COOL and a GREAT Location

This hotel was once the hottest place in town and once in the lobby you can see why. It's still cool, only the movie stars and other celebs have moved a few blocks away, which means you get a better price. Yes, the rooms are tiny as are the bathrooms, but this is NY...what are you doing in your room anyway. It's a great place for singles or couples, but maybe not families as the rooms are REALLY that small. Some doors could use repainting in the rooms, but I like it anyway. Broadway shows and Times Square are just a few feet away and good, cheap eats are all nearby as well (Cafe Edison next door is a MUST).

Bad experience

Elevators were not working and had no hot water from 10am to 4pm

Needs Improvement

If all you're looking for only a place to sleep, this is a good place. It's close to Time Square. If you plan on spending time in the room, the room was exceptionally small. Not very much room for 3 people to move around without bumping into each other. Rooms were cleaned daily. Hotel is being remodeled on the outside, so looking out windows was obstructed.

Great Room and Ideal Location

For accessing the major sights and offices in Manhattan, this is the best location for the price.

A Pleasant Surprise

I booked this room with a bit of trepidation -- thie price was good but this was the "hot" hotel 15+ years ago so I wondered if it had gone downhill. I needn't have worried. The rooms are as small as I remember, but the hotel has been well-maintained. It was a great deal.

Great Location, Decent Accommodations

We enjoyed staying at the Paramount because of the location. The room was small but was clean and comfortable. Room service was quick and easy.

Great Room / LOCATION for the Money I Paid.

Just be sure you can get up and down from a bed that is flat on the floor. This was the only down-fall I found to this hotel - the beds are flat on the floor. I'm still capable of getting up and down from so low but porbably won't be much longer.

Location yes, Service no

We booked these rooms for a birthday party. I'd phoned ahead to request plates, silverware etc. in the rooms for birthday cake and was told that this would not be possible. I brought my own plates but forgot silverware, but when I went down to the front desk to request some forks I was told that the kitchen was closed and -- amazingly, to my mind -- no one on the desk staff had any access to silverware. I had to go next door to the pizza parlor and beg some plastic forks, but not before going into the hotel bar to ask if he had any silverware. The bartender literally sneered at me. Look, this is a great location if you're going in for the theater, and if the once thrilling design is looking a little worn, well, so be it. But the lack of care once you've checked in was pretty lousy, I thought.

Extremely small room even when "upgraded" to Queen for $30 more a night. Shortage of space, no room for anything in bathroom.

The Paramount skimps on everything. Flimsy shower curtain blows in on you during shower, water gets all over bathroom floor. One small shelf in bathroom hardly holds anything. Bed about 6 inches off floor. Not very comfortable mattress. Both elevator call lights on 4th floor burned out. Lobby is dim and not very welcoming. No coffee shop other than small Dean & DeLuca next door. I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy.
