We are in our 50 and this is a very funky hotel - we didn't feel out of place for a minute. We loved it. Polished concrete and Apple TV, very clean and comfortable. Only thing was there wasn't much around it, but if you wlk for about 15 - 20 minues you will find lots to look at. We... More

From the minute we stepped inside this hotel, we could tell that it was very different to most other hotels. The lobby is small but full of interesting furniture and things to look at. The staff on reception were very helpful and welcoming. The bedroom is very different to any other hotel room I have ever seen! The walls are... More

what a lovely hotel in the best place of Europeans culture capital of 2013. You can have a drink at the bar with overhead live belts , you can sit at the Mac and check your mails like in an Arabian Souk . When you wake up tell the hotel staff "Mama please clean my room" Later you can better... More

Mama Shelter provides an interesting, novel and memorable hotel experience. We got an amazing deal (49 Euros/night) and spent the weekend. The room was clean, we took full advantage of the iMac in the room with free movies, and the bed was very comfortable. The location of the hotel is good, being a 15 minute walk to Le Vieux Port....

We had a wonderful stay at Mama Shelter. The room was spacious and clean (we also very much enjoyed the free movies), the staff was superfriendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. I'm a little bit surprised that other reviewers mentioned that the neighbourhood is not that great. The hotel is actually located just outside the centre of Marseille... More

This is a great choice for a stay in Marseille, particularly for those who enjoy modern, trendy hotels. The rooms are quite modern with the concrete ceilings and walls, however it was also quite fun and quirky, with very comfy beds and a powerful shower (which did go a bit hot-cold). In response to a point on the last review,... More

Well I'm going to kind of buck the trend of the glowing reviews about Mama Shelter. It was OK... nothing more than that and a few points that need to be looked at. I got a really good rate for this hotel with the new year offer on the Mama website of a certain amount of rooms at only €49... More

The hotel is very funky and very artsy. Great decoration, the iMacs in the rooms and around the hotel. Good Wifi. Fantastic buffet breakfast, especially for France. Extremely clean rooms and hotels. It is spotless and the staff is very friendly. The garage is a little pricey (50 Euros for 3 nights), but is worth it. The hotel is a... More

Small but cozy modern rooms, iMac at the wall with free movies (and even with the possibility to snap a pic of yourself with the iSight camera for the posterity). Good breakfast and good prices. Definitely a place worth checking out.
