Pod Times Square

Yes, the room was a bit small. However, we didn’t come to NYC to lounge in a hotel room. We came for Broadway, easy access to all things, and most of all pleasant staff and a clean facility. We found all of this here. From being greeted each time we came through the lobby, to a very friendly bartender who was such a kind guy when we stopped in on 3/5 to the exceptionally nice front desk gentleman who reversed our check out on 3/6 at 6:30 am when we messed up our ferry departure and allowed us to have our room back for a couple more hours. The little store next door has the best staff as well and overall for 2 women to be traveling to NYC alone we could not have wished for a better experience. Do not sleep on this little gem. All was lovely and we’ll definitely be back next year.

Great hotel for the money! Staff was friendly and welcoming. Rooms are small but it was just me so I didn't mind. The bunk room would probably tight for 2 people though. The location was great because I love being able to walk everywhere. I walked back from a Broadway show alone and felt safe (as safe as you can be in a big city). If you're looking for luxury, this isn't it. But if you just want an affordable hotel room in a great location, I would definitely recommend this one.

Great location minutes from times square. Basic room, clean with all necessary amenities, no frills. Great for solo travellers and good price. Could do with modernising the electricity sockets to have outlets for C type cables for phones. USB port was not working in my room either and i could only find one wall socket under the desk that had other things connected to it. Would stay again.

Came during New Year's so of course everything is more expensive and packed compared to normal....butttt..... so close to everything!! Rooms are very minimalist, but we didn't come to sit in our room. Wish had a mini fridge &/ or microwave, but everything else was great. Front desk was quick and friendly, special request was addressed very fast and friendly as well. Good view, comfortable beds, and everything need in a small personal space.

The location of Pod Times Square is super convenient — you’re right in the middle of everything, just steps away from Times Square. It’s definitely one of the most congested areas in New York, but I still felt safe throughout my stay. It’s New York, so you’ll see all kinds of people, but that’s part of the experience. The room was clean, well-maintained, and had a stunning view. I stayed with my wife and toddler son in the bunk bedroom. The space was limited, and it can get a bit frustrating after a while since you literally have to take turns to change or get ready for the day. Still, that’s understandable — it’s a budget-friendly hotel, and I didn’t mind it at all. They also provide shampoo and soap, which was a nice touch. One thing to note: the elevator setup can be a little tiring. You first take one elevator to the 5th floor to reach the lobby, and then another to your room. It’s not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing ahead of time. The bar area was nice, although the restrooms there could’ve been cleaner — probably just due to how busy the place gets. Overall, I’d give this hotel a solid 4.3 out of 5. It’s a great spot if you want a clean, convenient, and affordable stay in the heart of New York City. If space matters to you or you’re traveling with more than two people, be prepared for tight quarters. Otherwise, thank you, Pod Times Square, for a great new experience!

Was impressed by this hotel. Better price than surrounding hotels, it is a small space but workable. Comfortable beds and nice bathroom and shower situation. For a Manhattan hotel, it was pleasantly quiet. The loudest outdoor noise that got through was the emergency vehicles but it isn't enough to keep me awake. They have a room for holding luggage and I highly recommend using the airport limo if you're going to LGA. It was cheaper than the taxi and a MUCH nicer ride. Driver was out front precisely on time, the vehicle was very nice and the whole experience was professional. I would be happy to stay here again!

The rooms are compact but smartly designed, super clean, and surprisingly comfortable — ideal if you plan to explore the city more than sit inside. The location is unbeatable, just steps from Times Square and major subway lines, making everything easily accessible. The lobby has a cool, modern vibe, and the rooftop lounge is a great bonus for unwinding after a busy day in the city. If you want stylish, affordable, and efficient in the heart of Manhattan, this spot delivers.

This was a great location to be in proximity to time square and the train station. I stayed here with my son for a NYC college tour. The room we had was perfect for the two of us. It was the room with a bunk bed. The set up was perfect and just what was needed to lay our heads at night. The offer free walking tours and there was also a restaurant in the hotel. We would definitely stay here again.
