Paramount Hotel Times Square

The hotel is in a great location - right next to Times Square. The lobby is stylish and boujee but the rooms are small and basic. However, they have everything you need for a city break. Be aware that the hotel charges $3 per item in their luggage storage room which is outrageous. The view from our room at 5am was a brilliant sunrise view!!

I won’t be booking this hotel ever again. The quality is poorer than some countryside motels. The aircon is rattling and sounds more like a motor generator. It is so loud it’s akin to noise pollution and torture. Getting any quality sleep is impossible even with ear plugs (listen to the video clip) as the aircon is right next to my bed where my head is. I tried to change rooms, but they were full. I tried to change hotels, but unfortunately the neighbouring ones were also full. Hygiene is very bad - the shower doesn’t fully drain. For both the aircon and drainage problems, they said they would send and engineer to take a look and try to fix the issues, but during my stay I don’t believe anything was done.  Don’t stay in this hotel if you have a choice.

Our stay felt like a great bargain, the room was small but for the price and location felt like a steal. Room was clean and mostly well maintained. Rest of the hotel was very nicely decorated and felt premium. I’d definitely book again

Unbeatable Midtown location, steps from Broadway theaters and Times Square

The location is very convenient, you can join a local tour to other cities and those tour typically depart from Times Square, which is within walking distance from the hotel. Musical theatres are also within walking distance. However, the hotel room is too small, and room condition is not good. Maybe hotels in Time Square are simply too expensive, and you are paying for the location, not for luxury.
