"excellent hotel, "

we loved the hotel the facilities, staff, the rooms, location, generally fantastic BUT the only thing that lets it down is the noise from the late bar opposite called the checz inn which finishes at 3 a.m , but there is people outside smoking , laughing, shouting right up to that time, if they invested in some double glazing or something to drown out the sound would benefit the hotel extremely, but apart from that we loved it.

"Great Hotel"

Another excellent stay at the Paramount. Lovely warm rooms. Very clean. We were on the 1st floor and it an be noisy because of surrounding pubs and passing traffic but we knew this from the last time we were there. Great breakfast and helpful staff. Will be back.

"Excellent hotel- beware of the noise!"

Overall, had a great stay in the Paramount hotel, impressed with our room and the whole hotel. However, being on floor 1 was not ideal. We were above the Turks Head, which had loud music (to be expected in Temple Bar I know, but the bass on this music was awful). However, would still recommend this hotel. We had a lovely time.

"Very comfy room, good breakfast & bar meals, Pleasant and helpful staff but the street noise!!!!!!!"

Make sure you book a room at the rear of the building on a high floor but still take your earplugs because the vibrant nightlife goes on until after 3:00am. Even so, a brilliant place to stay and Caroline ( the boss !! ) really looked after us.

"Very convenient location for all the major attractions."

Reception staff were helpful and prepared to make outings for us by phone and internet.The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Since the hotel is situated on the edge of the Temple Bar area, it was fairly quiet outside at night. We would stay there again.The Temple Bar area is great for food and pub entertainment.

"Good Location, Good Breakfast"

If you`re looking for somewhere near Temple Bar to stay at a reasoble price and a decent breakfast, give this hotel a try. The rooms were decent enough with everything you needed and staff were friendly and helpful. We were on the side near the bars and although my mate was woken by the revellers from the Czech bar over the road leaving at 3.00 am, I never heard a thing. The breakfast room turns into a nightclub at night which is a bit weird the next morning but id didn`t disturb any sleeping, but that may have been the Guinness.

"Not the hotel to go to if you want a quiet night but good service and well positioned "

We went to Dublin for a birthday weekend and so weren`t planning on having early nights, which was a good job as the hotel has a livelybar/club next door and if you are on the first floor, like we were, it could be rather noisey (club closes around 2.30am). However, the hotel itself was clean and tidy, service was good and our package included breakfast which was full Irish and/or continental and was excellent. Hotel is well positioned, within walking distance of main bars in Temple bar (5/10mins) and Dublin centre itself (15mins). Dublin is a great city to visit.

"excellent hotel, "

I have stayed at hotels all over the world and I would rate the Paramount amongst the top few, for a hotel in Irelands capital, `Dublin`, and to be so near to "Temple Bar", the night life centre it is definately good value with excellent service.

"Great Hotel in a Great Location"

If you`re looking for a hotel in Temple Bar then this is perfect. Walk straight through the main area of Temple Bar and 200 yards later you`re in the hotel. Rooms and facilities are very good and clean. Breakfast is excellent. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

"Hotel rooms excellent"

All bedrooms should have double glazed sealed units and air conditioning units becasue to leave the windows open to get some cool air, it is far too noisy into the very early hours as Dublin is such a busy place. As the first flight from Dublin back to Teesside means an early departure, Breakfast should be avilable from 7am not 8am. Apart from this the hotel is exceptionally clean and well located.

"Perfect Location"

We were a bit worried when we arrived that there would be a lot of noise from the Bar downstairs, but I can honestly say, that even though we were only on the first floor, we heard nothing. The hotel is in the perfect location with very easy access to anywhere, there is a hop on hop off bus stop at the top of the road, so even when it`s raining you don`t get too wet!!

"Good location; good room; comfortable beds; pleasant reception staff; breakfast better than expected"

Not your fault, but the street noise (Euro 2008) at 3 and 4am was a disturbance. Otherwise excellently situated for our two-day walk of old Dublin. Would recommend to friends on this basis.

"Good central location"

Hotel clean and tidy with very friendly and helpful reception staff - none of whom were Irish. Rooms spacious and on the upper floors surprisingly quiet considering the size of the bar/disco on the ground floor. Close to Temple Bar, Dublin Castle, City Hall and Trinity College. Good breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends visiting Dublin.

"All round winner"

This hotel was in a great location for temple bar and night life. Maybe not to everybodies taste but great for me!The rooms were clean and a good size. Staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast was also above average. I`d recommend this hotel to anybody having paid a lot more for a lot less in other capital cities.

The hotel was in an excellent location for the Temple bar, the rooms where spacious, and bedding and towels changed daily. The staff where pleasant and very helpful. In all we enjoyed our stay there and would definately be our first choice when visiting Dublin again.

"An extremely effeciently run operation that met our group`s needs perfectly. "

The cheerfullness of the staff and the excellence of the breakfasts will long be remembered by our group of Chelsea Pensioners. Although there are thriving nightspots in the surrounding areas our rooms on the third floor were quiet and airy. I thoroughly recommend the Paramount to those who want comfort and value for money whilst at the same time being close to places of interest and entertainment.
