We absolutely loved our stay at Mama Shelter Nice. Would come back again and again. The rooms, the decor, the staff, the meals, the pool. It was all brilliant. We are travelling with our elderly father and everyone made his stay so pleasant, including giving us an upgrade so he could have his own room. It was a generous gesture and a huge win for us all. Thank you one million times.

Love Mama Shelter, have stayed at several. The staff were lovely, room great but the pool area was often left messy and is small so needs to be kept on top of, unfortunately the pool was also out of order on one day of out stay. Location was great.

A quiet, clean, comfortable hotel that is close to a train station. There is a Carre Four express across the street. All of the staff were polite, helpful and willing to listen to my attempts as speaking French. A bit quirky with masks of Looney Tune characters on the lamps in the rooms. Only 4* for the are because the restaurant selections within a 10’ walk were not plentiful. I would definitely stay here again

Love the stay at Mamas. This was my first time and will definitely come back again. The staff was polite, informative and helpful. The hotel itself was very fun and nice in design. It’s different in a very good way! The breakfast could vary a bit, but it’s fine if you don’t stay here too long.

We loved how reliable Mama Shelter was for our trip. Kataryna is fantastic! with great knowledge of fun things to do for night life & Simon with great outdoor recommendations! This is a brand new property so everything was clean and new which was very nice. Location has a very local vibe near to highway so good of your driving to Monaco or Canne. You can walk to the port in 10 minutes which was great. We would for sure stay in Mama Shelter again!

Hi I check in and my room was extremely hot and was told that is the law and temperature can't be adjusted. When I asked to see a different room it was cooler. I asked for someone to bring me a key since I was gathering my items in my original room I was told I need to come downstairs until I believe the manager heard my conversation. It was poorly handle and in other hotels they would offered to take care of moving my room. Just don't think u handle it correct.

Needs work

Stayed for a long weekend. The beds are very comfy and the hotel is very clean. However there were lacking basic facilities, such as a kettle, glasses or cups in rooms, there was no minibar or room service so if you wanted a drink in the evening you had to go into the loud hotel bar / club. The bathroom only provided bars of soap to wash with so we had to purchase our own products. Considering the high price you pay to stay in the hotel, you’d expect a better level of service and quality. As well as this, when we checked in the other customers who checked in immediately after us were given the same room number so entered our room unannounced not knowing where they were meant to go.
