"Aside from the clean and practical room, the excellent location close to all public transports, and in immediate proximity to good restaurants etc), i really loved the terrace on the 14th floor where we enjoyed our breakfast in the morning, and where we'd go to enjoy the city lights at night before going to bed :)"

Featuring a storage room and a restaurant, the 3-star Pod 51 Hotel New York is located approximately 5 minutes' walk from 24 Hour Fitness. The hotel is a good starting point for exploring New York, including the enormous 13th-century-style Gothic church "St. Patrick's Cathedral", which is just 0.7 km away.
Location
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a stone's throw from this New York hotel, while PJ Clarke's is merely 500 metres away. The Seagram Building is only 6 minutes on foot from the Pod 51 New York, and LaGuardia airport is 5 km away.
The accommodation stands about 400 metres from 51st Street IRT Lexington Avenue Line tube station and within reach of Grand Central train station.
Rooms
Equipped with a laptop-compatible safe, some of the 335 rooms feature paintings along with a study desk. Guests will appreciate such comforts as individual climate control, central heating, and an iron and ironing board, and relax with high-speed internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Some of these air-conditioned rooms face the city.
Eat & Drink
POD Garden is one of the 2 in-house restaurants.
“For budget-conscious travelers, this Midtown Manhattan location is tough to beat, with an efficient, minimalist style. I appreciate the free walking tours, a real insider's view. The rooftop deck alone seals the deal, especially given the price point.”
