Bunk Pod Room

The Bunk Pod Room sleeps 2 guests in two twin beds, so it works well for friends, siblings, colleagues or a parent travelling with a child. It is a compact room at 115 sq. ft., designed for people who plan to spend their days out in the city rather than in the room.

The room has 2 twin beds dressed with fresh bed sheets. Because the room is compact, it is a good fit for two guests who each want their own bed rather than a shared one.

The bathroom is private and has a shower with a rainfall showerhead. It comes with free toiletries including shampoo and soap, plus towels, toilet paper and a hair dryer. A toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request.

The rooms at Pod Times Square are soundproofed, and the Bunk Pod Room also has blackout drapes and climate-controlled air conditioning and heating, which helps you rest after a long day. The hotel sits at 400 W 42nd Street in Hell's Kitchen/Midtown West, one block west of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, so you are in a lively part of Manhattan.

You get a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a desk and desk chair, a room safe, a phone and daily housekeeping. An iron and ironing board are available on request. Free Wi-Fi is offered throughout the hotel, and internet access and domestic calls are covered by the nightly facility fee of $29.84 per room, tax included.

Pod Times Square is about 600 metres from the centre of Times Square, and Broadway theatres are only a few minutes' walk away. The Port Authority subway and bus station is one block away, with the Times Square-42nd Street station about 550 metres from the hotel, which makes it easy to reach the rest of the city on foot or by subway.

Bar 42 is the ground-floor lobby bar, serving creative cocktails and snacks, with an on-the-go breakfast available for a fee. For dinner there is Serafina in the Sky, an Italian rooftop restaurant with indoor and alfresco seating.

Pod Times Square has no pool, hot tub or spa, as it is a Midtown Manhattan hotel built around its location. There is also no on-site parking, but a garage one block away at 350 West 42nd Street offers 24-hour parking, priced at $57 for a sedan and $67 for an SUV or oversized vehicle.

Check-in begins at 3:00 PM, and the guest checking in must be at least 18. Check-out is around midday to 1:00 PM, and complimentary luggage storage helps on departure day. A $50 refundable incidentals hold is authorised on arrival. From Newark, the Airport Express bus runs to Port Authority on W 42nd Street every 30 minutes, taking about 48 minutes and costing $25.
