Great hotel. Great compact room. Checks all boxes
Great room. Small but sometimes small isn’t bad. This room had all you needed at a great price near popular places. Great location. And great unobstructed views from room.

No frills but price was right
So glad we discovered this hotel. Super affordable, very functional without feeling cheap. No frills but we didn’t need them. Bunk beds were comfortable. TVs didn’t work but it wasn’t a big deal. Location was fine, maybe a couple blocks away from the main tourist areas but didn’t feel sketchy. Will stay here again.

Pleasantly surprised
This was my first stay at Pod Times Square and I would definitely stay again. The room was clean and very well organized. Yes, the space is small, but it includes everything you need exactly where you need it. My only complaint is the elevator (you need to take two elevators up and down), but I realize this must have been an architectural adaptation. Coffee in the room would be a big plus, but it's not so far away.

Convenient location
Good location & easy walk to the Javitts center, but the bed was extremely firm. Good quiet bar, but no food service in the hotel. Price was on par for the small room. If you just need a bed & bath without all the frills, then this is a good deal.

Amazing
I have stayed here at the Pod Hotels Time Square and every time it is perfect. It is comfy and affordable and it’s my budget especially considering we were going to a city where we were not spending extensive time in our hotel room. Even thought that is the case for many others their rooms are still always clean and perfect and staff welcoming, helpful, and inviting. I will always recommend.

Scammed me.
I booked a room for day trip in New York. Upon check in I have noticed a sharp chemical smell from the bedsheets. The front desk staff were unable to switch the room due to availability. After a short deliberation I elected to cancel my stay due to concerns about the smell. The hotel charged me the full stay fee and refused refund.
