Spending the night in a NYC Capsule Hotel (My First Time!)

Hey everyone! Last week I traveled to New York and wanted to stay in a capsule hotel! I found this place that wasn't a traditional capsule hotel like i've seen online before, but I thought it was a cool american take on the experience! (not sponsored at all btw)
So some background, this was called Pod 51, and they offered a wide variety of rooms and sizes for pretty affordably. It was much more affordable than the previous chain hotel I had stayed at before, and a competitive price for the air bnb's I had checked out in the area. I mentioned a hostel had peaked my interest, but in the end this place checked all my travel boxes.
Anyway! Let me know, would you stay here? Or would you stay somewhere similar?
Did the shared bathroom freak you out?

'It's Thursday night and there are some bars around here...' **takes a shower and goes to bed** We love a practical queen who has her priorities in order!!!

@alonzotanner1226 2 года назад

Queen? Someone's simpin. Jk lol she seems real nice.

@courtneymanning8770 5 лет назад

i would totally stay there! it seems perfect for what i would need for a short trip to nyc, and i love the bathroom indicators so you don't have to like wait in a line or just awkwardly stand in the hall

@missrachelk81 4 года назад

It’s just like a dorm room! Perfect for traveling.

@marenadavenport2121 5 лет назад

We stay at Pod39 all the time and while ours doesnt offer a shared bathroom feature, its consistently cheap (for NYC) clean tidy and exactly what we need considering most times we're in the city we're barely in the room!

@inu099 5 лет назад

I was procrastinating on finding a place to stay when I see Joanna in New York in September, well I just booked a reservation with Pod 51

@mirandac453 5 лет назад

This was a really cool video, thank you for sharing your experience!

@juleshenry6398 5 лет назад

the place seemed super neat! but for the price they could've given you an extra blanket at least :/

@Qckndlife 5 лет назад

Yes! Agreed. I bet I could have requested one really, but I didn't anticipate it during the waking hours T__T

@Nicole-tg5vy 5 лет назад

So this is kinda just like a really really really nice college dorm

@williamorensky4785 4 года назад

as a college student that lives on campus, that was my thought too. but it was a lot smaller.... and a lot cheaper.

@Gilbertory 4 года назад

Yes

@ATrainTravels 4 года назад

Looks good!

@lalahaha8508 3 года назад

??? My college dorm didn’t look this small I had a single room with a small kitchen and bathroom but I mean I was there on a full scholarship for physics so I guess that was just a bonus

@SchDari 4 года назад

Thank you soooo much for this video!! I'm figuring out if i want to book this hotel, and your experience is super helpful!

@shawnstone666 5 лет назад

“It has the modern chair. And this phone from the 70’s” 🤣🙌🏼 yes!!

@jessicazombie1106 4 года назад

I cringed. The phone is so 90's. She's probably too young to figure out a rotary phone from the 70's.

@lala9259 5 лет назад

I stayed at a hostel and Paris and it was super chill. I live in dorms so I'm not mad about sharing spaces, and I think people should give them more of a chance! They can be a great way to travel cheap and even meet people!

@bumtrip187 5 лет назад

egg-n-toast do you remember the name of the hostel?? :-)

@Annie-of3ze 5 лет назад

This is so cool! I love all of your second channel videos ❤️

@myprincessbunny 5 лет назад

Really enjoyed this video :) Your editing style is so clean, and your commentary is so well thought out.

This is a truck driver's daily routine. The room is bigger than the truck cab. Highly recommend flip flops for shower shoes. I use hand sanitizer or some disinfectant for the toilet.

Yay! New mama quack video 🚨💥🚨

@drea3348 5 лет назад

I’ve been trying to figure out what that little Totoro thing was haha! Like Is it a water bottle? A container? A night light? I have no clue! But it’s cute! Hah

This was such a great vid! also that hotel seemed like such a cool place to stay.

@HR-wd6cw 4 года назад

It's like a slight upgrade to a typical dorm. And for $150 per night for being in/near downtown NYC that's not bad, as whenever I looked they were always $300+. When I think if pod hotels though, I think of the ones in Japan which are literally big enough for one person to sleep in and that's it, but then again, in USD those are a lot cheaper (I've heard like $25 per night) so the $116 per night for this "pod" hotel doesn't seem to bad and looks like it has enough space to move around so you don't get claustrophobic.

@Chilli2pt0 3 года назад

Great video quality! Very informative. Thanks

@kaitlinmarcilionis9018 5 лет назад

This is so neat! There's nothing like this near me so it was super cool to see this! I looked up capsule hotels in america and noticed that they have some in airports in Atlanta, Charlotte, Philly, and Dallas Fort Worth. Made me consider this as opposed to a hotel if it's ever available to me. Thanks for sharing!

@LaDeParDee 5 лет назад

I love the Pods! I've stayed at Pod 39 for the first time in like 2015 & Pod Brooklyn recently (highly recommend Pod Brooklyn btw it's in an old warehouse and it's dope) 🖤 cool to see 51 second hand, haven't been to that one so I never knew what the shared bathroom situation was actually like

@KickinTheBucket-List 5 лет назад

Quack you need some flip flops for public showers!!!

