Hotel Details

Location

Pod Brooklyn sits in the center of Williamsburg, one block from the Bedford Avenue L train stop and a short walk from the East River Ferry.
The hotel is within walking distance of the Music Hall of Williamsburg, Brooklyn Bowl, and Domino Park. The Bedford L train stop is approximately 300 meters away, providing a 10-minute ride to Union Square in Manhattan. The East River Ferry terminal is a 15-minute walk, offering a 20-minute crossing to Midtown or the Financial District. For cyclists, the Williamsburg Bridge bike lane connects to the Lower East Side (about 3 km). LaGuardia (LGA) is 14 km away (40 minutes by car), JFK is 18 km (30 minutes without traffic via AirTrain and L train), and Newark (EWR) is 29 km (60 minutes by car; taxi around $100). Parking is available in the adjacent Little Man Parking garage or on nearby residential streets (free but read signage). The hotel's location is on a lively block with many restaurants, cafes, and shops, and the neighborhood feels safe and walkable at night.

Accommodation

The hotel offers 249 compact, pod-style rooms with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and personal climate control.
Standard rooms (Bunk Pod, Queen Pod) are approximately 10 m². Bunk Pods contain two twin bunk beds, each with its own TV and charging ports; ideal for solo travelers or two sharing. Queen Pods feature one queen bed and a frosted-glass wet-bath with shower and toilet combined. Queen Pod+ rooms offer more space at 19 m² with a separate toilet and shower. ADA-accessible Queen Pods also measure 19 m². Mini Suites (approx. 28 m²) sleep up to four with a queen bed, twin bunk bed, two TVs, and a desk. All rooms have private bathrooms with a rain showerhead, hairdryer, free toiletries, laptop-sized safe, and air conditioning. Some rooms overlook the courtyard; some face the street where you may notice noise from HVAC units or nearby bars. Rooms in the garden-facing section tend to be quieter. Under-bed storage is available, and extra luggage can be kept in the bell closet. Balconies are not available.

Dining

On-site dining is limited; guests receive a 10% discount at The Butcher's Daughter, located next door.
The hotel does not offer a full breakfast service. Complimentary self-serve coffee and tea are available in the lobby or mezzanine from 7:00 to 11:00 daily. The on-site restaurant, Clinton Hall, serves full breakfast, lunch, dinner, and appetizers year-round, along with craft beers and shareable plates. A seasonal rooftop beer garden (Slate Rooftop) offers shareable food, pizza, and drink options, typically open May through October. The lobby bar serves light bites, beer, and custom cocktails throughout the day. Café Landwer (Mediterranean cuisine) is located on the ground floor. For breakfast, guests can walk to The Butcher's Daughter for a 10% discount, or to numerous nearby cafes and bakeries. A fridge and microwave can be placed in rooms on request at no charge.

Wellness and Leisure

Wellness options include free bicycle rentals, seasonal rooftop fitness classes, and free guided walking tours of NYC.
Complimentary bicycle and helmet rentals are available for exploring Williamsburg and crossing the Williamsburg Bridge into Lower Manhattan. The hotel offers free daily walking tours departing from its Midtown Manhattan sister properties (Pod 51 and Pod Times Square), covering neighborhoods like Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Central Park, and DUMBO. Seasonal PodFit classes are held on the rooftop or in the courtyard gardens. Yoga classes are available. The rooftop garden and bar provide skyline views and are open seasonally. No pool, spa, hot tub, or jacuzzi are on-site. The shared mezzanine lounge is a bright space with seating, outlets, and games, suitable for relaxing or working. The hotel also provides free umbrella rental.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room facing the courtyard or garden for a quieter stay, as rooms near elevators or main roads can pick up noise from the elevator ping, HVAC units, or street bustle.

  • 02

    Book a Queen Pod+ or Mini Suite if you need extra floor space; standard Queen and Bunk Pods are around 10 m² and better suited for solo travelers or very short stays.

  • 03

    Factor in the daily $22.95-$30 facility fee and a $30 per night security deposit when comparing the total cost; these fees are not always obvious in the base rate.

  • 04

    Use the complimentary luggage storage before check-in or after check-out to explore the neighborhood without dragging bags around.
