Satisfactory hotel. Bit noisy at night on the road side but it is Temple Bar after all. Only real problem (for several people who were trying to book in at the same time as me) was that the hotel does not take payment by Maestro/Switch	report this review as inappropriate

I have stayed here before and really loved the stylish rooms, i thought maybe i was just lucky and all the rooms might not be of the same quality because it is such good value but once again i was very happy with everything, great place to stay if spending a night on the town.	report this review as inappropriate

The Hotel seems to be little-known among taxi drivers. The original hotel entrance on Parliament Street is no longer in use except as a fire exit and the "new" front door is around the back on the corner of Essex Gate & Upper Exchange Street. Perhaps that is why this is a hidden gem. We had a room of the 3rd floor - the ground floor bar is open each night and can be noisy. City noise did just about get through the double glazing, but not enough to stop us sleeping. The décor was stylised 1930's pastiche, but our room were reasonably sized and comfortable. We spent four days here and were able to walk everywhere, to museums, attractions, restaurants, pubs & entertainment. Prices were reasonable and there was lots of choice - competition helping the visitor. Eating out for lunch or in the evening involves difficult choices over what style of food to go for. The range of cuisine & freshly cooked food in the immediate area is huge and it all looked good. Book a table or go early unless you want to risk being turned away, but we had no problems finding somewhere to eat each day. We will be back and we will not bother looking for an alternative hotel. The staff were pleasant & helpful, it is right on the edge of Temple Bar and two minutes from the River Liffey. If we'd gone to every restaurant the staff recommended we'd have needed another week.	report this review as inappropriate

Room was excellent. Very big and comfortable. Hotel is very centrally located in temple bar. I stayed on a Monday night when street noise was minimal, but I would suggest that the hotel would not be good for those looking for a quiet night closer to, or at the weekend due to it's proximity to the bars of the area	report this review as inappropriate

The room was very spacious clean and comfortable, families with children beware of the TV there are a couple of channels with explicit images to be seen at all times of the day! Admittedly, we booked rather late so we probably had a noisier room than most at the hotel i.e. traffic, road and pavement cleaning machines, but anyone who visits Dublin especially after a good day and excellent night out should sleep well enough. On the whole it is a very nice hotel with friendly staff and good food. Monday to Friday rates are reasonable. I would definitely use this hotel again AAAA+++++++	report this review as inappropriate

Very nice hotel, and excellent location as far as getting around by foot. My only complaint is that our room was right above the outdoor smoking section of a neighboring bar, so there was a lot of noise at night. Closing the window didn't make much difference, except to make the room even hotter than it already was. Fiddling with the temperature controls in the room didn't appear to have any effect. But, that aside, I would definitely recommend the Paramount.	report this review as inappropriate
