This is a very honest review of my stay at the Paramount Hotel. I would not say I hate my experience, but I did not enjoy my stay. Pros: The location is nice - walkable, in the heart of Times Square, easy transportation to nearby locations such as Fifth Avenue, Central Park, etc. Cons: The property, to be honest, is outdated and lack of staff and organizational/professional support. I do appreciate some nice staff there being able to send people to my room to fix my AC, however, sometimes nobody came and I had the AC down for the whole night. Moreover, there is only one person at the Bellroom, which means you might have risks waiting for a long time, especially scary when you need to get your stuff and catch a flight, and there is a $3 per bag extra processing fee for card users. The elevator and my room were not lovely. There is a fly in my room, the AC is always down, a door that leads directly to the neighbor's room, a window with a broken wall, which leads to noises from construction and the street. I agree with many reviews about the property with outdated, noisy, and having a down AC. I would recommend staying elsewhere if you have more budget; if not, you can choose this hotel if you can bear with all of the above.

The room was not so spacious however it fulfilled our one night stay. Check in staff was great and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again as it's close distance to alot of attractions if you don't mind a 20min walk depending on where you're going.

Great location

The room was really small, like couldn't open my suitcase on the floor small. The location was great and I was really only using it to sleep, so that was okay with me. The staff was amazing when I checked in (around 2pm), but rude when I had questions at night (around 9pm). I used the public restroom and it was really really gross. You need a key to get in, so it's not like random people from the NYC streets were in and out using it.

This is very old property. It is well maintained, and looks nice. But it's missing some basic hotel stuff. No coffeemaker, no bar soap, no iron, no wash cloths. Weird to be missing such basics. Room are very small, but look nice. Like I said, really old property from when rooms were tiny, but made up as nice as possible. Would have given 5 stars if it wasn't missing basics.

Do not stay at this property. It’s an overpriced hostel at best. From the moment we checked in it was awful. Booked 4 rooms. We didn’t check in until 7:45 PM that night. When I went to my room, there was urine all over the toilet seat. I went down to the front desk and complained. They said they would send housekeeping. I went back to my room at 11:30pm still no housekeeping. Absolutely disgusting. Other rooms were not cleaned either. One of the beds wasn’t made up in the double room. Moldy pillows in one room. When we requested to move, they showed us a room with no TV, no baseboard and a disgusting bathroom. Mercedes the night manager wouldn’t answer the phone to hotels.com so we had to go down stairs. She said she would refund us the money but we had to pay for the first night, which was uncalled for considering we left before midnight and had to find another hotel. Didn’t receive my refund for the $321 in taxes I paid when I checked in so I had to go back two days later. The day manager was so lovely. However, she did inform me that I hadn’t checked out, which is weird cause I had already got a confirmation email confirming refund. She did it there and then for me. I read on one of the reviews that it was recently renovated. I asked the day manager she says it was under new management and that the owners were from London and owned lots of hostels which made lots of sense. Do not book this Hotel is not a four-star. It’s one at best.
Urine on toilet seat when I checked in
AC vent
Dirty pillows and the stench of them.
