From the moment you arrive Mama Shelter has a pulse in the heart of old Rennes. If you have time check out the spa & remember to book beforehand. It's great and the restaurant / rooftop bar is a must.

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”.

Great hotel - would stay again
Great hotel. Lots of amenities such as restaurants, bars, pool, gym and karaoke. Lovely well decorated, clean rooms with comfortable beds. Great safe and central location. Only minor negative (not worth any stars as you can read the reviews and prepare in advance) is not providing toiletries in the name of being eco friendly - however I think this worsens the environmental impact as visitors probably end up buying individual items and throwing them when you could have a refillable dispenser. Also a bit contradictory as they give you body cream? Just worth a mention for the hotel to pick up - but as I say it was a lovely, modern, comfortable, high quality and reasonably priced hotel which I would definitely stay at again.

where is Mama?
Mama left the house, leaving the children in charge. I adored the energy and enthusiasm of the staff but they were so young that at multiple time I received an awful client service (I had to interrupt the waitress while what sapping at the bar after waiting for 20 min, one of a few more example)

Is worst stay we had experienced as seasonal traveller for biz and leisure. The hotel does not provide basic amenities which you should have even from 1-2 stars hotel. We seriously wonder how this hotel is rated as 4 star and charged the rate they do when they provided worse services and amenities for hotel guests. Hotel charge guest on tooth brush and toothpaste and charge on slippers. Worst above all, no water kettle in the room as it was claimed only for executive room guests.. so any hot water needs get yourself from the bar. Again, a good excuse to charge you for coffee since none hot water nor coffee provided in room. And instead of proper hair shampoo n conditioner, one tiny soap is provided for body wash and hair wash!! The breakfast is crap, we staying 5 nights and everyday same food no a single change. Unlike most of true 3-4 star hotels, there some effort made to change menu for bf for some. There also list of safety hazards, when took hot water downstairs, they let you carry super hot water in a tin pot which can burn ur hand in 30 sec w hot water inside. Bf Restaurant has low hanging light just hit ur head every time u sit n stand up… I do want to say the staff is relatively responsive but unfortunately all the poor policy mama shelter decided for their guests on amenities show little care for customer just all about making money and profit. It left super bad taste not just to us but all friends staying the same hotel with us. We will ban this chain n brand

The most beautiful people work at this hotel, beautiful both inside and out. I felt truly cared for and safe and even loved. The hotel was top notch and classy without being unfriendly or snobby, the interior decor of the room was beyond gorgeous. The entire experience of staying at Mama Shelter brought me joy. I highly recommend it.

Great please very high end for the area, very good location basically in the middle of everything, cab will drop you off in the public parking lot 10 meters for the main entrance, security at the doors in the evening huge court yard with out door seating, secret bar open late. All access to the floors is by room card only so nice and safe. Pool is by reservation only so make it at time of check in it’s very nice and clean so is the sauna. Rooftop restaurant is also very cool DJ and blah blah blah very trendy. If you have small kids make sure to put the child lock on the tv as all the movies are free including some the kids shouldn’t be watching. We went with 2 kids (pre teen and teen) they enjoyed. Also by the check in desk there are some items for sale for adults so just keep to you left when you walk to the elevators, 50 euro a night deposit ***, no shampoo provided no nose napkins soap was there this not an issue there is a mini mart 2 min away or take some with you. Every Saturday huge massive farmers market basically at the entrance to the hotel absolutely amazing, raw seafood, fruits veggies and so much more. At the other end cooked foods cold cuts and breads, baked goods
