“It is a clean and tiny hotel.It is too noisy because its located in Time Square, so you might be difficult to sleep.But it is convenient for shopping and watch the Broadway shows.”

  • Location!
  • No free WiFi, air didn't work, maintenance man came twice.

“The location is perfect. The room was nice. If it were just me and my husband it would have been fabulous! No roll away was offered even though available. A little disappointed.”

  • Location is excellent and a bit quirky.
  • Construction going in lobby.

“This hotel was beyond my expectations for a 2 star hotel. The room was kind of small and European in nature. It might not appeal to many Americans but was perfect for me.”

  • The lobby looked nice.
  • The mattresses were old and hard and caused us backache.

“It is a clean bed at a reasonable cost in the heart of Times Square but other than that I would not recommend it to anyone.”

“Time has worn the old classic from chic into shack. The front desk staff
is very sweet, attentive and on it. Desperately in need of the basics, like paint and carpet, and stucco on some of the walls. Great location.”

  • Very interesting and urban lobby.
  • Room was very small, but expected for price in NYC.

“The Paramount is a good value in the severely overheated pricey NYC market. The lobby is very hip (neo-Goth, urban), ditto the lounge. The rooms, by contrast, are small.”

  • Nice lobby.
  • Disgusting bathroom, outdated rooms.

“Would never stay here again, mold all over the ceilings to the point where the white ceiling was almost black from spores, old rusty doorknobs on the bathroom door, 19"
TV in a pathetic TV stand.”

  • The only good thing about the hotel was the location.
  • The room was very small for the price. Never again for that price.

“Small room for a price. Never again!”

  • Nothing.
  • Everything.

“This hotel was not fit for a homeless person! It was filthy, disgusting. One of the staff members had event mentioned that they get more complaints than compliments. The shower did not work, not to mention the fact that is was dirty. The carpets were so filthy that I would not remove my shoes in the room. This hotel should be shut down & condemned for lack of cleanliness.”

  • Very nice lobby area.
  • The hotel room was extremely small, unlike anything I have seen.

“The Paramount hotel was nice however I was not satisfied with the room size. The room was the size of a walk in closet. It might have had a flat screen TV on the wall but it was so small that there was no place to even keep my luggage. On top of this there was an IPOD radio that did not work, a lamp that was broken, and there was an odd light in the room that would not turn off all night.”

  • The location was excellent to the Times Square District.
  • The room size was 12' x 12' and unsuitable for occupancy.

“The hotel was clearly outdated and so dimly lit it was depressing and difficult to navigate. The hotel staff was slow to serve. The room sizes were disgracefully small and the beds felt like packed cardboard. The AC made a constant hum and kept us awake and if I turned the AC off the room stunk and was stuffy because it was so small. I am extremely disappointed.”

  • Amazing location.
  • Staff a bit gruff.

“Overall we had a wonderful stay. The room was small (as expected for the middle of NYC) but very clean. The room itself seemed to have been recently remodeled but the bathroom fixtures were older and parts of the tub were chipped. There were no problems with water pressure or temperature. Our view was of scaffolding but there was no construction going on the two days of our stay. The room was very quiet given the Paramount's location in the middle of Times Square. The only strange occurrence during our stay was the banging noise right outside our room that went on from about 7am to 10:30am. When we went outside we saw there was a cleaning lady shoving items into a closet that backed our room and a service door that slammed loudly. When we asked her to quiet down a bit, she apologized telling us that she didn't know anyone was staying on the floor and that the rooms are usually empty. This was strange, but we thought that it may be due to the hotel's renovations. Best attribute of this hotel - the location can't be beat for a weekend getaway to NYC.”

  • Poor air conditioning, very small bathroom.

“Great location. Close to theaters & restaurants. Under renovation but no excuse for tiny bathrooms and poor air conditioning.”

  • I did like the location but other than location I was very unhappy.
  • The rooms could use paint and the bed was on the floor. They didn't have any chest of drawers to unpack your clothes. The halls were dark.

“I am sure someone could make this a lovely hotel but the minute you walk in it needed more lightning. The furniture was mismatched and it was very dark and dreary. The bathroom in the lobby needed to be cleaned. The room was not very nice and the bed was on the floor. It did have two chairs and a table and the chairs were not comfortable. The hotel needs a lot of upkeep.”

  • Location.
  • How small my room and bed was.

“The hotel was in a great location but I thought the rooms were too small for two people. Maybe it was because they were going through renovation, not sure.”
