Yooma Urban Lodge, Paris
Expert reviews
“The architect-designer Ora Ito and the artist Daniel Buren collaborated on the 106-room Yooma Urban Lodge, a colorful, retro-futuristic hotel that opened last year. In addition to a restaurant, bar and gym, the hotel provides many family-friendly bonuses, from six-person rooms to special baby washrooms and bottle warmers.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Paris on the Seine.
“A dazzling façade designed by French conceptual artist Daniel Buren makes this new riverside hotel a contemporary work of art. The Eiffel Tower is just down the road, the chef cooks with veggies grown on the rooftop garden, and rooms are overwhelmingly family-friendly.”

Yooma Urban Lodge is a three-star hotel located in Paris’s 15h arrondissement opposite to Maison de la Radio and is one kilometer from the Eiffel Tower on Seine River’s banks. Renowned French designer Ora Ïto, in artistic collaboration with French conceptual artist Daniel Buren, designed the hotel. The hotel was designed keeping an eye on the surrounding architecture, with its historical and heritage buildings with contemporary sculptures.
This hotel is exceptional compared to other hotels as it has 106 rooms starting for two, four, five, and six people to accommodate families, friends, groups, professionals, and businesspeople. The factors that make the rooms unique are that they are part of an ecosystem of services as well as creative, artistic, and recreational activities. The hotel is the perfect example of style meets substance.
The hotel has an extensive lobby that comes with its bar lounge designed as a living space, and it has a permanent video wall that showcases photographic creations, contemporary video, and temporary exhibitions. The lobby and various other areas inside the hotel are enhanced by a sculpted effect of solids and voids.
The hotel also has a 130 seating restaurant, a fitness room with a sauna, a cooking school, reception rooms that can be reserved privately for seminars or family celebrations, a garden on the rooftop growing fruit, an authentic living museum of chair craftsmanship, and herbs and vegetables for seasonal freshness throughout the year. The hotel provides a child monitoring system, nurseries with changing tables, and tubs for families with babies.

Pleasant and convenient stay for one night.
Nice neighborhood with shopping and dining nearby, secured parking, ( reservation required ) close enough for the attractions but away from the traffic chaos.
Price per night a little on the expensive side.

All in all a perfect location for a multi-generational family trip to Paris!
Brilliant location and perfect accommodation for a family weekend Paris trip. The breakfasts were excellent and all the beds comfortable. The children loved the games area in foyer!

Location, no-nonsense service.
Very small rooms. Even with just 2 bags of luggage we found it difficult to maneuver around. Also no electric kettle in the room.

Closeness to Eiffel Tower. Very easy walk for our family!
It was very hot in the hotel and hard to cool our room down and it was very hot outside the day we stayed. Other than that, we had a great experience!

Nice and easily accessible hotel with additional amenities
Very nice hotel, easily accessible by public transport which we mostly used during our stay. The room was comfrotable, WiFi fast and reliable, most of the staff spoke good english. Additional amenities in the lobby (arcade games, board games rental etc.) were a big plus. The breakfast was pretty good but the same every day and without any vegetables available - so great if you like pastries but a little worse if you wanted some diversity.

Would stay again, my family enjoyed having their own space
Location and the decor
Cost was a little on the high side for the amenities

Paris is an amazing city. The hotel is very close to the Eiffel Tower and metro by walking
The location is good, 5 minutes to Eiffel and Seine by walking. Very convenient for the metro and small supermarkets. On arrival the service was efficient and friendly. .
The room was small but clean and the bathroom well equipped and again clean. Air condition can not be controlled, it works automatically, so it can be cool. But it wasn't matter for me. Payment is requested for guarantee and it is paid back during check-out. This may be mentioned at the time of booking.

Located closer to the Eiffel Tower. Walking distance. The arcade in the lobby keeps kids entertained
Do not provide water into the rooms. Instead we have to fill the bottles from reception. Outside food is not allowed at rooms

Family-friendly hotel, great for big families, with secure parking, in the centre of Paris.
Great family rooms with enough beds to sleep our entire family in one room. Fantastic location in the centre of Paris, just five mins walk from Eiffel Tower. Excellent children's soft-play playroom which our son loved. Free arcade games in reception which had both our little kids and big kids playing. Secure, locked parking right underneath the hotel. Wonderful friendly staff.

We liked Yooma Urban Lodge Hotel and i would definitely recommend it to my friends with kids.
Very good location. Very good for family with Kids due to entertainment at lobby. The style of the rooms and generally hotel is very good. A lot of kids walk and play around! Lobby is always busy, staff seems tired:)

Great stay!
Really enjoyed our stay, everything was really close and the hotel provides entertainment areas for the kids. Will definitely stay here again when we are visiting Paris.

