What guests think
Across recent reviews, Aiden by Best Western Berkeley earns consistent praise for very clean, comfortable, modern rooms and friendly, helpful staff, with good value and handy touches like a rooftop patio, 24/7 coffee, bicycles, and on-site valet parking.
Traffic noise from the busy intersection is a recurring complaint, especially in street-facing rooms, and windows don’t block sound well. The location is convenient to BART and UC Berkeley, though several note the immediate area feels less appealing and can feel unsafe at night. Perks include a pleasant rooftop and complimentary drinks, but valet parking carries a daily fee, the workout area is small, and a few guests experienced lapses in housekeeping or front-desk responsiveness. Expect a clean, modern stay with friendly service and some urban noise.

I've stayed at this property twice now. I love the rooftop patio with firepits and the employees are nice. This is the first time I've needed parking there and they made it pretty simple, but it is no fun paying extra to have a car. Would love it if that was just free.

The hotel is clean and convenient, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. One great feature is their 24-hour drink station, which is always stocked with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate — a nice perk to enjoy at any time of day or night. The rooms are well-equipped, clean, and designed to be functional, providing all the essentials for a convenient stay. The only downside was the bed and pillows, which felt too soft and cheap, though we managed to make do. Our room faced the main street, which was a bit noisy during the weekdays, but quieter over the weekend. Overall, it’s a solid option and a great value if you're looking for practicality and cleanliness. We did enjoy our stay there.

It was a great value for what we got. Updated clean room, comfy bed, free coffee and tea in the lobby, nice roof top lounge area. It wasn’t the close to everything but we didn’t mind.

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.

First time here. Pleasant stay. Room has modern decor. Pillow top mattress made bed comfortable. We had quiet room away from University Ave. Keurig machine with Peet’s coffee a plus and coffee all day in lobby. 4th floor terrace had good views and a small workout area. Just lacks umbrellas for shade. Downside is location. Fine during day, less so at night. We used valet parking for safety and convenience. Staff parked our car and retrieved it quickly when needed. Would stay here again.

Really nice mid-range hotel with a hip, less corporate, more artsy vibe than similar hotels on University Ave. While this part of town is not Berkeley’s prettiest or most scenic, there are some fantastic food and beverage choices within a couple of blocks, and the location is central, with nothing else in town too far away. Staff go the extra mile here to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. For us, that included an unsolicited upgrade despite having booked a non-refundable rate through a third party site. Rooms were very clean, and they have a parking garage next door. Mandatory valet service to use the garage is frustrating, but I couldn’t see the interior layout so it might be necessary in order to accommodate the cars. Both solo travelers and couples will feel safe and comfortable here. Rooms are really nicely laid out with an efficient use of space, good TVs, blackout shades, and comfy beds. The bathrooms are beautiful and spacious. The roof deck is a nice extra in good weather, but we couldn’t figure out how to light the gas fireplaces up there.

Room was not cleaned while I was away for a football game. And NO I did not have the "do not disturb" sign out. I mentioned to desk person and all he said was "sorry about that". He may have been in college just working. They did have a "Hiring" sign posted so maybe they were understaffed.

The cleaning service is every other day and I wouldn’t call what they do cleaning. They just pick up the garbage and make the bed, nothing else is cleaned including bedsheets. Also, the concierge staff seems to be very junior. Not what you expect from the professional hotel staff. I wouldn’t go back to this hotel.

Convenient to be close to UCBerkeley. Everything was good except for road noise. Many of the hotel rooms face the busy University Avenue so road noise is a problem - especially for light sleepers. Plus the windows that face the street are not very soundproof which does nothing to alleviate the problem.

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.

The place was very clean and enjoyable. They do charge $29/day for valet parking which is the only off street parking they offer. It wasn’t clear when signing up. Also the street noise was loud but we were able to sleep with earplugs and it lessened in the early morning hours. I think they should had installed double pane windows. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms had hug quality furnishings and bathroom features (example- lovely shower tile and heavy glass doors). Felt well made and elegant. The bedding was very smooth. Chair and ottoman were great. The room layout is a bit awkward. Give it an A- for the price. Street noise only brings it down from A

I stayed here for two nights for parents weekend at Berkeley. It’s very clean and a nice hotel. The only problem and biggest problem is that my room ( actually all the queen rooms) was facing the main street so there was a lot of car noise specially at night when you want to sleep. Other than this it was a good hotel to stay in.

