"In big cities, capsule hotels (where you sleep in a small pod) have the advantage of being both affordable and convenient, especially for travelers who only need a place to sleep before heading into the city. They're often just big enough to fit a bed, though some luxury capsule hotels around the world offer a little more space, accommodating a side table or even a balcony."
"Its pods come with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and private bathrooms, plus the building has a rooftop lounge and on-site Italian restaurant - all in the heart of Manhattan, a mere eight-minute walk from Grand Central Station. For the average standard-style hotel room in this area of the city, you can typically expect to pay around $200 or more a night."
Capsule hotels provide compact, budget-friendly lodging options in dense urban areas, often sized just to fit a bed while some luxury variants include extra features like side tables or balconies. In New York City, high living costs make reduced accommodation expenses valuable for travelers. Pod 39, opened in 2012 by the Pod Hotels group, offers pods with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and private bathrooms, alongside a rooftop lounge and on-site Italian restaurant, located near Grand Central. Pod Hotels operates several Manhattan locations, including Times Square. Single pods at Pod 39 run around $130 per night, with two-person pods remaining under $200.
