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!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.
