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.

My daughter & I loved this boutique hotel for our recent minibreak to see Vivid Sydney. The view from the window over Pyrmont Bridge to the city was stunning & everything in our room was comfortable & cosy. Artwork on the walls was very styly & the room was thoughtfully planned for a small space. The staff were super friendly & very helpful. We ate in the cafe restaurant twice, food was delicious & nice variety of menu choices available. Hotel was close to Metro & an easy stroll across Pyrmont bridge to the CBD..

Only improvement would be a better closing/sealing bathroom door, & we would have liked a supplied teatowel.

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.

If attending conferences at ICC, the big hotels are a bit more expensive but closer (Sofitel, W, Novotel). I wasn’t expecting it to rain all week so would stay closer next time! There is not an obvious direct route from Aiden to the ICC, even though it’s only a 10 min walk. No staff were able to explain how to get there by the shortest route down Murray St. (I worked out you take a shortcut through Novotel, through a carpark).

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!

Having an a la carte breakfast included was wonderful. The restaurant is a bit small so sometimes finding a table was challenging but the quality of the breakfast made up for this. Definitely not your average continental breakfast. The location was amazing- as an ex-Sydneysider I had never really spent much time in Pyrmont, but it had so much charm and so close to lots of public transport and activities.

My MIL is a heavy smoker and although she never smoked in the room, the hotel attempted to charge a $300 cleaning fee due to the lingering smell from her clothes and the fact that they found used cigarette butts (after she had smoked outside and had nowhere else to dispose of them) in the trash. I eventually talked them out of the charge, but it left a bit of a damper on the experience- so be warned if you stay here and are a smoker/have a smoker in your group.

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.

Modern, clean and very comfortable. Great little bar downstairs and free water - sparkling/still on tap just near the lift. The proximity to the pub (Pyrmont Bridge Hotel) on the next corner (excellent place - lots of live music) and Darling Harbour is perfect. We went to a musical around the corner at the Lyric in the Star Casino and loved the convenience of the hotel for that as well. There is also a light rail station just around the corner too we discovered. The only negative is that the rooms are small but we got over that in about five minutes because everything else is a positive. Would definitely stay there again.

Rooms are small but really, so what! Everything else was just great!

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.

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.
