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

[@dyran]

'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]

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

[@moongirl1361]

“Hmmm here’s my... napkin.” 😂

[@missrachelk81]

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

[@marenadavenport2121]

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!

[@VARITHMS]

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.

[@inu099]

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

[@Nicole-tg5vy]

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

[@williamorensky4785]

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

[@Gilbertory]

Yes

[@ATrainTravels]

Looks good!

[@lalahaha8508]

??? 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

[@courtneymanning8770]

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

[@lala9259]

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]

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

[@shawnstone666]

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

[@jessicazombie1106]

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

[@talindsa]

Mama Quack serving us all the diversified content!

[@HR-wd6cw]

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.

[@juleshenry6398]

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

[@Qckndlife]

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

[@mirandac453]

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

[@saraelizabeth4523]

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]

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

[@drea3348]

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

[@leahhberg]

Yay! New mama quack video 🚨💥🚨

[@myprincessbunny]

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

[@prettyflytraveler]

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.

[@Annie-of3ze]

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

[@magnum.4490]

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

[@SchDari]

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

[@corinnehall8348]

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]

One complaint (kinda) no fridge for my leftovers

[@kat-ly6pd]

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 😊

[@myriampierre6299]

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

[@johnjohnfrederickh.webber2124]

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

[@KickinTheBucket-List]

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

[@Gilbertory]

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

[@klaudiapiasecka2332]

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

[@akoc18]

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

[@Rachel-kx1ns]

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]

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

[@Leslyisaunicorn]

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

[@kaitlinmarcilionis9018]

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]

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

[@sashaconrad3939]

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

[@chrissygerwitz520]

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.

[@livelaughlovelifexox]

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!

[@melodymcminn4107]

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

[@ShivaanshPrasann]

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

[@floralendurance]

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

[@LaDeParDee]

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

[@Chilli2pt0]

Great video quality! Very informative. Thanks

[@thiscorrosion900]

Soundproofing seems decent-I hate shared bathrooms, tho.

[@kristavaillancourt6313]

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]

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

[@gerbertperson]

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

[@brandijohnson1326]

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

[@VersastyleV25]

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

[@forcom5]

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.

[@wellFthisS]

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]

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 😊

[@liltruchita]

Awww your phone wallpaper! Soo cute!

[@voxtur7465]

Also how do you get info on KZbin events? Are they invitation only?

[@metromelody18]

Cold room nice 👍 I’m good with that

[@ReadObituaries]

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

[@lalilulelo]

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

[@jaheriawilson19]

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

[@Gilbertory]

Especially in Manhattan 🤔

[@lilj705]

are the courses they offer similar to college classes?

[@DeanL94.]

Great video 👏

[@edgarpal799]

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

[@Qckndlife]

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

[@boniccon1912]

I like your review of the hotel

[@FrancescaPessarelli]

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

[@bepald-wilpums]

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?

[@katkaplan3]

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.

[@elliottcorbin9522]

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).

[@a19spyro95]

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

[@lyriclanguages3780]

It's cheap for NYC lol

[@samuelbostic5640]

This is nicer than my bedroom

[@futuredeath]

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.

[@courtniebri]

Love videos like this from you. 🙂

[@mepooloo]

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

[@StukInBuf]

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

[@cedricbottom2932]

Really brilliant video I would be happy there

[@gracecaternolo1266]

I loved this video

[@paula92111]

This is so neat!

[@moinsonofindia5836]

Hi how r you? I want to visit

[@BestArtist]

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]

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]

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]

In Manhattan?

[@moriah93]

That phone was tragic

[@boniccon1912]

Night is best in the NYC

[@PostalPatriot556]

I wouldn’t call that a capsule

[@voxtur7465]

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

[@kymberlyheldreth3455]

It's in the video. Pod 51.

[@biancajingles2690]

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

[@emery_2963]

Ok not to be rude but that is not a real capsule hotel

[@ms.fortunate]

That phone is so not from the seventies but love a good hyperbole

[@scrappytracy5557]

This does not seem like a good deal to me. I have stayed in NYC in an actual hotel room or a hostel for less than this.

[@emilaslan8452]

price?

[@jessicazombie1106]

She showed it on her pc. It was on the calendar.

[@cccray_xxx8510]

Me sees theres capsule hotels in the usa: Yay there are capsule hotels in the usa! Me sees nyc: NUUUUU I LIVE IN OHIO :(

[@mitchybee8258]

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

[@thembaa10xaba36]

Love you.

[@neyrecords487]

Looks more like a tiny room not a real capsule hotel japanese style.

[@HiHi-yq2rm]

𝐈𝐦 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 😂

[@simongray3314]

Congratulations. For that price you could have bought a actual hotel room for 2 hours, because New York is expensive as hell.

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

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.

[@xiomarademarchi548]

TOTORO

[@noel.1025]

my dood needs to learn how to use the focus lol

[@rofflesufunny]

def not a pod hotel

[@bulletantwrestling8947]

Looks like uni accommodation 😂

[@Alexandra-ng1ih]

When you cut to the bathroom part I had a look of disgust the whole time, I hope you didn’t get foot fungus. I cannot imagine sharing a bathroom with someone I don’t know, think about all the fungus, STDs, or other health problems they could have. Honestly makes me sick and that would be a dealbreaker for sure

[@awsinger1]

you can’t catch an std from a bathroom 🥱

[@kyrieirving175]

You need to get new shoes mane

[@chihuahuamartin24]

Bedbugs? 😳🐜🕷🦟

[@moinsonofindia5836]

Nyc

[@aprillockabyradford3679]

Those shoes looked so gross

[@rofflesufunny]

holy hebrew
