Aiden by Best Western Darling Harbour

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.

I was hesitant at first that I room size was small but this small room was packed full of amenities and luxury. Every nook has wall plugs, lights, side table and other little surprises of convenience. We stay here because we had a conference nearby which means we’re out most of the day but we came back to a luxurious bed, bathroom, bathroom products by Rituals, quality coffee and tea, plus there are filtered AND sparkling water on tap on every floor. Location is right in front of the maritime museum, a very short walk to light rail, and opposite a pub. The food is also good in the lobby. Very impressed with this accomodation and will be sure to recommend and return to stay.

This is an excellent location just across from the Pyrmont Bridge with good options to connect across the Harbour. We were in a small queen room which despite being narrow we had enough space for the 2 of us for 3 nights, with lovely large windows overlooking the street. While we didn’t dine at the hotel, the restaurant was always busy at meal times which we took as a good sign.
