Small place with small dowsides
Pros:

Excellent location and neighbourhood: few minutes walking to the metro, plenty shops and cafes around. Hotel collaborates with some of them, and Pod guests receive a sizeable discount.
Clean, comfortable enough rooms.
Nice inner gardens on the property.
Very pleasant staff.
Hotel offers free Brooklyn tours snd taxi service.
TV, wifi in rooms.

Cons:

Very small, literally pod or carriage like, rooms.
Sometimes it get very loud outside and you can hear it very well.
No fridge in the room, but there is little space, so I get it.
For the same reason- toilet is located in your shower. Not the biggest deal, but if you are like me, you will visit it in socks, will soak them and will regret it.
The price for such a small room is high. But I guess, it’s never cheap in NY.

Pros:

המלון ממש מגניב. המיקום והאווירה, כולל המסעדה הצמודה. הצוות אדיב ועוזר. אני רוצה לציין את Mehdi וגם את שאר החבר'ה שששים לעזור. מקום מאד חברותי ונוח. העיצוב והשירותים ממש טובים ויש המלצות לאטרקציות בניויורק, כולל הנחות. ניתן גם להשאיר תיקים לשמירה במקום, במידה ויוצאים ליום יומיים. מאד נקי ושקט. השכונה מאד צעירה והווייב שם ממש צעיר ושוקק ונמצא בלב העניינים. אבל שומר על שקט ופרטיות מאידך. ממליץ בחום על המלון הזה

Cons:

כלום!!

Great area to stay and easy access to transportation
Pros:

Great location. Easy access to public transit. Walkable to music venue that I planned to visit. Easy to get to Manhattan. I knew the set up was a micro style room and was expecting it to be like the sleeper train. It was more comfortable than I expected. Staff was very responsive to an issue with room and hospitable. Great restaurant on site and in walking distance. The neighborhood has a calmer vibe than neighboring Manhattan.

Cons:

The comforter was a bit dingey.
