Cute little property and perfect for our one night stay in Interlaken. The cafe is adorable and breakfast was delicious. The staff was super helpful and the location is super walkable to many public transport options. Our main downside was the street noise and church bells that rang hourly through the night.
The Aarburg is right on the riverside with extraordinary colours. The cafe is a vibrant goto within the city with gorgeous coffee and provides a great buffet breakfast. Our room was spacious with an adjoining room for the adult children. It has a lounge available with hot drinks for all guests. The staff were very friendly and it was our favourite stop as we travelled through Switzerland.
Property was situated on the water with beautiful views from our bedroom windows. Entire family loved the delicious breakfast and coffees served each morning. Beds were comfortable and we sleep deeply after long days hiking. Everyone at the Aarburg was lovely and accommodating. We’re so glad we chose this location. Train station was close enough to walk to. Loved exploring Unterseen, Interlaken and surrounding areas. Highly recommend getting the Oberland Pass. We hopped all over the valley using the pass, using all modes of transportation offered.

Clean and comfortable room, a warm welcome, and simple but tasty breakfast- highly recommended 👍
The location is PERFECT....right on the beautiful river, walking distance to the city center. The have a family room with dining room table, microwave, cozy chairs- a perfect spot to buy food at the local grocery and have some relaxing family time. The breakfast was delicious- best coffee I had the entire trip. This place is a 10/10!!!! (And the parking was SO EASY!!!!)

The staff was the kindest we encountered our whole trip and the hotel was so cute and charming.
Interlaken is overall a small city but the Aarburgh is in the middle of everything… staff super friendly and helpful, rooms big and convenient for large groups, the hotel only has 6 rooms (that I could count). No AC, but you open the window and have a cool breeze
Excellent property! Clean, super friendly staff, excellent location and great breakfast!

My wife and I spent the New Year at The Aarburg and love every second of it!
All the staff was nice and helpful, the food was delicious and short walk to town.
Lovely hotel with kind and helpful staff. The room was clean and comfortable - perfect for our family. The breakfast and coffee were fantastic. A truly awesome small hotel!
Very conveniently located to Interlaken West station and to local (free with guest pass) around town. Quiet. Great breakfast and great, friendly staff. Comfy bed with lively view of Jungfrau! Would stay here again!
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.
