"The first Mama Shelter was a bit of a curveball for Paris — a bit edgy, quite budget-friendly, and clearly aimed at an audience that cares more for a vibrant crowd and less for traditional luxury than your typical Parisian boutique-hotel customer. All of which make Marseille a perfectly sensible location for a sequel. The second Mama Shelter is a perfect fit for this diverse, colorful port city, and its location, in between the Old Port and the arty Cours Julien district, puts you equally close to the established tourist sites and the emerging cultural centers." - Tablet Hotels
