“Mama Shelter Marseille has a cool, almost bohemian vibe going on, and I appreciate the Philippe Starck design touches, even if some past guests felt the execution missed a bit; location-wise, you're close to the Cours Julien district, and the MuCEM Museum which makes it great for urban exploring. I think this hotel would appeal to younger travelers seeking something different, if they don't mind a bit of noise in the morning.”
Anna BlackEditor-in-Chief at Tohotel
