Nice convenient boutique hotel.
The location is excellent. Near Chinatown and the Darling Harbor. Easy to walk to most places and light rail is 1 block from the hotel. I had a smaller 1 person room but it was perfect for what I needed and wanted.

Cute but small
Cute boutique hotel. All the reviews said the rooms were small but I took a gamble. They weren’t wrong! I was travelling solo so worked fine but wouldn’t be ideal otherwise. It was a little noisy too being close to the street. Having said that very cute and new. Convenient to Darling Harbour

Clean but a bit too compact.
A well located hotel but there was very little space in the city view rooms. Not even enough to open my suitcase and leave it open without obstructing a doorway. It was a great room for me travelling solo but I'd probably opt for one of the larger rooms if there is more than one person.
I don't mind a compact room if the space is designed well with considered storage. but this did not have that.
I also paid a lot extra for a city view room and the window is not like what is pictured. My window was quite high up and narrow, you could only see a view when you were standing up in the room. Was just a bit disappointing to be charged extra for a room I couldn't see.

The room was really cramped. Two cabins as washroom and separately located. No exhaust fan to carry the smell out. Very inconveniently located place to put your luggage and access your clothes. No ironing facility. May be good for a student not a corporate traveller.

Modern clean and efficiency property very close to Darling harbor attractions and area. Walk to Maritine Museum. Rooms are small but new and equipped with everything you need. Free breakfast at the first floor cafe was excellent with fine coffee as well.

Fantastic stay for one person attening a nearby conference. Very close to footbridge over Darling Harbour to access the city.
Lovely breakfast offered in the cafe downstairs.
Dyson hairdryer was a bonus and I was even able to borrow the diffuser attachment from reception.
Room was small but perfect for one.
A fantastic stay.

Nice hotel with lovely staff, close enough to the heart of the city yet far enough away from the crowd.

The Aiden by the Harbour
Stay was great, loved the location. The room was lovely, very clean and we had a little balcony that looked out over the harbour. As has become somewhat the norm check in was online and then via computer when we arrived, I have to say I’m not a fan of this, I would prefer an actual person so I can ask questions like is there room service etc and any other tourist type questions. There was a staff member there so it would have been just as easy to have them check us in but anyway. Stay was still great and would recommend the Aiden when you need to be close to the action near Darling Harbour etc.
