This was the second time I have stayed in Katie’s Mini-Musiker room. Just like last time, it was exactly as advertised. Tiny but clean and in a perfect location.
Check in is at 5pm. Which I misread and we arrived at 4pm. Entirely my mistake. We used the code to get in and then realised there was nobody there. Soon enough the cleaner arrived. He was so lovely- trying to race through his chores to get our room ready, so we didn’t have to wait much longer. Which we did not expect as it was entirely my error. We were only there for one night and thoroughly enjoyed the Folk Music downstairs. We spent an hour or so down there, sipping the Aelpli-Milch and listening to a group of Bernese Yodellers singing away. This was such a treat - apparently they were just visiting, not pre-arranged entertainers. Amazing!
This place is tiny, a little odd (in that you use a separate bathroom that is inside the office) but it is totally secure, the beds are comfortable, the location is unbeatable and the staff are friendly. For such an expensive city - this is an absolute bargain for travellers. It’s certainly not the Ritz but it is a lovely Swiss experience for a couple of days. We would come back a third time.
