Hotel Mela New York

We arrived just before 3 pm but our room was ready and in fact they had upgraded us to a 2-twin bed room as I was travelling with my daughter, who is a university student. The room was lovely, clean and comfortable. The bathroom was spotless and had everything we needed. Free Wi-fi and we were just a 2-min walk to Times Square. Our return flight was a late one but there was no problem leaving our bags secure with the concierge. I would recommend this hotel without hesitation and strongly consider staying again on a return trip.

Nice Place, Convenient Location, Very appealing interiors and overall a very comfortable and convenient place to stay

Check in was easy. The location is 2 blocks off Times square. Close to Union Station, 5th & 6th Avenues. There are many excellent restaurants nearby! Nice hotel with a great staff!

4 nights. beds comfortable. room rather small but sufficed. could have used a few more towels but forgot to ask. best location. can recommend.

Hotel Mela is a nice hotel, but not so fantastic I'd write home about it. Location is perfect, less than one block from the heart of Time Square, one block from the subway and a short walk to Rockefeller. Our room was probably the smallest room I've had in a while, but that's what could be expected in NY; it was orderly and clean. Upon first entry into the room, it smelled like mothballs but that dissipated with time. About halfway through the stay, a different smell began coming from the AC unit (mildew, almost a urine smell) but it dissipated as well when I left the fan on in the AC unit. Overall, everything functioned well in the room, staff was attentive and it was a great location. And really, on a trip to NYC, how long do you expect to spend inside your hotel room.

Stayed here on business but had to visit starbucks for internet. Lame.

The hotel was great. Great location, clean and friendly staff. The room is small but just big enough for the purposes of sleeping and hanging out in between going back and forth to Time Square to have fun.

The Hotel Mela was great ! Location, location, best seats in town. The beds are very comfortable, the rooms clean. We would stay there again. And friendly staff : )

Great location. Rooms and lobby are small (aka boutique) but look good. Everything works, and the staff is good. Problem? The standard single room has space for a chair at the least and maybe a small desk, but has neither. The bed is the only place to sit. Better values a few blocks away.

very good service. catered to all my needs and requests.

The location of the hotel was fantastic. We were in the heart of Times Square. This allowed us to explore Manhattan to its fullest. We caught a :roadway show, went to Central Park, took a bus and boat tour,and ate at fabulous restaurants. The room was small but clean and well decorated. The staff was friendly as well.

I went on a business training week. The room was very clean. Free internet! Room has a safe big plus for electronics. Hotel is 2 minute walk from Duffy square and Broadway! Small elevators could not fit more than 6 people without any bags. Had to call every time I wanted ice which usually take 5-10 minutes to get there but one night I called at 9:30pm and never got my ice called again 15 minutes later and range six times before someone answered and was put on hold for over a minute before I hung up and I called again 5 minutes latter and rang 10 time before I gave up. So if you get ice get it before 9pm. And my key stopped working on my last night. Which I went downstairs and got fixed no problem. But for paying $300+ a night I was expecting not to have any problems with my stay.

I took my daughter to NYC for her 18th birthday and we had a great time. The Hotel Mela was a great place to stay. It was clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and it was close to all the action without being in the midst of it all.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Mela while on a long weekend trip to NYC. Location was great(less than a block from the heart of Times Square). While there we took in a show, which we were able to walk to, saw a Yankees game, and explored the city. Room was ample in size and very clean. Staff was very friendly and accomodating.

This hotel is located very close to Times Square and the theater district, but is set back, and very quiet. The staff was very helpful and pleasant.

We were looking for a terrific location so we could walk to shows, walk to shopping, walk to good eating, etc. This was it! Friendly, helpful staff. Very tiny room, but we did ask for a king sized bed and got it. It doesn't have a restaurant but there are nice restaurants next door and across the street. There was no view from our window, but we weren't there to spend five days in the room, anyway.

For a few days visit, the location, cleanliness, and courtesy of staff were very good. The room was small but clean, comfortable and bright. For the tourist, it is centrally located yet quiet.

Even though we started off opening a door to a room that had 2 twin beds when I requested a Queen the front dest was notified immediately, and we were given a much bigger room that had a separate living area. Although my husband and I only stayed there 2 nights, I'd have to say we both didn't have any complaints. Location was key also, we were literally just 1 block away from times square which was amazing and we felt like we were almost in the center of most areas. The other great thing was the front desk was nice enough to give us a room high enough to stay away from the outside noise. They had comfortable beds which was a bonus. We would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful location. Newly refurbished room with tasteful furnishings. Room was small as is the norm in New York but had everything that was needed for a very comfortable stay. Would stay there again without hesitation.

Hotel was very clean and charming and the staff very friendly and attentive. However, the rooms were quite small without any clothing hooks or luggage racks. A small armoire was not ample enough to store garments and coats for us. Bathrooms were very clean but hot water in shower was warm at best and no place to hang towels or robes. But as for location, it it right in the heart of the Times Square/Theatre District and close to subways and buses which make it very easy to navigate the city. Consierge desk could not have been more helpful.
