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

The Aiden is just fine. It’s central to everything and close to nothing (except Target). But it met my expectations and the price was right.

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.

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.

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.

Berkeley is an expensive city so overall a good value in the $200 range. Short, safe walk to BART. Main problem: a busy intersection with considerable traffic noise. If noise sensitive like I am, bring good earplugs.

A wonderful stay!
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.

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.

New Berkeley Hotel Experiences bed
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.
