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.

Excellent Location and Comfortable stay
The location was excellent, only a 10 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. The room was small as expected from a city centre hotel but it was all we needed with storage, and large shower room. The reception/bar area was lovely with games available to play and lots of seating space and the luggage storage room was very secure.

We are glad we chose this hotel for its location and amenities for kids.
This is a great place to stay with kids. My child loved the playroom and arcade games. It was clean, surprisingly quiet for the amount of families staying there and we had no problems with our stay.
Everything was great except for the soap dispensers in the bathroom which were empty when we arrived. You can order pizza and other simple foods in the lobby which is convenient when traveling with kids, but the food quality was inconsistent.

Great value and fun family hotel in a great location.
Everything was excellent. The staff were very friendly, it was very family friendly - more than we were expecting. There was a soft play room that was open whenever you needed and a games arcade with pac man etc. The rooms were exactly what we needed and the children loved the bunk beds complete with reading lights. In the room, the toilet and shower were in separate rooms which again is perfect for families. It was a very well considered family hotel. The price was also fantastic for families and will mean we will book again. We stayed over Halloween and the staff even had sweets for the children ready for trick or treating!
I can’t think of anything

Great family friendly accommodation.
Very family friendly, rooms were a great size, the bed pods allowed our older children a little privacy, shower was great, loved having toilet in a seperate room to shower.
The light meals were terrible! Barely edible. Do not recommend.

Fantastic 4 night stay! My 16 yr old son is already planning on coming back to the Yooma!
Great room for a family - the kids loved having their own bed and space. Room was really spacious - plenty of room for all of our luggage. Very handy that the toilet and bathroom are separate. The lobby is a great place to hang out and the beer is very reasonably priced. Breakfast had a good choice and filled us up ready for the day. Brilliant location for getting around Paris. Great view of the Eiffel Tower - it was twinkling on our arrival!
Nothing we can think of.

Ideal for hotel for a family
Room was perfect for large family of 2 adults & 4 kids. Games in reception kept the kids occupied for a while.
Not much to dislike.

Great location, but over priced for what was offered...
It was close to all the main sights of Paris, and the rooms were clean and the staff were nice.
Rooms were not big enough for larger families, no facilities to sit in rooms. I think it was over priced for what was offered, which was nothing. The rooms were too hot for sleeping, and the temp could not be dropped, the bathroom was very small

Over all is good with Yooma, very economical and ideal for a 6members of family.
Near the train station and Eiffel tower also
No telephone inside the room

Fabulous
The game room for the kids was a hit, breakfast was good, and they even make pizzas at the lobby for approximately 10 euros. The laundromat was useful (take coins).
Compressed rooms, but great use of small space. The bathroom soap dispenser near the sink was leaking soap.

Over all our 3nights stay is all good.Breakfast has a wide variety of choices but always the same everyday
Property is in good location.
There were no chairs or table in the room. Also there are no luggage storage.

Great location!
The reception was great! The location was great since it's within walkable distance from Eifel tower and the metro station. The rooms were clean and cozy. I liked the breakfast but a bit expensive 20 euros per person.
The cleaning ladies even when we had the "Do not disturb" sign on our door they entered the room. Two out of the three days that we were there.

Great stay!
Great place to stay for our one night in Paris! So much to do in the lobby! It was very close to the Eiffel Tower about 10 min walk which was nice! Staff was very friendly and let us check in early and gave us welcome snacks. Room was clean and was plenty of space even for 4 of us in the room.

Friendly and comfortable.
Fun interior design, great family room. Useful child friendly soft play room and Pac Man game.
Some arcade games were broken! And on the second day there was a water leak on the ceiling so the Pac Man game was shut which was disappointing.

Great hotel for a family with teenagers and close to the Eiffel Tower
the baby room - great facility for families with young children. Especially the availability of hot and cold water and the microwave.
It is a well used hotel, so starting to look it a bit.

Excellent location, rooms perfect for larger families. Would definitely return.
The pac man theme was very cool, kids liked that. Nice big family rooms, as a family of 5 it’s one of the best we’ve stayed in. Very clean and excellent location for Eiffel Tower.

You most likely will have a good experience. Nice location and friendly staff. Nice reception with arcades and board games. Hotel designed for kids especially.
The room had been very small for a family of four, and while the staff seemed mostly decent. Things took a turn when I accidentally left a bag behind and returned to find many of its contents missing, despite being told no one had entered the room yet. The staff had been unhelpful, and since I was in a rush for my flight, I couldn’t pursue the matter further. I was later contacted by the manager, who was very helpful and later got a refund, despite the misunderstanding.

This room was perfect for our family of 6. Location was great, 10 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower and many locations/cafes along the way. Hotel is a pac man theme, kids loved it. Very well equipped for young families.

Staff very helpful and friendly.
The air con wasn’t working for our stay but they provided fans and we were reimbursed well for this after we returned home. The pool table was for adults only which was disappointing for our teenagers.
15 September 2025
Great stay but could use some improvements.
The hotel was in a fantastic location, there is parking which was a must for us, and it had a kids play room which was a nice surprise. The staff was nice and the kids loved having bunk beds with sliding doors. Kids had a blast, they loved the hotel.
The bathroom had no real shower it was just open and everything was wet, my 5 year old slipped and smashed her head on the floor, no coffee in the room, the hallway to the rooms had a musty weird smell and the breakfast was expensive and terrible but it is always nice to start your travel days with a breakfast at the hotel so we did eat there.

Great place to stay for a family of 5!
Comfortable beds. Great location.
Rooms were warm. Aircon didn’t work very well.
12 September 2025
It is ok if there is just two of you. I couldn’t imagine staying in one of those rooms with two kids as well.
Well located, close to the Eiffel Tower. Fairly new and modern. The bathroom was nice and surprisingly spacious compared to the room.
The room was very cramped and awkward to move around in. Not even enough room to find somewhere to place our bags. Had to put them on the spare bunk beds. The bed and pillows were cheap and uncomfortable.

It’s a good hotel and very well located. Breakfast also offered good options
The location is very good

It was nice and we enjoyed it.
It was definitely very close and walking distance to the Eiffel tower and surrounding areas.
The room was a little small for a 6 people bedroom to keep our luggage and be able to walk around freely.
