Mama Shelter Лион 3 звезды

You will know from the other reviews that this is a hotel which is aimed at a young/party demographic. I fairness, there was a pretty wide range of ages staying but it definitely attracts and suits a younger crowd. We paid about Eur170 for a twin room, breakfast and parking on a Saturday night. It was less than half what we would have paid at the upscale Accor properties in the city centre (M Gallery, Sofitel). What impressed me most is that 'money is spent' on all the right things. The quality of the breakfast was fantastic (fresh juicing machine, eggs to order, and all the branded items were to quality ones). The bed linens were very comfortable and felt high-end. Food in the restaurant was very good and so on. What else impressed: - the staff were charming and fun. Great team - the wifi is off the scale (500mbps) - it was 35c in Lyon and the air-conditioning was 'US powerful'. Rarely the case in France. - I liked the minimal, bare concrete decor. It will age well. To improve/consider: - the rooms are tiny. This isn't somewhere to spend time in your room. - by packing in the rooms to achieve a certain pricing possibility, there doesn't seem to have been much space left over for anything else. Lots of dirty linen stored in hallways, no gym, nowhere to lounge (other than sitting at a table in the dining room) - we wanted to be in the 7e for my son's university, but the location isn't central for sightseeing. No more than 10 mins walk off, but not central. - the car park is a nightmare to navigate. I rented an estate car and had to be very very careful. I would stay at a Mama Shelter again. Better than Marriott's new Moxy brand (which looks like a brothel version of a Premier Inn), and I find Ws to be a bit irritating (and way more expensive). Great concept if this fits your need and mood.

Private material was stolen in our room !! Reaction from the hotel : sorry, but we don't take responsability . You should have warned us when there is private material in your room. Can you imagine ?

Booked this hotel as a quick stopover on a train journey to Barcelona. It’s a 10 min taxi ride from the station and even on a Sunday night the restaurant had a good vibe to it with live music playing. I am a vegan 🌱 and whilst there was nothing on the menu for me, after negotiation the chef managed to conjure up a delightful three course meal which I could enjoy along with my 3 friends. I spoke to the delightful manager or ‘mama’ as she introduced herself, in the morning. She used to manage the restaurant and said that they would now be putting vegan dishes on the menu as the kitchen already has all the ingredients anyway. It would be great if this was repeated across the Mama Shelter chain. The rooms were small but functional. Beds are comfortable and good to see them taking the lead with a shampoo, body wash, soap bar in cardboard packaging. I’ve heard the chain will hopefully go plastic free soon. To be sustainable they need to raise the profile of plant based food also. The TV system was great with loads of free movies 🎥 🍿 available to watch in different languages.

Very much enjoyed our stay here - nice hotel, bar, restaurant and breakfast was good. The location is not central but it is in an area that has good bars, restaurants and is a very quick journey to the hotel dieu.

Hello, I need to share that sadly MamaShelter in not suited for internal business travelers. The hotel has no travel plug-adaptors to lend, the staff sends you off for a 30 minute walk ride to go buy one, and when I returned, i actually saw in one of the hotel "items to sell list" that they actually sell these right at the reception desk... Which means the staff is not even trained to support such requests. When I gave them feedback, they barely apologize too. I will not chose this hotel next time I come for work in Lyon.
