Mama Shelter Lisboa

"Fantastic hotel. Booked by my husband for a few days in Lisbon, was a bit worried it was too cool and funky for us, but it was lovely. Extremely large and super comfortable bed and pillows. Huge towels, great TV, fridge and safe in room and fabulous shower and bathroom facilities. Shampoo/body wash and hand cream provided and smelt lovely. Lots of lighting options and a big mirror. Limited storage but as we travelled hand luggage only this was fine. Very quiet and no noise from other rooms or bar. Didn't eat in restaurant but the pizzas looked amazing. We did have drinks in the bar and there was a big cocktail menu. Fab decor and always a buzz in the bar area. The location is slightly out of the centre but perfect for metro from Rato, or a tram through the old town too. Just at top of a main avenue and close to Wonderland Christmas market too so ideal location. There is a brilliant supermarket just across the road for pastries and lunches. It even has a coffee vending machine for a light breakfast. Smaller supermarket and cafes also nearby. Only downside to this hotel stay, there was a €50 charge placed on our card on arrival. Apparently this might take 2-3 weeks to return to my card. Never had this in a hotel before - would have been good to know on booking. (Had paid up front for room on booking) They did at least take the tourist tax out of this amount on the last day... Only other downside, and it's the same across Europe, but as a Brit, I love a hot drink when I wake up. I miss having a kettle for tea/coffee making in my room. There are plenty of cafes around but just having a cuppa after a shower would be a fabulous addition. That I would pay a deposit for! On the whole a great hotel, would highly recommend and definitely stay here again."

"We came on New Year's Eve Eve, and they place was decorated, vibrant and everyone was in a great mood! The food was delicious!!!!! (Pic) and the cocktails were even better! But I have to the staff here are unreal, we had Ali as our waiter and he was so so nice, recommended dishes, that were yummy! And definitely made our experience even more memorable! We decided we wanted to come back for the NYEs party they were throwing, but leaving it last minute, we thought, NO WAY! But Manuel & Ali, were fantastic, helped us throw the waiting list and now it's tonight and we are soo excited!! If you're looking for a cozy, romantic, fun experience for date night or friends night out, would absolutely come here!!!"

"I’ve booked this hotel because I had a concert in Lisbon and it’s near a metro station . The hotel itself is up hill with in walkable distance to different places in Lisbon like barrio alto , principe real and Avenida . The hotel decor is quirky and fun and the room was sufficient for me . The hotel has a roof top that has an amazing potential, but close to the winter Season . I loved the breakfast area , again so beautiful and good . The staff were so lovely , sorry I can’t remember their names , all young and attentive. Carolina and Claudio I remember, but all together the staff was so nice . Thank you Mama , I found my Mama in Lisbon ."
