Not a pleasant stay
The floor is a bit sticky, breakfast has very limited choice, and it did not provide the slipper for room use. This brought very inconvenient to us as the floor is sticky and not comfortable to walk bare foot.

We enjoyed our stay in Aarburg Hotel and Cafe. The staff are friendly and the room is spacious with a view of the Aare river. The breakfast buffet for guests is delicious. We also enjoyed coming to the cafe downstairs for lunch. The location is great . We are able to walk to the train station and also walk around Interlaken for shopping. We loved our stay and we will want to stay here again next time.

The property is in a perfect location, in walking distance to everything. The staff is responsive. The room is clean, and the common area. Breakfast buffet is good. Our room has the mountain and river view. That was a treat. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit Interlaken.

Great location. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Great breakfast every morning. The rooms are fine and the beds are comfortable. It’s not luxurious, but we were very comfortable.

Very friendly staff, great breakfast, coffee and food options for lunch. Also a convenient location to Interlaken West. Room itself was very cozy and clean. Having a few more furniture might have made it even better. Entrance was little tricky with steep steps so could be difficult for older people.

Owned and managed by a husband and wife. The hotel sits on top of a cafe (also owned and managed by this couple). The hotel
Is old but clean. The hospitality is a bit chilly. Services are basic. It’s very very simple accommodations. The female owner appears to have a strong disdain for guests. Coffee was delicious.

Family Travel with Toddler
Our stay at The Aaburg was memorable.
The staff were very supportive and accomodating.
Even after hours, they were able to help.
The only thing, it is bit of a walking from the downtown, or main street and food options / tranist bus stop.
If travelling with luggage without a car is going to be a bit challenging at times.

A Charming Small Hotel
This is a wonderful small hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms vary in size and are clean and modern. There is a very nice breakfast and the Cafe, which is popular with locals, serves good food. Mohler's Bakery just across the street is an added benefit. The Interlaken West train station is just a few blocks away and other services of the Unterseen neighborhood are close at hand.
