The Aarburg Hotel & Café

A wetter than normal day in September, whilst tourists did the usual shop we walked around the older part and came across this hotel / cafe, managed to find a window seat and chose from the menu The lady serving us spoke good English, we ordered drinks and brunch My egg Benedict was one of the best I have had worldwide, full of flavour and presented beautifully, my wife halloumi wrap was lovely and fresh Chilled relaxed and clean environment with damp views over river and towards mountains Well worth the visit and thanks to the unseen chef for the taste experience

Pros: Train/bus stop 8 min walk along the river Harder Kulm nearby Big room Clean Breakfast included Lounge area with a microwave, fridge, tea Cons: No AC Check in is with the restaurant cashier. It was fast and easy. They even let us do early check in. The room: we had a four bed room. It had two separate rooms and one bathroom. One side of the room faced the river and the other side faced an abandoned building that connected to the hotel. We didn’t feel safe at night leaving the windows open, so it was definitely hot in the room. My bed was firm. Pillows were good. The room was clean and had plenty of space. They also have plenty of places to plug in your electronics. Bathroom: Small. The water always ran hot enough and the water pressure was great. They provided a hair dryer and a combo hair and body soap. Lounge: this is downstairs and it is perfect. It has a communal microwave and fridge. tea is available all day. They have couches and tables. Complimentary Breakfast: included scrambled eggs, yogurt, cereal, toast, fruit and cheese. You do get to choose from any of their hot beverages. This hotel does not have an elevator Tips: The hotel provides with a free bus pass that can be used while you’re in town Harder Kulm is a 15 min walk along the river. Ask the staff for directions The train station and major bus stops are an 8 min walk

Hotel is located at Interlaken west but walkable to other more bustling parts of interlaken. The room I had looked dated but in good order (bathroom looked refreshed) . There is no lift so you will have to lug luggage up at least one floor or more depending on which room you get. Breakfast is provided and the cafe has a nice ambience with outdoor and window seats that look out into a pretty street with a stream nearby. I thought the breakfast was average compared to breakfast I had at other hotels I had stayed in at Switzerland. Hot option was limited to scrambled eggs - which were sometimes too dry. The hotel has a lounge that guest can use, helpful if you do a takeaway as rooms feel too cramp for a meal

Can’t speak for the hotel but my husband and I have just had a fabulous lunch here, finished off with freshly baked banana bread with coffee topping. Simple food cooked wonderfully with fantastic friendly service. Made our day! Also worth mentioning it is in a quiet part of town overlooking the river.

Wow! We're on day 2 of our stay here and I just had to leave a review so I don't forget later... Lol. This hotel is great!! The location is incredible and our room 201 overlooks the river and stunning mountains all around! Beautiful view. Very clean room. The whole hotel seems renovated, from the large wide spiral stairwell that's beautifully tiled, to the room itself with its wooden floor and beautiful bathroom tiles. The room is a nice size with plenty of room for your things (unless you travel with 8 full size suitcases. In that case you may have a problem 😄). The bathroom is small but wonderful. There's actually a medicine cabinet with a mirror! Can't remember the last time I had a medicine cabinet in a hotel room! The shower is nice and hot and has a raised ledge so water stays inside! *They don't provide conditioner so take into account and bring your own. Breakfast is nice. Great bread, good eggs, great coffee, and all kinds of other things. The ladies that run the place are SO nice. Very responsive via email, accommodating, friendly... What more can you ask for?? Bottom line - great location, super clean, looks newly renovated, good breakfast... Would highly recommend!

Had a lovely lunch with our local friends who took us here. Lovely food and drinks with beautiful service from the Aussie/Suisse owners. Great position away from the hustle of town. Highly recommend the goulash and soup for lunch. Will recommend.
