What guests think

At Mama Shelter Bordeaux Centre, reviewers highlight a central, lively stay with friendly staff, playful design, and a popular rooftop bar, while noting compact, basic rooms and occasional issues with noise, maintenance, air conditioning, or limited natural light and views.

Breakfast and on-site dining receive frequent praise, though a few guests found restaurant service average. Cleanliness is generally good but some report worn shower grout or hair left in bathrooms. The immediate area can feel less welcoming at night, and access by car or parking can be inconvenient. Expect a stylish, social base with straightforward rooms.

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.

Les Mama shelter avec un look toujours original souffrent tous de problème de conception pratique dont manque de luminosité, Green washing, manque de prises électriques, objets à angles vifs où l’on peut facilement se blesser, disposition chambres.et éclairage peu pratique à utiliser… tout ça dans les chambres, tarifs disproportionnés aux bars et restaurants, Parkings complet rapidement et information d’accès parkings public insuffisantes Literies moins bonnes qu’au premier séjour dans Mama Shelter: Bof !

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.

The breakfast was really good. The staff was amazing and very helpful. The rooms are a bit small and there’s no coffee in the rooms but it’s France and the coffee is easy to get downstairs

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!

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.
