Location., location : being just across Parkway Parade Shopping complex is a big plus. That complex has numerous shops and restaurants, banks, money changers, and a food court selling delicious local food. Bus transportation to Orchard Road and the CBD is convenient, and taxis are easily available. The stsandard room is comfortable and big, but the bathroom is dated and can do with some remodeling. Housedeeping may want to check on shower curtains, as the one in my bathroom has mold and mildew in it. Water pressure in the bathroom is very low and showering is a problem. I stayed on the 10th floor which can be a factor with this problem. I may return to this hotel for my next trip. The standard room is big and comfortable, and I do like shopping at Parkway Parade so staying here is a big plus. I will ask to stay at a lower floor the next time, so hopefully the water pressure will be better.
Shopping Tip : Across from the hotel is Parkway Parade which is an excellent shopping complex. At the back of the hotel and across the road is Katong Shopping Center, and it has a great discount cosmetic store on the 1st floor.

near the airport, take time about 10 min. The room is wide and clean. It's far away from the downtown and difficult to take MRT. Were welcomed very well by the hotel staff. As well as facilities and services to the guest. In addition, place in room clean and spacious facilities in the rooms full.
Shopping Tip : In many shopping downtown.

The room is very spacious and quiet and the hotel is near to the shopping mall where you can get lots of good foods at the shopping mall basement food court and nice clothings. The toilet is very run down and there is no rubber stopper for the bathtub in order to fill up the water. The water outlet on the bathtub was rusty and not in a good conditions. The room was spacious and quiet. The best part of staying in this hotel was the location as it was just directly opposite of a shopping mall where you can find nice foods and nice clothings.
The foods and clothings are not expensive and you have a lots of choice to choose from.
Restaurant Tip : Go to the basement of the shopping mall and you can find various kind of asian foods at great price.

Well located near Airport, so less time is wasted in reaching the airport. Restaurants and malls nearby are good. Staff at the hotel is friendly. My room was fine but old. Nothing much to complain. Food is fine. City centre is far off and reaching there thru the traffic is time taking. Better provide 30 minutes for travel by taxi. Nearby MRT is 10 minutes away by taxi, but its efficient transport. I stayed in Hotel Paramount from 24th September to 26th September, 2009. Hotel is good for business traveller. Numerous restaurants and few good malls nearby. Close to Airport. Staff is efficient and helpful. This may not be a good choice for a tourist, as what you save by staying in this hotel, spend for taxi/travelling to city centre. But overall good hotel.
Shopping Tip : Good malls are in walking distance and few good restaurants nearby.

Shopping center is right at hotel lower floors and the hotel is just across from Parkway Parade shopping center. Large rooms. Nice lobby but the room was very dated. Linoleum in the bathroom was peeling and the room and hallways were musty. For practically the same price the Roxy next door is the better value. The Peranakan further down East Coast road is much newer and although the rooms were much smaller the price was half as much. Taxis did not seem to queue at the hotel lobby. AS such you either had to walk out to the street (east Coast or Marine Parade, or even to the neighboring hotel to get a taxi. The bar ambiance at the lower shopping floors of the hotel building turned the place into a seedy location in the evening.

Close to the Airport and easy access to other areas of Singapore General appeal when entering the hotel is bland, almost lifeless My last stay at the Paramount Hotel in Singapore was a great disappointment. I checked in approximately 1800 hrs and the room I was given initially was very dirty and hand not been cleaned after the prior occupants had checked out.
The bed was unmade and dirty linen, the garbage was full and overflowing, the bathroom was dirty. All in all the room was a disaster.
Redeeming factor was they transferred us to another room immediately.
I have stayed at the Paramount hotel numerous times during our travels to and from the Philippines and this time, by and far was the worst experience I have had with this hotel. I would honestly have to consider starting to use another hotel in place of this one if the service quality remains as it was this trip.

near from huge shopping mall, airport old, far from city (by taxi, approx.S$10) It takes only 10 min from airport. If your freight schedule is quite early, the location of this hotel is very helpful. However, all equipmet is old, just looks like 80's.

Spacious room, convenient. Too many sleazy pubs and females. Not convenient for single female occupants to wonder out in the night. The room is spacious. Facilities are exceptable. The only disadvantage is the pubs surrounding the hotel which may not be family friendly or female friendly.

Service level of the support staff (laundry and cleaners) has seemed to have dropped Normally a good hotel to stay in, but this time the room was not cleaned one day despite the "Make up Room" sign on the door and it was a fight to get laundry put in. They accept laundry until llam but at 10am when called they said they would not take it. Strange because the last time I stayed in this hotel the staff were great...this time around, it was very different.

Big rooms and beds. Quiet air-con. Tea/coffee facilities good. Use of swimming pool.Very good restaurant. Bathroom could be refurbished, but it is acceptable and very clean. Could do with cushions on the poolside loungers. We were very pleased to stay here for 1 night, but would have happily stayed much longer. The staff are very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us. The buffet in the restaurant in the evening was excellent. We'd certainly recommend this hotel to anyone, as long as they don't mind being at a distance from Orchard Road. We had visited Orchard Road several times in the past so it was good to stay nearer the water.

Our room was spacious, clean and well appointed. It had a safe in the room which was very handy. The bathroom was large and offered toothbrushes & toothpaste as well as usual soaps, shampoos etc. A paper was delivered in the morning which was a very nice touch. The view was excellent . The Hotel is close to a very large shopping mall across the road. We only stayed a day but found the hotel facilities very good and staff courteous & friendly. An easy run to and from the airport. The television selection was poor and you would have to pay to get an upgrade. This could be annoying if staying longer at the hotel . We liked the hotel and although we were there for only a day, found the room very comfortable, clean and well appointed. The need for a safe in the room saves on having to keep going to reception to get your belongings, so it was handy this hotel had one in the room. The Hotel view was excellent. It is close to a very large shopping mall across the road. We found staff were courteous & friendly. The Hotel is conveniently located for an easy run to and from the airport. I always aim to get breakfast included with the room price as this saves on the travel budget. Starbuck's restaurant isn't far and cheap by taxi.
Shopping Tip : The hotel is across from a very large shopping mall. So there is affordable eating and good shopping close by. Starbucks isn’t far to go to eat and cheap by taxi. I would recommend the airport shuttle to for transferring to & from hotel to airport as it’s much cheaper than taxi as there is a 30% surcharge after 11pm. The traveller can access the shuttle before they leave airport. The shuttle leaves approx every 15-20mins and only costs Sing $9 each person. Whenever I travel I ensure I have included enough money in the country’s currency to pay for transport independent of spending money.

Location is great for food lovers and shoppers. Generally the hotel smells stale and musty from the reception to the rooms. Refurbishing is very much needed. Location of this hotel is great as it is very accessible to some very good hawker food especially 'Katong Laksa' which can be found on East Coast Road at the back of the hotel. Great shopping,more food and money changer are also available opposite the front.Transport by bus is convenient right at the front with Taxis also easily available. The rates are on the expensive side considering the rooms are rather small, tired and on the musky side.
