The Spotlight on Pod Times Square

Compact Comfort Steps from Times Square

Modern, affordable, and right in the heart of Manhattan, Pod Times Square offers smartly designed rooms just a short walk from some of New York City’s most iconic concert venues. With a sleek, minimalist vibe and a prime location on 42nd Street, this hotel delivers all the essentials without breaking the bank.

Each room comes with a flat-screen TV, private bathroom with shower, and thoughtful touches like free toiletries and a hairdryer. With free WiFi throughout and a 24-hour front desk, it’s an easy, no-fuss base for your concert-going adventures.

Why Concert-goers love it

Pod Times Square sits just blocks from Times Square and major music venues, making it a top pick for fans heading to shows. The hotel’s compact, quiet rooms are perfect for unwinding after a loud night out. With 24-hour front desk service and a 12:00 pm checkout, you can sleep in post-show without a rush. Easy access to late-night transit and walkable dining options means you won’t miss a beat before or after the concert.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central, affordable crash pad
  • Solo travelers in town for a must-see artist
  • Couples planning a weekend escape with music and city vibes
  • Fans who want a quieter place to recharge after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting location without the luxury markup

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features an on-site restaurant and bar, ideal for grabbing a bite before heading out or winding down after the show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you're steps from Restaurant Row with late-night eats galore. Got the post-concert munchies? There are plenty of nearby spots open late, and breakfast options are easy to find in the neighborhood after sleeping in.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more chill than party, you're just a stroll away from the buzz of Hell’s Kitchen with its lively bars and lounges. Whether you're into cocktails, local brews, or a low-key drink with friends, you’ll find plenty of spots to keep the night going after your concert.

What People Say

Guests love the location, calling it “super convenient” for catching shows and exploring the city. The rooms, though compact, are praised for being clean, modern, and well-designed. Reviewers also highlight the friendly staff and the hotel’s unbeatable value for its central location.

Areas for Improvement

If you're expecting a big room with lots of frills, this may not be your spot. The rooms are cozy (read: small), and some guests found the storage space limited. But for most concert-goers, it’s more than enough for a short, music-filled stay.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a clean, budget-friendly place to crash just steps from NYC’s top music venues, Pod Times Square hits all the right notes.

Exceptional

Liked: It was at a perfect location and super convenient to go everywhere. The room’s super clean, tiny but functional (bathroom was really clean and provided hair-dryer). The staff were nice and friendly. I didn’t encounter any complaints in the comments. The only thing could’ve been a bonus is to provide us two bottles of water per day - that’d make the trip perfect-perfect (they had kettle tho). And there’re many restaurants nearby. Overall I had a great stay!

Perfect location, affordable price but...

Liked: The location is absolutely unbeatable, right around the corner from the Port Authority Bus Terminal as well as Times Square, smack dab in the middle of Manhattan. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The bathroom was very clean.
Disliked: The room with bunk beds was extremely small, which I guess is to be expected for such a price in Manhattan. Unfortunately, however, the room had a rather unpleasant, unclean, smell to it. Also the door to the bathroom didn't close (a latch was broken or something) so that was also unfortunate. Also, the AC in the lobby was maybe a little extreme (though if course adjustable in the room).

Fitted our requirements

Liked: We had a bunk room and beds were comfortable and room well designed given how compact it was. Small things like hooks, light in bathroom coming on when you open door etc. Communal areas/halls felt quite tired, bar was nice.
Disliked: Update communal areas
