“Fantastic for New York”
Great service. Even though it had good reviews on Expedia I didn't expect much for this price right by Times Square at New Years -- but I was so pleasantly surprised byt everything about this hotel.
“will definitely go back”
Excellent location. Rooms small but well appointed. Sheets and towels good quality. Staff extremely friendly and helpful.
“Great Hotel !!!!”
My wife and I stayed at hotel mela for the new year celebration in times square. It is a perfect location right in times square and other great attractions. I will be back next year to Hotel Mela for the great service and clean rooms and the awsome new years party in times square!
“Great Location and Service”
New hotel with great location in midtown. Service could not be better.
“smart hotel in a really good location”
staff were friendly and very helpful room was smart, comfortable and clean location is really good - on 44th st between 6th and times square
“Excellent!”
This hotel was absolutely wonderful. I had a very pleasant stay. The amenities including the free wireless AND cable internet were a big bonus. The new everything in the hotel was also great. I didn't care that there was no restaurant in the hotel - it was actually better because it got me to leave the place more often. I really recommend this over any other hotel in that area. Good price and outstanding!
“We'll come back”
The hotel is 2 minutes from time square away and very quiet! beautiful room, very clean, friendly staff...there is only one word for the hotel Mela....perfect!
“A treasure in Time Square”
We were not expecting such an excellent experience. We can't find one single negative thing about Mela Hotel. The employees are so corteous and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. If that were not enough, it is in the middle of all action - restaurants, theaters, shopping and Time Square around the corner. It is a small cozzy hotel where you can rest after a day of action. The bed and pillows are incredibly confortable! We will be back!
“My favorite hotel in NYC”
I have stayed at the Hotel Mela before. The location couldn't be better. The rooms are just right in size and comfort, and the price is reasonable.
