Yelp.com Review - by Geoff D.

3.0 of 5 stars. I like the trendy lobby, bar scene and breakfast restaurant. The rooms are ridiculously small even by New York standards -- worth it when they are offering a not-uncommon steep discount, but...

boutique stay by Jen C. at InsiderPages

My husband picked this for a special day out. Interesting entry way, with the roses in the wall. The room we had was very small and the window didn't open. Elevators light up in different colors. Comfortable...

Hotel New York by Alma Z. at InsiderPages

When entering the hotel the first thing you notice is how dark the lobby is. Which sucks if you want to relax and read before or while you're checked in. Some of the rooms are very small and hard to walk...

I'm glad I stayed here. The hotel lobby and the outside of the hotel is really nice. The room was SOO small but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice and bigger than the one I have at home. The...

Yelp.com Review - by Susan S.

1.0 of 5 stars. The best thing about this hotel is the wall of roses on entrance. The lobby is too dark to sit and read/rest, the coffee bar is subpar compared to regular deli coffee and some rooms are so small you...

Its the Second Choice.

I have been staying at the Paramount for several years now. Its my second choice, not the first. Primarily because the hotel refuses to reinvent itself with changing times. Perhaps the only reason i prefer...

Not worth the money by G L. at InsiderPages

As I usually stay in traditional chain hotels, I decided to try out the eclectic Paramount boutique hotel. I paid around $225 a night to stay here (before tax and parking!), and it was not worth the money....

good place if you only plan on sleeping there

I would not stay here unless you are only getting a hotel to have a place to lay your head for the night. The rooms and bathrooms are like a dormatory. I dont have anything trully negative to say about the...

very disappointing

I'm in NYC hotels regularly, and this was by far one of the worst experiences I've had. First of all, any decent hotel should have a bed frame for each room. However, my 10 x 10 room had the bed on the floor,...

It Blows

This place has only one main good point, LOCATION. Ok, the room was quiet, except for occaisional a/c noise. The room size was not an issue, once you moved the crappy furniture out of way. The bed sucked, the...

Can you say Shady?!?

The public areas of the hotel are classic of the Schragger motif ... but the room we stayed in couldn't have been shadier! I felt like I was at a no-tell motel instead of a top rated spot! After staying at the...

Excellent Value

Granted, the rooms are very small (but absolutely clean as far as I could see), the A/C is kind of noisy (but with the A/C the room is surprisingly quiet) and the place might be not as hip as it used to be....

A big disappointment

Tiny rooms, noisy air conditioning, overpriced, a con (given the price). Only positive is the good mid-town location (if that's what you need). Stay somewhere less pretentious - this once-trendy place will...
