fantastic hotel and have stayed before great central location. Great pool sauna steam room facilities. amazing layout of hotel and rooftop bar with restaurant. Great courtyard to relax in the Sun. very safe and private location. I would say the only downfall to this hotel is no tea/coffee facilities or kettle in the room and towels and bottled water not refreshed daily. overall a fantastic hotel and would stay again. Big thanks to Emily and Julian for making our stair great.

Great location & amenities, minor hiccup

We had tried Mama Shelter in Dijon, and the one in Rennes didn't disappoint. Really great location and amenities. Minor thing to make it better from an inclusivity perspective is making it abundantly clear that when booking a slot at the pool, other people from other rooms can also book the same slot. Other venues with similar amenities make it clearer and it makes a world of difference. One of our party is autistic and went through the challenge of interacting with the staff member, purchased a pair of flip flop (mandatory gear), only to have to do a u-turn when reaching the pool and discovering there were other people there.

I did not like that the accomodation was very basic, definetly less than a 3* hotel. In the hotel itself the room was very basic more like a 2 strar, no toiletetrie not even a box of tissues. Then when I opened the bathroom door I smelled GAS ( yes like ccoking gas ). When I went to the reception to report I was told that there is NO WAY there is a scent of gas. Eventually the technician came up and he said indeed the smell might come form the extensive work done to enlarge the hotel probably for the pressure on the pipes. As yo can imagine after 18 hours of flying I di not expect such a problem. If possible I request a refund. Thank you! Professor Popa

This is a great hotel for its location and it's modern freshly refurbished state. The hotel provides a great hard product. However, the rooms miss very basic necessities from a 4 star hotel. For example, there is nothing but a bar of soap in the bathroom. This is unacceptable to me - i dont even use bar soaps at all as I don't find them hygienic. We had to share a single bar with my partner and needed to wash our hair with that. This was ridiculous. Also there is no tea coffee making stuff in the room. To relax with a cup of warm tea, you need to go to the bar and drink it after paying 4.5 euros for a cup of hot water. Even worse, there is not even a paper cup or glass cup in the room to drink some water. They left a small bottle of evian water for two people. I'm not sure why but there was a lot of dust in the room which we noticed looking into the lights. I felt congested from the dust each night I slept here. We didnt understand were the dust was coming from because the room was clean. But switching off the ventilation a bit helped a bit on our second and third night. maybe they need to check their ventilation filters. overall, while we really enjoyed the location and modern building/rooms, the basic services that you would expect from simple bed and breakfast hotels were missing. for this reason, we are not pleased with our stay.

Not what I signed up for…but that’s life!

I was really looking forward to my stay at Mama Shelter particularly for the amenities…which seem to champion eco friendliness over the comfort of the clientele. There is no hair conditioner (even upon request), which is not only a first in my Mama Shelter experiences but I find unacceptable for a 4 star hotel. The wonderful overhead shower heads lacked pressure because of a necessity to clean the calcification after a year and a half of operation… to the point where I actually would have done it myself if I was staying for more than a night. The staff was lovely, following their orders but all issues were simple met with “that’s our culture at Mama Shelter” which, from my experience, is not entirely true so felt like a bit of a cop out. The cocktail on the rooftop was definitely the highlight. I had to send my steak back to be cooked a little (ordered at rare/medium rare it came out still breathing and poorly presented). The staff though were very kind and accommodating to the best of their abilities! I appreciated their efforts to rectify my complaint with a late check out as well as rescheduling my hour in the spa, because apparently at this spa/pool they allow children to run free so it’s not the relaxing environment it could be. The breakfast definitely compensated for the above hiccups and the kindness of the staff of course who was just doing their job as best they could. Although I don’t know if I will stay at Mama Shelter again if this is their new “culture”.
