I have visited the Aiden twice now and I am certainly sure I will visit again! The rooms, although charmingly small, are immaculate. Clean, modern and very well thought out. Staff are very friendly. In my opinion everything was perfect.
Our very comfortable bed 😊
Beautiful bathroom.
The view as we walked into the room.
And we loved the little balcony, where we sat and had a few drinks before going to our function.

This hotel was beautifully decorated and restored, rooms were fantastic BUT small for two people-VERY TiGHT! Staff were okay polite and respectful, but all seemed to be students or backpackers. The night the fire alarm sounded at 2:15am no one seemed to know why . Getting staff to understand questions in English had to be repeated at least twice. Otherwise the hotel is fabulous if you like to repeat yourself and like small rooms.
