I stayed at the Aaron's hotel for one night between flights in Sydney. The hotel markets itself as three and a half stars, but the signs are clear that this is a business trying to drag itself away from its backpacker roots. Indeed, the feel of the hotel is far more like a backpacker's dorm. The Chinatown location was interesting... More

This is a budget hotel with basic 'room only' facilities and no lounge, bar or restaurant. We had 2 rooms and both were clean and tidy with ample room - each with a shower but no bath. We had upgraded the rooms to 'de luxe' which is an over-exaggeration but we did get a tea/coffee machine and a fridge and... More

The hotel is situated strategically in the middle of Chinatown. It is a bit run down but the room is clean and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. We booked a Deluxe Double room but requested a Twin Room and the staff helped us change our room as per our request. The noise level was high, especially since our... More

Dear Paulsut, Thank you for choosing the Aarons Hotel for your recent accommodation needs. We are extremely delighted that you enjoyed most aspects of your stay with us.

We booked this hotel out of desperation due to financial restraints of our daughter and her boyfriend who are spending a year travelling in Australia on a small budget. It was booked through Hotel .com whom my husband has used many times and been extremely pleased with the standard of hotels booked. This particular hotel was like a run down/tired... More

I stayed here and was booked in for 3 nights it was so bad I ended up moving out on the 2nd night and moving to the marriot hotel and paid the $300.00 for this. This hotel does not even deserve 1 star and I would like to contact the company who rates rooms and discuss. More

We were extremely disappointed with the quality of the entire complex, and in particular our room. Also found their practice of charging our credit card with $100, that they say would be refunded 5-7 days later, only to find that there was no nothing to take or damage if we had wanted to. Not a pleasing experience, but thats not... More

If you want to stay in the city centre and are on a budget, Aarons is the place to go. Don't expect a great hotel room - they're functional, clean, and that's about it. You're paying for the location, not a wonderful room in a great hotel. I have stayed here a couple of times now and would stay again.... More
