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.

Best Best Western Ever

The room was spacious and well appointed -- windows that opened for fresh air plus a good air conditioning unit. The bed was large and very comfortable with plenty of pillows. There was plenty of storage for our clothes plus the bathroom was well stocked with shower gel, hand creams, and towels. The only negative and it is only slightly negative was the shower wasn't very powerful but perhaps I wasn't using it properly. The decor was very, very au courant and appealing, too. Camilo, who received us at the front desk was very helpful and polite. We were happy to have found this lovely place to stay while in Berkeley.

A Home Away from Home

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.

Very accommodating staff, helped arrange for an ADA room. Quaint, colorful, nice experience and will use this location again!

It's consistently nice to stay here.
Marilyn, 13-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is where we stay when in the East Bay. It's economical yet feels like what might be a more expensive boutique hotel. The rooms, the beds, the service... all great.

It is clean and convenient. The bicycles are handy
Antoinette, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good hotel, excellent management and staff.
Manolis, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

Parking required giving the desk clerk our keys so he could park our car. That was a little odd. The room was comfortable and cozy. The “balcony with beverages”was just a rooftop patio with no chairs. The beverage cart was empty and set aside. It looked like it wasn’t used recently so that was disappointing.

Fantastic hotel

Fantastic hotel. Great staff. So friendly. Super clean and nice hotel. Easy to find residential parking
Michael, 3-night trip

From the front desk check in to the clean room to the roof top experience. This is a nice hotel. I would stay here again.
Tracey, 1-night trip

I liked the hotel room and location. I did find it pricey, though.

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