Introduction / Description
As the very first in the Pod Hotels collection, Pod 51 Hotel ushered in a new generation of budget hotels in New York City and remains one of the most unique and affordable hotels in the city to this day.
Perfectly located on a charming, tree-lined block in Midtown Manhattan, our recently renovated hotel makes it easy to experience it all without spending it all on your hotel room.
At the hotel, you’ll find comfortable, inviting spaces for relaxing or catching up with work, from our chic, comfy hotel rooms to our café, patio and courtyard, and al fresco rooftop. Step outside and it’s a few steps to three major subway lines, Fifth Avenue, Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, and much, much more. The opportunities for exploring, shopping, eating, and playing are limitless, but our Pod Concierge Team is available to help narrow it down to your personal preference.
This hip modern budget hotel on a leafy block in Midtown East is 1.1 miles from Times Square.
Colorful modern rooms, some with bunk beds, have flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, free Wi-Fi, desks and/or sitting areas. Most rooms have en suite bathrooms; some have shared facilities.
Amenities consist of a year-round courtyard cafe, a funky lounge with games and a bar, and a furnished rooftop terrace with city views.

Most New York City hotels justify their high rates by stuffing their hotel rooms with things today’s travelers don’t even want. At Pod 51 Hotel, we’ve stripped ours down to efficient, fun, and affordable spaces with all the necessary comforts. Eliminating the fluff saves us money, which we of course pass onto you in the form of super wallet-friendly rates.
The 348 rooms at Pod 51 Hotel have been designed to be compact spaces that are functional, efficient, and fun at a price that has you in mind. Not all of the Pods at Pod 51 have private bathrooms, but the majority do. There are multiple shared bathrooms on every floor and so you don’t have to worry about running from one to another to figure out which one is vacant, we have an ingenious solution that lets you know without even having to leave your room.
