Really enjoyed my stay at Aiden.
Close to everything and especially public transport.
Really appreciated the upgrade to a room with a view over Pyrmont Bridge.
Gorgeous boutique hotel in a handy location just across Pyrmont bridge.
The breakfasts were delicious. Room clean and tastefully styled. Great shower in bathroom and I loved my mural.
Great location, easy walk to Darling Harbour, room was good, comfortable bedding, Staff were very helpful and breakfast was great. Although no parking at the hotel itself the Wilson carpark was opposite. Totally recommend.
Great stay, close to the Lyric Theatre.
Coco on the front desk was very helpful on arrival.
Rooms are quite small but very clean and beautifully furnished.
Staff were beautiful, room was cosy and clean. Fresh sparkling and still water available all the time. Genuinly enjoyed our stay. Super convenient location too. Will be back.

The location was excellent, the room was spotless.
Four night here solo for work.
Tiny rooms but very comfortable. Clean, quiet, comfortable bed, great shower and aircon. Great location with a light rail stop nearby, and Pyrmont bridge into the CBD.
Aside from the small+ rooms, it otherwise ticked all the boxes with nothing to fault. Would stay again.
So close to Darling Harbour and the Star. One of the best boutique hotels I have stayed in. From the helpful friendly staff to great bed and complimentary water in the lobby. It was the little things that made this stay very memorable.
Will definitely return. Location was great and near light rail. Opted for breakfast which was à la carte. Stayed in mural room which was modern and well appointed
