    A superb hotel with excellent rooms, beds, great facilities and a nice, courteous service. The exception is the very young and partly inexperienced staff in the rooftop bar/restaurant, but they are still willing to find a solution for everything. You should definitely book the breakfast buffet in the funky restaurant. Unfortunately, it has to be mentioned that many homeless people live in front of the hotel with their dogs, some of whom bark until late at night. In addition, our tires were stolen from one of our bicycles in front of the hotel entrance overnight.

    Great restaurant , we had a drink at the roof. And food in the restaurant. Amazing experience. DJ was wonderful. I love the ambiance. Staffs were fast and helpful. Changed our vine as it was very dry for us.

    One of the best places to go and chill in the evening with your friends during the summer, a lovely view from the rooftop and guess what? You can play baby foot with random and nice people, 8vs8, that's an awesome experience if you want to socialize or have a good time.

    We are rating only the rooftop bar experience. We had online reservation, no problems there. We went on Sunday evening that had latin vibes. Rooftop have some nice views over the old town, but design, coziness and food we found average as well as mood. Yes Dj was playing latin music but just as a background for your dinner.

    (Translated by Google) A great place in Bordeaux! Perfect for having a drink in a trendy and well decorated setting, with a big plus the panoramic view of Bordeaux! You can also stay and eat, the menu is varied with trendy and well-prepared dishes. The value for money is decent considering the location. (Original) Un super endroit à Bordeaux ! Parfait pour prendre un verre dans un cadre branché et bien décoré, avec un grand plus la vue panoramique sur bordeaux ! Vous pouvez également rester manger, la carte est varié avec des plats tendances et bien travaillés. Le rapport qualité prix est correct compte tenu de l’endroit.

    Room really dirty (hair from previous guests, dust), Empty mini bar, No shampoo, No water pressure in shower, Food at restaurant mediocre, Breakfast doesnt live up to the 21 Euros they charge (little selection - only ham, suboptimal for muslims?), All in all the hotel doesnt feel like a 200 Euros/night stay ... More like a 50-75 Euros/night youth hostel

    Don't bother with the bar! Views are good, hugely overpriced, basically no service. We got a table, I went to the bar to buy drinks (4 people behind the bar) and was told it was table service only, we sat there for 10 minutes and no-one came near us so we left, hopeless.

    I came here for the food. I was pleasantly surprised by the place and didn't quite know how to take it. But what an adventure it is. Very lively and full of fun and sass the menu was an easy treat and it felt like a great place to hang with your friends and enjoy the night Not a fancy joint but an entertaining locale.

    Came here whilst on holiday in Bordeaux and it was recommended by a friend, it didn’t disappoint!! Staff were very attentive and helpful, the decor is cool and contemporary. It was a very fun, friendly and family oriented place. And then there’s the food, which was absolutely delicious. So glad they had options for vegetarians too. The desserts were delicious, definitely recommend leaving room for these too!! We then went upstairs to the roof top bar for cocktails, and these too were fantastic. You really should fit this place in for a visit if you’re in the beautiful city of Bordeaux! It won’t disappoint!

    Excellent in every way. We stayed in their largest room and it was great and clean. The hotel has exceptional parking, boasts amazing g location, customer service provided is super, rooftop bar and restaurant are buzzing with activity and beautiful locals! Great fun place to stay with personal touches and exceptional service!

    Nice view from the rooftop, the food is nice and so are the cocktails. However... how comes a place named "Mama Shelter" doesn't have a changing table in the restrooms ?! Especially considering how spacious they are, no excuse there.

  • 2/5 French R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice views from the roof top bar, but 17 euros for a small beer and glass of wine!!!!!!!! NB: This is not a fake engagement, we are real tourist/customers

  • 1/5 Kyle E. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for lunch on the rooftop with a reservation. Ordered 3 starters. 2 of them were completely wrong. Ordered drinks and waited nearly 40 mins for them to be delivered. There were only 5 other tables accounted for. Horrendous service.

    Unfortunately this place was style over substance. A really cool setting in central Bordeaux sees the bottom floor of the hotel transformed into restaurant, bar, entertainment and meeting space. Unfortunately, on Sunday, the surroundings didn’t match the service. This can be a terrible time to visit as less busy services can often lead to sleepy, inattentive staff. A couple were left waiting to be seated by the door for upward of ten minutes before making their way to the bar and the team member on duty finally seating them. It was hard to watch. A lukewarm but tasty starter of stuffed mushroom arrived. The cocktails were ok - nothing to blow you away and actually had a bit of a strange smell (perhaps the dehydrated fruit?). My onglet / bavette style minute steak was cooked very well and frites were obviously made in house but lacked the crunch I was hoping for. My dinner guest sent his sirloin back. It was cold! We have had many rare thick cuts that were not cold so it was disappointing. When it returned, there was what looked like a hair in the frites. I can only put this down to a stray bit of brush but who knows. Off putting. Also, the dish still wasn’t hot. We ordered a second round of drinks that never arrived. In total there were a maximum if 10 tables. Our server was good but a little slow and not at all engaging. It was the other member of the floor team, responsible for greeting and seating, dropping the check and assisting on the floor who wasn’t on his a game that night. Disappointing overall experience as we had a perfect experience in Paris many years ago.

