I was there for a professional event. The staff was always extremely friendly, on all occasions. The area where we stayed to work was ok - some chairs and sofas, nothing particularly fancy, nothing too bad. The restrooms were clean overall but smelled particularly bad. The bedroom was ok - the deco is hit and miss and I personally don't like it. The fact that there is no light in the main area of the bedroom or by the bed is a puzzling choice - there was only a light in the entrance of the room and in the corner where the hangers were located. There was no shampoo in the bathroom, only a bar of soap. We had one seated lunch in the restaurant, and one buffet the next day where we were working. The seated lunch was ok - the pasta salad was great as a starter, but then the chicken was pretty ok and the eggplant was quite bad. The tiramisu was very average. Overall very meh. The buffet was a lot of breaded foods (including a small brioche-like bun with a sausage inside, some veggie wraps, a savory type of muffin with cheese/dried tomatoes) along with some veggies and fruits. Breakfast - on the other hand - was spectacular!

Located away from downtown in an area with not much to see. Facility is ok, young style, easy. Breakfast is varied but quality globally low. We have been there during a fair without knowing, so pricing was not balanced with real service offered. Staff to be improved

The whole staff was always very helpful and friendly. The only “bad” thing was that we had to ask twice for an additional towel (we were 3 people in the room and booked for 3 people). The first time we asked for it and got it right away but after the cleaning crew passed through, the 3rd towel was removed so we had to ask for it again.

It was my second stay in this hotel. I had been very satisfied with my first stay a year ago. However, this year, the experience was completely different. My room was located on the first floor, just above the music stage with loud music playing until late in the night. Thought when the party was over, I’d be able to sleep but that was without considering that they would get the place ready for breakfast, turning tables and chairs. Worst night ever.

I had a great stay at the Mama Shelter Lyon the night of Saturday, October 19, departing on Sunday, October 20. Upon arrival and check-in, I was told that my room would not be available until the 3PM check-in time, but the staff was accomodating in allowing me to park in the hotel's parking garage before I could enter the room. The hotel's an eclectic and hip mix of pop culture and design, earning its spot as a boutique hotel. Mama Shelter compares well to Moxy Hotels. I had a great night's stay at this location, with a wonderful buffet breakfast in the morning, which was an extra €21 on top of the room cost. For a quality hotel, that's not the standard, cookie cutter chain hotel experience, I recommend Mama Shelter Lyon.

Great stay, friendly staff! Andrei at reception was very helpful - Bar team always smiling! We had a good experience with you guys! Thank you for everything!

Nice hotel, would come back. Close to metro stop but for a tourist a bit far from the city centre. Small room but good for 1 person. Shower and bed good. Although shower temperature was not the easiest to arrange well. Appreciated the water pressure from the shower. Convenient sink with space to put your toiletries. Liked the little soap bar for hair and face to reduce plastic. Great that the room could be opened. Slept on the street side and too noisy to leave open at night. The room had a Microwave, no coffee/ tea facilities. The hotel bar is a place where you see young people and is fun. Didn’t have breakfast but looked good.