@Gilbertory 4 года назад

True, but they could have provided that. Maybe a dollar at Dollar store?

@electricvoodoobabe 5 лет назад

I love the videos on this channel! I love staying in hostels, but you really have to do your research on what kind of hostel you are getting into, lol. I'm looking into staying at a hotel like this when I go to San Francisco next year.

@johnjohnfrederickh.webber2124 Год назад

I'm glad there's a capsule hotel in NYC..💯

@liltruchita 4 года назад

Awww your phone wallpaper! Soo cute!

@livelaughlovelifexox 5 лет назад

I love how in-depth this was! I’ve never stayed at the pod hotels before but I’ll be checking them out when I’m back in the city, however I feel as though it was fairly expensive for the night. Have you ever used the app hotel tonight? I’m usually able to find luxury hotel rooms for around $130 a night or less depending on the night, you should check it out next time you’re staying!

@magnum.4490 3 года назад

Awesome video and thanks for sharing ! FYI - That "little blanket" at the end of the bed is for you to be able to put your feet on the bed with your shoes on. It keeps the dirt off the bed and why stores that sell beds have them on all the beds. It doesn't work well as a blanket or comforter as you discovered

@saraelizabeth4523 5 лет назад

Love Pod Hotels! I stay there every time I go to NYC! Side note: not sure about Pod 51 but at 39 and Times Square, things are little newer and bigger and you have the option to have your own bathroom.

@Gilbertory 4 года назад

Wow! That's like midtown right? Similar pricing? What is the name?

@akoc18 5 лет назад

my dorm has much smaller rooms and I have to share it, this is great.

@ShivaanshPrasann Год назад

I stayed at this exact hotel in the exact same room type and it was an awesome experience!

@wellFthisS 5 лет назад

I love these videos! I would definitely stay there, it looks like a San Diego hostel that my husband works at but with better security & more privacy.

@VampireGirl1294 4 года назад

I stayed in a hotel like this in Los Angeles I definitely wasn’t used to it but it was really cool! I did notice a lot of people from different countries too. It has shared bathrooms and same style as this hotel. I love them 😊

@ReadObituaries 5 лет назад

I had no clue this second channel existed... I’m so glad I found it. I was starting to miss the *raw* you’

@Rachel-kx1ns 5 лет назад

you should check out the NY Moore hostel! I had a super comfortable stay there - definitely felt safe and secure - plus it's so close to heaps of vegan places (Champs Diner, Dun-Well Donuts, a vegan coffee/chocolate shop and heaps more) and it's close to both the L and J subway lines

@Gilbertory 4 года назад

🤔That is in Brooklyn NY. Like 45 minutes away by train to midtown Manhattan .

@floralendurance 5 лет назад

I live in the city and been curious to go to the one in Brooklyn. Nice to see your perspective

@LaDeParDee 5 лет назад

I highly recommend the one in Brooklyn, stayed there when I went to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductions at Barclays, the only warning if you don't look at pictures like my shocked friend is that the bathrooms there (at least for the bunks) have "RV style" toilets or wet rooms meaning the toilet is inside the shower lol

@courtniebri 5 лет назад

Love videos like this from you. 🙂

@prettyflytraveler Год назад

Many many many years ago I stayed there when it was called the Pickwick Hotel. Looks like they upgraded everything EXCEPT those phones. That’s crazy! The room was very cozy and it had a shared bathroom connected to the room next door with additional private bathrooms in the hallway. I might stay there again for old times sake and the price was OK but I was able to get a private room at the Hilton Garden Inn for about what you paid for the Pod.

@corinnehall8348 5 лет назад

Just got back from nyc today and stayed in A Pod, in Williamsburg. Stayed in the queen size (traveling with my husband). About the same layout , but we had a bathroom in our room, with a shower above the toilet. Pretty cool layout. Enjoyed the hotel , not a lot of room in the rooms but plenty of roof gardens , lounge nooks on each floor . Also in Williamsburg awesome bars and cafes with in one block . 🖤

@corinnehall8348 5 лет назад

One complaint (kinda) no fridge for my leftovers

@kat-ly6pd 3 года назад

I stayed at both pod51 and also the one in Williamsburg and you can request a fridge in your room prior to your arrival! It does take up some extra space in the little rooms but we absolutely enjoyed our little fridge for cold drinks and snacks or leftovers 😊

@klaudiapiasecka2332 5 лет назад

What's up with that safe? The door takes up like half of that already tiny space.

@paula92111 5 лет назад

This is so neat!

@voxtur7465 5 лет назад

Also how do you get info on RU-vid events? Are they invitation only?

