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.”

All you need to know
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.

Family friendly hotel in an excellent location.
We loved the PAC Man theme and free games in the lobby area as this made it fun for the kids. The rooms were small but the bunkbed design was perfectly designed to give kids space from their parents with privacy blinds. Also have a separate loo and washroom was good. The location was excellent, 10 minutes walk to the Eiffel Tower, which you can see from the hotel and close to various food outlets. It was also good to access the Botabus on the river. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
We stayed here twice we liked it so much but we could not get the chrome cast to work on either occasion which was a little disappointing as the TV only really had the news for us English speakers but it’s not a deal breaker, we would definitely stay again.

Fab location! Great spots for families, babies and kids.
This is a great place to stay with kids. The soft playroom was an awesome place for kids to socialize and unwind. The location is perfect. Everything you want to see is easily accessible. We walked out front a couple nights to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle and then got to go right back to bed. Getting the bus or the hop on hop off boat from this hotel was very easy, just a quick walk away. Each staff member we interacted with was very helpful and pleasant. We would definitely stay here again.
We found it a bit unreasonable to not be able to get take out to your room. Especially if you are travelling a long way to get there, going to a restaurant is just one more thing you have to do before you can rest.

We had a lovely stay, and would choose this location again
Close to attractions and shops the look of the building, the way it is set out inside looks fantastic. Luggage storage was very helpful, as we had a late night flight.
Would be nice to have a small fridge and microwave

A very good stay—comfortable, quiet, and well-located, with friendly staff.
We had a good stay at YOOMA Urban Lodge. The room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. The location was excellent for exploring Paris, and the staff made the experience smooth and pleasant.
This room has one powder room and one shower, which can be a little challenging for a family of five or more at times.

Ideal hotel for Paris with kids
The location is ten minutes walking from Eiffel Tower which make night visits very easy. Bus, Metro and bicycles where close also making the spot ideal. Stuff were really friendly and helpfull. Our son forgot his watch an they found it and will ship it back to us. Breakfast with lots of options and very taste. Pac Man concept was a plus for us too.

The his was perfect for us to stay as a family. The kids love the bunk beds and their own space to have devices or to sl
Super family friendly - perfect for kids and families travelling.
Hard to find reception initially.

Perfect family hotel in a great location to see Paris!
Super cool and kid friendly hotel concept with all kinds of (arcade) games in the lobby and Pac-Man theme throughout. Almost too friendly as we had to manage the kids out of the hotel to see Paris! The staff was great and really friendly.
Breakfast was very reasonably priced and good quality, but as staff started cleaning up everything 15 mins before the end of the breakfast we felt as unwelcoming. Our bathroom clearly had some moisture issues which was visible on the tiling and ceiling, not a problem in an otherwise nice room but still something to sort out and keep clean

Great family location very near the Eiffel Tower in a vibrant neighborhood
The breakfast was awesome. Tasty and convenient!

We enjoyed our stay.
Room was clean. Staff was nice.
If you reach early or need to keep your luggage for sometime, you need to pay extra to use the facility. Most of the other hotels we stayed in didn't have this.

Proximity to the Eiffel tower, the river Seine and some local bakeries. Room fitted my while family of 5 in which was nice. The kids loved the bunk beds and my son loved the arcade games in the lobby. Parking was safe and straightforward.
The air con wasn't working throughout the hotel when we were there. It was ok because the weather was cool in the evenings but it could be a problem if not resolved during the very hot periods.

Excellent for familes
Having a pool table and free Pacman was fun to escape the middle of the day heat. And can walk to the Eifel tower!
Rooms not large but only used for sleeping so no problem, and there is a big lobby to hang out in.

Good value for Paris
The A/C was preset to 17 degrees Celsius max cooling. It was still hot at times. The dryer was broken the entire week

Perfect location for families wanting a centrally located place in Paris.
Superb location for visiting Paris, very close to the Eiffel Tower and a metro station. Well maintained rooms- we were a family of 5 - 3 teens in there and we had a family room with a double bed and 4 bunk bed cubicles. Teens happy with all the plugs and phone charging sockets. Breakfast can be bought and was a nice selection.
All was good and as expected

rooms extremely small. There were many homeless people in the neighborhood who also did their ‚business‘ on the paths and stairs. It was really disgusting.

It’s a very fun and relaxed hotel with a friendly atmosphere. The lounge has many games and spaces for all ages making it a perfect family space. It’s very close by to restaurants, shops and a cinema as well as public transportation. It’s a great place to stay to visit Paris. The rooms are very functional and quiet even it you’re on the "road side" of the hotel.

Great location, lovely theming around pacman, good sized rooms and facilities such as lockers for storing luggage (for a fee) and a laundry. Staff were friendly and helpful. Kids loved the bunk beds with the sliding doors to give a bit of privacy in our shared family room. The toilet was separate to the shower which was great too. Shower was powerful.
Limited food options in the evening; the restaurant was a bit fancy for our family so we opted for "bar snacks". Pizzas were sold out and the pasta was a quick microwave reheat. The air-conditioning was only at 50% and whilst we got some compensation with free breakfast it meant a very warm two nights for trying to sleep.