Small room offering convenient amenities
It provides drinking water so it’s easy for us. The reception bar is selling food/drinks so don’t worry if you arrive late and need to grab dinner. Yooma does daily room cleaning so it’s a plus point. The room is rather small. Theres no way to leave the luggage open all time. Theres a washer and dryer but both of them look old and are not always functioning. The location is fairly good, walking distance (10-15mins) to Eiffel Tower.

A great economical place to stay
Location location location
As a family the room space was too tight for us, with no room for storage and toilet queues etc, this room would be ideal for a back packer group but not a family of four. I like walking the stairs for all the magnificent artworks
23 March 2025
Fabulous
Room, a family room for 5 adults, for the time you are in the room excellent, beds so easy to sleep in and the view from this room was outstanding. Location a 5 min walk from metro station, 10min walk to the Eiffel tower and 25 min walk to the Champs Elysees, what more do you need. Breakfast there is a lot to choose from and as it is a buffet style you can charge up for the day (I would like some sausages as well though) And an excellent sauna which is open until 11pm time to allow you to relax after a days outing walking through Paris. The main reception is a fantastic hub, bar, table games, soft play area for kids, pool, feels and is such a friendly area where you can meet new people, overall I'll be back to use this hotel in the future.
Nothing really staff where so friendly, facilities excellent, oh apart from Scotland getting beat at the rugby.

It’s not my first time and definitely not my last. We love Yooma.
The location was amazing. Very close to the Eiffel Tower, shopping mall, supermarket, pharmacy and everything was close by. Very child friendly with free video games and playroom in the reception area.
The breakfast was good but limited options especially for kids.

26 February 2025
It was a nice, clean hotel that we would recommend.
For us, the most important is the cleanliness and this hotel reached the expectations. Nice location, you could see the Eiffel Tower as soon as you leave the hotel, easy to get a bus or train to move around the city. The arcade games were a blast for our kids. The workers very helpful and they spoke different languages.
Not many options for eating near the hotel. Any place close to have breakfast what led us to had to have the hotel breakfast which wasn’t the best. We really missed the fresh fruit, they only had fruit salad mostly made up of canned fruit.
25 February 2025
Far exceeded my expectations
I would really recommend this hotel if you are travelling with Kids. There is a little soft play room in the lobby plus arcade games they can play for free. My kids absolutely loved this and they had so much fun playing in the evenings in the hotel and meeting other kids. The location is amazing, many metro and train stations within walking distance and you are only 10 mins walk from the Eiffel tower. The room was clean and well laid out and worked really well for the 5 of us. I will stay again at this hotel, we loved it.

Best affordable hotel for families in Paris
Perfect Location, only 10-15 min walking distance from Eiffel Tower. Family rooms with proper beds instead of sofa bed. Comfy beds/mattresses. Free electronic games, kids room and pool in the lobby

Great hotel for families, near eiffel tower, we loved it 😁
had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were super modern, and I really appreciated the warm welcome and the amazing staff. One of the highlights for me was the Soft Play area, where my kids had a great time playing—it was a huge plus, especially since it was raining a lot during my stay. This hotel is an excellent choice for families with children! Another big advantage is the location—it's very close to the Eiffel Tower. I was able to walk there at night with my three children and felt completely safe in the area around the hotel. The laundry service was also a must-have! On the morning of my departure, before heading to my next destination, I could wash and dry my clothes at an affordable price. The space was convenient and made my stay even more comfortable as a family traveler. The only downside was that the elevator broke down on my last night, and since I was on the second floor, getting down and back to room with bags, stroller, and kids was a bit challenging. But despite this, I truly loved my stay and would definitely return!
The eating in service could've been more affordable.

Good location, friendly staff, comfortable beds, lockers for luggage storage
Everything was clean but the bathroom smelled like mold so bad especially after someone would shower. No ventilation in bathroom or a window. Had to keep bathroom door closed at all times or it made the whole room smell of mold. Otherwise clean, great location, beds were comfortable
Mold smell in bathroom

Fantastic family hotel
Fantastic location near to Eiffel Tower. Very friendly staff. Free water refills for bottles. Great kids play room, board games free to use, video arcade machines free to use. Large lounge area to relax. Rooms small but very clean and comfy beds. Kids loved the pacman decor. Breakfast was nice. You can get pizza for ten euro to eat in lounge which was great with kids.
Only one small bin in room. Very tight around main bed.

12 February 2025
Cool and modern place for a few days.
Check-in was easy and smooth, also online check-in was offered. The location is very good, the rooms are modern and clean but extremely small. The bed is comfortable. The staff is very kine and helpful. The breakfast is abundant and typical french. It is a family and kid friendly hotel which is a cool thing. Parking is also available, for extra cost, but it is a great advantage.
The rooms are extremely small. For a few nights it is OK, but for a longer stay it would be a bit uncomfortable. A fridge could be useful and very much appreciated. It was strange that we hd to pay a deposit for possible damages of the room.
