Aiden by Best Western @ Berkeley

The room and facility is new with the latest technologies. The complimentary coffee and tea was nice. Located near Cal which is very convenient. The parking garage to keep your car secure.

The bathroom tile could've been cleaned better. Hair and particles were left on the tile in visible sight. Cleanliness is the most important factor for me when choosing a hotel.

A wonderful selection of free and low-priced drinks, an evening social hour, and a convenient central location. The bathrooms (shower, sink, lights, layout, and amenities were great. A convenient fridge and blackout curtains, windows open a bit for fresh air. There's a 7-11 across the street. it's small hotel so nothing is far.

I didn't investigate parking ahead of time and we lucked into a meter just out front that was free (6p Sat until Mon 9a). The property offers valet for $29 but the lack of parking may affect our decision to return unless we plan carefully. Street noise on University was a bit louder than expected.

Rooms are very comfortable, most of the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are bright, spacious, and well-appointed. They offer ample complementary products and services. Everything was in good working order within the hotel.

There were occasionally some unsavory characters outside, but that sort of comes with the Berkeley territory. The staff doesn't seem to clean occupied rooms unless specifically requested.

Beautiful hotel with a contemporary decor and all of the personal touches that you love. Bed is super comfortable, large, fully equipped bathroom and the mini fridge is a great addition to keep my wine chilled. There’s also a terrific Korean restaurant about a 5 minute walk away with killer bibimbop.

The parking situation isn’t ideal as the meters have a 4 hour max.

We loved this new fun boutique hotel! We had a weekend full of gatherings and celebrations where we were easily able to go back and forth to our hotel conveniently leaving our car with Joey or Rosie to valet in the private new garage. We also loved the downtime before going out because we had the use of the rooftop lounge. We took our complimentary drinks up to the roof and enjoyed the beautiful view.

Wonderful! Staff was helpful and friendly, great location. We were there for a concert and it was located just down the road, close to a lot of food as well. Very clean, beautiful rooms with a great view. They have the good ice, a water machine and they provide pitchers for their water machine. That was a huge plus for us, we drink only water usually and a lot of it so to have that was very nice.

Nothing!

Loved the breakfast burritos on the breakfast menu and the Peet's coffee pods in the room. And the happy hour was a nice treat with two kinds of Kombucha! The bicycles that were available to borrow was great too.

I did ask if housekeeping could do the full works on my room every day and they didn't. In fact, one day they didn't even come in. Also, it was a bit noisy on the street corner with lots of traffic, but wearing ear plugs at night did the trick.

The complementary coffee at the reception stole my heart. The internet was fast, and I enjoyed working in the lobby. The coffee machine in the room was well-stocked, and I used it a lot. Free-to-use beautiful cycles were also an impressive addition.

The property was modern, clean, and relaxing! The coffee and tea at reception was awesome. Complimentary wine was a nice touch! The rooftop has a beautiful view. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely would come back!

Can’t think of anything negative to say.

Similar to apartments in Berkeley. Clean and comfy. It is a really good option if you need a short stay around Berkeley.

The location is a bit distant from downtown. Might feel unsafe walking on the street, but it's acceptable for Berkeley standard:)
