Mama Shelter London - Shoreditch

The staff was very helpful when I had trouble with my room. I was staying for 7 nights, so they gave me a new room. The location on the east side was very convenient as the bus stop (26, 55) was outside. It was a lively hotel. The bar and breakfast area was always active. There is a lot of areas to work and to hang out. The room was big, the bed was comfy, it was very clean and quiet.

The decor of the hotel is cool and very Instagrammable. My room looked exactly like in the pictures and was very clean. The room had the necessities for a comfortable stay like a mini fridge and a safety box. Apparently the area of the hotel has had a bit bad reputation earlier, however during my stay the area seemed safe and pleasant even at night time. There are lots of little shops and restaurants near the hotel. The bus stops (Pritchard's Road) for bus routes 55 and 26 are pretty much next to the hotel. The bus ride to more central London will take around 20-40 minutes. The tube from Bethnal Green station is faster, but it will take around 10 minutes to walk to the station. The restaurant area of the hotel has a cool maximalist look, it was nice eating the breakfast there! There was a range of free movies and other stuff on the TV in the room.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The room was spotless and well-maintained, which made me feel right at home. The staff was incredibly welcoming and always ready to assist with a smile, making my stay even more enjoyable. The food was another highlight – delicious and with a good variety to choose from! Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely consider staying here again!

The building is cool, I like the design. Love the big communal downstairs restaurant/bar/work space. The room itself was pretty nice size and the bed was comfy. Location is pretty good, but it's more Hackney than Shoreditch. This was my second stay there, and I would likely stay there again.

The location is ideal for visiting Shoreditch. The hotel is smart and modern with a very decorative ground floor - though I'm not sure what the theme is meant to be. Post-modern quirky, maybe - it's certainly not a boring, conventional hotel style. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming, making checking in a pleasure - which doesn't often happen. My room was very comfortable and quiet - even with the window open. I'd not comes across Mama Shelter before and wasn't aware that it's an Accor brand but I will look out for other Mama Shelter hotels in future, based on my experience here.
