“Awesome location for price”

Reviewed yesterday NEW

If you want a reasonably priced hotel in the center of Times Square, Mela is it! Courteous staff, small but clean rooms and a boutique feel are what you can expect. Danny Diaz (front counter) was especially wonderful during our check-in process! Absolutely would stay here again.

“A great location and service”

Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

We only had one night to enjoy NYC and decided to stay here after a bit of research. The Staff were great from hailing a Taxi to taking our bags... the location is fantastic if you want to be near Times Square. We will stay here again when the chance arrives to go back.

Visited NYC for 5 days/4 nights and stayed at the Hotel Mela with my wife. Location of the hotel is great, only a block off Times Square and in the heart of the theatre district. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The common areas and rooms are very clean. As with all of NYC, the building is old but looks... More

Staff are very friendly and the location of this hotel is good. Yes the rooms are small but this didn't bother us, it was the cleanliness of the room which become a bit of a bug bare!

“Good location, but not without problems.”

This hotel was among the more affordable hotels in the Times Square area and I booked it for my wife's birthday weekend. The good news is that it's in a nice location central to a lot of activity in Time Square and food choices. The first problem was when I went to use the bathroom because we arrived before checkin...

“OK, but painfully small”

We stayed at the Mela for three nights. It is a very good location, clean, and good employees, but our room was very small, even for NYC. The other issue is that it is no longer a bargain. They recently added a mandatory "resort fee" ($25.00 per night) which, in my opinion makes them noncompetitive with some of the major... More

“Good location, disappointing management”

I recently spent a night at the Hotel Mela. Great location, but tiny room and exorbitant pricing for what you receive. When I say tiny, I mean miniscule even by NYC standards. I was charged more than $90 in fees and taxes and was then hit with an additional $27 resort fee. I tried to get management to waive this... More
