For the money and location, you really can't beat this hotel! Right in the middle of all your favorite Broadway events! Especially my favorite, Sweeny Todd! 3 minute walk to the middle of Time Square. Rooms are on the smaller side, but that is pretty standard for Manhattan/New York. Very clean rooms though and the staff there are super nice and friendly especially the room attendants!

Small rooms, horrible AC and cheap sheets

Great central location. Staff knowledgeable. However, the building is around 100 years old with maintenance getting behind schedule. Air-conditioning noisy and seemed like controls were being overridden by alien force located somewhere else. No fridge or coffee/tea making facilities. The ice machine on the 4th floor died on our 2nd day and remained broken for the rest of our stay. TV broken - turned on OK but unable to pick up any channels. Number 2 elevator of 4 died on our first day with the door locked into constant open/close cycle. Fixed but appeared to want to fail again at any time. Most expensive room in 7 weeks in USA and the smallest.

Das Hotel ist super zentral, trotzdem für New York ziemlich leise. Betten waren perfekt und soweit war alles auch gut gepflegt. Für das Preis-Leistung Verhältnis in der zentralen Lage wirklich zu empfehlen. Gutes WLAN und Getränke kann man sich kostenlos zubereiten bzw heißes Wasser und kaltes gibt's im 4 Stock. Fenster lassen sich schwer öffnen was zwischendurch mal ganz schön gewesen wäre. Insgesamt würde ich jederzeit wieder in dieses Hotel absteigen. Daumen hoch!

First broken door jam on our room. Was promised maintenance/ engineering would fix it in 15 minutes. 3 towels in a in a superior 2 double bed room. No soap. Just a body wash it the shower.
Shampoo no conditioner
Advertised room service there is none. Unless you consider maid service room service.
No food to order to your room. But they said. The bar grill serves food. No. They dont its just a bar. Unless it was on another floor, which they Should make you aware of at check in. Only a bakery café exists. Used the shower in the bathroom then tub clogged so I was showering standing in the water. Finally after waiting and hour for them not to fix the door. We met with the hotel manager and were given another room. Also the floors outside of the lobby smell like unwashed hairy armpits.
Meanwhile being pressed for time to see a show. Overall would not be staying here again based on my experience.

Rooms are not fit for 1wk stay
Water and coffee advertised as free is only available on 4th floor. Not every floor or even in your room. Having said that the ice machine is broken a d there hasnt been any coffee yet.... You pay a "facility" charge which I was told was for the gym and bar. We won't use gym and bar is not free! How is it a facility. You pay extra for 4☆ its the facilities that make a hotel 4☆ so why are you paying $120 extra again. Lers face it coffee making facilities 5 floors away can hardly be collected in your pjs. The hotel is old. Dingy. Smelly. Staff are unhelpful. Fans are old. Windows and blinds are dirty and dusty. Right now it's the worst money ive ever spent and its taken an age to save it.
I waited at the reception desk for ages yesterday to discuss clothes storage problem, while listening to staff in room chatting and laughing and not one person came out to assist.

The infrastructure of the hotel and the room are good, the location is excellent but it is impossible to sleep, the sound insulation from outside to inside the room is simply horrible, I spent the night without sleeping.

For the price and location it’s a great option for a trip to NYC. Staff is great and very friendly.

Very nice staff. Clean rooms. Great location. I would recommend this place if you want to be near Times Square.
Some things to note... no coffee in rooms, no wash cloth in bathrooms. Lobby is under construction and if they tell you to use electrical outlets (I needed to charge phone) on floor - Don't, they are not safe and don't work anyway. If you arrive early they will charge you to store your luggage. $2 before check-in, $3 after check-out but you can go in to retrieve items if needed.

Staff were friendly, but the room was very dark and dull with an ugly view out of the window. Beds were comfy though and room seemed clean.

I wish there was a NEGATIVE 5 stars
I booked through Expedia all the pics that they have on Expedia and the hotel website is a scam
This is how the rooms really look like with smelly carpet.

Paid 1200 for this for 4 nights.
Extremely disappointed!!
DON NOT BOOK HERE!!!!

The rooms and elevators are tiny but serviceable. The lobby and staff are great. Right across the street from the Richard Rodgers theater and a block off time square. You can't beat the location. So happy we booked this hotel. It was a key part of a great trip to NYC.

I've stayed here as well as at most of the hotels in midtown over the past decade and for the price and experience there are few options that you have a safe bet on leaving satisfied and the Paramount is one of them. I have to state the room will be good enough and clean while not breaking your bank.

Don't let the often not pleasant attitude of the front desk employees keep you from enjoying a night 100 ft from Times Square with Sound proof rooms, modest amenities which means your not putting down $100 on a extra fee for a hotdog and a Fallout shelter to boot what else can a "Doomsday Prepper" i mean tourist want.

Should be more of a 1-2 stars hotel at most. No refrigerator in rooms. First time I see this and I traveled accros the US and many countries. They could install one for an extra fee.
They don’t keep your luggages either, unless you pay for an extra fee as well; same shock again as it’s the first time I see this. Even the cheapest hotel I’ve been to offer that service for free.
Impossible to get Netflix work on the tv. Needed to install a bunch of app, scan some qr code, yet never manage to get it work…

Great place to stay! So close to Times Square. Will definitely visit again!

Hotel charged $120 a welcoming facility fee on check in, hotel lobby was under construction, other seating areas restricted, charged me $3 a bag when dropping off on last day. Which surprised me as I had paid already. Cleaners where Fab and location. Lifts where long wait, rooms not great condition, facilities not finished, management after all my $. Defo won’t return

Great location minutes away from times square . Rooms are small but you're not there so didn't bother me at all. Brilliant value for money

Small rooms but that’s anywhere in NYC. Great locations just steps from Time Square.

I'm going to give the Paramount Times Square a 4 of 5 - but only for a very specific type of stay. If you are coming to NY for a 3 show Broadway weekend, this is your place. It's right in the middle of the theater district - you can see the stage door at the Imperial and the Lunt-Fontanne is legit right down the block. If you have a small group, you could totally fan out to stalk different box offices for last minute deals. You're also close enough to feel the vibe of Times Square without all the noise (but you will need to close the blackout curtains at night).

Staff will be courteous and helpful. The rooms are on the small side - and if you're not used to NYC prices the rate may feel high but it's really not. It's comparable with the other hotels in the area as is the amount of space. Did not try any of the hotel restaurants - we were too close to good pizza and food carts to bother. I will say that's the other nice thing about the location - Patzeria Perfect Pizza is next door (yes there's a line, wait in it anyway), Hurley's Restaurant & Bar is like two blocks away, Pati's is right on the corner for breakfast.

Overall would recommend for the theater tripper.

Editing to add - the elevators are slow. Don't fall into the trap of thinking "we can leave late, the theater is right across the street." It is right across the street but everyone in the hotel is also waiting for the elevator to go right across the street. Plan extra time.

The rooms have been updated and modernized and very comfortable with a very large shower. The location is hard to beat if you like Times Square.

We booked our room online but it didn't make it very clear that we were going to be charged an additional 120 dollars when we checked in at the desk. When we asked the staff, they said it was a service fee, however, none of the services/facilities were even available (the gym was broken, and the study room and lounge were also closed off). The room was not hygenic, mirror and windows not wiped off, bathroom is extremely small too. Location is great however, in time square
