I just had a two night stay at Mama Shelter and is was a great first stop on my vacation. Simple, clean rooms with awesome showers and comfortable beds. Sound deadening windows, blackout curtains and air conditioning made for an easy turnaround after a long flight. Trendy restaurant with an impressive kitchen, producing excellent food at great value. All of the staff were very accommodating and friendly with my very broken French - a great stop for English-speaking visitors.
