Fun and very thoroughly themed. The room (twin) was very clean and everything worked as expected. Location is outstanding – less than 10 minutes walking to either Broadway or Columbia Road markets and Regent's Canal, and not far from the Tube and busses. Lots of excellent food options all around and a well appointed breakfast buffet. Don't miss Ozone Coffee Roasters right across the street if coffee is important to you.

Very cool, funky hotel. So many fun and unique design features. Rooms are small but comfortable. Love the focus on eco-friendliness. Breakfast was great. Staff very kind and helpful. Only slight criticism, this doesn’t really feel like shoreditch (it seems like in the last ten years the borders of shoreditch have expanded exponentially). It’s about a 20-30 minute walk to Brick Lane, Shoreditch High Street, Spitalfields Market. Still very happy with my stay.

We had a fantastic stay during the Easter break (2 adults/2 children) the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We received an upgrade on our booking which was a blessing to have an additional bathroom with 2 teen girls. Mama got that memo!! Food in the hotel was excellent, huge portions and great value. Loved the decor. We felt we were in walking distance to where we wanted to be. Can’t wait to stay again.

The property is genuinely amazing, it has character in abundance. It's like the model Citizen M wants to be! It's slightly out of the way and therefore I would suggest a taxi / uber would be desirable, even sensible of an evening... I'll be back!

Poor service.
Loved our stay at Mama Shelter however the service in the restaurant/bar was incredibly disappointing. On both evenings we felt that we were bothering the staff by asking to order some food and drinks. On the second night specifically we were ignored by wait staff for 20 minutes. Feeling invisible in a restaurant is never nice. I had to order myself from the bar, set the table, pour water and we were still charged service charge for two appetizers... really left a sour taste. The restaurant was not closed as another couple came in after our food arrived with a child and were given full service on the next table. Won't be returning because of this. Apart from that, rooms, reception were great.
