Excellent choice for central access and walking distance with convenient cafe on site. Only downside was its location along busy streets which had fairly loud vehicle noise with the windows open at night. Also located in close proximity to a church so be prepared for the bells to chime throughout the night. Parking was available however a couple blocks away.

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

We had a two-room family suite. One double bed in one room, and three single beds in the other. Accommodations were comfortable, and the bathroom (including shower) worked well for us. Breakfast was delicious, and the coffee was wonderful. The staff was incredibly friendly and kind, and more than happy to help us any way they could. Big thumbs up to the Aarburg team! Of course, we weren’t in the hotel for any length of time - we were there to experience Interlaken and the Lauterbrunnen valley. All was wonderful and the views can’t be beat. We highly recommend a visit…would have preferred to have another couple of days at least!
