Aiden by Best Western Darling Harbour

Aiden is 10/10! The location is perfect, across the street from the Maritime Museum and Darling Harbour, a short 15 minute walk into the city and only about 200m from the Light Rail station. Excellent value, especially compared to some of the overrated and crowded competition nearby. My room was lovely, the sparkling water on-tap in each floor is genius and breakfast was delicious. Nice vibe in the bar but truly the best thing about this great hotel is the staff! So helpful and friendly. I’m looking forward to my next stay.

Lovely, compact rooms. The city view was worth paying for. High quality extras- tea bags, coffee pods, biscuits and filtered water taps with sparkling water. Downstairs bar has a small but great menu. Included breakfast (if booked) is a la carte. I enjoyed something different from the breakfast menu every day and they were all really excellent. A quiet dinner there was also very relaxing one night. Easy to eat here as a solo traveller; always felt cosy and relaxed. Staff professional and great.

The Queen bed was wonderful for a great night's sleep! The facilities in the room, though small in size, were very good; the Nespresso machine and Rituals products and little biscuit treats made our stay special. Great planning of floorspace and facilities! There were refill stations for still/sparkling water on our floor, excellent quality. The breakfast menu was limited but very tasty. The evening menu was similar. There was a very relaxing ambience in the hotel with a quiet area for reading and working. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The Central location of the Aiden hotel is so convenient for the ferries and light rail, Hop on Bus and Darling Harbour tourist attractions. The wharf restaurants at Pyrmont bridge were just across from the hotel. Highly recommended! Thank you Aiden hotel!

The lady who welcomed me on the first day was nice & helped me get late checkout as well. Also, throughout my stay, I was welcomed by the very kind & friendly receptionist: "Samuel". He is very professional with his service & helped me get a few items I needed in my room. Also, he let me keep my bags at the hotel till my flight time so that I can enjoy my city tour without ant worries. When it comes to rooms, they are packed with everything you need. The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were great. I loved the shower cabinet and big TV screen. In addition, they have MODA Still & Sparkling water taps available on all floors for free, which I have never seen in a hotel in Australia before! It was amazing to refill my own bottles whenever I need and the room service people also did a great job cleaning the room daily. A very elegant touch was they also have a Dyson hair dryer in the room along with a clothes steamer. The air conditioning worked nicely, and the free WiFi was fast. The hotel is literally a 5-25 minute walk to Barangaroo Avenue, Darling Harbour, QVB, and George Street's Tram, with all the cafes and restaurants that you would need. It is so close to Circular Quay, Sydney Opera House & Sydney Harbour Bridge as well. Overall, it was a fantastic stay at Aiden Darling Harbour and I loved having it as my home there for a while. I would be happy to come back soon & enjoy the beautiful stay.

Great location, felt very at home during my ten night stay. The staff were super friendly, room was immaculate, bed comfy, good aircon, I would not hesitate to stay again. Room was a bit on of the small side, but entirely functional, I had everything I needed for a ten night stay. Casting to room TV was very convenient. I also found the room to be well sound proofed, so slept really well.
