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 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

We stayed 4 nights-just around corner from Times Square, but surprisingly quiet room. Many excellent restaurants and bars on the same block. Walking distance to most theaters and attractions. Staff was very friendly, and helpful. Room very tiny-as in all large cities-but great bed and accessories-just stay away from the expensive minibar! You can be charged even if you move... More

Half a block from Times Square and the GMA studio, with virtually every Broadway theater within walking distance. We did a marathon of a different show every night, and this hotel was a perfect base. The staff was friendly and helpful and the hotel well maintained. Only complaints were a cracked sink and a dark airshaft view, but we were... More

We stayed in NY five days. The hotel is below average due to very small rooms with ugly carpet and it could be more clean. The fitness room is not recommended at all. But the location is perfect, just at the time square and close to the subway even so it is very easy to reach central park be walk.... More

Just back from a 5 night stay and this is a great hotel in the ideal location for getting around in New York. Fifty yards off Time Square and with some really good restaurants on the same street locations don't come much better than this. Comments about room sizes are fair, but this is no different to most hotels in... More

Hotel is perfectly located, rooms are small but well equipped. The Long Bar and Salu restaurant, either side of Hotel are both very good also. Where the Hotel came into its own is what happened when something went wrong. Our room had not been cleaned when we arrived, so we were immediately upgraded to a suite. The staff were brilliant,...

We stayed at the Hotel Mela for two nights in July 2012, in a Superior room with queen bed. The last time we were in NY we stayed at a historic hotel, we chose to go for a more modern place this time. And in terms of service, location and decor, we have nothing bad to say! The property is... More

Stayed 2nights here. Average boutique type hotel...small yet clean. Customer service could be better. Concierge did a good job though. Location close to just about all things. We were able to walk everywhere.

We stayed here for 6 nights in April for a city break combined with business for my husband. The location is fantastic and the journey from the airport on the air train / mta was straight forward. Check in was quick and easy and our room seemed fine when we opened the door - that was until the fan outside... More
