The staff at Mama Shelter was amazing! The rooftop was the key highlight. Overall I think that it was pricy, but I suppose that the location justified the price. I would stay at Mama Shelter again

Think of this as an elevated youth hostel. The rooms have an eclectic, Hollywood inspired decor. The property though is showing signs of wear, with the slowest lift known to man, and some dingy corridors.
Housecleaning forgot to clean the rooms; the service is passable at best (though to the credit of the property they did follow up very quickly when notified of shortfalls).
The destination fee is a joke and needs to be removed.
If you’re looking for a functional “base”, it does offer good value for the area.

I will first say what I liked about this hotel 1. It's very well located, close to Hollywood Blvd, making it a good spot to visit touristic sites 2. The room was small but quite nice. Now onto what I didn't like about it 1. The hotel has an open air club in its rooftop that blasts music at full volume until late at night. We stayed in the second floor, which is the floor farthest from the club and the music was still very loud until really late (2 AM) which made sleeping very hard. I'm a very heavy sleeper, even sleeping through fire alarms with no problem and even I had a hard time with this. If you're a normal or light sleeper there's no way I'd recommend this hotel for you. 2. The entrance to the hotel at nights is full of people going to the club, with the hotel's lobby
(which is small) really crowded due to this 3. The outside of the hotel full of people smoking. 4. The restaurant in the hotel is too expensive and the food is not good. We had breakfast in there for two people and had 1 order of waffles and one bagel. The check came up to $55 and the food was rather bad. The food was presented impeccably, and looked too pretty, but when we ate the food we ended up leaving half of it because it was, honestly bad. We ate at a number of other places in LA for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and spent less for far tastier food. 4. The parking valet charges you $60 per day and is very understaffed, with only one driver, leading you to need to wait up to 1/2 hour to get your car

The rooms are clean and simple. The bed covered in comfortable linens and the mattress is very nice as well. The bathroom is bright and clean. The shower gets nice and warm water for the rain shower head and hand held shower head. We had a very nice stay and if we go somewhere with a mama shelter again would gladly stay again.

It's a chic hotel and a good spot if you like nightlife. That said, don't get a 5th floor room or 4th floor room on the west side of the building if you are sound sensitive sleeper -- its right under the DJ. The windows are fairly well proofed but it comes through the walls and ceiling. The looney tunes character masks on the lamps were a thematic, if a bit creepy, choice.

All excellent

I booked this hotel because of its proximity to Hollywood boulevard and because it looked kind of cool. I don’t know where those hip and cool rooms where but I wasn’t in one of them. It was rather basic and small. Because of the constant parties on the rooftop you better bring ear plugs to get some sleep before midnight. the rooftop is nice but the prices are ridiculous even coming from an expensive city myself (Zurich, Switzerland). The staff was semi helpful and friendly. Wouldn’t go there again but was ok-ish.

The staff here is outstanding - every member from the moment you walk in (the security guard and valet) to the front desk, and all the bar/kitchen staff have impeccable customer service. 10/10 for the amazing hospitality alone. The hotel property itself is fine. The rooms are small and very basic, and the property itself is noisy as there is a rooftop bar, so you can hear music and people talking late through the night.

It was okay, but they need to be more cleaner & vacuum hallways, fix elevator, and improve house keeping.

This hotel is a great place to visit during a trip to LA, has a great rooftop vibe. It's conveniently located walking distance to the Hollywood stars and other attractions. The rooms are cool, the lobby is practical but with two different chilling areas. The rooms are not bad for the price.
Since LA is a driving city you'll need to have a car, so factor in that you'll be paying to don't valet charges as well. Also a few minor set backs happened during our stay, power and wifi went out for a day and had to be downgraded because of plumbing issues.
Overall the hotel is not bad, and if they do a full renovation in the near future will be a great place to stay. It's half the price of 5-star hotels with similar theme and crowd, so you do get what you pay for.
In summary, if you prefer quality go for one of the better known 5-star hotels. If you're on a limited budget but want somewhere clean with decent sized rooms and a cool vibe, then Mama Shelter is for you.

The staff was incredibly friendly and I was able to gain early access to my room. Brittany (front desk) was great as was a security guard (concierge) whose name I forget. They have a wonderfully retro entry area with a bar and dining area. There is also a rooftop bar (with live music, as I recall) which I was unable to visit. I'm returning to LA in mid August and plan to sty there again.

I always enjoying staying at Mama Shelter. It’s clean, comfy and centrally located to where I need to be. Street parking might be a problem but I would definitely stay here again.

Staff was great! Front desk was pleasant upon arrival.
The guys on Saturday morning 6/29 were very accommodating. Thank you!
If going to the Bowl see if you can score the guys on the bikes -taking two passengers. Was fun and faster than UBER.

Last minute…11:30pm? 😂
After a long day of fun and sun we drove into Hollywood sooo tired. Pulled into a gas station and booked Mama Shelter. Drove to the hotel and the street and hotel were packed! What a hot spot. Darrell at the front desk found us a comfy seat and a refreshment while waiting for the reservation to make its way in! So friendly and helpful.
We’ll be back!

It was easy to get around Hollywood walk of fame. Plenty of food and drinks near by. Loved the vibe on the rooftop bar. Staff was so incredibly kind and helpful especially with holding luggage.
Elevator gave out once but there was a back up elevator

The staff was remarkably friendly; went above and beyond at each encounter.
Note, if you’re visiting on the weekends there is a DJ spinning until 2am so it won’t be quiet until after that.

The hospitality, the party environment of the hotel! We were right under the rooftop bar and it didnt bother us to have the noise all day and night. It made for a fun environment. Food and drinks were excellent at the bar.

One of our favorite places to stay in the area. Convenient parking and close to everything in Hollywood. If you're going to a concert at The Bowl, Greek, or other nearby venue, this is the place. Staff always on point and the rooms are comfy.
