Great hotel. Very clean, safe parking
lu, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Rooms were ok, terrible pillows. A soul-less attempt at a boutique hotel, without the comfort or quality, but at a boutique price. Didn’t know my rented minivan would fit in their parking lot until I checked in. The feeble attempt at a gym on the roof was laughable.
Steven, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean facility, wonderful staff and a 15 minute walk to my children’s home!
Susan, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Exceeded our expectations!

We were very impressed with the service, comfort, decor, amenities and value of the Aiden hotel! The staff was friendly, helpful, kind and responsive to our questions and needs (e.g. what bus to take where, requests for more towels). Having coffee/ hot drinks and cold water available at all times was a real plus, not to mention bikes and bike helmets! Would stay again and feel lucky to have found it. The perfect small hotel with a great staff! Thank you, especially to the night manager who was gracious and very accommodating.

The staff were all outstanding, helpful and friendly. Everyone was responsive and someone was always available. The location was convenient for visiting different Berkeley neighborhoods and to transportation (buses, BART, Amtrak). I would recommend this hotel to friends.

Clean and upgrade property. Didn't like the mattress (saggy and not firm enough) plus road facing rooms are noisy

Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great amenities, including free drink during happy hour. Staff is very helpful and nice. Rooms are clean and lots of toiletries provided. The one drawback is that you can hear all the traffic outside since the hotel is located on the corner of a busy street.
Kai, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Roof top patio is a really pleasant surprise and wonderful on a sunny day/evening with a glass of wine! Great views. Room was very clean and functionally designed. Parking was convenient with incredibly responsive valet in and out. Highly recommend.
