Guest Reviews

Chad (10/5): - Everything you want in a room and more -book 1st floor LARGE WINDOWS open for the freshest air
William (10/5): - A very unique property. Clean room and facilities. Comfortable bed, air conditioning, nice bathroom. Friendly staff.
Alison (10/5): - Absolutely loved our time at Mama Shelter - from the moment we walked in the staff were super friendly and helpful and the roof top bar was great. Rooms were bright and clean with plenty of space. Would recommend adding on breakfast downstairs as a highlight too.
JAYNE (10/5): - Mama Shelter hotels are always funky and interesting. The Bordeaux one is in a quiet area but only a couple of minutes walk from the main shopping area. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially when we needed advice on how to get the to arena for a show. We ate in the hotel restaurant on the first night as we arrived late after a long day, but the service was non existent and the food average so I would avoid eating there as there are so many fabulous restaurants in the area. The room was quirky with the bed in the middle of the room. We had a really enjoyable 4 days in Bordeaux and would recommend it for a short break.
MR RICARDO (10/5): - Quirky decoration throughout, confortable and clean. Staff were welcoming. Located in the city centre, so easy access by foot. There's no access by car due to barriers on the streets, so we had to use a local car park. At night, the area around the hotel didn't feel particularly welcoming due to homelessness, but this was a problem all around the city.
Todd (10/5): - Lovely hotel. Good food if you decide to eat there as well! Helpful front desk.
Michael (8/5): - Great location. Friendly staff and fun rooftop patio.
Dermot (10/5): - Great room, comfortable bed. Nice rooftop bar/restaurant with very friendly amd helpful people.
Holly (6/5): - Great location, small rooms but not bad
Veerle (6/5): - Air condition not working
Celine (10/5): Très bel hôtel j'ai hâte d'y retourner - Ma chambre était grande propre bien équipée. On m'a accueillie au beau milieu de la nuit suite au retard de mon train le personnel est vraiment gentil. Le resto au rooftop est très bien et la vue est magnifique. Cependant j'ai entendu des propos très désobligeants de la part du 'manager" du resto envers les employées fémines. Ça m'a beaucoup dérangée, je ne suis plus retournée au restaurant pour le reste de mon séjour.
Anne (10/5): - We love the style of the Mama shelter, great location, very good food and friendly staff in a fun decor that we already knew from our visits to Marseille and Paris: great concept!
Kristina (10/5): - Of the four hotels we stayed during our holiday in France, this one was the absolute best! I highly recommend this LGBTQ friendly property. It is so much fun and the rooftop bar is a must! The rooms are super spacious (I know… this is a hotel in Bordeaux!) and the bed so comfortable. The mirrors and bed all light up to making it extra cool!
Sara (10/5): - Cute hotel! Lovely bar and fun decor. Wouldn’t stay there again because the area it is in is a bit sketchy (the street specifically) and the only view options are 2 buildings straight across from you on both sides .
alessandra (10/5): great young vibe and central position - great location and very nice vibe within the entire hotel, lobby and terrace
Allison (10/5): - Great vibe in the Hotel, decor is unique and fun. Rooftop bar is fun and downstairs bar was good too. Staff was helpful. Good location.
carolyn (10/5): - Outlet for charging devices was not convenient but it was a good location and a great rooftop bar and restaurant
Peter (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay - very special atmosphere, with the rooftop bar
Jeff (10/5): - I love Mama
Jane (10/5): - Rooftop restaurant very nice
Stuart (10/5): Great stay - Really enjoyed pur stay here. The reception staff were particularly good and very helpful. Very clean room. Rooftop bar also had a great vibe.
Michael (10/5): - A nice place. Right in the middle of the best walkable area of the city. Desk open 24 hours for check-in is a plus. Good friendly rooftop bar.
Suikam (10/5): Excellent Hotel in good location - Excellent hotel in a very centric location. Rooms are very spacious, clean and modern.
David (4/5): - Parking was promised and not provided. Restaurant was noisy until 2 am
Kathleen (10/5): - Brill stay with welcoming staff and fantastic bar and restaurant options!
warren (10/5): - This is a great hotel in the center of Bordeaux which is very close to most of the main attractions in the city. It has a modern vibe and the bars are hopping in the evenings. The breakfast was really good. The staff was amazing and very helpful. The rooms are a bit small and there’s no coffee in the rooms but it’s France and the coffee is easy to get downstairs
Rosa (8/5): - We had an amazing stay at mama shelter in bordeaux. The bar and restaurant are great. The vibe is amazing. The only issue we had was that our shower lost pressure so we couldn’t wash before we left. I expected the staff to offer some form of discount considering the inconvenience but they did not. Given that being able to wash is a pretty fundamental aspect of staying in a hotel I do think they staff could have made more of an effort to compensate us.
