Description: We were very disappointed that The Paramount wouldn't let us check in early after our long transatlantic flight. So we had to walk around in the rain and sit in cafes until check-in time.
The reception area/lobby of the hotel is very small. We were very impressed, however, once we were able to check in and go to our room. We were on the top floor and had a great terrace overlooking Parliament Street, which was quite a pleasant surprise. The room was beautiful—very tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, and the bathroom was brand new. We even had a trouser press, which was a fun new toy for me. We requested more towels once and the knock on our door came not 5 minutes later.
The central location was perfect for exploring Dublin on foot—right on the edge of Temple Bar. It was very lively in the area during the weekend, but we were not disturbed as we were out late every night. There were great restaurants, cafes and convenience stores right on the block and in the surrounding area. With so many good restaurants in the neighborhood, we never tried the restaurant in the hotel.
I would definitely choose The Paramount again for future visits to Dublin. It ended up being a great choice. We couldn't have been happier.
