Mama Shelter Dijon

“A lot to like”

I usually stay at La Cloche Dijon which is nearby, and very much a 'grande dame' compared to this hip/modern vibe. I had also stayed at one Mama Shelter before (Lyon) and found it more basic, and the sex toys in reception schtick a bit icky. This one in Dijon is a beautiful property - fun without… lisää

I usually stay at La Cloche Dijon which is nearby, and very much a 'grande dame' compared to this hip/modern vibe. I had also stayed at one Mama Shelter before (Lyon) and found it more basic, and the sex toys in reception schtick a bit icky. This one in Dijon is a beautiful property - fun without being too alienating. It is also in a great location (lots of local restaurants nearby). The rooms, breakfast, dining, staff were all great. A big plus for me was that you can also book an electric car parking space in advance, whereas La Cloche is first come first served (which is next to useless when you have an electric car). Strongly recommend.

“It makes an impression!”

Cool and funky, Mama Shelter was a unique experience. First to hit you is their decor- eclectic, with artsy patterns and bold designs, very different from your standard hotel, but in a good way.

Cool and funky, Mama Shelter was a unique experience. First to hit you is their decor- eclectic, with artsy patterns and bold designs, very different from your standard hotel, but in a good way. Service was excellent, breakfast of high quality and the rooms spacious. I did not partake in the karaoke rooms, but thought it a novel idea. I did have fun playing pinball in the lobby. I was happy to discover this hotel chain and due to this experience will seek it out in my future travels!

My wife and I stayed for the Halloween weekend. The hotel was in walking distance from the train station but off the main tourist areas. The hotel had a 'funky vibe' with pinball machines, foosball tables and a cool decor. There was a loud party going on in the restaurant but we heard nothing in our room above it. This is a great hotel for couples and families.

“Spacious family setup a playful, party-leaning vibe”

We stayed at Mama Shelter Dijon in a family room configuration, which was essentially two adjacent rooms connected behind a shared hallway door. This made for a very spacious and practical setup, especially for a family, and worked well overall. The hotel has a very distinct personality: casual, laid back, and clearly trying to be fun. The lobby and common areas have a dark, disco-like aesthetic, with pinball machines in the reception area and a generally playful, youthful energy. There are handwritten messages in colorful marker on the mirrors throughout the rooms, which adds to the concept. It’s definitely “a vibe,” but one that leans more toward a party atmosphere, so it depends on whether that aligns with what you’re looking for. That said, some of the design choices felt a bit off. Our room had carnival-style masks placed around the bedside lamps, which seemed intended to be whimsical but came across as slightly spooky and out of place. The rooms themselves were comfortable and, importantly, quiet. Beds were good, though the room temperature ran a bit cold during our stay. The bathroom setup is minimal, with a single all-in-one bottle for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, which may not appeal to everyone. The location is convenient (right at the edge of the pedestrian shopping area in downtown Dijon), making it easy to walk to restaurants and explore the city. Paid parking available underneath the building. Overall, a decent option if you’re looking for space and don’t mind (or actively enjoy) a bold, playful hotel concept. Best suited for those who appreciate a more energetic, design-forward environment rather than a traditional or understated stay.