Stan (6/5): - walls in the room were painted black. room decoration was strange
monica (10/5): - Good location and the rooftop bar is outstanding. The neighborhood had homeless and was a bit dirty.
Michael (10/5): - Great location and a very funky hotel with a nice rooftop bar/restaurant. Would definitely recommend this hotel in Bordeaux.
Joshua (10/5): - Great vibe with nice modern amenities
Georgia (10/5): - The staff was exceptional and so very friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar was good but they needed some organization skills. They had tables across the street from the hotel and they offered pizza and drinks for purchase during the day. In a park like setting. Very cool. Good location.
David (10/5): - A wonderful place right in the center of downtown Bordeaux. Rooftop bar was a delight.
Vlora (8/5): Central location and modern look and feel hotel - The hotel is in a good location, very central, the communal areas are modern and fun, great rooftop bar, super friendly staff. Only downside is the size of the rooms. There’s just enough space for the bed and the TV. It’s fine if you don’t intend to spend time in your hotel room.
Verified traveler (10/5): Fun for a weekend! - Great location, good rooms, the place to be in Bordeaux. Be sure to try the breakfast and visit the rooftop.
Verified traveler (6/5): - Great location and stylish hotel- yet the basics such as a kettle and or coffee machine weren’t in the room. There was a microwave (!) but no serve ware or cutlery whatsoever - so overall really useless. Worst of all though - on January 3rd the fire alarm went off at 6:10am... luckily it turned out to be a false alarm. Yet do you think anyone would even have so much as apologised? It was met with complete negligence to the point that we even had to ask several Staff whether there was truly nothing serious going on!!! There was no reassurance nor any apology for the disturbance (again, everybody was woken up and ran out in PJs!), nothing! Was handled at a level of unprofessionalism that left me baffled. Not even a free coffee offered to the guests the next morning. So hotel wise: great! Service wise: deplorable!
Julie (6/5): - Great location, very friendly staff, room very small, very clean.
David (10/5): - The minute I walked into Mama Shelters doors, it was like walking into a party. The staff was very welcoming and pleasant. The room was clean, also festive in its own way, the technology for the rooms was also great in regards to streaming channels, WiFi etc. The rooftop bar was also nice and festive. The hotels location was great. All the major sites were walkable. I would definitely stay at one of their hotels again
Verified traveler (8/5): - The proximity to local areas was great and was also a cool and funky place
elizabeth (10/5): Great choice, great location - We did enjoy our stay. A 'cool' hotel in a top notch location in Bordeaux. Our overall impression on entering our room was that of supreme comfort - couldn't wait to try out the bed which was heavenly. The room and bathroom were so excellently organized that one didn't feel cramped. Was amazed to find that you'd even provided a microwave! Thank you.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Well located- very friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed the roof garden setting and vibe. The room was on the small side but manageable Overall we enjoyed our stay in Bordeaux
Verified traveler (10/5): - Reception staff were very helpful. The Hotel was clean and the location couldn’t have been better. We were very happy with the stay as a whole.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location, upbeat fun vibe, awesome rooftop bar, very helpful friendly staff
MD (10/5): One of the best - Great hotel, tremendous rooftop bar - very hip. A little pricey at 12 euro a negroni but well worth it for the ambience. Good breakfast and also well placed for all the sites.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location. Small rooms. Friendly, helpful staff.
Verified traveler (8/5): - The rooms were stylish and spacious enough with lots of tech. Comfy bed and great shower. Funky hotel and great rooftop bar. Addition of a coffee machine or kettle with tea/coffee in the room and a full length mirror would be welcome. Great location for exploring Bordeaux.
Verified traveler (8/5): - No gym, no parking. They did not make it clear how hard it is to reach by car.
Italia (10/5): - Perfectly located for exploring the city. Front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful with suggestions on places to visit.
