Overview

As one of the most recognizable destinations anywhere in the world, Times Square is a destination for guests from all around the globe. Filled with personality, New York’s Paramount Hotel is one of the most convenient locales for exploring this iconic destination.

Originally built in 1928, the building has plenty of history. Even though it was remodeled in 1998, it has retained its historic charm, making it one of the more memorable hotels around Times Square. The rooms start at 100 square feet, making them ideal for single travelers with an eye towards value. However, the Paramount Hotel also includes suites that get up to almost 1,000 square feet, perfect for travelers who want a little more space and luxury.

Despite being in the heart of one of the busiest areas in the city, the Paramount boasts a calm and quiet experience. This relaxation is boosted by in-room amenities like a pillowtop mattress, Egyptian cotton sheets, and high definition televisions.

The hotel features the Paramount Café, designed for continental breakfast in the morning and grab-and-go food items through the evening, as well as bar service as night. However, at less than a half mile away from Times Square and the heart of Broadway, hotel guests are just minutes away from a plethora of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Foodies will particularly enjoy the fact that the Paramount Hotel is just steps away from famed Restaurant Row.

With value options and a big personality, the Paramount Hotel makes an exciting option for visiting some of New York City’s biggest landmarks.

Very good
Anonymous, Apr 2026
The room was very small and didnt have a refrigerator, which was disappointing. The bed was comfortable and since we were on a higher floor, noise was not a problem. The hotel lobby was very cool and they offered entertainment nightly which was a nice bonus. The location here cannot be beat if you are going to a play or visiting times square. Overall, I enjoyed our stay and would book here again.

The location was great, but there was an underlying smell covered up with some very strong perfuming scents. My room had peeling enamel in the bath and no remote for the tv in the room.

Pros (+) The location and the lobby
Cons (-) The dirtiest, most disgusting room I’ve ever been in. Rust, broken objects, outlets did not work and I found other people’s wads of hair.

Pros (+) The location of the hotel was great, a two minute walk to times square.
Cons (-) For a four star hotel, I would have expected at least a coffee machine in the room. I booked a king bed room, the door didn't work to get inside the room, so they said they didn't have any others available and had to downgrade me to a queen room. In the new room, the heater was soo loud, and sounded like there was some rodent trying to get inside. I called them to get them to either fix it or chan...
