Hotel Orient Express

Once a dowdy lodging dating back to 1939, the Orient Express was completely overhauled in 2015 and now sports a three-star status. Set almost next to the Lisinski concert hall and walking distance from the train station, it’s a tram ride rather than a stroll from the main square but pretty convenient for all that. The 38 rooms are functional rather than stately but with occasional direct online booking deals at €60 – the standard rate is €90 – and breakfast and parking included in the price, guests seem to be pretty satisfied. There’s a restaurant, too, and even room service.
