Loved by Pod 51 Hotel guests
"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 :)"
"The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the air conditioner is strong."
"This place is great for people on a budget."
Offering a luggage room and a restaurant, the 3-star Pod 51 Hotel New York lies in the Hamm district of New York, only 0.6 km from the Central Synagogue and around 10 minutes by car from the Long-standing Macy's Department Store. Located approximately 25 minutes' walk from the multi-purpose indoor arena "Madison Square Garden", this New York hotel comprises 335 rooms and 2 restaurants.
Location
The towering Neo-Gothic church "St. Patrick's Cathedral" is not very far away, while Grand Central train station is within reach of the hotel. The Pod 51 New York is 600 m from East 50th Street/2nd Avenue bus stop and 500 m from the Citigroup Center.
The property allows you to enjoy such natural sights as The High Line Public Park 3.4 km away.
The nearest tube station is 51st Street, nearly a 5-minute walk away.

Some of the air-conditioned rooms are equipped with individual climate control, central heating, and an iron with ironing board, as well as media facilities such as high-speed internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels.

Eat & Drink

“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.”

The location was great, near subway stations. It made getting around easy.
I was disappointed that the room felt smaller than expected. There was little space to move around and the shared bathroom wasn't always clean. I hoped for better for the price I paid.
