Aiden by Best Western Darling Harbour

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.

Aiden at Darling Harbour is located ideally, from my perspective as a business visitor to Sydney. The support staff were fantastic: attentive, courteous and helpful. The bathroom was excellent, with a very nice shower in which one can have ample water flow from both the ceiling shower and the handheld spray arm shower simultaneously. I prefer walking extensively to “shake hands” with great cities of the world, and Aiden fits the bill wonderfully in this regard. I also like to utilize mass transit for getting from, and back to, the airport and found it very easy to do so for returning to the airport on this trip. Owing to the nature of being with several colleagues and varied daily destinations, I also rented a vehicle for this trip and the parking setup, facilitated by Aiden, worked out very well and with reasonable daily cost. The boutique size of the hotel also worked very well in comparison to the overwhelm that’s possible with some of the larger neighboring hotels.

Staff were lovely and helpful, the Hotel decor is modern but very inviting. They also offer luggage drop off and storage until your room is ready, which leaves you free to go sightseeing. The breakfast was the perfect start to the day, the coffee was good and the rooms very comfortable ( even though a bit on the smaller side) it had everything you need. Plus water stations on every floor to fill drink bottles, sparkling and still. Security is another plus , but the best part would have to be the position! Just across the road from Pyrmont hotel, which has great views from the top deck, reasonably priced meals and drinks and a relaxing vibe. It's a walk away from several tourist attractions Madame Tussaudes, Sydney Wild life and Sea life. Across the road to the left is the Maritime Museum. Over the foot bridge which takes you to the first three attractions are, shops, cafes, restaurants and an unbelievable gelato shop. To the right and down the road a little is a small shopping precinct, chemist, restaurants, supermarket ect. The rooms have lovely luxurious bath products and organic tea, coffee pods, small pack of cookies, even slippers are provided. We definitely enjoyed our stay, we literally were able to walk to most places in the area and ubered everywhere else. But most importantly, we slept well. Beds are very comfortable and the rooms although modern felt very homely. Thanks again for a wonderful stay. Would add photos, but last time I tried everything I wrote disappeared.

Perfect location walking distance to CBD, and nearby nice places to eat in Darling Harbour as well. Not a particularly noisy area either, or at least good noise insulation at the hotel; I slept very soundly! The rooms were clean and very well-appointed (e.g., Dyson hairdryer, coffee pod machine as well as kettle, clothes steamer). The downstairs restaurant is also great and does a fantastic coffee.
