What Locals say about Business Bay
Paramount Tower Hotel & Residences
We had a lovely time at the pool and during our stay here

While the building itself boasts beauty, the lackluster management significantly diminishes its livability. Basic necessities seem beyond their grasp, leading to a frustrating living experience. Additionally, excessive Airbnb usage causes numerous problems, resulting in the imposition of restrictive rules on residents.

The pool area looks amazing but the pool is quite dirty. The vents are full of hair and there’s a layer of black in the ridges of the pool. The AC bills are high. ISTA is the provider and the rates are 3 times the rates elsewhere. There are leaks that cannot be explained, in maintenance own words ‘we are responding to leaks everyday’.
