This hotel is perfectly situated for a weekend in Dublin - especially if pub activity is on the agenda (and how could it not be while in this city!). It is on the edge of Temple Bar which is a lively area full of restaurants and bars. The Paramount is also convenient to the city's sights - either by foot or the hop-on bus tours.
The rooms are standard European compact but clean and nicely decorated with a modern vibe. The front desk staff was very pleasant.
I was a little leery of the noise issue when arriving at the Paramount - upon checking in, I requested a room as quiet as possible. Due to the hotel's capacity, they only could give us a room on the 2nd floor facing the courtyard (the original room was on the first floor) - not much of a view but it was fairly quiet. You could hear the bass from the Turk's Head bar at night for a time but earplugs (and a few Guinnesses) were generally adequate for a good night's sleep.
