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 place for a afforable stay with Family.
We stayed here from December 24th to 28th, 2024, and it was perfect for a budget-friendly family trip to Paris. The location is excellent, the service is outstanding, and the hotel is incredibly child-friendly. The Pac-Man-themed decor was a delightful throwback to the '90s, filling me with nostalgia. My kids loved the free arcade games, and the family lounge provided a great space for us to relax together. Highly recommended!
There was no water available in the room, and Coffee was a machine made that cost 4 Euro which I felt was a kill.

Great for 1 or 2 nights in Paris, very close to the Eiffel Tower.
The place was very close to the Eiffel Tower by walking, also close to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées. The staff was very nice and helpful. The shower in the room was excellent, with a strong stream of water that is not typical for Europe in general. The hotel itself is located in a quiet passage so that walking around at night near the hotel feels comfortable and pleasant. The bed was comfortable, the room was relatively clean and access to the room was very convenient. The hotel's & room's design was cool and fresh, loved it.
The location of the hotel is in an area that feels a little unsafe at night. Also, the location of the hotel is not in a central area and some walking or using the train is required to reach a central area of the city. The smell in the room was a bit musty, maybe because the windows don't open in the rooms. Outside the window of my room was a lovely little patch of grass that I would have loved to sit on, but because the windows don't open - there was no access there. The room didn't have a small fridge to store food products in, but I was only in the hotel for one night so it didn't change much.

Paris quick stop
Location is great, very close to shops, supermarket, cafes and restaurants. Also easy walk to Eiffel Tower and trains.
There was a problem with hot water one night and a morning so couldn’t shower. Staff apologised and were trying to fix but no compensation to make up for the hassles. Even a complimentary bfast or drinks/pizza for guests would be a nice gesture of good will? Ordered a coffee one morning and the fellow at reception never provided, it was before 7am so definitely wasn’t busy?! Other staff were more responsive.

Has everything you need, just in a small package.
Location was fantastic with shops, restaurants and transport options near by. Check in was quick and easy. Being Christmas time there was also a lovely little gift. The facilities are clean and well appointed with a gym and entertainment space.
Be prepared for small rooms. They are clean and include daily servicing but there is very little space for suitcases and bags. I would recommend packing light if you are staying here!

Nothing to complain about!!
The kids loved the bunk beds with slide doors! The free games in the lobby and a big playroom was a big hit!
Considering the lounge area was so comfy and welcoming I was a bit underwhelmed by choice of food and snacks. We could have spent more money there if options were better!

Very good
The staff were warm and helpful, the style of hotel is very cool and the amenities for children were great. The location was amazing. Would definitely return here. Great breakfast selection.
Maybe the food service for dinner didn't suit our needs but there were lots of lovely restaurants nearby and we availed of these.

Safe and quiet place. Excellent start to get to know Paris
The hotel is located 10-15 minutes away from the Eiffel Tour by foot. A very communicative place if you want to enjoy the city as a tourist and a very safe place if you need to explore it as a business person. Separated by the everyday city noise by being built above the street level, it offers quiet and comfortable rooms. Close to the hotel (7-8 minutes) walking there is a supermarket where you can buy cooked food.
I was a little cold in the room. There are not many restaurants around.

We will come back again as a family
The nice staff and the amenities they offer. All the family rooms are spacious with enough beds for a family of five or six. And the location is great to go to Eiffel tower. We are so happy that each room has 2 heat racks to dry out clothes in rainy Paris at this time.
We saw other guests have issue with their luggage storage locks. The washing machine and dryer probably need a good clean, but we are still happy that they have one to use.

Good location with a nice facility for the price. On site breakfast is convenient as well.
The fact that the toilet and shower were in different rooms was wonderful. It was also nice being located close to the Eiffel Tower. The staff was friendly and fulfilled requests when we made them. The kitchen had oat milk for my coffee, which was great because most places I found in Paris didn't have any alternative milk for those that do not consume dairy and lactose.
The room was smaller than the picture shown on the website, which was a bit disappointing. It would have been nice if breakfast was provided rather than having to pay an additional amount for it. The hot water in the hotel went out, but staff was kind and the problem was fixed relatively quickly.
