Mela offers small, but very nice and fresh rooms. Cleaning was perfect, and concierge offered good service for us, booking our restaurants etc. Hotel is located perfectly, just a 100 meters from Times Square, and a walk away from everything... Really recommend a visit to Nobu restaurant and Buddha Bar Restaurant. Both places offers great food and a fantastic atmosphere. more

My friend and I just returned from a 5 day stay at the Hotel Mela. Great location, very helpful staff. Reviews we read on line made our decision to book here. Glad we did. A tad pricey for the amenities available, but we would return. more

Our stay at Hotel Mela was a nightmare! We booked a superior room online through Expedia.We arrived around 10PM at night for check in. The front desk manager told us that the hotel was booked to capacity and all he could offer us was the room with a double bed. He told us that the Mela double bed was "about... more

The Hotel Mela was an amazing hotel right in the heart of the City. I have been to NYC several times but truly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Mela. The hotel is very unassuming from the outside, but you walk in to a very modern entrance / lobby and are promptly greeted by extremely courteous staff. Check-in was a... more

The rooms are great, cheaper than some of the well known names and frankly far better. Stay here and give yourself a treat with staff who... more

Just back from 3 nights in NYC at Hotel Mela. It was terrific. Normally, I like to stay further from Time Square, but since we got such a good deal it was fine...in fact, it was great. Our room wasn't ready when we checked-in , so they offered us the upgrade that would be ready sooner. Left our bags and... more

Very pleasant place to stay for business. The hotel is in the middle of Times Square but does not seem hectic or too loud. I stayed there for work and the hotel room accommodates guests that need workspace. My only suggestion is to move the clunky desk lamp as it takes up too much room for a laptop. The business... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Mela in July. This is a great little boutique hotel. Very clean, retro decor, safe and great staff. We were expecting the room to be tiny since everyone states that they are, but it was fine. It is not huge but all you need is a bed, bathroom and window, really. The... more

If you were to believe many older reviews of the Hotel Mela, you would be put off wanting to stay there- this nearly happened to me. I was gutted once my booking had been confirmed as just after I had booked a week there I read things that completely scared me e.g. the size of the rooms, lift size, views... more
