2nd time at the Mela and still pleased. It is so close to Time Sqaure and the tickets booth for show tickets, you can run over and buy reduced price tickets. The rooms are small (common in NYC) but clean and modern. I like smaller hotels, so much less stress.

staff friendly and helpful, room was cozy and efficient, clean nicely appointed, location great for theaters and the neighborhood, easy access to subways . . will return

I booked 3 rooms on Travel Zoo for Memorial Day weekend. Wasn't expecting much due to the price, but was very surprised to find such a wonderful hotel in the heart of the theatre district, steps away from Times Square. It worked out wonderful for the theatre go-ers in our group, as well as those who just wanted to have... More

I could not think of one complaint regarding my stay at the Hotel Mela. The rooms were clean and in great condition. Perfect location! Loved the breakfast at Saju Bistro. The staff were all professional, nice, and accomodating. I will definately continue to stay at the Hotel Mela during my visits to NYC. I hope that this hotel does not... More

Tucked away in a quiet street just a stone's throw off Times Square and Broadway is Hotel Mela. Its smallish rooms, though normal by NYC standards, are tastefully adorned and comfortable. The staff are very nice and accommodating. I like that the place has a very casual and easy going atmosphere about it. I have stayed here twice already, and... More

We got a discounted price and upgrade on this property which made it a bargan for its location right in the heart of the theatre district. The bistro Saju next door is a great place to dine especially for the great breakfastes which were part of the upgrade. The freebie cocktails the first night was a nice treat too. The... More

Located on a street just a block from Times Square, this hotel is surprisingly quiet. Our first room, a superior queen, was too tiny. Even though we were not in NYC to stay in our room, there was literally not enough space on the floor to open up a suitcase. We upgraded to the deluxe room, which was significantly larger,... More

Booked through travelzoo and it turned out to be a great experience. As part of the deal we were upgraded to a larger room. No bathtub, shower only but the bathroom was clean and bright. Our room overlooked 44 but it wasn't very noisy. Great breakfast from the restaurant next door, usually didn't need lunch after. Staff were friendly and... More

Really nice room, larger than I expected. Very helpful friendly staff - happy to find me a non feather pillow when I asked which was great. Room was a little noisy (I think I may have been near the air-con unit perhaps), but this didn't bother me. It may bother a light sleeper or anyone overly sensitive to noise however.
