Charming

Charming little boutique hotel. Perfect location (great restaurants and threaters on the same street). Has everything you need. If you book online, make sure you don't double pay.

good location

hotel location was great, close to a metro station. was not sure about the room cleanliness...noticed the carpet was not vacummed (or not well?), for some reason there was no hot water in the mornings so had to take my shower at night...one night i ordered room service and when i asked the staff if tip was included in the bill he said 'no' but it was...TV reception was spotty and until mid-night or so there was this loud generator sound that was hard to ignore. On my next travel to NYC not sure i'll choose this hotel.

Almost 5 stars but

The hotel has a great location, on a bustling street. The interior is chic and stylish. The room was surprisingly roomy and nicely decorated, it also has a FULLY stocked mini bar that includes an "intimacy kit"! The one negative thing was the phone was not working properly. In order to reach the front desk for anything, I had to use my cell phone

I Would Stay There Again

The staff was excellent & helpful. The suite was great & included a cappuccino maker. Awesome location right in Time Square. Our New York friends joked that the bathroom was the biggest in New York. The Hotel Mela could use bigger signs but other than that it was perfect.

Wonderful three day getaway

My boyfriend and I stayed two nights at Hotel Mela and LOVED it! We will definitely stay there again! The location was absolutely perfect - practically right in the heart of Times Square. Staff was very nice and helpful. The room itself was not as small as I was expecting for a hotel in NYC. Very clean and classy. Definitely a great value!

Excellent location and value

We were pleasantly surprised. The hotel was well kept, clean and seemed to have been recently renovated. Our room was a basic queen bed room, there was only room for the bed and an armour. The bathroom was average size. For the two of us, it was just fine, we didn't expect a large room, and we only came back to the room at night to sleep. The room and bathroom were kept very clean and housekeeping was excellent. Location could'nt get any better, take a left out the main lobby and your right in the heart of Times Square. For us, the value of the trip and location was perfect. We would definitly go back to this hotel.

In the Heart of Times Square

Our room was tiny, barely enough room for the bed and a small armoire. However, that is one of the only negative things I can say about this hotel, and how much room can you really expect at a hotel in NYC? The room was immaculate, the lobby and halls were always clean and well-kept. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. This hotel was a 1/2 block from the heart of Times Square, but it never sounded like it while trying to sleep at night. I would definitely stay here again when coming back to NYC.
