Agree with most of the critics that rated this hotel as “1” (meaning terrible). There are some that at least positively appreciated the lobby. Not my case. Once you make your way (hard as it seems always been packed) in, the ill look-alike-philip-stark décor just make deeper the feeling of being in a slum. Distasteful. First night, due to a... more

Nice location and the lobby is ok if you like the artsy style but it ends the minute you get in the elevator. Each elevator has different color lights (red, green, blue, purple) feels a little like Miami Vice with mud mixed in. The elevators were solid white dirty walls. Then you get to the hall way leading to the... more

I've never bothered to write a review, but in this case I think i'd be doing a disservice to other travelers if I didn't. It's a huge shame what happened to this place. I stayed at the Paramount 9 years ago, the rooms were small, but clean and nicely decorated. 9 years later, it's like staying in a slum. The... more

Reality Check people, this place is old. That's it, it's old. My hubby and I stayed 4 nights in a superior queen room. I think the bed was a double rather than a queen, but that's just me. The room was ok. It was small, but as others have said this is NYC. There was a small desk with chair... more

We stayed for 5 nights in April. Overall i found the hotel average. The lobby is always packed and its almost impossible to get any help at the desk because there is always a queue 3 deep. When checking in we were told our room had been upgraded, i think this is just a standard line they use on all... more

The Paramount Hotel is located in a great place. It really is 1/2 block away from Times Square. It's located right next to the Richard Rodgers Theater that was, at the time, playing In The Heights. The Little Mermaid was playing a few buildings down the street on the same block. Be aware that you will be staying right next... more

The room was approximately 8x10 in size - luggage had to be stored in the miniscule closet in order to maneuver in the room. Bed was not queen size as expected -- at most it was a double -- and was on a metal frame 2" above the floor, making it very difficult to get in and out of. Only... more

While I was reading the reviews one hit a chord. Their stay was on Jun 17, 2008 and one line read, "I wouldn't stay here if it were free" and that is a statement that couldn't be said enough. I was there for business so I imagine that the design of the hotel is for people who are there to... more

A friend and I wanted to go to NYC for just a lil weekend getaway and for siteseeing. The property is going over some renovations, so its typical there is scaffolding on the outside, but the lobby was very nice, the bar/lounge they have was nice too. People were friendly, after we checked in we were on our way upto... more
