No title - expert review
This no-frills but convenient East Side establishment is regularly booked solid by bargain hunters. Privations you endure to save a buck start and end with the lilliputian size of some rooms, all of which have cheap-looking furnishings; some doubles have bunk beds. However, some rooms look over the ...

If those silhouettes from the iPod commercials were to design a hotel, this would be it. Each funky room here has an iPod docking station, complimetary WiFi and an LCD TV. Surprisingly unaffiliated with Apple, this place used to be the Pickwick Arms. Still situated in Midtown East, it s not too far ...

The Pod Hotel is New York City's first pod style hotel. The rooms are small, sleek very modern and clean. Emphasis is on praticality and comfort. The property was completely renovated in 2006. The new lobby is both very exciting and fun. Beginning the summer of 2007 we will have a roof top entertain...

Clean and Cozy - user review
I stayed for 4 nights in a closet sized room for one with private bath during the Christmas season. Unless you specifically want a big, grandiose room, I highly recommend Pickwick. It's a perfect place for those looking for a comfortable, safe, clean place to spend the night after a fun filled day. ...

What a gem!! - user review
This hotel is great. I agree with the other reviewer, shared toilet/shower, no problem. This hotel is clean, bright, and cheerful, standard rooms may be a little small, but you're in NYC, what are you doing staying in your room The only problem i have is I'm back in NYC in two weeks, and this hotel ...

GREAT SURPRISE IN THE BIG APPLE!! - user review
When a friend suggested we stay at the Pickwick Arms in bunk beds I envisioned a prison cell, one step from hell. What I found was a bit of heaven on New York's elegant East Side! Yes, there were bunk beds, but the matresses were so luxurious, I practically fell asleep immediately. Each bed has its ...

Surprisingly Quiet - user review
Based on others reviews, I expected to be awaken in the night by more than a few doors. While I did notice the doors opening and closing during the day, night time was surprisingly quiet. Even with a firehouse nearby. This is a gem tucked away from Lexington's hussle and bussle. Will definitely reco...

A good deal in an ideal location - user review
Hotel is ideally situated in a block with numerous restaurants. Lobby is inviting, check in/check out was quick. Elevators are slow and small. Rooms are very small, but that only matters if you are spending a great deal of time in the room, which most visitors are not. Rooms w/bathrooms: bathroom is...

Surprising Little Place beyond my expectation - user review
I chose the hotel based on price since it was one of the cheaper ones in Manhattan. I spent quite some time reading all the reviews, and they were mostly positive (except for the size), so I was comfortable with what to expect (also looked at the pictures). As I have never been here, I wasn't sure a...

Very well located hotel, but rooms are too small - user review
I have stayed for 2 nights in the Pod and I can say that they have very good service, cleanliness is excellent , the hotel is very well located (4 blocks away from Rockefeller Center) but my room was the same size than a shoe box (almost literally). I recommend the hotel but just if you are going to...

You must stay here! - user review
I have stayed in many hotels around the world but I have never received the cleanliness and comfort at such an affordable price as I did at the Pod. The hotel was under construction during my visit. The rooms are extremely small but if you are a simple traveler and need a simple clean place to sleep...

Comfy Pod - user review
I stayed in a double room with a private bath. The room was small, but very clean. The shower worked well, the heat worked well, the Internet connection worked well. Loved the location easy to get to just about anything. Elevators are slow and small better to take the stairs if you can. Only drawbac...

Great deal, will stay there again. - user review
I was a little worried that the budget nature of this place would mean it would be packed with students partying and making noise all night. Not so. I had a double with private bath and found the room small, but very clean and very comfortable. (I can see how it could be a little tight with two peop...

Good location, extremely functional, would return again - user review
My daughter and I stayed at the Pod for 4 nights. It was perfect for us, we had bunk beds and a shared bath. Baths were always available....there are even lights above the door in the sleeping rooms telling you which bathroom (4 per floor) were available. The size of the room compared with cabins on...

Very clean, convenient location, best for singles - user review
The hotel was very clean, the pictures shown on their website are good representation of what you'll get. The rooms are really tiny, but they make excellent use of their space. I was in a double room with a private bath by myself, and felt like I had enough space. I don't think I could have shared t...

Recommend hotel - user review
The room was very clean. Though small, it was pleasant enough. The wireless internet in the room and lobby did not work, the hair dryer was broken, and the in room safe wasn't left open so it couldn't be easily used. Despite these setbacks, I would recommend the Pod for...

I will definately be back! - user review
The rooms are small and comfy just right for people who don't intend on staying in their rooms all day. Great for sightseers who only wake, shower and sleep there. This was my second stay at this hotel and for my purposes, The Pod is the most comfy and friendly in New York. Traveler's tip on local a...

Hip and savvy ’hostel’ - user review
The single room is perfect for a NYC traveler/tourist on a budget. This savvy, modern hostel is brand new and it shows. Great midtown location with a bar/restaurant downstairs and casual roof perfect for enjoying the view and/or having some drinks. Walls are a little thin, but a traveler in NYC shou...

Better than I expected - user review
While it appeared cool from the photos and the price was right, i was a little hesitant about the shared bathrooms (i.e. do i need to bring my own towel ) The answer: absolutely not! Very clean although my room smelled slightly musty nothing an open window couldn't fix. The decor was cool the servic...

Paper thin walls ! - user review
You can easily hear conversations, TV's, room doors and elevators opening and closing. No ice machine and only one soft drink machine located on the bottom floor. Rooms are clean, well maintained, but cramped. Great if you just want a place to sleep while sight seeing. My room had two bunk beds but ...

Horrible and Dirty - user review
Stayed at this place last fall and will never go back. The room was miniscule, the walls thin, and the carpet and bathroom were both incredibly worn and dirty. I diplomatically complained and was greeted with a screw you attitude, so I decided to check out early. I headed to the Fitzpatrick, which w...

Pickwick Arms Hotel (230 East 51ST Street ): Pickwick Arms Hotel - user review
This is one of those places where you can just come and go as you please. Unfortunately, no breakfast is available and you do have to share the toilet and showers, yet somehow there were never any queues. The shower was great very powerful and hot just what I need after a long day pounding the stree...
