Situated nearly 20 minutes' walk from Times Square, the 3-star Pod 51 Hotel New York features baggage storage and a restaurant. This New York hotel is 2.1 km from the multi-purpose indoor arena "Madison Square Garden" and invites guests to one of the 2 onsite restaurants.
Location
The hotel is nestled in the Hamm district of New York, approximately 5 minutes' drive from business venues like the 102-story Art Deco skyscraper "Empire State Building" and within reach of the enormous 13th-century-style Gothic church "St. Patrick's Cathedral". The Museum of Modern Art is merely 1.1 km from the Pod 51 New York and LaGuardia airport is 5 km away.
Guests will also appreciate the vicinity to Katharine Hepburn Garden, located just 6 minutes' walk away. The property is a few steps from the Citigroup Center, while 51st Street tube station lies 300 metres away.
The Pod 51 is a mere 5 minutes on foot from East 50th Street/2nd Avenue bus stop and within a 1-km distance of Grand Central train station in New York.
Rooms
Facing the city, some of the 335 rooms come with high-speed internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and such essentials as individual climate control and ironing equipment. They offer such nice touches as paintings, along with a study desk, and marble flooring. Guests can also make use of a shower and a rainfall showerhead, as well as comforts such as a hair dryer and bath sheets.
Eat & Drink
Guests are invited to the on-site POD Garden restaurant to indulge in culinary delights.
“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 is excellent, near the subway, providing convenient access to various parts of the city.
The room was quite small. I found the limited space rather restricting for a comfortable stay.

small room unclean bathroom
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.
