Mama Shelter Hotel, Los Angeles

Rooms decorated nicely in music and movie themes, comfy bed, ample power outlets in bathroom and near bed, plenty of table/shelf space (no drawers or much hanging space though), good breakfast options and big rooftop bar.

Popular rooftop bar so quite often you were battling queues of bar customers to get to the lifts in the small reception area. Close to transport and tourist attractions but Hollywood location can be sketchy sometimes.

Staff was very friendly and the restraunt was amazing! Some of the best cocktails and food we had during our trip and we ate at a lot of places! The bed was

Good location. We knew it was going to be super noisy from the previous review so that wasn’t an issue.

There was a light in our room that was placed real silly and we kept hitting our heads on it.

Restaurants and bars.

The bathroom was very strange without a tub or shower door. Never seen anything like it. Very caught off guard and confused by it.

Centrally located which makes going into work super easy! The staff were SO so good, they always remembered me and everyone was so kind.

The carpets- guys, you have GOT to get the stains sorted, it’s gross.

Great location! Great people!

staff and location

hotel has a roof and we decided to have some drink at our last night bu we learned that there was a private party that night and we are not allowed to go up😡our last night was terrible so we stayed at oyr room all night😬how is it possible!!!!!!!so do not advertise that hotel has a roof and roof bar if we are not able to use.last night was bed.I do not know how was is and whether they had parties on the other nights becouse I was nıt at tha hotel.so I used no facilities at the hotel.

Helpful & courteous staff, walking distance to The Hollywood Walk of Fame & The Sunset Boulevard. Great eating options nearby. Clean room and an overall relaxed atmosphere in the Hotel.

Rooms are a little small as are the bathrooms.

Clean spacious rooms and the beds were really very good. The restaurant on the ground floor is nice, good options, all very fresh, good healthy choices.

Later in the day they had this weird thing going on where they had someone basically blocking the access to the elevator to go to your room. I think it's because they try to control the access to the rooftop, but the way they handle it towards guests that stay in the hotel could be more friendly. We had a room on the top floor and there is a lot (!) of noise from the rooftop and it goes on quite late. There does not seem to be any noise canceling insulation in that building. I would stay again, but definitely demand a room away from that rooftop.

A great little funky hotel in downtown LA! The room was clean, comfortable and had fun, quirky touches. Despite booking one of the cheaper 'mountain view' rooms, we found ourselves with glimpses of the Hollywood sign. The bar on the roof was awesome, with fantastic views and great cocktails (and the Boujee fries were delish!). The staff were without fail, friendly, professional and welcoming and the breakfast was one of the best we'd had in our five week stay in the US.

There was a bit of noise from the rooftop bar (we were on the fifth floor, so just underneath) but the bed was so comfy we fell asleep quickly anyway.

Rooftop bar had great food. Decor in the rooms was nice. Bar and restaurant downstairs were very good.

Room was a little bit small. Nowhere to open the suitcases without them being in the way.

The room was excellent and the restaurant was great. really enjoyed my breakfast each day and the staff were very cool and friendly.

The overall location is a bit down at heel. The area is a little sketchy and needs some attention but I guess that’s not the fault of the Hotel. The rooms are not very well sound proofed, given that the rooftop bar sort of operates as a club. It’s cool on the nights you want to do that but if you’re a bit jet lagged and need some sleep, there is a bit of a loud noise situation.

Like the location. Room small but very comfortable.

There seems to be a trend in hotels with not having any storage (drawers) for clothes. I don’t get it. Even if staying a just a few days, it’s nice to be able to unpack. Feels like form over function.

Loved the decor of the entire hotel, so fun and vibrant. The room, although kind of small, had everything we needed and was really cool. The only complaint I think we would have and it's not that big of a deal is the bathroom sink situation. It is long and sticks out and would have been better for the small room to have been horizontal with the wall rather than vertical. But it was fine none the less. Everyone that we came across was so friendly and helpful. We used the valet a lot and they were great too. Wish we could have enjoyed the rooftop patio, we did go look at it in the morning but it wasn't open, would have been a great place for breakfast/brunch because it is really pretty and has great views. Cool touch of adding the Darth Vader masks on the lights for May the 4th. We will stay again, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Just the sink situation and if you would get rid of the amenity fee....not sure what amenities that covers.

Nice location when you want to visit the city, close to everything. Room was clean and comfortable.

The hotel is also a bar and has a rooftop open to the public -this results in a lot of noise at night especially for rooms closer to the rooftop. We paid for breakfast included but actually they give you a card to choose 1 option every day (out of 3 which are always the same - either a plate with eggs and bacon/bread OR a burrito OR pancakes + black coffe). If you want any other type of coffee besides black coffee or juice or fruit or anything else is all paid - we wish we had known this before we booked it since for us it made more sense to go outside and have more choice. In 5 days it becomes very repetitive. When we arrived to do check in no one explained the basic things of the hotel (time for breakfast, how did it worked, opening hours etc). Overall we felt the service was not really good especially for a 4 star hotel which was not that cheap.

The staff were amazing. Friendly and welcoming. The roof top bar is a gem and the old school hollywood vibe of the property made you feel like you were in Hollywood as opposed to a generic chain hotel. I enjoyed the movies scripts in the room, nice touch there/

The building is older so the elevator is slow....like really slow. But we were able to take the stairs so not a deal breaker.

Bar and Restaurant

Nice, clean room

Soundproofing is bad and can get noisy

It’s delightfully quirky and cool.

The bar closed earlier than advertised even though we were guests. the bar serve was also very slow.

amazing location, staff are great, rooms are great, overall the vibe at this boutique hotel is great. in future this will now be where I spend my first 3 days acclimating in LA when first arriving to CA from my country. great spot.

walls are paper thin, truly. if someone is above you or beside you, you’ll hear them.

the room are very clean and large

-no chromecast in the room -no room service -no water fountain -the rooftop opens at 12pm (too late)

Fun and funky hotel with a really nice vibe. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking is not on-site but is very close by (one block away). The room was great with plenty of space. The bed was super comfortable.

location is great

no coffee only early in the morning parking is no close

Good location near/in Hollywood. Good size beds that were comfortable.

It was a little too close to the clubs and wasn’t exactly appropriate for families. The restaurant seemed a bit overpriced, particularly in the evening. The inbuilt 18% tip took away from the quality of the service.

the bed was comfortable!

One of the beds was not made when I arrived to the room.