I was really surprise at how much I liked staying here. The staff was very kind, it was very clean, comfortable, safe and conveniently located. I loved that car was parked in a locked garage adjacent to the building and not in a open lot somewhere else. It’s not the most exciting location but if that doesn’t matter to you, the good thing is that it’s very convenient. There’s gas stations, restaurants, Target, 4th street and access to the freeway all within reach. My only concern was the layout of the shower in the bathroom (in my room, not sure if other rooms had this issue). If you wanted to get your shower going (to warm) before stepping in, it appears you couldn’t. The sink appeared to block access to the knobs. You have to get in and then turn knobs and get shot with cold water first. The next time I showed I figured out I was still able to slide the glass door open to at least turn the knobs, slide it closed and then get in the other way. So it ended up working out, lol. It was just awkward. However, I’d definitely would stay here again. :)
I was really surprise at how much I liked staying here. The staff was very kind, it was very clean, comfortable, safe and conveniently located. I loved that car was parked in a locked garage adjacent to the building and not in a open lot somewhere else. It’s not the most exciting location but if that doesn’t matter to you, the good thing is that it’s very convenient. There’s gas stations, restaurants, Target, 4th street and access to the freeway all within reach.

The staff was friendly, the rooms are clean and the neighborhood is walkable as well as a short walk to a Bart station.

We had a wonderful trip. The location was perfect! I didn’t have to use my car once in my 4-day stay. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful.

Good value. Rooms were clean and fresh. Staff was courteous and helpful. Not fancy or in the high end part of town but I would recommend it for a short stay at a low rate. Glad we picked it.

I loved my stay at the Aiden Best Western Berkeley and will definitely stay here again. The property is brand new and looks very modern, clean and shiny. The manager on duty welcomed me with a big smile and the offer of a beverage. His recommendation of the non-alcoholic beer was refreshing and delicious. The lobby was well-stocked with fresh local coffee and tea. Hotel guests may order simple breakfast items to be delivered to their rooms or dine in the nice lobby area. I had a room at the back of the hotel, away from noisy University Avenue, at my request when booking my room. It was a very comfortable, silent room. I loved it and the incredible bed. This hotel is mere blocks away from the North Berkeley BART station, so it is very convenient to get almost anywhere in the Bay Area that way. Best of all, the price was affordable.

The hotel is very convenient to BART and buses in north Berkeley. It’s not close to Downtown Berkeley. The roof has good views and is relaxing. Staff is friendly. Can have more pressure and a better message head. The toilet is too tall for a short person. But all in all pretty good hotel if you are visiting that area.

I don't have a single negative thing to mention about this hotel and whoever is reading this, don't hesitate to book here- you will not be disappointed. The hotel is located in a wonderful location- with a convenience store, Target and food options either across the street or a short walk around the block. Upon check in we were immediately greeted and offered water, tea and coffee (which is provided free of charge throughout your stay. Since there is only metered street parking available, Best Western offers a secure valet service (with in & out privileges 😊) for a nominal cost.The good news is if you sign up for the Best Western rewards program you get your first night's parking half off. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable; the bed quality was amazing and the room smelled new. Everything worked as it was supposed to and not a single thing was rundown, worn out or broken. For fun there are bicycles available to rent and a complimentary happy hour from 5pm to 6pm nightly. I would definitely stay here again and wish more hotel stays were as satisfying as this one was.

The hotel is clean and convenient, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. One great feature is their 24-hour drink station, which is always stocked with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate — a nice perk to enjoy at any time of day or night. The rooms are well-equipped, clean, and designed to be functional, providing all the essentials for a convenient stay. The only downside was the bed and pillows, which felt too soft and cheap, though we managed to make do. Our room faced the main street, which was a bit noisy during the weekdays, but quieter over the weekend. Overall, it’s a solid option and a great value if you're looking for practicality and cleanliness. We did enjoy our stay there.

Excellent spot in Berkeley! I was in town for a large event and Aiden was the perfect location to access multiple venues. Room was perfect for sleeping after partying and catching a nap in between parties. Comfy bed!! Friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic coffee in lobby. Will definitely stay there again..

Came out for a quick overnight visit with our daughter. Was greeted by a friendly host, who made check in quick and easy. Was offered a variety of complimentary snacks and beverages. Room was very clean and inviting. Bed was a perfect combination of firm with a soft tip that was very comfortable. We didn’t get the opportunity to fully enjoy all the offerings of this hotel. Hopefully next time.

This is a fairly new, smallish hotel. The room and beds were comfortable. Cleaning staff, if I remember correctly, cleaned the room every other day, which was fine for us. The room with 2 queen beds is long and narrow, with a useful seating area at one end but not much storage, and a bit of a tight squeeze between the bed and the desk. Bathroom is nice and clean. Our room faced the back of the hotel (away from University Ave.), which made it quiet; other side might be less so. There is no restaurant in the hotel but several nearby, including an excellent Indian restaurant one block down. The optional breakfast-burrito delivery was inexpensive but so-so. If you have time, you'd be better off having breakfast at the bagel place down the block. Front desk staff was professional and helpful, and retrieved our car from the adjoining garage within a few minutes each time was asked. (Parking costs extra.) The UC campus and downtown Berkeley are about a 20 minute walk from the hotel. University Ave. itself is heavily traveled and not all that pleasant, but there are nice quiet neighborhoods to either side of it. Berkeley is an expensive hotel market, but the Aiden is surely one of the best options -- not luxurious, but solid.
