I stayed the weekend of May 17th-19th. We stayed for a vacation and I had a great time! The hotel in the heart of Times Square, so it is super close to everything. The front desk staff was awesome as well. We called early in the morning to see if we could check in early, and we were able to... More

Traveled as part of a group in May 2013. Excellent location. Could not ask for better. Book a deluxe room for more space. Very clean and comfortable. John Paul at the Desires desk was excellent and I recommend contacting him for anything you need (eg dinner reservations) prior to arriving or once you arrive. The staff were all very good.... More

We arrived at the hotel at approx 13:30 and was greeted in a well presented foyer. Unfortunately we was told our room wasn't going to be ready until 15:00. So we had a wonder round times square. Literally a two minute walk (EXCELLENT). Once we got back to the hotel we was given our room on the 4th floor at... More

My husband and I recently stayed 4 nights at the Hotel Mela. I booked this through bidding on Priceline. After finding out which hotel Priceline had given me, I then read reviews on Trip Advisor. Some of the reviews were unfavorable therefore I was very skiddish about staying at this hotel. What a pleasant surprise! From the moment we checked... More

Stayed at this hotel from May 19th - May 22. Loved that it was so close to Times Square. The staff was professional. The room was cleaned daily. Cons: Wifi was extremely slow. I felt like I was in a 3rd world country or something. The rooms are small but it's to be expected for NYC. The blinds in the... More

I booked Hotel Mela through one of the online "deals" for my parents. While I am not a huge fan of the Time Square neighborhood, it is convenient with easy access to various sightseeing activities with easy access from my place in UWS. After reading the existing reviews, I felt assured that it would be clean, comfortable and quiet- with... More

There are tons of hotel options in the Times Square area. I wanted one close but not directly in the hustle and bustle. I opted for Mela as "boutique" option. This was a mediocre choice given its price point. I purposely upgraded 2 notches above the basic room for the Executive room. There wasn't anything executive about it. The place... More

Really enjoyed our stay here. We went for a 'big' birthday and the hotel upgraded us to a larger room, which was hugely appreciated. All staff at all times were helpful and friendly, I couldn't have asked for more. Staff really were a treat when almost everywhere else we went bar the odd exception were staffed by sullen grumps.

We stayed for 5 nights, on a room only basis. Lovely hotel, room was very clean & spacious we booked a queen executive after reading previous reviews - only fault was that we had a view of the dark airshaft & a crack in the sink, but we only were in the room to bathe & sleep in any case.... More

We had a really lovely experience in this hotel and I would deeply recomend it. Big room, which is very unusual in NYC, clean bathroom, nice staff and the best location in the Big Apple! We tried the Bistro next door one day and we had breakfast there. It was not really good: $7 for a bagel and not very... More
