Paramount Hotel — Hotel in George Town

Real disappointed this time. 2 days ago, we stayed here. The aircon was klonking throughout. It was so noisy. We reported to front desk. They came to check when we were out. When we came back they said they will send someone to check again. A guy did come but couldn't do anything. He said he will get his brother and never came back. Although they did replaced the towels, the room was not cleaned. Our shoes were in the exact position that we have left them.

I travelled so much and this is the only disposable toothbrush that really is for 1 time use.

The hotel is located off Gurney Drive road by the sea and can be difficult to find. Spacious room with old furniture and basic facilities which give homely feel like back in 60/70's. The building itself has its own story to tell and i love the huge living room and the old bungalow itself. However, the management should consider to change the old and worn blanket for better comfort and impression to the hotel guests. It is suitable for those who look for basic and quiet place to stay downtown. Good to stroll along the beach in the evening and see some fisherman in action and enjoy the sunset at the nearby restaurant. However, you will need car/transport to move around if you decided to stay there. Parking can be a problem in the evening while the popular seafood...
