Our original hotel (Hotel Park) lost our reservation and at the recommendation of the tourist information office we booked a last minute room at Gostilna Jelen. It's about 5km outside of the city center, but we had a car with us and they had free parking which is very convenient (and rare in the center). They are also on the bus #1 line which runs every 5 mins or so and goes right near Congress Square.

We had a comfortable bed, clean shower with ample hot water, tv, internet, and a little balcony overlooking the parking lot :)

The staff were really friendly and accomodating. For 60 euro we had a double room plus breakfast. The pension is also home to a restaurant, allowing for late night beers with the bartender before bed. Breakfast was substantial. There were eggs to order (with ham and/or cheese), ham and cheese plates, croissants with marmalade, fresh bread, juice, and coffee.

Overall we had a great stay at Jelen and will definitely come back when... more