    Nice location and staff. All together average and overpriced at 169 Euro on Saturday. No shampoo in the room, aircon does not work in the room. Rooftop terrace closes Saturday at 23.00. Breakfast average at best.

  • 1/5 Iñigo 1 year ago on Google
    Worst welcome ever at a hotel! Not only I was charged 900e in my CREDIT card as preauth but also they pretend to pay in advance 2 NIGHTs meaning 500e more. Apparently it does not show up in their System so we cannot access our room and we are invited to walk around the City until all is solved… their problem but on us… here clients are last and no trust! For 260e per NIGHT you will surely find better places and friendly treatment somewhere else un the City!

    Prolonged wait on arrival, staff were talking around the corner so the bouncer had to get them - we saw others waiting by the door on arrival for longer than we did. And then it got worse: Cocktail made of tomato juice, vodka, worcestershire sauce, lemon juice etc (Google won’t let me name it) had all the flair of a slice of a piece of bread. Starter of stuffed mushroom lukewarm. Ordered steak medium rare, came rare (which I don’t mind) but was cold in the middle, asked for it to be warmed up and came a little less rare even though waiter claimed it was medium and still lukewarm. Ordered 2 drinks which never materialised, the restaurant was practically empty (5 tables) but still everything took an age including the bill which was the icing stolen off the cake as I was dying to get out of there. It gets 1 star as the live music was good.

    Had an amazing time thanks to Louise at the reception who was a darling !!! 5 stars for her . The room was nice a bit noisy on the roadside as the windows don't cut out any sound, but all around a nice place definitely would recommend

    Really trendy hotel. A great experience. Easy going friendly staff. Nice bar and restaurant. Strongly recommend.

  • 4/5 Alaykka F. 2 years ago on Google
    The room is beautiful (except for the area with the microwave and fridge) and the service is excellent. The food is so-so in general, but the Tarte Banoffee is absolutely delicious. I stayed here on a business trip and booked a Medium Mama room, but the hotel willingly gave me and my colleagues room upgrades to a Large Mama room. That was quite nice. Thanks for having us!

    (Translated by Google) Top ! Super cool place to eat and have a drink at a reasonable price, everything comes together for a good time with, as a bonus, good sound spinning. (Original) Top ! Endroit super cool pour manger comme pour boire un verre à prix raisonnable, tout est réuni pour un bon moment avec, en prime, du bon son qui tourne.

  • 5/5 Nikola H. 2 years ago on Google
    The rooftop bar is unbelievable. The staff is very friendly and speaking English. The cocktails are TOP! View and decorations are cool and welcoming. Shame it opens after 4:30PM.

  • 5/5 Kyle F. R. 2 years ago on Google
    Rooftop bar was great. The staff are super friendly and offered great suggestions on things to do in the area. If you have the chance, ask Alex the bartender to make you his famous cow drink that he discovered in Milan. It was the best cocktail I had in Bordeaux!

  • 5/5 Maytal M. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to the rooftop bar with my friends at sunset and it was really nice! There was a good vibe to the place and it's perfect to go out with friends , they have a good selection of cocktails, wines and beers. The food is a bit pricey and very small portions but all in all a nice place to go with the sunset!

  • 4/5 Christian K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location and very trendy design. Nice staff. Rooms are spacious. On the down side the streets are noisy and you need to sleep with closed windows. Breakfast buffet is really good and offers a large variety a food

    5 stars for the service from Varsha, we were not sure if we want to have a drink at the bar but her bubble personality and patience helped us find the bar and also buy gifts from the gift shop! Thanks so much for helping us in English

    It was very delirious and the people were nice. There was live bad that was playing during our dinner but it was chill music. The interior was making me feel like home

    Nice hotel, Super staff, good location. I tasted the chicken of the super sunday : so ggggooooooodddddd….I will comeback to Bordeaux just for that ( when I could)

  • 5/5 Viet Bui X. 2 years ago on Google
    We stayed here for two nights. Unusual perfect blend of a small but beautifully decorated room and a rooftop bar that welcomes both a trendy crowd and tourists that just want to have a nice time without any fuss. The staff were very friendly and helpful. And the location is perfect to discover Bordeaux on foot. Go for it!

  • 5/5 Amanda B. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff at Mama Shelter were truly helpful when we arrived at 7pm after 9 hours of driving requiring three rooms after a supposed booking elsewhere hadn't actually been made. We were made to feel welcome and not at all an inconvenience. The three rooms were comfortable and clean. We enjoyed much appreciated drinks on the rooftop bar before having a great nights sleep in preparation for another long day of driving. Special thanks to Agathe and a chap we have forgotten the name of but we think it began with C!

    Had a drink on the top, great views, very busy but it's a can't miss. We spent the night there, the room was large as was the bathroom. Good breakfast. In the protected area of Bordeaux so you can walk around in the evening.

  • 5/5 Mélissa O. 2 years ago on Google
