The minute I walked into the lobby to check-in I knew I would be taken care of and most importantly in a very safe environment.
I made sure I was up early for complimentary coffee serviced on the first floor dining space. Salma the young lady running the breakfast service was wonderful, even on a day she worked alone in a packed room.
Gracias!

My stays in New York City are usually for business and usually just one night at a time. All I'm ever looking for is a clean quiet and safe place to sleep for the night. This hotel ticks all the boxes.

Pod 39 is in an excellent location for getting pretty well anywhere in the city; it's easy to walk and to get public transport. The room was comfortable and quiet, and the staff was nice.

Stayed in the bunk pod and the room was perfect. We just needed a place to stay for 6 days and Pod 39 exceeded all expectations!
Whenever I come back to NY I’ll be sure to stay here again!

Great hotel for an option to stay at NYC for a short trip (10 days max.) Personnel is very kind and is always willing to give a good service. Cleanliness is the most outstanding characteristic of this hotel; everyday they got into my room to sheets, towels and make a deep clean in the floor and bathroom. If your visit to NYC is for business or vacation in Manhattan, this hotel is an outstanding alternative. The location is properly connected to main streets and avenues of Manhattan, so moving around is pretty easy; I mean, the hotel is like 5 minutes away from Grand Central Terminal by foot.