@myriampierre6299 4 года назад

You can get anti bacterial wipes and gloves. For the Roman get very hot water cover and let it steam

@DeanL94. 3 года назад

Great video 👏

@bepald-wilpums 5 лет назад

Love this kind of video and I feel like I would stay here. Also, unrelated, but a video on tips you would give to people starting out their vegan/meatless journey would be so cool. Like things you wish you had known?

@gracecaternolo1266 5 лет назад

I loved this video

@forcom5 4 года назад

Ay! It’s my favorite hotel! I’ve never found a better value. There’s a bar down the corner of the street that's a real nice spot - Cornerstone Tavern - highly recommend it.

@FrancescaPessarelli 5 лет назад

I've stayed at Pod! it's really great for the price point i think.

@lalilulelo 2 года назад

The room is perfect for a solo traveler like me. :)

@brandijohnson1326 4 года назад

I want to visit nyc one of these days now they have these affordable capsule hotels I can dig those.

@cedricbottom2932 4 года назад

Really brilliant video I would be happy there

@katkaplan3 5 лет назад

Good video- I’ve seen that place when I’ve been in nyc, wondered what it looked like. But for that price I can stay at my fave hotel- indigo - on the lower east side where I stay when I go up. It’s fab, and sharing bathroom- nope. Not ever gonna happen.

@Leslyisaunicorn 5 лет назад

I’m pretty sure that “blanket” is to put your suitcase so the bed doesn’t get dirty while you unpacked

@kristavaillancourt6313 5 лет назад

I probably would try to find a cheaper place if I were going to new york for a week or so, but for a night it's right.

@Qckndlife 5 лет назад

Yes! New York is tricky because of their hotel taxes...it was easier to shop around for prices when I stayed in DC

@melodymcminn4107 2 года назад

We can get a double queen bed here in Texas for 70.00 a night with breakfast and coffee in our rooms. California sucks?

@boniccon1912 4 года назад

I like your review of the hotel

@lilj705 5 лет назад

are the courses they offer similar to college classes?

@metromelody18 4 года назад

Cold room nice 👍 I’m good with that

@VersastyleV25 4 года назад

I am going to this hotel next week and will do my own review of this hotel as well on my youtube page. What room did you get? I picked the Queen Pod

@edgarpal799 5 лет назад

You was in NYC 😱 damn... I really would’ve want to meet up in a meet and greet or other events 😭

@Qckndlife 5 лет назад

I'm hoping to better organize another meet and greet at Philadelphia Tattoo Convention next year if there's enough of an interest!

@thiscorrosion900 4 года назад

Soundproofing seems decent-I hate shared bathrooms, tho.

@chrissygerwitz520 3 года назад

That "little piece of quilt" was most likely a strip to protect your bed when you put your suitcase/bag on it. It is not meant as something to sleep under.

@mepooloo 4 года назад

A phone from the 70s? that's 2000' for me !

@futuredeath 4 года назад

I live in NY and that price seems crazy high. Even when I went to Hong Kong island I had a full luxury hotel it was cheaper. NY is too expensive man.

@sashaconrad3939 2 года назад

I would stay there but I’d pay for the option to have a bathroom in the room.

@samuelbostic5640 4 года назад

This is nicer than my bedroom

@elliottcorbin9522 4 года назад

I wish that PODs were everywhere in America, I would never stay anywhere else! Most hotels are too expensive for me, and I was completely comfortable with the small size of my college dorm room (I could live in a junior 1 bedroom of below 300 square feet for life and be happy).

@jaheriawilson19 5 лет назад

i had no idea that there were capsule hotels in the US

@Gilbertory 4 года назад

Especially in Manhattan 🤔

@biancajingles2690 5 лет назад

I’m sorry your ramen wasn’t that great! There’s a ramen shop by me that has an entire vegan menu and man their ramen is the best I’ve ever had! I wish I could send you some lol

@a19spyro95 4 года назад

Is $89 cheep for a new york hotel? or are you paying for an experience?

@StukInBuf 3 года назад

$159 a night for a capsule room in NYC? That's about 5 or 6 nights at a good capsule hotel in Saigon.

@BestArtist 4 года назад

I'd be disappointed if I booked a room at a place calling itself a pod hotel and got this room. Especially considering you could get a regular hotel room for that price.

@atomstarfireproductions8695 4 года назад

I wouldn’t really call this a capsule, just a compact hotel room. At least you get a private room, space for your luggage, and there’s a desk.

@guycd1 5 лет назад

wow thats awfully expensive for what you got. You can get a full standard hotel room with two beds here for $160 a night.

@Gilbertory 4 года назад

In Manhattan?

@mitchybee8258 4 года назад

Slow down on the 70’s phone comment. Cell phone only picked up in the 90’s. That phone is not that old. Lolol

What was it called? That’s a great price for NYC.

@kymberlyheldreth3455 5 лет назад

It's in the video. Pod 51.

@DennisJohnsonDrummer 3 года назад

When I heard the word "capsule" I think Nyquil- NOT a place where I might sleep. Talk about claustrophobia! Maybe if I was dead tired, but otherwise...maybe not. Nice to see but just not for me.