Richard (10/5): Brilliant staff engagement - The best part of our stay was the engagement of Mama Shelter's staff. Who ever inspires them deserves an award. All staff including the cleaners made our stay perfect. Congratulations to you all
Jennifer (10/5): - This is a unique hotel in a convenient location. Easy to walk to nearby shopping and restaurants. The room was a good size for myself and my husband, and we enjoyed the style of the decor. The hotel has a very nice view of the city from the rooftop restaurant. We didn’t eat here, but did have drinks at the downstairs restaurant bar one evening. Even though it seems to have a happening nightlife, our room was quiet and relaxing. We would recommend this hotel and stay here again.
Franck (8/5): - Fun, great service, location. Mirrors on both side of the bed ..
Verified traveler (10/5): - modern room, clean and excellent staff. We like the overall brand of what they offer. Location is excellent for area. roof top lounge was a hit also.
Verified traveler (8/5): - A quirky and cool hotel in a good location. Great rooftop bar
Joan (10/5): Funky Hotel - The hotel has great ambience and the service was fantastic. The rooftop bar is an awesome place to hangout for a drink - great views of the city. Located close to the sights in Bordeaux .Definitely will be back!!!
Myriam (10/5): - This property had everything we needed and was conveniently located! The rooftop is a nice place to hangout and so the restaurant/bar! Sara from the front desk was AMAZING! She greeted us with a beautiful smile, she was very professional and knows the best places to go in the city! She recommended us a restaurant that literally made our stay! My boyfriend and i couldn’t have wished to have a best custumer service! Thank you Sara again!!!!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location near the city centre with historical buildings, restaurants and shops within walking distance. Mama Shelter is a cool, funky place with a unique and friendly style. This was my first visit to a Mama hotel... I will definitely go to others.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very quirky and friendly hotel with lovely rooftop bar.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very comfortable hotel, well located in the city centre. The room was on the small side but very modern, clean, quiet and had all we required - we thought having a water tap in the room was a nice touch. Friendly staff. We didn't have breakfast or the restaurant.
Kin (10/5): Funky boutique hotel - The bed was comfortable ! The Apple I Mac teley was superb!
Liz (8/5): - Really like the concept of the hotel and the location was just perfect. However, if you want to sleep at night, it’s probably not the right place, as they have loud music until almost 2am every night. We were on the 3rd floor and the music was still very loud.
Sean (10/5): - Room was nice but a little snug, I wasn’t convinced that the bed in the middle of the room was the best use of space
Norma (10/5): Quirky, fun Hotel - Hotel was great. Friendly, well located and staff excellent. Quirky decorations but fun and rooms are small but comfortable,
Shelli (8/5): Cool design, hip hotel. - Had to book a last minute stay and the only hotel available was Mama Shelter. It was a bit on the pricey side for my budget but worth the price. The room was amazing, and now that I know of Mama Shelter I would like to come back to one of their other locations. Also the restaurant downstairs looked really cool too bad I didn’t get a chance to eat there.
Julia (6/5): Cool hipster hotel, small rooms - This hotel room is very similar to the Standard Hotel or some of the more "hipster" hotels in the US - very small rooms that focus attention on the vibe of the common areas over the rooms themselves. Our room was very small and the bathrooms were not comfortable but managed to fit the bill for one night. That being said, the location was perfect - right next to a parking garage and mall with a Monoprix (grocery store) and walking distance of main parts of town. The vibe of the hotel outside the room was very cool - lobby bar was packed, good music and great for pics. They have a rooftop bar that was closed during our stay but would be a place people go to for drinks, even if not staying at the hotel. Wifi was great in the rooms and lobby, programming on the tv's was interesting, and they branded everything (soaps, shampoo, etc.).
Verified traveler (8/5): Stylish and Convenient Bordeaux Bolthole - Very trendy hotel in a great location for the city centre - very close to two tram lines, the cathedral and designer shopping street. Most tourist sights were in easy walking distance. Very comfortable beds with high quality linens in spacious and quirky designer rooms. Organic toiletries provided together with hand-written welcome note and madeleines. The rooftop bar is open to non-residents and very popular so it can be difficult to get a table but worth it if you succeed! There is music in the ground floor bar/restaurant most evenings. Staff are very friendly and are quick to address any niggles. We had a problem with the air con in our west-facing room and were moved to a cooler room. At first glance the menus look expensive but Bordeaux is an expensive city so they are actually pretty much aligned with local prices. There were some couples with small children staying but I wouldn't recommend it for families as there is a variety of items of an adult nature for sale in reception and several varieties of adult channel available free of charge on the high tech TVs in the rooms.
serene (8/5): Nice welcoming hotel vibes. - Pillows must be improved. Too soft for neck support
Susan (10/5): - What a wonderful hotel!! Modern, clean, near the heart of Bordeaux city center. Women at reception were very helpful and spoke excellent English. I will look for mama shelter hotels wherever I travel!
