We loved our stay at the Aarburg Hotel & Cafe. Our room was clean and quiet and faced the river- which was beautiful. Breakfast in the cafe included our choice of coffee drinks, scrambled eggs and a variety of breads and fresh yogurt. We would highly recommend The Aarburg!

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.

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.

Cozy and very friendly cafe hotel.

I Loved looking out onto the blue glacial river. The owner had great insights to some of the outdoor activities as he had been a canyoneering guide for many years prior. He and the staff were amazing, very friendly, and tried to accommodate as best they could. The rooms were cozy, newly renovated with a simple design. The cafe had wonderful desserts. The free breakfast was simple but enough with cold items. Hot food could be ordered from a menu for additional cost from the cafe.

An enjoyable stay here. Excellent value for money and a unique stay above an excellent cafe. Location is halfway between the 2 railway stations OST and west. Bus stop is close and goes to either station. Our room over looked the Interlaken channel such a lovely view. Remember this is a budget stay so there is no elevator or air con but the windows opened in our room for fresh and coolish air. Comfy bed in good sized room. immaculate bathroom albeit minimum size. Plenty of hot water and a guest lounge with fridge to keep food cool, microwave and tea making. Breakfast included in tariff with amazing coffee and scrambled eggs freshly made to order. I would return but ask for a room on level 1 or pack a smaller case to carry up the stairs.

Perfect choice for a family or other wise!

I can’t say enough, lovely things about this location and the staff. It was the perfect balance between having staff available to help with our daily adventures while also feeling immersed in the community as well. The owners Tim and Kat are absolutely lovely and the rest of the staff, including Rachael and Victoria were exceptional! I would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the Interlaken area, especially with a family that is ready for a Delicious breakfast in the morning and off to great adventures. Easy to get to from the train and bus stops and very walkable. 10/10

Overall, the staff was extremely helpful throughout our stay. Ours was a very warm welcome, and help was extended every time we requested for something. We loved the place and would definitely come back again if we got a chance. Only issue we had was when we were leaving and had to park in the front (had no where else to park) to load the bags. We did end up blocking the bus/road, but 1 Irish hostess asked us to move not in a polite way. We found this very rude, considering that we were guests. At the same time, another host was very understanding, and told us that bus drivers don't like it when tourists block the road, which we certainly understand. I think the staff needs to keep their judgement to themselves and see if they can focus on their job, i.e. making the customers feel welcome.

Fantastic boutique hotel. Service was amazing. All the girls were so helpful but huge thank you to Victoria. We stayed in room with a balcony and although the room was small we didn’t care as having a balcony with an incredible view was way more important to us. The hotel was very central. Close to both train stations and main walking and shopping area and right down the street was the best pizza. We brought it back to our room and sat on the balcony. I have nothing bad to say. Just an amazing hotel
