Hemos ido todos los años y ese hotel es nuestro preferido por lo local, pero esta vez , trate de reclamar algo y ni siquiera vi esfuerzo por la situación, llevábamos 3dias no habían ni siquiera limpiado el cuarto, tuvimos q pedí , q por lo menos cambiaran las toallas. Un poco de decepción esta vez , a pesar de q el restaurante del lobby está espectacular.

I loved everything about the pod with the exception of the music. My room was on the first floor close to the lobby and the music they have playing is really loud in the rooms.

I loved the sheets, crisp and cool

Lower, the music is my only complaint.

Sleek, modern, quiet, and i like how easily the environment of the pod room can be changed to.your taste. Block out all or part of the window. Draw the curtain separating bath and bed. Or dont. Simple, trim, but still with all accessories like soapn shampoo, blow dryer.

I stayed for several nights. The hotel is clean and quiet. The staff are kind. There is a lot of space outside of the small rooms to use for laptops and a convenient change of scenery.

While the rooms and common/shared spaces are clean, I had an issue with the sink. Whenever I used it, water would seep out from the sides of the sink handle. Make sure to wipe it away or it will reach the floor.

The area is nice. I liked the neighborhood. It has many food options. I went to several coffee shops and a pizza place. The L subway is a 10 minute walk from the hotel.

My biggest concern was, I was told that late at night, a security person will check your hotel card to confirm you are lodging with them. However, one night when I arrived back closer to midnight, no one was there to greet me and check my identity. The lobby was empty and dark. This was not a deal breaker for me, as the neighborhood is fine. But, it is something to consider.

Overall, I will book here again. It’s great for solo travelers.

This is my go to for business stays when I’m back in NYC. What’s great/What you should know:

What’s great:
1. Location. In the heart of Williamsburg right near the Bedford Ave ie stop on the L. You’re one stop from Manhattan. Going to other parts of Brooklyn or to Queens? Three stops from the B62 bus.
2. Staff is great. Friendly, helpful, asks if you need anything g. Helped me get into a room earlier than check-in time and were super nice about it!
3. You can decline housekeeping. For quick stays if you don’t need your room cleaned so they’ll put you on a list so you can sleep in without worry of a knock on the door.
4. There’s tons of good eateries all 5 minutes walking distance away. The on premise restaurant is great in terms of service and food quality.
5. It’s surprisingly quiet. Never heard much of anything in my room or when I walked around the hallways. There’s a second floor lounge where you can do work and it’s usually filled and that’s a good thing if you want to be around people.
6. Great for solo traveling. Might feel claustrophobic for two or more.

What you should know:
1. This is NYC so the rooms are SMALL.
2. The shower/toilet design is a European/Japanese style meaning they share the same space and drain. When you shower the toilet gets wet. Just be aware this is by design for space and convenience.
3. The rooms can feel like a meat locker in terms of temperature. Adjust accordingly.

I recently stayed for two nights at the Williamsburg location and brought my partner with me. I wouldn't mind staying again, but it's very cramped for two people. There's no dresser to put your clothes, so you have to use the couple of hangers provided or fold them under the little desk. The lights were a little finicky, and now I understand why there are no pictures of the bathrooms. Because your toilet is in the shower with you. I would probably stay by myself if I ever did stay again.

Unbeatable Home Base for a 62 yr. old Solo Female Traveler

Looking for a safe, easy to get around from, with good value. Pod Brooklyn delivered.

After 3 fast paced days in Times Sq.,Rock plaza, Pod Brooklyn in Williamsburg gave me the chill, n'hood vibe I sought. Super close to restaurants, coffee shops, Whole Foods, local boutiques, and the Bedford Avenue subway station - great base to explore both Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Although I arrived 3 hrs. before check-on, front desk guru checked me right in and upgraded me to a quiet queen room overlooking the rooftop garden. The room was peaceful and spotless. Yes, the rooms are compact, but so well designed with every need met.

Can't say enough about the awesome front desk staff. They took the time to understand what I enjoyed and gave primo recos for restaurants, neighborhoods, and subway directions. Their local knowledge made my trip even better.

A few things to know: daily housekeeping is available; you can request a mini refrigerator and dorm-style microwave for your room. I also appreciated the self-service linen station at the end of each hallway, measy to grab fresh towels or extra bedding without calling the front desk.

Nice mix of travelers -vacationers to remote workers. Especially recommend Pod Brooklyn to solo female travelers. I always felt comfortable walking around the neighborhood. If you're looking for a clean, well-designed hotel in a great Williamsburg location - this is it!

The room had a really weird, kind of toxic smell to it. I'm not sure if they just had an exterminator in, or if they regularly spray chemicals to disinfect the room or something, but I do not think it was healthy for me to be breathing in whatever was lingering in that room. It made me quite nauseous and made it difficult to be in the space. The window was also cut in two by a big slat of wall, so there was a weird barred window quality, with a sliver of window at the top and bottom, but most of the window replaced by wall. It is one of the cheapest accommodation options, but still quite expensive for what you get. If you can afford it, I'd pay a bit more for somewhere else.

I usually do not leave reviews, however, there is no way that housekeeping cleans the rooms between guests. Starting with the bathroom, there were balls of hair on the floor and strings of hair stuck to the shower walls. There was hair in the sleeping area floor, on the windowsills, and between the platform and mattress.

My sheets were heavily stained and there was the same dark hair in the bed. The rooms were just extremely dirty, which is unacceptable and very unhealthy. Please do better.
