Hotel Mela - New York 40.75642, -73.98374

Everyone at the hotel is very friendly. The location is perfect. Times Square is just down the street, a minute away from the hotel. We walked to all of the locations we needed to Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, 5th Ave., Dylan's, Serendpity. We used the subway (located at Times Square) twice to go to Battery Park and to meet with our friends. The room was small, but that was expected, clean, and comfortable. Would stay there again when we go back

Don't tell too many people about this...it is a gem.

We reserved a deluxe room and were "bumped" to an executive room which was bigger. I didn't actually see the deluxe room to compare, but the executive room was a great size for the price we paid. It was decorated nicely and the room smelled fresh and clean when we walked in. The bed was very, very comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic. Can't beat the location if you are seeing a show. We had breakfast at the adjoining restaurant. The service was great, the food was pricey and not anything to speak of. I would suggest venuring elsewhere for breakfast.

The room was very clean but very small. The little room we had was filled with stuff they were trying to sell you for rip off prices. We had no place to put our stuff and they even had there stuff blocking the TV with no place to put it out of the way.

My view was of an alley. Not so pretty. It was however, super clean and very nicely decorated. Also the staff was great. Considering the cost and how much time I actually spent in the room the view wasn't a big deal.

Small hotel with small rooms but the staff are really great and I have been able to check in really early on all my stays which makes a difference when coming in on a redeye from the West Coast. Book an executive room if you can for a bit more room.

Hotel Mela is close to broadway and subway. Very great location. Room is quite small. But it's clean. Good price for the location.

the hotel location is the best in city. Close to everything but nor in the middle of it. Sooo great to sleep at night

Second stay with Hotel Mela, and it's always great!

This hotel was in a great location, right next to time square, and was beautiful on the inside. The room was comfy and welcoming as well as pristinely clean. The staff was also unbelievably helpful and courteous. I would definately recommend this hotel for visitors to NYC.

Great room in a good location.

The hotel has a convenient location to Times Square and Broadway shows. The hotel staff were helpful and the room was clean. However, the hotel has no lobby to speak of and the elevators are tiny, holding at most five people. The rooms are small as are the bathrooms. Our bathroom shower only had one shower door, and despite all of our efforts, a lot of water went onto the bathroom floor. I have stayed at a number of New York Hotels and unfortunately this hotel would be at the bottom of the list.

This was our second stay at Hotel Mela. We like the place because of its location and for NYC, the price is great. As a caution to those who hate small spaces, there are 3 elevators, 2 of which are really tiny and the 3rd is average but usually unavailable.

The hotel is in a good location and the staff was helpful. However, if you are looking for a fancy lobby forget it. The lobby is almost non-existent. Also, the elevators are very tiny and hold at the most four people at a time. The rooms are clean but small. The shower had only one door. I guess this is supposed to be a quaint feature. Overall, I believe you can find better deals elsewhere.

This hotel was perfect for our two night stay in New York. Every employee that we encountered was extremely polite and more than willing to help us with all our needs. They even gave us a complimentary room upgrade upon arrival. The room itself was very clean and I, myself, am a harsh judge of clean. I had no problem with the size of the room either. Hotel Mela was within walking distance of pretty much everything and when we wanted to go to Little Italy for dinner, they found a driver with a set rate for us who was absolutely wonderful. I will recommend this hotel to anyone going on a trip to New York and am looking forward to going back there again in the future.

The room is not boutique but neither is it shlumpy. Small room with too many items for sale in it.. Very clean but carts were lined up outsid our room on several occasions. Very friendly and helpful with their guests. Lose the cabinet at the end of the bed- Great bathroom.

This was our first time staying at The Hotel Mela, and we couldn't have been more pleased. First of all, the location couldn't be beat, especially if you are going to a play. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet. The staff at the front desk was very professional and accomodating. We ate dinner at The Osteria al Doge a couple doors down, and the food was to die for. After our show we had a nice glass of wine at the on-premise bistro. All in all, a great place for a romantic getaway.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone. My wife and I are very picky about cleanliness and surrounding areas around the hotel. This hotel was amazing and the price was the best around.

Great location a few blocks from Bryant Park and Times Square, friendly staff, stylish decor. Room with double bed was tiny but efficiently designed. Bed was comfortable, room decor was modern and pleasant, bathroom was small but just fine. By mid-town NYC standards, rate was very reasonable. I would definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed the hotel. You couldn't ask for a better location. Everything was clean. The staff was very helpful.

We spent 3 nights at Hotel Mela and found the staff to be friendly, the location - just off Times Square - was excellent, and the room was fine for our needs. It was small but not so small you couldn't give a cat a whirl! Overall we were happy with our choice.

