This hotel was ok. Upon arrival was very impressed by reception and staff however lifts were not working properly, and rooms were very small with cracks on the ceiling and walls. Window was rattling all night and the tv did not work properly. I would not go back to this hotel in the future.

Good staff and clean rooms

Small rooms, location not as good as was professed

Staff friendly and helpful. Gloomy at rear of hotel but rooms not too bad although very small. Problems with plumbing in our room that grumbled when the toilet was flushed.

Clean, friendly staff

Noisy plumbing in room. Room very small

Great location close to city centre and all the nightlife. Rooms very clean, if a little compact and staff were very helpful and friendly.

Location was perfect for what I was looking for

Breakfast was plentiful but a little disorganised

If I had to pay standard rates for this hotel I'd be appalled. It's supposed to be a nice hotel and from the lobby gives that impression, the rooms were just frankly a disgrace especially for a supposed 3* hotel

Friendly Staff

The rooms was a disgrace, damp on the wall, no shower

Unpleasant girl to 'un'welcome us to the Hotel on Saturday afternoon, but lovely staff on Sunday morning. Rooms a little on the small side with dark decor - however, everything clean and reasonably comfortable,Breakfast was plentiful - all in all, certainly very good value for money.

toiletries, crisp, clean sheets

the receptionist - what a dragon!!

The hotel is a good price, rooms are nice and very clean with all the facilities you need for a short stay. Breakfast was excellent.Situated in what appears to be a fairly run down area, but in walking distance from the custard factory which was our purpose.Overall the stay was good but not excellent, the hotel is fairly soul less, and on arrival the reception staff was rude and less than welcoming, having said that i would recommend it just for the pupose of sleep and breaksfast.

the rooms were clean and nicely decorated

some reception staff were incredibly ignorant

Everything was fine except the hotel said it would accept dogs by arrangement yet I was told I would have to pay an extra 20 pounds to do so as the room was not big enough yet there was plenty of room there for my two. The breakfast was okay except neither of the coffee machines worked and only instant coffee was available.

Very handy for access to the Irish Centre.

breakfast

Lovely hotel. All staff that we met were helpful. Impressed with the entrance and and the appearance of downstairs. Very clean and tidy.
Upstairs wasn't so great, no fancy decorating up here. Corridor carpets were shabby.
I was quietly impressed with our room, ir was quite big and the bathroom was huge but no shower!!!The room was very clean but the walls were paper thin. You could hear peopl passing in the corridor and also the peoples conversations nextdoor. No very private.
Breakfast was very nice.
Overall a good hotel, no far from local shops and a great price.

The price

Paper thin walls

The hotel is in need of major refurbishment. The room had damp patches on the walls and the paint is the bathroom was peeling off. The breakfast was disgusting. Nothing looked edible

Price

Decor, food, room condition

Gloomy and uninspiring, this hotel is in urgent need of an overhaul. Alhough most of the common parts are acceptable, the bedrooms we used were sadly lacking when compared to other similarly priced venues. Decor very poor in the rooms,(bordering on grubby and shabby); rumbling plumbing and limited supplies of hot water. We will not be returning in the forseeable future.

Very little...

Quite a lot!

The Paragon continues to improve. Much has been spent on the Public Rooms in recent years & it shows. Bedroom adequate bathroom in need of refurbishment. Breakfast was better than average. On the whole reasonable value for money.

Friendly Staff

Scruffy Bathroom

Hotel great location for air night club.Hotel great for price/rooms basic/need of refurb. Young bar staff useless and arrogant. Maybe because it was new years eve

location

young foreign staff

Rooms were very disappointing, very old, wall paper peeling really awful, but clean. beds were clean also. In the middle of refurb.

Another issue, lots of people smokling outside and we couldn't get through the door on several occasions.

Our tv, was out of sink too!

Nice old building

Rooms

good value hotel, but would have liked a bath in the bathroom. Actual bedroom was quite clean but bathroom was bad. Walls needed a wash and some of our towels were stained/dirty

breakfast

bathroom cleanliness

On entering the hotel, it has a very nice feel. The receptionist was friendly and informative. The hotel itself looks clean and attractive and overall my stay was quite enjoyable. The only downside is the fact that the car park is over the road and i found it a bit awkward carrying my bags across the road(and also that the price of parking is not included in the price of the room). Also despite the fact that there were no smoking signs in the room, my room smelt very strongly of cigarettes as soon as i walked in, which was slightly off putting.

The room was clean

The strong smell of cigarettes in my room and the fact you have to pay to park.

Good value hotel, appears to be set up mainly for conferences and events. We had a small twin room on the first floor - recently refurbished (or at least redecorated) to a reasonable standard, but very small. Definitely worth asking for a superior room, I understand that not all of the rooms have been refurbished at present (Sept-07).

Friendly staff

Close to the city centre, but not the best surroundings

This hotel was recommended by someone @ the Custard Factory, it was certainly worth the £46 we paid, because without asking we were upgraded.
The room was very stylish and comfortable and the fact that it had secure parking was a great bonus.
It would have been useful if there were some hooks in the bathroom sadly there were none, making it difficult to manage
