Great Vacation for the husband and me!

Love the location, that's why we go back to this hotel every time we visit nyc. Very clean, comfortable. I will always book this hotel every time we visit the city! Never brought the kids here, not sure if this is the best hotel at being kid-friendly, but love staying here with just me and the husband!

Stayed 4 times, will come bace for a 5th

The staff....extraoridinary. Jonathan, Anna, JP, Jed, Rose, Arturo - Nobody does it better. Next year will be our fifth year in a row. So convenient, small rooms but well appointed and comfortable. Service above and beyond. I will never stay in a chain again. Whether we went to the Opera, the Village, The Cloisters or Brooklyn, the location makes it easy to access transportation. Try the Passion Fruit Sorbet next door ....hmmm,hmmm good!

Cool Boutique, even Cooler Location!

The staff were exceptional, before during and after the stay. The rooms were generous, great value and very clean. The location couldn't have been better, 2 mins from Times Squares, with bars and cafes to suit all tastes. Thanks to John, John Paul and Danny for all your help!!

Ideal Location

Hotel Mela is definitely a must when travelling to New York, not only are you less than a 5 minute walk to Times Square,it is also in walking distance of 5th Ave too. The rooms are spotless and so comfortable, home from home. Highly recommend people to stay in this hotel.

Great location. Great service.

The location was perfect and the customer service provided by the staff was excellent. While my room was small it was clean and comfortable. The only complaint I had was the wi-fi was extremely slow (was only important because I was on a business trip). Overall my experience was fantastic and I would definitely stay here again.

Hotel Mela

My wife and I spent Valentines day there. The first room was too small with no view. The staff was excellent in getting us another room ( larger but with a smaller bed ) It wasn't a bad stay, but for the price we paid, I expected better rooms. Finally we were not expecting the deal to we got to be a per person deal. We could've stayed at another midtown hotel for the same price with a better room and better view.

First time in New York

A hotel room could not get any smaller than this, but nothing can beat the location. The staff was great. They were very helpful. And I can see myself returning to the hotel again on my next visit. Breakfast is part of the room service but it makes more sense to go downstairs next door to the bistro where the breakfast comes from. It will save you 30 percent off of your bill.
