This was my second time in a POD hotel and was amazing the hole experience in the POD51, the staff is super friendly, always caring about us, super cool ambience, people, the neighborhood, so near to metro stations, good food around, I can keep going...only I can say, is wait me there next year! PS: especial thanks to Alba, the second floor cleaner lady, she was an angel on my path!

i really wanted to love this hotel, but had so many problems during my stay here. 1. mice and bugs in the room. i had to move rooms TWICE. really stressful, it’s hard to relax in your room or sleep well when this is a concern. 2. lots of things were broken in the rooms. for example the toilet was leaking when flushed, the shower tap came off the wall when you turn it, the bedside lamps didn’t work. the hotel did send someone very quickly to fix these problems, but shouldn’t really have happened to begin with. 3. it’s very loud. the A/C units in the room are very noisy, and the walls are so thin that you can hear everything from other rooms, the hallway, even the lift. thankfully i brought earplugs but even with those it wasn’t really quiet. 4. really difficult to collect mail for some reason - i had a USPS parcel delivered and 2 guys at the front desk told me it wasn’t there, USPS hadn’t been at all. they told me to walk to the USPS office to ask them. of course USPS told me it had been delivered and even described who they gave it to. when i came back to the hotel i asked a 3rd hotel staff member, who said yes it had been delivered that morning and they would get it for me from the mail room. so the first 2 guys just don’t have a clue, or were trying to steal guests’ mail…? it’s really a shame there were so many problems because this place could be good - it’s in a good location to explore the city, and the small rooms are fine for travel on a budget. some of the staff were also really nice, the asian-american man at the front desk and also the maintenance guys who came to fix things in my room. unfortunately due to the problems described above i can’t recommend it to anyone and i would never stay here again.

They charge $277 for one night in a “ shoe box” tiny room that you could barely move . Overpriced and overrated…..!!!

Hi Maria, Please reach out to reservations directly for extended stay options: 844-POD-ROOM. Unfortunately, Pod 51 does not allow pets, but we have sister properties that do.

How do I ask them to cancel the hotel security deposit that was not refounded ? I was there paid for the days and the security deposit made at check in was not refounded.

Lígia A. de Oliveira | Oct 3, 2018
Pod 51 Hotel | Oct 3, 2018

Hi Ligia, The security deposit is not a charge, it is an authorization. This hold is released at check-out. The time it takes to be available in your account is dependent on your financial institution. Please note, the approximate time frames were noted on the registration card reviewed and signed at check-in. We have no control over the time it takes your bank to release the money, so we do try to make this clear at check-in. I hope this helps.
