    Being in the old town it is inaccessible to Uber-like transportation but taxis can get to it. The tram stations are a bit of a walk if you're over 70. The music is often too loud in the morning and at dinner.

    Had a nice funky vibe and a nice rooftop bar. The staff were very helpful and informative. The bed was large and comfortable with many alternatives for lighting effects.

    Microwave- what purpose does it serve? No way to use it in your room no cups, coffee, utensils etc. Bathroom needed mould treatment Brunch was expensive for what it was. Food quality was low for the price.

    Fun vibe. Good music. Liked how the tall tables lighting made the space feel more intimate despite being in a huge room. Pet friendly- yay!

    I don't think that anything needs improving.

    I liked the communal space on the entrance level. It felt very welcoming at all times. Our room was very small but had everything you need. The location is very central in Bordeaux and made it very easy to walk all over town. There were plenty of eating opportunities near by. We also had dinner and breakfast at the Mama Shelter and it was good. I would consider staying in other Mama Shelters in the future.

    The deco is surprising when you enter the hotel but the room is very comfortable, clean and quiet. The staff is extremely polite and very professional. The location is excellent in a nice area of Bordeaux. I recommend this hotel 100%

    The hotel is very well located and the rooms were nice. The restaurant in the rooftop is also amazing. We tried every meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) even though they are very busy and require reservations for dinner they were very nice to sit us for a quick dinner on a busy night without reservation.

    There aren't any tea/coffee facilities in the room. That is the only negative I found.

    The location of the hotel is fantastic - right in the heart of the city yet very quiet at night. The rooftop bar was a fantastic bonus and the staff were all very friendly.

    For two guests, not enough towels. Also, it would be nice to find Kleenex box and mineral water.

    Our room on the 3rd floor, nr. 314, had a fantastic large window with beautiful view on old roofs and sky, with trillions of swallows flying agains light blue background - amazing, this window right in front of the bed! The shower was great: strong water jet, no leaking into the bathroom. 'Real' soap. Breakfast on the roof: beautiful view, nice atmosphere, good food (self-made veggy juice appreciated) and sympathetic staff.

    Sometimes I thought we spoke with the personnel on different languages, they seemed a bit laid-back and sometimes ignorant.

    The hotel has nice design and interesting concept. The rooms were clean, and the breakfast was great. Free infusion water at reception. It has a rooftop bar.
