marianne's travel recommendations

Hotel Sigma is a 9-storey building right opposite the train station, but we almost missed it because the 'hotel' sign was very small. It is a 3* hotel and offered all that we expected: a spacious ensuite room, television (no English channels) and buffet breakfast. The historical centre is 20 mins on foot. On leaving the hotel turn left, 1 Maje Street and follow the tram tracks over the Morava river and Bystrice, its tributary, past Namesti Republiky and Tritons fountain. Take either Ztracena Street or Ostruznica Street on the left and you will find yourself on Dolni Namesti. If Hotel Sigma would have been fully booked (highly unlikely because it has a capacity of 172 beds) Pension Antica would have been our second choice. The pension is in a 13th century building, the rooms are furnished with period furniture. It is on #1 Wurmova, the third street on your left after crossing Bystrice river.
