I didn't believe the other reviewers,... more

Some of the more negative reviews are unfair given the cheap accommodation this hotel offers in a prized location close to Sydney Terminal (Central) railway station. Yes, our room was poky. Yes, we could really only get onto the double bed from one side. However, we slept well and there were no noise problems. Being midweek, the hotel did not... more

I always wanted to go to Sydney. I got a very good last minute deal that I had to jump on. With no time to plan very well, I found an Australian based website for hotel accommodations. I found the Aaron hotel and used a website based map to make sure it was in the central area of Sydney. The... more

The mainstay brilliance of Aarons is its location. Right in the middle of Chinatown, has quick access to all the CBD attractions, restaurants, public transport and is within walking distance to amenities. For the price, you can't get anything better outside of a backpackers hostel. Unfortunately, that's where most of the advantages end. Aarons tends to pride itself on its... more

What can I say about aaron's hotel...? When we tried to check in, the reception staff couldn't find our booking and didn't seem to understand English too well, we repeated our booking name several times until someone more senior came in and saved the day.... ...On the plus side the room was ready early for us, we were supposed to... more

We stayed at the Aarons Hotel Sydney for Sydney Mardi Gras 2008. The hotel was clean, the staff very nice, and the price was nice. The hotel was close to most attractions and perfectly located in Chinatown (by Paddy's Market). It did have a hostel look and feel to it, so if you prefer the major hotel chain feel, then... more

I ticked the excellent box to get your attention. If you have ever stayed at Aarons, you know I'm clearly joking. If there was a zero-star option, I would have chosen that. Having booked a twin room, with two roll-away beds, we arrived to find that they had booked us in a TINY room, barely enough space to open the... more

We arrived circa 6pm weary from our travels and looking forward to relaxing in our room and taking a shower. Having checked in we went to our room and experienced difficulty in squeezing ourselves and a suitcase into a surprisingly small area, most of which was occupied by a small “double bed”. Matters were not helped by the unpleasant odour... more

Stayed at Aaron's for 4 nights with wife. First off, Aaron's is at an awesome location middle of Chinatown near great shopping, transportation, and food. If you are a group of 4 or so, Aaron's may be a decent place for you. If you are travelling by yourself, or with 1 other person, skip Aaron's. The rooms looked clean, but... more
