Several guidebooks mentioned the Pickwick Arms as a great budget hotel, so we decided to give it a try. We ended up being sorely disappointed. First of all, we had to wait to be checked in because the staff were busy dealing with an unsavory character who apparently walked in off the street and was being very belligerent. That gave us an uneasy ...

Me and my husband arrived in the NYC expecting great service and most importantly a bigger bed and room. Fist off we booked for a queen bed and they gave us a DOUBLE BED! I haven't seen a double since I was like 9 years old. You mean to tell me that a Husband and Wife are supposed to sleep in seperate beds? Not only was the service horriable ...

I could hear doors slamming in the hallway, TVs and voices in other rooms. The double-bed room was very small, approximately 8x12 ft, plus a small toilet area & shower.

Be prepared for TINY quarters. Booked a double bed and got 2 singles shoved together in a room no bigger than the bed. Small sink behind the door and closet not big enough for our luggage. Sheets had not been changed. Could touch the walls with arms outstretched. Went for cheap and that's what we got. Location is excellent though is you're ...

Given the good price and the central location, the rooms are awful. I've never seen such a small room: there was barely space for the bed and when sitting on the toilet you couldn't comfortably place your feet.
The service is poor and the staff was not professional at all.

Efficient Rooms - small but work really well. Think of a modern dorm room and a cost effective NYC price. If you are looking for a roomie and gracious hotel room - not your scene at The Pod. The location is beyond wonderful and quiet street in Midtown. The truly HUGE downfall is the standoffish and very unhelpful staff. It has not been an ...

CANT WAIT TO STAY AT THE PICKWICK ARMS NEXT TIME WE VISIT NEW YORK. THE PLACE IS IN SUCH A GREAT LOCATION. YOU CAN ACTUALLY WALK TO CENTRAL PARK, THE THEATER DISTRICT, SHOPPING ON FIFTH AVE, THERES A NAIL SALON RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET. THE BEDS WERE CLEAN, EUROPEAN STYLE ROOM. BUT GOOD ENOUGH IF DONT PLAN ON STAYING IN YOUR ROOM. THE STAFF ...

I was in Manhattan for 4 days and I got the deal of a lifetime. The hotel was more than I expected, what a deal. I got a clean and tidy room with all I needed for the little time I spent in the room, after all I did not go to New York to sleep. Hotel is easy to get to and lots of action all around it, and 5 minutes from 5th Ave on the bus. I will ...

If you're like me, you wait till the last minute. I must say it is for a young crowd only. Im a college student and everytime I fly up to NY, I stay there because the location is impecable. You are literally walking distance from Rockafellar Plaza, Time Square, 5th Avenue, etc. I am a fan of their prices and location. But think Dorm'. Thin ...
