Great place to stay, especially for younger people. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The hotel looks modern and clean, and the common area is a nice place to hang out or relax. We really enjoyed the terrace – it has a great view! The location is also amazing, with lots of good food, coffee, and shops very close by.

Can't really fault it. We were very pleasantly surprised by the Pod. Lots to like. Great value compared to eye watering Manhattan prices. Safe and secure. Modern. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room with housekeeping at a frequency you choose. Comfortable mattress and pillows. We had an interior courtyard room and didn't hear any noise from the surrounding roads or indeed other guests. Yes the rooms are tiny but you have everything you need. And the shower over toilet thing mentioned by other reviewers really isn't that bad. We appreciated the complimentary tea and coffee every morning and discounts at a couple of local restaurants to make up for the current bar/restaurant closure. Williamsburg is a fantastic area with great shops, bars etc and amazing views of Manhattan just a 10 min walk away at the North Williamsburg ferry stop. We even had a view of the Chrysler building from our window. Easy access to the subway at Bedford Ave c.5 mins away and then around 20/30 mins to the main Midtown sites. Manhattan is frenetic and we enjoyed being able to retreat to Williamsburg where things are more relaxed. It was a gamble to choose to stay in Brooklyn on our first visit to NYC and we didn't regret it one bit.

Very clean

I stayed in Pod Brooklyn for a week and absolutely loved it. It’s comfortable, very quiet and most importantly the location was great. The rooms are modern and very comfortable, especially for solo travelers. From 7-11am the hotel offers complementary coffee/tea which was pretty good. There is a grocery store right next door, which is great if you want to grab a snack. The location in term of city center is great as well. The L train (subway) is only a 5 minute walk or even less if you walk faster and in just 10-15 minutes you are right in the center of New York. If you want to walk to the seaside, it’s about 20 min but it’s worth it for a great first view of Upper Manhattan. It would be much more convenient if there was a mini fridge in the room (but considering limited space it’s understandable that it may not be possible). But overall it was a great experience staying in this hotel!

Very clean, comfortable room. It's small, but the layout was really well-thought-out, and everything I needed was inside. I'd say the size is perfect for one person, a little tight for two if you're not used to living in the city. They even provided a mini fridge when I asked for one at check-in. Yes, the toilet is inside the shower, but it didn't bother me much at all. The location is outstanding! Right in the heart of Williamsburg with tons of great restaurants, bars, and shopping. The subway stop is a quick 5-min walk away. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'd absolutely stay here again.
