Shoreditch, London
Mama Shelter brings its trademark fun, colourful energy to Shoreditch with a hotel that doesn't take itself too seriously. The rooms are playful and bold — think comic-book ceilings, bright colours, iMacs and good sound systems — while offering genuine comfort at affordable prices for east London.
The real star is the rooftop terrace, one of Shoreditch's best-kept secrets, with views across the east London skyline, DJs at weekends and a relaxed bar serving cocktails and pizza. Downstairs, the restaurant serves sharable Mediterranean-inspired dishes, and the karaoke rooms are a hit for group celebrations. It's a hotel built for having fun, in a neighbourhood that knows how to have fun.

“Such a fun hotel! The rooftop terrace was amazing — great views, good cocktails and a brilliant DJ on Saturday night. Our room was quirky and comfortable. Shoreditch is the perfect area for bar-hopping.”

“We booked the karaoke room for a birthday party and it was a blast. The hotel has great energy — young, fun and unpretentious. Room was stylish and the bed was comfortable. Great value for London.”

“Love the vibe and the rooftop is brilliant, but the room was quite small and the walls a bit thin on a busy Saturday night. Good for a fun weekend away rather than a quiet retreat.”
Yes, the rooftop can be booked for private events. Contact the hotel directly for availability and pricing. It's also open to hotel guests and walk-ins on a first-come basis.
Karaoke rooms can be booked through the hotel's website or at reception. They accommodate groups of various sizes and are popular, so book ahead, especially for weekends.
Mama Shelter is a lively hotel in a lively area. Weekend nights can be noisy, particularly rooms near the rooftop or the street. If quiet is important, it may not be the best choice.
Walk to Liverpool Street (12 minutes) and take the Central line to Tottenham Court Road (6 minutes). Or take the Overground from Shoreditch High Street to various connections.
