Disliked: Staff & service
Owned and managed by a husband and wife. The hotel sits on top of a cafe (also owned and managed by this couple). The hotel Is old but clean. The hospitality is a bit chilly. Services are basic. It’s very very simple accommodations. The female owner appears to have a strong disdain for guests. Coffee was delicious.

Very friendly staff, great breakfast, coffee and food options for lunch. Also a convenient location to Interlaken West. Room itself was very cozy and clean. Having a few more furniture might have made it even better. Entrance was little tricky with steep steps so could be difficult for older people.

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.

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. If there's any change after we leave in a few days, I'll update the review. 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!

Amazing café/hotel and staff!
A wonderful hotel and cafe! The location is so amazing, and the view from the room window of the lake and mountains would keep me up at night, it is stunning! Everything in the room was great and I had no issues whatsoever. I was solo travelling and had done very little planning in advance but the staff were absolutely incredible. They helped me plan my days, gave recommendations and we had great conversations. The staff were genuinely outstanding, and I really appreciated their help and kindness. A very lovely experience and I cannot wait to visit 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.

A Charming Small Hotel
This is a wonderful small hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms vary in size and are clean and modern. There is a very nice breakfast and the Cafe, which is popular with locals, serves good food. Mohler's Bakery just across the street is an added benefit. The Interlaken West train station is just a few blocks away and other services of the Unterseen neighborhood are close at hand.

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.
