  • Overall: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "I would recommend Hotel Mela to anyone looking for comfortable accommodation in Midtown." source Skoosh

    "I would definately recommend this hotel for visitors to NYC." source Hotels.com

    "Great experience overall, however carpet was dirty, a turnoff. If carpet was clean it would have been a great, hotel to stay at great location, safe, convenient, easy to get to rooms up and down, small, quaint hotel which I prefer over the extremely large chains." source Priceline

    "would stay there again, great location, helpful, friendly, courteous staff, near good restaurants, so new no tv in exercise room and no business center, but not the end of the world." source Travelocity

    "Rooms are a Closet, you open the main door and the bed is not more than 3 feet, the bathroom door is 2 feet from the bed, skip this place is not worth it, try the Dylan Hotel, rooms are bigger and better lobby, better overall, and cost less." source Expedia

  • Clean: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "Again, if you are wanting to stay in a big hotel suite this is not a place for you, but if you are wanting a nice, clean hotel that is close to all the midtown attractions (Times Square, Broadway shows, subways, Rockefeller Center, Bryant Park, etc." source Orbitz

    "great location, reasonable price, clean room." source Orbitz

    "It was a clean room so I will give it that." source Skoosh

    "The hotel staff were helpful and the room was clean." source Hotels.com

    "Modern, clean, half-block from ABC studios. The hotel was clean and modern but while we were there the city was doing construction on the street out front." source Priceline

  • Service: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "Great location and friendly staff made this a very pleasant stay." source Priceline

    "tiny tiny roomshot water was not working at timesamenities/services (gym, restaurant) not working and it is just not enough of the services/amenities for the class that the hotel claims." source Travelocity

    "Excelent location, friendly staff, confortable bed." source Expedia

    "Great Ambience Wonderful Lobby and atmosphere- Great drinks in the lobby- $$$$$$ room was small but adequate, Service great." source Travelocity

    "Our anniversary trip to New York City was made even more special due to the friendly staff." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "the hotel location is the best in city." source Hotels.com

    "Location to Time Square was great If all you plan to do is sleep in your room, then maybe this is the place for you, but even sleeping might be an issue since the doors are so loosely closed you can hear anyone walking down the hall or closing their doors crystal clear." source Priceline

    "Location: Very convenient walking distance from Broadway, Times Square, plenty of restaurants, close to the line to grab your Broadway show tickets at discounted prices for same day shows and on Wed the line starts at 9am." source Travelocity

    "We mainly picked this hotel for location, location, location. ItÂ’s right off Times Square & near Bryant Park which means its easily assessible to alot of subway lines, Port Authority, 5th Ave, & even walking distance to Central Park (IÂ’m from a big city & donÂ’t own a car - so walking this much might not be doable for someone from suburbia." source Expedia

    "Great room in a good location." source Hotels.com

  • Value: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "Good price for the location." source Hotels.com

    "The only negative aspects (not a big deal to me) were that my room was very small (Superior) but since it was just me, I really didn't mind-- I expected it." source Travelocity

    "Coming from the Midwest, I am accustomed to paying much less for a room (hence the relatively low ""value"" score, but the price seemed in line with other options in the area." source Travelocity

    "I would recommend it as a great place to stay in Times Square and 1/2 the price of some of the bigger franchises." source Travelocity

    "-Staff is friendly but not always extremely helpful :( -Overall, for the price it was a good deal." source Travelocity
