Fab hotel! The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of everything. Clean, modern, and well set up. The rooms are on the smaller side, but that’s totally expected in NYC, and you’re hardly in them anyway so it really wasn’t an issue. Staff were lovely, housekeeping was excellent and done daily. Would absolutely recommend and would happily stay again. Fab!

We had the quad bunk room, was comfortable and a nice dark room to escape the heat over the weekend. Friendly staff and very inviting. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Excellent location, so close to grand central and walkable to lots of attractions. The first room I was in was very noisy because of either the main street or ventilation, but the staff was so helpful and changed the room for me. Room is not so spacious but way more enough for a solo traveller. Clean and comfortable. They also have free walking tours available which is good. I’ll stay in pod 39 again if I come back :)

Great base for exploring New York. Check in was easy and hotel staff welcoming and helpful. The room had everything we needed for our New York holiday. Storing luggage on our last day was super easy.

The room was on the street side, but was very quiet. Beds were very comfortable. Close to subway and bus routes.
There could have been shelving in the bathroom for makeup etc.

The staff are amazing and the hotel is subway central. The walls are a bit thin but that was a concern for our neighbours with our snoring lol. Always felt safe and highly recommend.

Excellent location to everything. Either walking distance or a quick train ride with a really close station! Great room with wardrobe as well. Decent sized and free breakfast which was great. Would definitely stay again.

My room was clean and a very comfortable home away from home. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall it was a fabulous experience in a wonderful Manhattan location.
