Amazing hotel and a great location. Helpful arranging parking for me. Roof terrace was lovely. Slightly underwhelming reception on arrival - functional but lacking a bit of welcome. Nothing major but a really easy win to get right. I'd stay again.
I first dated this hotel seven years ago in 2019, and I’ve come back again and it has fulfilled all expectations in my state was extremely satisfactory. The rooftop was still super fun with great views over the city especially during Sunset hour, not crazy busy very easy to just get a table for drinks. The room itself was a decent size at an acceptable rate, it was clean and it just needs some cosmetic improvements here and there but otherwise it was perfect for our three night stay
Such a great experience staying at MamaShelter Bordeaux. Staff were super helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the pizza in the restaurant and the rooftop bar was so fun. Huge room and bathroom which was very clean. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
We booked this through hotels.com. It was our first time in Bordeaux, so we didn't know much about location, but it turned out to be very well-located---close to the main cathedral square, many restaurants and cafes nearby, and close to a number of tram lines. Our room was quite small, but very comfortable and the beds and pillows were great. The only thing missing for us was a night light---and possible a way to open a window.
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!
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.
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!

Outlet for charging devices was not convenient but it was a good location and a great rooftop bar and restaurant
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.

Great location and the bar/restaurant area is brilliant with music and great styling, very nice staff and good to have free movie selection and tv options.
However, we booked a large room, it was no different to our friend’s room who booked medium and was very basic. It’s meant to be minimalist style but the hard bed, thin pillows, hard to control air con and general frugal feel (no coffee/hot drinks facilities) just felt a bit cheap and ripped off considering it’s not a cheap price and how many lovely other hotels there are to choose from.
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.
Excellent aircon in very hot weather. Comfortable room and very helpful staff. Private underground parking in the middle of the city. A fun rooftop terrace bar