Great location, and very friendly/helpful staff. Check-in/out was a breeze and the front desk was more than happy to hold our bags for a few hours after check-out. Minor complaints include: faulty thermostat and/or AC unit (the room was very warm and impossible to remedy) and the towels were crappy (they shed a lot and weren't absorbent). Other than those minor quips, the room was great. We'd stay there again if the price was right.

Great location! Right next to Times Square and Broadway. Hotel staff very polite. We arrived earlier than expected but they helped us accomodate our luggage until our room was ready.

outstanding, will go back to stay on my next visit to NYC

The location is right in the heart of everything!! The interior design of the room was sleek and very European. I felt like I was back in Barcelona with the way the bathroom was designed. The bed!! I get sleep thinking about how comfortable it was. I love the music in the lobby; very Euro club. It was played at a nice volume not too loud. The design of the lobby is very chic. The room was small but that is keeping with many in Europe. I enjoyed my stay and look forward to another very soon.

The hotel is located close to Broadway but yet far away to keep noise down. Room was modern and clean but a bit cramped. Limited space for 2 suitcases.

I've stayed here before so I knew the regular rooms were small, that's why I upgraded. It didn't make any difference! I'm not sure what the added money I paid got me. Still, it's in a great location, clean and tidy.

Wonderful little gem of a hotel blocks from Times Square. The room was tiny, and pretty much all I needed. Free WiFi was very helpful, the only thing I would have liked would have been a small desk.

The place is beautifully decorated, and even though the rooms are small, they have everything you want.

Hotel Mela was outstanding in service and location! The rooms were small, but hey - it's Manhattan! The rooms are furnished with new, stylish furniture and flat screen TVs. VERY high-speed (20mbit) Internet is available wired or wireless, although the cables in both rooms we tried had broken clips. The staff was VERY friendly and accommodating. The people of NYC have changed a lot in the 20 years since the last time I visited! The only negative surprise we had was the lack of a view. Initially, we were given a room on the 2nd floor. It was a beautiful room, with windows on either side, but an opaque curtain covered it completely. When we opened the curtain, the reason became obvious. One room looked onto the roof above the lobby, and all the air handling equipment. The other window was at the bottom of an enclosed area, loaded with trash, and with only a view of brick and other windows in the same hotel. I asked for another room the next day, and they moved us up to the 5th floor, and a different section. This room only had one window, which opened to a different side of the enclosed area I saw from the 2nd floor.

Outstanding hotel. The staff was very accommodating, professional and friendly. Great location. Ask for the executive room, you won't be disappointed.

Very happy with location, comfort, and quietness of hotel. Could have had a better Concierge who could really give directions and recommendations. I was a little uncomfortable one night when I returned at midnight to find the building unlocked and no hotel employees in lobby or at front door at all for security purposes. Other hotel staff was very friendly and accomodating.

we stayed at hotel mela for a quick romantic getaway weekend- we selected it mostly on location-and as far as the hotel goes we had no bad experiences-really only great ones- ive been working in the times square n'hood for 25 yrs and was very pleasantly surprised by the size and appointments of the room and the cleanliness-the entire staff was very friendly,helpful and responsive-really dont think you could do much better for value=comfort in this area of the big city. if you can take a bite of the hotel apple at a special rate then its really a steal and a value. a few extremely minor nitpicking criticisms were not a view at all (excepting hidden from the street adjacent building infrasctructure), the in room safe was completely missing (they quickly offered to send one up but by the time we noticed it wasnt there we were settled in.i said romantic), and the construction project right next door which we never heard but made coming and going a wee bit more diffuclt then usual in midtown manhattan, but hey thats visiting skyscraper park for you. all that being said if i was planning any midtown fun (or reccomending a hotel in the hood) id book here again in a flash. and we'd be real happy about it too. btr/nyc

The staff at the Hotel Mela were very friendly and accomodating. The room was small, as expected, but was very clean and nicely decorated. The location is great if you want to be close to Times Square, the Theatre District and 5th Avenue. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay there again.

Stayed at Hotel Mela for a four-day get-away with my wife. Very happy with the location and comfort of the hotel. The subway stops within a block in almost all directions and there is great dining and drinking within feet of the entrance.

Rooms are great, but they are very small. Bed very comfortable. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Location is right off of times square, but enough up the street that it's location is perfect, and it's quiet enough.. or at least as quiet as you can get in NYC. Restaurant attached is actually quite good. I highly recommend the hotel. Nice choice if you like boutique properties

Hotel Mela, with its prime location and purse-prudent price, allows you to take a large bite of the Big Apple. We were delighted with our stay, only there was a strange stink circulating about the lobby which never fully dissipated and which we evaded only by holding our breath during hotel entrances and exits (which was hard, because the staff was friendly--work on your gestures if the stink is there during your visit).
