Just come back from four nights in the Big Apple, our first trip to NYC. Picked the Mela based on some good reviews on this website and as always it has not let us down. Arrived at 3pm after a good flight, our room was not ready which was slightly disappointing but was told it would be available in 1/2... more

I booked for 2 persons and when I saw the room thought they had made a mistake and had put us in a single room. not so !! Staff were friendly and professional, hotel very well located just off Broadway, clean and modern. Lifts very small and very slow, rooms tiny but well appointed. Prior arrivl communication with the front... more

My first stay at a "boutique' hotel. Hotel Mela was very nice, trendy- the way I like it when I am splurging. Located in the heart of Times Square, I was in walking distance of all Times Square attractions including then Virgin MegaStore, which was my favourite place in TS. Mela's front doormen were attentive, very friendly and all seemed... more

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Mela this past weekend for our wedding anniversary. I don't really have anything negative to say. If you want to be nit picky, the rooms are a little small. However, I didn't spend much time in the room. I was in NYC!! The bathroom was fine and plenty big enough to get... more

Right off of Times Square - close to everything!!! Love the smell of apples in the Lobby - absolutely loved this more

Hotel Mela is a cool little boutique hotel right in the middle of it all. The location couldn't be better, literally right around the corner from where they film Good Morning America in Times Square. The hotel is nice, room was kind of small, but hey it's NYC so I think most rooms are small. But the hotel was clean,... more

I got suckered into staying at this hotel with rooms too small for circus midgets based on the "reviews" in TripAdvisor. It was only after I checked in that I realized how truly tiny the rooms are and wondered how this hotel receives three stars. Notice that virtually everyone gives them a 5 star - that's insane - not even... more

The hotel staff are exceptional. After a long morning of traveling from 5am to 1030am the staff checked us in early so that we could shower and feel human the rest of the day. Whenever we needed anything the staff made sure we were taken care of. The room was great and the bed was very comfy. We were initially... more

My 11-year-old and I stayed here for her first trip to NY city, and it was wonderful. Convenient to Central Park and carriage rides, shopping in Times Square, a deli with hot food, great restaurants for brunch, and convenient to Broadway (we caught Mary Poppins.) A bowl of fresh apples in the sophisticated lobby helped the hotel live up to... more
