The Aarburg Hotel & Café

The best cafe we visited in Interlaken, and quite possibly the best cafe we visited on our European holiday. My partner and I are from Australia, and we’ve struggled to find a cafe in Europe that offers the quality experience (and coffee!) we are used to back home (Australia has an amazing cafe and coffee culture). This cafe is run by a fellow Aussie and offered the most amazing food, coffee and friendly service. Not to mention the setting is absolutely breathtaking. We visited every day we were here. A ‘must see’ for anyone travelling to Interlaken!

Stopped by for breakfast, and was not disappointed. Delicious and mouthwatering food, and my first time drinking coffee, and I must say was shocked how smooth and sweet it was. As I was enjoying my meal I was enjoying the beautiful view of not just the village and river but also the mountains beyond.

I had an amazing experience staying and eating good food here! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful as they really make sure you get the best experience in town! The room is small but well worth getting the balcony as the views are incredible and definitely worth staying overlooking all the beauty from the room view! I highly recommend it when visiting Interlaken!

I recently visited this cafe for breakfast, and my experience was absolutely incredible! I particularly enjoyed the Eggs with Spinach dish; the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the spinach was flavorful. The coffee was also excellent; it was rich and refreshing, adding the perfect touch to the breakfast experience. As for the French toast, it was a delightful and satisfying experience. The toast was perfectly toasted and soaked in egg and milk, adding an irresistible flavor. In summary, I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast, offering delicious dishes and excellent service. I can’t wait to come back again!

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

The Aarburg hotel is such a gem! From the moment we walked in and dropped our bags we felt at home here. We booked a family suite for our family of 5 and it was perfect - 3 twin beds for the kids in one room and a queen bed looking out over the river in the second room with a bathroom in between. Everything was clean, thoughtful and efficient in terms of use of space. There is a common guest space with comfy seating and kitchenette available downstairs for use anytime. Our stay included a well curated breakfast buffet with lots of variety and made-to-order scrambled eggs every morning. The couple who owns the hotel are delightful and pride themselves in making excellent coffee! What a treat.

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

We had a tasty colorful breakfast; pleasant location, convenient if in Unterseen or Interlaken. I'd been here before in the afternoon but only for a drink on the sunny terrace. I have no experience of the hotel services.

I absolutely loved this place. The staff was so fantastic. And may I say, they make the absolute best cappuccino. The room was extremely clean and the location was perfect. The adjacent river was beautiful. Also, We enjoyed being slightly away from the business of Interlocken. We will definitely return.

Amazing cafe! Got a delicious flat white and there was both oat and lactose free milk alternatives available. Such a great view of the water as well!

This is the most wonderful hotel in Interlaken. The staff are incredible and friendly. The food at the included breakfast is excellent and the rooms are very clean.

Absolutely loved this place. Had a single room with a river view and it was spectacular. Clean rooms with towels and shampoo/soap. Comfortable bed. Free breakfast in the morning. Really have no complaints with this place. Great location outside of Interlaken so it's quiet but a close walk into town

Was in Interlaken about 2 months ago and stumbled upon this hidden gem. Owners were fantastic and served patrons themselves. Great beer selection and there happens to be a laundromat right next to them which ended up being a plus. The views can't get much better than this.

I was so pleased with my stay at The Aarburg! Everything was just right: - friendly helpfulness of the hosts and their staff - the location of the hotel so close to downtown - the immaculate room - the stunning view from my window - the excellent breakfast It was a great decision to stay at The Aarburg, and I look forward to returning!

Hidden gem in Interlaken! Great tasty Swiss food, large portion, friendly service and cheap price (this is Switzerland after all). I come to Switzerland 2-3 times per year on business and favorite place to visit is the Jungfrau region near Interlaken. This hotel restaurant is tucked away from tourist area of Interlaken and serves home made Swiss food for a song! Wanted the family to eat traditional Swiss meal and we were not disappointed. Highly recommend

Worth every penny, after a long day on the train from Paris my wife and I went in search off a meal. This place blew us away. The asparagus ravioli was excellent and the lamb knuckle was the best dish I have ever had in a restaurant. The host was super friendly and helpful. she went out of her way to explain how the bill works in Switzerland. Local beer on bottles and on tap. The restaurant was very authentic feeling also.
