About this place Mama Shelter Marseille

Mama Shelter Marseille is the city's most consistently recommended hotel for gay travellers who want a central location with genuine design credentials. Situated on Rue de la Loubière in the 6th arrondissement — on the edge of the Cours Julien neighbourhood — it is a short walk from the gay bars in the 1st arrondissement and the bohemian queer-friendly bars and restaurants around Cours Julien itself. The hotel is designed with Philippe Starck's characteristically irreverent aesthetic: bold graphics, unexpected materials, and rooms that manage to be individual without being difficult to sleep in. The rooftop terrace with views over the city is one of the best hotel terraces in Marseille. The restaurant and bar are social spaces open to non-guests. Gay-friendly in the full sense — this is a hotel that understands its LGBTQ+ guests and serves them without making a performance of doing so.

Do not stay here if you want to sleep! The walls are thin, it’s a party-esque hotel with bars on either side. Super noisy!

Excellent! The pasta shells were superb and perfectly prepared. The setting is pleasant, and the service is great too. I highly recommend this place in Marseille.

Loyal customer. Very disappointed after someone at the bar vacuumed and cleaned twice for half an hour, causing me to sneeze. No one took this into account, nor my allergy to these products, and I had to leave. The housekeeper spoke to me very rudely. Apparently, this hotel prefers its cleaning staff to the guests who come to eat every day. I will not be returning.

We spent two nights at this hotel, which is about a 20-minute walk from the Old Port. Be aware, the route isn't flat! A small breakfast is also available with two different options: one for €21 and another for €10, which includes just a hot drink and pastries. The hotel is very quiet, and the cleanliness is impeccable.