KEVIN (8/5): Funky hotel! - Great hotel! Service a little on the slow side sometimes and road works around centre of city meant accessing hotel extremely difficult. Out of their hands I know but nobody seems to have planned an access route to provide guests who are arriving by car with to avoid the worst of the delays!
gillian (10/5): Fab hotel! - Fab rooftop bar/ restaurant. Great rooms and public areas Situated in historical centre.
Constance (8/5): - Our room could have been a little bigger. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. However , the restaurant on the 6th floor needs more staff. It took at least half an hour to get our food and the drinks arrived five minutes later.
Jennifer (8/5): Hipster hotel in great location. - I would recommend Mama Shelter for someone that is looking for a clean and convenient hotel in a great central Bordeaux location. However, I'll warn that it's a bit unusual in it's styling and atmosphere. As we checked in on a Friday night after 10:00 pm, the restaurant on the ground floor was blasting rap music, which made me a bit worried that my hotel choice would not give me a restful night sleep. But once we got to the room, it was very quiet and very dark and had everything we needed. The tv was one of the best I've used in a hotel - an Apple monitor with a great menu that let you easily select the English channels. They also provided a great Dyson fan that kept the air moving since the air conditioning wasn't chilling the room completely (it was also 100 degrees out). The shower was large, powerful and drained well (which is hard to find in a European hotel). I would say the toiletries could be improved, as could the pillows. Overall, I was very happy with the hotel, especially because of it's central location, making it easy to stop back during the day to rest for a bit before heading out for wine and dinner. Just be ready for a hip and modern atmosphere.
John (8/5): hip hotel - The hotel has small but nice rooms. Some have very poor views (into a stairwell), but they are relatively quiet. The breakfast buffet is good (17 Euros if not included with the room), but there are breakfast places within 10 minutes, e.g. on rue Ste. Catherine. The hotel is in the old part of the city and centrally located to many of the places of interest. The rooftop bar is a nice place to spend a sunny day.
Verified traveler (8/5): Hot and loud but great location and food. - The room was hot and loud, near the staircase on the first floor. But the staff were friendly and the food was great. Can't beat the location.
AP (8/5): Try a bit too hard to be cool - It's a nice hotel in the central Bordeau area. A little difficult to get to by car but parking not too far away. We got a warm welcome the room was not set up quite right two singles not the double we ordered but the came and converted it instantly. The restaurant on the roof is very lively and has great views. Good food but quite pricey for essentially bistro food. Can't really fault the place maybe just a bit too cool for school.
Brad (10/5): - Central location. Trendy spot.
Audrey (10/5): - The front desk reception staff was so fantastic! The location was excellent and easy walking access to many tourist sites, restaurants, and shops. We would definitely stay there again or at one of their many other locations.
Neil (8/5): Great stay at the Mama Shelter - We had a great stay although somewhat confusing to find the hotel because of one-way streets and a rental car. Great location, close to good restaurants and tourist sites. comfortable bright room and a great rooftop restaurant. Would definitely stay here again.
Tal (8/5): Stylish in central location - Stylish and modern hotel in a fantastic location. Rooms are small but overall design and details makes it worth. Great rooftop!
Charles (10/5): Mama shelter was great - Just a one nighter but was absolutely great both town and hotel will go back for longer. Had a lovely meal at hotel, staff were very friendly, while experience was great.
Tommy (8/5): Nice and friendly hotel in a good loacation - Very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious roomms and good beds. Very tasty food in the restaurant for dinner, good drinks at the bar. Didn´t have time to check out the rooftop terrace, but it certainly was popular judging by the amount of people going there. The only negative is that there was a bunch of homeless people hanging out in the small plaza in front of the hotel the first night - making quite a noise in the morning.
Verified traveler (6/5): To hipster, nice location. - Trying too hard to be hipster. Great location. Nice staff A/ C did not work and room was hot. Received free coffee for rough night.
