I stayed at Mama Shelter for a weekend to celebrate my birthday.They staff was friendly, and the location is good. I personally really like that area close to Broadway Market and Regent’s Canal.The rooms are small, but you know that when you book the hotel. I like the quirky decor, and the amenities.They have a restaurant/bar with options for breakfast and snack. I ended up having two small plates for lunch. They were good, while being a little pricey. Was a bit surprised with how much oil dripped from my chips when I put them in a plate.There is a nice desk for you to work from.I only have two wishes:1) wish there was a way to keep the bathroom door open, it gets a bit steamy in there and at least in my room the vent didn’t work.2) wish there was a spot to put luggage in the room so it’s easier to go through clothes etc. I personally don’t put dirty luggage on the clean bed. 😂I would come back and visit other locations.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel and my experience was truly exceptional. Initially, I was apprehensive about entering an unfamiliar place, but my concerns were quickly alleviated by the warm and reassuring welcome from the Colombian employee at the front desk. His kindness and understanding made me feel much safer and set a positive tone for my entire stay.The hotel itself is incredibly wonderful and exudes a homely atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable and well-maintained, and the overall ambiance is inviting and cozy. The staff's attentiveness and friendliness further enhanced my experience, making it a memorable and enjoyable stay. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a safe, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay. Thanks again Brian

This hotel is absolutely perfect. The lobby area is so stylish, the staff are friendly, it’s really close to the market with loads of cool coffee places near by. The best thing is the breakfast - there is literally anything you could want, I looked forward to it each morning. Will definitely be coming back!

The hotel is immaculate, really quirky in its design, and the staff were amazing; super helpful, and really friendly. The room was spacious, furnished to a high standard but also kept its individuality in its design choice, and we loved it! Bed was comfy, and it wasn’t particularly noisy considering our room overlooked the street. The bathroom was clean and well equipped with free wash stuff etc, an and the waterfall shower was lovely.We ate in the restaurant and the food was great.Thanks so much for a lovely stay :)

Firstly, I arrived to the beautiful entrance at the end of a very long, and challenging day - I was immediately excited to see all the curated beautiful details - even though I was very tired.I had forgotten my bank card at the location I was doing my workshop in Hackney, apple pay was not working. Michelle who was on reception was so kind, calm and considerate - & helped me resolve this right away, with no pressure.I checked in quicker, and with more ease all the same than in many places I have stayed in the past. Michelle then kindly upgraded me & provided me with a free drink as she could tell I had had a difficult day - this kindness, which speaks to the allowance for staff to do this - helped me so much to settle into a restful evening.In the end, I stayed in the entire evening - as I was so tired - but also this was definitely due to how comfortable and free I felt in the room. I was so happy to be in this warm, comfortable and fun space for myself.The decor and layout of the room had enough space to make it roomy- but cozy enough to feel like a sweet little nest for the evening.The addition of Tweety & Sylvester masks was just the icing on the cake - the cherry was the excellent selection of movies, radio stations and tv.I happily put on Jazz, Baroque, Pop - I browsed the specially curated Halloween movies - and ended up watching The Haunted Mansion -Mama Shelter really did provide me with a lovely, relaxing - & fun - shelter for the evening -In the morning I took a leisurely stroll in the neighborhood - where I found so many treasures, and ease to get around.When I returned before checkout - I headed to the bar to claim my free drink - a pineapple smoothie -I felt like a queen sitting in my rattan chair, in the bar area, with lovely plants - wonderfully decorated with Halloween bits & pieces - even took a selfie with the main man, Beetlejuice.The final kindness, and serendipity - was being served my deelish smoothie by someone from my own country -Northern Ireland - and having a nice chat :)It speaks a lot that kind, patient and friendly people choose to work in a place like Mama Shelter, and it only adds further to the beautiful atmosphere and environment.The overall impression I have is one of care, consideration, curation, curiosity, comfort and - joy - !Who would want more from a hotel stay, and a place to rest your head :)I will definitely be back -- I hope sooner rather than later!Thank you very much everyone I met at Mama Shelter :)

I had a great stay at Mama Shelter. Jasmine at the reception was very kind and helpful during check-in, setting the tone for a pleasant experience. The hotel’s ambience is lovely, with beautiful decorations throughout. Breakfast was superb with a great selection. Checkout with Fatimah was smooth and she was equally kind. Highly recommend Mama Shelter for its excellent service and charming atmosphere!

I just checked in today for my wife’s birthday. All of the staff are very welcoming and friendly, especially the staff that are working in the reception. Mr Mattia (manager) when he found that it was my wife’s birthday he booked us an amazing room plus booked me and my wife a table for dinner to make it extra special. Unforgettable experience and thank you for an amazing stay at Mama Shelter