Location was excellent. walk to Seine And Eiffle tower, Children love this hotel because of , free arcade in lobby, the bunk beds and painting on the wall Staff was wonderful, extremely polite and helpful
There was no basic facility such as coffee or kettles in the room and we have to pay £4 in lobby to drink a cup of coffee or tea but everything else was excellent

Amazing stay and very good parking lot
I visited Paris for a conference and I travelled by car from Germany, hence I needed a secure parking spot to leave my car. YOOMA was the only one that confirmed me the possibility to book the parking spot in advance. The access to the parking lot was possible only by card and it was very safe and discreet, I felt safe to leave my car there unattended for 4 days. I shared a quadruple with my colleague and we were very satisfied with the space and the cleanings. The breakfast was of excellent quality, with a good variety of French pastries like croissant and pain au chocolate, as well as eggs and bacon , yogurt and different types of cereals. Staff was very present and the hotel overall was very clean. Location was very good, around 10min walking from the metro and 30min walking from the tour Eiffel. We walked almost every day and reached without problems the main sites like Louvre. Finally, we also came back at different hours and late at night and the area was very safe. One final remark which was not very clear while booking this property, this is a games theme and family-centred hotel , with the main theme being pac-man. If you don't like being surrounded by children (in our case they didn't cause any problem or didn't disturb) or large groups of adolescent, then this might not be your hotel.
Not all staff was friendly. I had problems the first day when requesting the invoice for reimbursement and the receptionist insisted quite rudely that booking was supposed to provide it. When I tried to explain that booking already confirmed me that YOOMA was supposed to provide me with the invoice, she rolled her eyes and said it was impossible. At the end of my stay , I talked to another staff member which promptly confirmed me that I was going to receive all the invoices, both stay and parking, in one week time after my checkout.

Great place! Good location. We will be back!
We have stayed here twice and mostly stayed a second time because our children loved the arcade machines :D. Booked a 4-person room and got a six-person room which was great. Lots of restaurants and metro a short walk away. Great lounge. Great breakfast (but we missed the madeleines from last time!).
They didn’t have pizza the one night we were going to eat in the lounge so just check before you get your hopes up :). The machines were randomly not working, maybe half of them might need some repairs.

Location was great easy walk to metro and supermarkets, breakfast was great and staff were great.
Aircon was not good barely worked but then we were there in unusually warm temps ???? staff did provide us with a fan and changed our room which we were grateful for. Rooms were quite small but we weren't there much so not that much of a big deal.

Kids were excited to go there. Was a little disappointed as the aircon was non existent and paid extra for a river view but couldn’t see anything due to large trees in front of the hotel. Spiders & wasps right outside the window, so couldn’t open windows.

Location, breakfast and facilities were excellent especially for children
The check in process was slow and rooms needed to be checked for some reason before we were given the keys
11 July 2025
For the location and the facilities this hotel was a good value in our minds.
The location of the hotel is easy walking distance to the Eiffel Tower, metro, RER trains. There was a comercial street two blocks away where you could get just about anything you need. We were there on a few very hot days and the AC kept up very well. The TV had CNN and a few other English speaking programs, all news type. It had the option for two twin beds. Overall we would stay there again. It would be perfect if you have kids.
The beds were too hard for my wife, but OK for me. The twin bed rooms are really small, but just adequate. Wish they would have had a small refrigerator to store those very expensive Paris restaurant leftovers. On occasion we would hear the kids playing outside and you often heard a siren go by. Never could get the screen casting to the TV to work. And finally, had two fire alarms, one at 7:00 AM, but nothing serious.

Not value for money !!!
Location, rooms and staff
The public areas were not properly cleaned. In the breakfast area, there were not enough tables, and the sofas looked dirty. There were available tables in the middle of the restaurant with “reserved” signs on them, but no one was seated there. Despite this, the staff did not allow us to sit there and gave no explanation.

Excellent stay, clean, comfortable with a great buffet

Good location
The location close to the Eiffel tower was great. Nice to be able to see the tower lit up in the evenings while just being out on a walk. The rooms are clean and the breakfast buffé was tasty with quite a large selection. Staff was friendly. The hotel has good facilities for children in general, but the baby cots need an update. There was an issue finding one that wasn't broken.
New baby cots are needed.

Fantastic place for a gamer.
Personnel very friendly, the whole gaming theme was fantastic, the kids playground very useful. Good value for money in Paris.
The room was perhaps too little for the 6 beds.

Generally, nice family hotel, fairly close to Eiffel and metro/rer stations. Would go again.
Breakfast was standard. Although always the same things to eat, its tasty and always fresh with enough diversity to find something new to eat for a few days stay. Rooms were clean with enough space and cosy beds. Everything looked of quality and sturdy enough. Acessories were all there (soap, hairdryer, tp..). Service was ok, Maybe some of them could use english lessons, but everyone was polite and willing to help.
Water was shut down for a few hours in the afternoon right when you shower in these hot days. Later in the night (4am) a false alarm was raised for unknown reason, people started evacuating but in the end alarm was shut down (after long few minutes) with simple explanation it was false. A bit hard to sleep after that adventure but hey, better to have an alarm than none at all I guess.

Pretty convenient and within walking distance to the metro station. There are stunning views of the eiffel tower when walking right outside the hotel.
One lift didn’t work and the other lift was quite slow. It could take minutes just to go up to the hotel room. The room is also fairly small. There is a lack of amenities such as a kettle, a fridge and drinking cups.
