Great location, modern

The hotel is in a great location, 100m from Time Square, walking distance to Grand Central Station, Central Park, Macy’s etc. The rooms are small, but the bed is comfortable, the AC in our room was VERY noisy, and the thermostat hard to moderate, apart from that we recommend staying there.

Loved

I used to stay here when it was the Mela, always enjoyed my time in this boutique theatre district hotel. It closed for a while due to covid, but is back beautifully renovated and better than ever. I loved how some of the staff remembered me. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Will return again

Needed a place to stay for the night and it was centrally located, quiet and clean. Just a few minute walk to Times Square and other major attractions. Will return again.

Friendly, comfortable stay

Everyone was friendly and helpful. Quick to respond to request. The bed was amazingly comfortable. First time one in a long time that my back did not hurt.
Colleen, 2-night trip

Fab hotel, very central, wonderful staff

Lovely friendly helpful staff. Comfy bed. Spacious room. Excellent location. My only gripe was the extremely noisy ac unit. We had to have it on full capacity due to our stay being in the height of summer.
Claire, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

A bit of a noise from the street but not bad

A bit of a noise from the street. They should definitely add a photo of regular rooms not just suit rooms.

Great hotel!

Great hotel just around the corner from Times Square. Super friendly staff, they where very quick to fix the small issues we had - within five minutes everything was taken care of. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone I know. The only negative thing is, that the room was smaller than shown in the pictures, otherwise everything was perfect.
