The 64-room Paramount Hotel, just south of the Liffey, has everything tourists want in accommodation, and the rates show it. Though it's at the upper reaches of Cheapo limits, we couldn't refuse this find. There were too many pluses for the price: stylish rooms, dozens of amenities, and a great location minutes from Dublin Castle.
Rooms have a 1930s sensibility with lamps, drapery, and leather headboards that wouldn't stand out in a John Barrymore film. However, all the comforts, from soundproofed windows to pay-per-view movie access, are completely au current. Despite the Paramount being a steel-and-glass Depression-era building, restorations have ensured that it's wheelchair friendly.
However, be sure to book early because the secret is out. During our last visit, the hotel was booked and reception had to turn away numerous customers.
