The Pod Hotel Brooklyn
Most hotels in Brooklyn justify their high rates by stuffing their hotel rooms with things today’s travelers don’t even want. At Pod Brooklyn 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 affordable rates.
Our 249 rooms are chic, simple, spacious, cozy, and functional – all at the very same time. Large picture windows overlook our green courtyards, welcoming in plenty of natural light. Ultra-comfy beds, window shutters, light dimmers, and personal climate control let you set just the right mood for sleeping or relaxing. Free Wi-Fi, smart workspaces, and power stations for your gadgets keep you charged and connected.

Acerca de The Pod Times Square
At the Pod Hotels®, an ounce of essentials is worth ten pounds of fluff. After all, what’s the point of blowing your budget on a hotel room if you’re too cash-strapped to enjoy yourself once you arrive? We’ll never reach into your pocket by charging for unnecessary extras nobody wants anyway. We’ve stripped the hotel experience down and made it simple: you get everything you need, and nothing you don’t.
Say adios to clunky furniture, outrageously overpriced minibars, and coffeemakers that look like they’ve been around the block a few too many times. Our rooms maximize space and minimize waste, with functional quirks like bunk beds, cleverly placed TVs and storage areas, and sleek, minimalistic furniture. We keep overhead low and share the wealth by passing those savings onto you.
With free Wi-Fi and gadget-friendly social areas, we make it easy to stay connected – online and in real life. Our Pod Concierge Teams are full of local insider knowledge. They’ll help you get to the best attractions, shopping, or restaurants, or maybe even get into a little trouble – but only if you let them come along.
You’ll look at all other hotels differently once you’ve experienced the Pod Hotels®. We don’t just bring you the heart of the city, we’ll give you its body, mind, and soul at no extra charge.
