Room was a good size, very clean, location 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!

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.

No in-house laundrette facilities. For someone staying a long duration, would have been handy to have a couple of washing machines guests could use. Used their appointed laundry supplier down the street, cost around $10 per load to wash and dry.

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.

Nothing.

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.

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.

This is not meant to be a criticism, but only a forewarned-is-aware observation. I’m a tall person and some of the rooms are quite small such that the bed length is essentially the room width, and that was the case with my room. That being said, I could sleep at an angle and still get the length I needed to comfortably sleep. I had occasion to stay for one additional night at the same hotel on this trip and got a larger room with a more typical bed layout and that was great, so I know to try and book such a room for future visits.

Location was excellent with a short walk across the bridge to the Darling Harbour waterfront restaurants. It is also located 2 minutes walk from the tour bus stop. Staff were lovely and very helpful even running out in the rain to get our taxi to come closer. The room was the only downside. Whilst we did book the small Queen, it was very small with the amount of furniture that they had installed. Now it is a boutique type hotel and we understand that room sizes can be widely varying but we are used to small European rooms and this was tight even in comparison to them That said, we cannot complain over the cleanliness or the amenities provided as both were excellent and the tv has the facility to cast to it as well as being huge. In all an excellent hotel and we would recommend just be aware that if you do book the small room that is exactly what it is

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.

There was not a lot to dislike, but if I had to pick anything it would be that the coffee machine provided should be cleaned more often. But literally everywhere we stayed had the same issue. Also if you need a top up on tiolet paper, your favourite tea bags or coffee pods, just ask. Or mention it on your way out to staff. There's weren't topped up on our stay, but if we'd asked staff would have happily provided them. An there were ample amounts otherwise. But they need to leave a spare tiolet roll. Again this is being very picky, an literally was the only negative I could remotely find. We really enjoyed our stay.

Location was perfect for nearby show at Lyric theatre. Room was small but perfectly designed for practicality with small balcony allowing great living space for the time of the year we stayed and for four nights. Housekeeping was spotless. The toiletries were high quality and the sparkling water dispensers on each floor were a smart touch. The ferry service and light rail from Pyrmont were excellent to get around Sydney. The cafe on the ground floor provided great coffee to start the day. Not easy to find initially but there is a fantastic Japanese bistro style restaurant nearby and a small supermarket complex. The Rooftop bar at the Pyrmont Bridge Hotel is a good spot if you can get there before it closes early in the evening.

Room would be perfect with an extra half metre of space from the bed end to the wall to allow access to the balcony without shuffling sideways. A similar space on the window side of the bed would help to provide better access for a less acrobatic couple without one having to climb over the other 😀

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.

My only negative piece of feedback is that the (King bed) rooms were fairly small; I was traveling solo and struggled to find space to open both a carry on and a big suitcase. I expect it would have been quite a bit more difficult if I'd been traveling with my partner. That wouldn't stop me from using the Hotel again if traveling solo, but it would lead me to look into either bigger rooms or other options if I weren't.
