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.

Loved Paris and would go back in a heart beat
Location was fantastic and ultimately what I’d paid for. The recieption was mega cool and quirky. The booking was for a birthday and the requests were well handled.
Ordered a few drinks at the bar. Overall the wine was great but my partner had a double vodka which 1) wasn’t a double measure and 2) didn’t taste like absolut, it tasted thin and flavourless like it had been watered down.

great place to stay for all sorts of people
love the communal area
drunk people banging on our door loudly at midnight because they had the wrong room and wouldn’t stop leaving us alone
27 June 2024
Location is excellent and overall good for family
The room is comparable and with toilet and show separated to two rooms.
Pillows are too flat and room facilities are too limited Not even glass or cups to drink water. Most machines in reception area are broken and kids couldn’t play.

Great location and super breakfast

Clean and modern with a great location near the Eiffel Tower and great for families.
Very clean and excellent location. Staying near the Eiffel Tower was great because we could head over at night to see it lit up and see the sparkle show. Family rooms were nice to have and maximized well the space they had. Staff was great!
Air conditioning was not working well and with 4 people in the room it was stuffy and hot. Room was very small for 4 people. If we did not have carry on bags I am not sure how we would have been able to fit with anything bigger. Did not have extra pillows for our teens so they only had one flat pillow. I know they were at full capacity though. Overall it was good but not great. A few fixes would make it great!

Comfortable stay, stunning bathroom and delicious breakfast
We were a stone's throw away from the Eiffel tower. The breakfast was delicious!
Our room had a large window that we couldn't open.

Small rooms and small mattresses, dark bathroom

Fabulous
It was fun and fit 5 of us in a room. Great location in terms of distance from where we wanted to be in Paris.
The bunk bed ladders were slippery and difficult to navigate. Not as clean as I expected. For the price per night, I'd expect the free games to function and perhaps the food to be less expensive. The location was odd but accessible.

Very good
No vegetable at breakfast

It’s very clean and adequate facility but not worth the price.
It was very clean
For the money I would have expected more. More space in the room and for it to not feel like a hostel so much.

Great location walkable to Eiffel Tower and metro. Clean and quiet.
Hard to find when you arrive. A sign at the stairs would be helpful.
27 May 2024
This was an ideal hotel for a trip with children; close to the Eiffel Tower.
The location was excellent, a 10 minute walk to the Eiffel Tower! The lobby area was great & the bedroom was perfect for us.
The breakfast was very bad. There was a poor selection of food. It wasn’t worth the money. Also the breakfast room was cheap & felt very grubby.

Fabulous
We liked the video games themed decor. We had access to a lot of boardgames. The room was clean and the beds confortable. The location is perfect, a 10 minutes walk to the Eiffel Tour.
We were excited for the arcades but most of them did not work properly so we were disapointed.

Expensive but perfect location
Room was big enough for 2 people. It was quite clean. Hotel location is perfect. It's near to Eiffel tower just 5 mins by walk. Hotel lobby was looking enjoyable for everybody :). Staffs were helpful and they always had a smile on their faces.
Poor air circulation in the room, window was not opening fully. Air condition was working in heating mode I think. I couldn't changed it. There wasn't any drink at the room even water. No electronic device exist(it can be understandable for some reasons). At least there should be a bottle of water in the room. The hotel price was quite expensive.

Good value for money and great location
Location is great, within walking distance from attractions. The room was quite spacious with 2 bunk beds and it could easily accommodate a family with 1-2 small children.
Bathroom requires refurbishment (it feels 12-15 years old). Also, when the hot water system needs recirculation pump (you've had to wait 30-50s for hot water to flow). Room door was completely inefficient against noise coming from the coridor. Breakfast was a bit limited and didn't have a decent variety of healthy options. We only tried it on the first morning, afterwards we decided to eat at the nearby bakeries.

Fantastic stay - value for money
Travelled as 2 adults and 3 teenage boys. Room was spacious. Toilet and shower were separate. Beds were comfy. Location was a 10 mins walk from Eiffel Tower. Reception staff was friendly. There were arcade games for the kids to keep them busy during down time. Would stay again.
Would have loved to have more pillows. There was one pillow per bed.
