Pod 51

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel/hostel. I chose a room with a shared bathroom, and the stay was excellent; I encountered no problems, and the space remained consistently clean."

Night Hotel Broadway

8/10 Good

"Great location, great price. Only issue(s) are minor. Wall A/C is loud, so T.V. Volume has to be somewhat high. Another traveler below our room decided to call cops rather than ask the building manager to handle it; but hey… what’s New York without a little crazy. Elevators are old, so a bit small… but better than walking 14 stories!!! Will stay here again next time."
