Mama Shelter Bordeaux

A modern hotel in the heart of Bordeaux's old town, very well located for a leisure stay in town. A big thanks to Mme Ernondesse at the reception, she has been such a lovely and warmhearted person, a great brand ambassador - thanks so much for your kind assistance! The room was very bright and the bed has been super confortable. Toilettries are poor though, no shampoo at all and a very little douche soap.

We love Mama Shelter concept which shows us that it is possible to consider the hotel industry in another way. A beautiful life experience, where the human and the planet return to the center of attention

I stayed at Mama Shelter Bordeaux this week for 2 nights. It was during a June heat wave. The hotel is fun and reasonably priced with a cool rooftop bar. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. We initially checked into a room on the 2nd floor. It was terribly hot in the room and there was no AC. This is not something that is mentioned on the hotel website. I asked the reception for a room with AC and they moved us to a room on the 5th floor. The hotel lobby is air conditioned. The reception told me that hotel floors 1-4 for guests do not have AC. The 5th floor does have AC. If this is important to you, I would recommend that you request the 5th floor.

Cheaply done. Small double cost €220 per night. View of a blank wall 4m away. Supposedly hip/trendy, in fact grunge and cheap. Breakfast ok, not fantastic, poorly lit (both buffet and dining tables). Rooftop bar v good. Not expensive. Open to non-residents. Steps to front entrance, so avoid heavy bags. Will not visit again.

We got the bigger room and it was definitely spacious enough for us and our big luggage; one of the most pleasant hotel rooms we stayed at in France! We loved the quirky style and we were lucky to get a room with huge windows and a great view of Bordeaux. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again if I'm back in Bordeaux.
