Nice hotel, really cool vibe, lovely staff. My room looked over some industrial fans out back, which was very loud and a bit annoying, but that’s not a huge issue. Biggest problem was the entire hotel reeks of truffle oil (from the restaurant), but to each their own.
Had a great stay here, room was large, comfortable and very clean. The rooftop can be pretty loud if you are a light sleeper, but we hardly noticed it.
This property has all the ingredients to be amazing.
What let’s it down is a few members of the team.
Breakfast: you have to ask for the room rate every morning otherwise the waiter at the buffet gets stroppy.
Coffee: sat down in a near empty restaurant and was asked to sit at the bar as ‘they might get a booking’. As the room was almost empty at 12:30 it was unlikely to have filled up in the time it takes to drink a coffee. Instead we left and went to a local coffee shop.
Roof bar does not serve the complimentary drinks, seems odd but that is the rules.
The amenities and room are lovely, front desk very helpful and the cleaning staff are so cheerful, a credit to the team.
Wish I could say I enjoyed my stay but sorry that’s just not the fact. Staff wasn’t helpful, the smell in the room was disgusting that I had to leave the window open for 2 hrs to get rid of it, bed was clean but everywhere else in the room was awfully dirty with dust and suspicious stains. And the noise - I don’t know if I was unlucky but there was clearly some sort of party outside on the street and there was very loud noise til midnight (or later). I hardly got any sleep that night. Rooftop view wasn’t amazing. I’m glad I stayed only for one night.
The staff is amazingly friendly, nice, & accommodating! The property is fun, Good vibe, well appointed, & nicely cared for. All in all a wonderful hotel and we plan to check out their other properties.

Staff was so helpful & gracious. Small rooms but clean and fun aesthetic. Walking distance to a beautiful park. Recommend.
Terrific quirky hotel. Brilliant staff and service. Small room but completely adequate and bathroom excellent. Breakfast really good. We are Msma Shelter converts now!!
Reception stuff was not professional, we had a group reservations and prepaid breakfast and they charged one of our guests not even double checked with the management if it was prepaid or not. We requested several times to make sure the guests are not being asked to pay but unfortunately doesn't work at the end.
Mama Shelter was a hip hotel with a nice restaurant and roof top bar. It’s definitely a solid 3 stars for lodging.
The pros: Check in was easy, the staff was super pleasant and we were lucky our room was ready a couple of hours before official check-in. I really liked the bathroom products - clean and eco friendly. The location is central, convenient to everything you need.
Cons: We chose a cozy room which was as stated- tiny. It was hard to have two half open suitcases. For a solo traveler, it would be more than sufficient though! When we walked into our room, it smelled like wet laundry that had been sitting out. I opened a window and it helped, but I think it was the bedding. We had a short two night stay so it was bearable with the windows open to air the room. Wish there were usb outlets since we only had 1 travel adapter.
Overall, it was a fine stay. I’d say the lodging and decor is skewed for a younger crowd.