Verified traveler (8/5): Location excellent plus parking available - Hotel conveniently placed, staff extremely helpful
Neil (10/5): Great for exploring Bordeux - Excellent hotel in the heart of Bordeaux. Very quiet even though there were a lot of young people staying up late in the bar. A minimalist style which suited us fine and comfortable beds in a very clean room. Great location for exploring Bordeaux.
Rossana (10/5): Amazing vibe! - A fun, vibrant place to stay! Staff were so friendly. Perfect place to meet other like-minded people and socialise.
Chrissy (10/5): Modern hotel in the centre of town - A large hotel within easy reach of tram's, and walking distance of all the sights. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was sound proof, and spacious and very clean. Everything seemed really new and great quality. Breakfast was very good. In the evening it was very popular with all ages of people, eating, drinking and dancing. Great atmosphere.
Andrew (8/5): Air con issue impacted the stay : ( - Great location, near to centre and easy walking distance to bars, restaurants, shops, tram lines etc Hotel very interesting design, lovely bar and restaurant space and buzzy at the weekends. Our stay would have been great I'm sure except that the air conditioning in our room was not working properly, this meant the room was too hot to sleep in. We complained each day but weren't moved and the problem wasn't fixed until we were checking out so we had three nights of terrible sleep. It was a shame because other stays at Mama Shelter hotels have been great. Hopefully it was a one off.
Alexia (10/5): Thanks Mama! - Fabulous central location - perfect for exploring. Super cool decor and overall hotel vibe. Clean rooms and comfy bed. No hesitations to stay again!
Barbara S (8/5): Stay with Mama in Bordeaux - Location is great for shopping and seeing sites. Lots of choices for restaurants. Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Verified traveler (10/5): Fabulous! - Wonderful!!!
Al (8/5): Funky hotel in heart of Bordeaux great rooftop bar - Staff are very friendly and location in central Bordeaux is superb. Ideal for those looking for a hip design hotel. Funky ground floor bar/restaurant area and cool rooftop bar/restaurant which was buzzing on a Thursday night. Rooms are functional and nicely designed, if a tad simple. Fantastic comfy beds and very quiet with huge windows. We were on 5th floor so had great views over the roof tops of the city.
Chelsea (10/5): Good location and value! - Nice location, close enough to walk everywhere we planned to visit :) Taking the metro/tram was easy to the train station. Service was helpful, and room size was comparable to what you find in most European cities. Enjoyed the rooftop bar and views !
Karen (8/5): Central hotel. - Nicely decorated hotel. Very central. Buffet breakfast OK but expensive. Rooftop bar very pleasant.
Karen (10/5): Great stay - Excellent quirky hotel in good position to get around Bordeaux. Staff we excellent and we're very polite and helpful. Lovey roof top bar with great views over the town.
Peter (10/5): Enjoyable trip - Excellent location and staff. Not the cheapest place to drink - go into the town and find the wine school near the opera theatre! Shower was difficult to get a good temperature as it kept going hot and cold and air conditioner didn't work making sleep difficult. Spotlessly clean and lovely staff made for a pleasant stay. I would return
Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel well located in city center. - Nice room, great bar and helpful young staff. Great location in the city center.
Christopher (8/5): Nice hotel but a big problem in the roads around - Lovely hotel but a shame the rooftop terrace was not open. Lovely food. Would have liked a charging point in the room. No separate light in toilet had to switch light in sink alcove on at same time which disturbed other sleeper. No parking is stated on hotel information but it would have been useful to have been told that the area around the hotel was controlled by rising bollards. We did not know and consequently had a bad accident colliding with a bollard. Car being repatriated to UK.
Arthur (10/5): Highly recommended - Very helpful reception and dining staff, all spoke English. A big room, huge window, solid king bed with quality linen, free stable Wi-Fi, would definitely stay here again. Other conference delegates were equally satisfied.
Verified traveler (8/5): Well situated - This is quite a quirky hotel well situated for all the Bordeaux sites.
karil (10/5): Really unique hotel. - Loved every minute here. Most interesting decor. Good food. Thoughtful attendants.
Peter (10/5): - Great hotel. Fun vibe, very comfortable room, killer roof top patio and great food. All the staff were friendly and helpful but Marie at the front desk was amazing - she absolutely made the experience for us with the best service I've ever experienced. Would definitely stay again.
