Hotel U Zeleného Stromu - Zum Grünen Baum

Wonderful hosts! I had some great conversations with them during my brief stay, about nature and music. Be ready for some real small-town hospitality: some of the best I've had when traveling in that part of Europe. The room had good lighting, great view, and felt secure. It's a quiet town - Janov. Away from the markets down by the river. I feel like it was a great deal.

No cons about the hotel itself. Be aware that it may look close to Hrensko on a map, but it's actually a bit of a hike with some elevation. Luckily, I don't mind a walk. There is a direct bus from Decin and Hrensko. I don't want this to be a discouragement, just a head's up: they do require part of the bill to be paid in advance as a bank transfer deposit. This takes some finagling, at least for American banks. Not the first time I've done this in the Czech Republic.

The dinner and the breakfast was very tasty!

Checkout is only possible from 9.30 Placing me in the smallest room possible, despite great availability in most other rooms. They said I booked that specific room (doubtful) and tried upgrading me.

On arriving late staggering in from the dark forest paths i was greeted warmly, given honest advice about the small room i had selected (sloping roof above bed for very tall person) and offered an upgrade. At this time of year other rooms where available and at such a time of year i was able to choose from two and sich exceptional value it was a no brainer. The hotel is also the tourist information centre and i was given excellent advice about the surroundings and transport as well as a suggestion of a travel map app that made the rest of my hiking so simple. The room could be very well heated with two doors to the bathroom so if needed you could easily make a dry room while keeping the bedroom temperature ambient. The bed was very comfortable and the shower well heated after a long hike. Dinner and breakfast were provided and delicious, a large selection for the morning and fine home cooked food in the evening. Also a amazing local Czech beer suggested. As a considerate traveller over the days i stayed there it felt as if i had been invited into a family home with the hospitality, the family who run it being incredibly soulful. The Pravcicka Brana and wild gorge is nearby to explore, a fun high observation tower in the village. Walking from the ferry to the village takes 30-40 mins so accessible but also away from any tourist overload. Next summer boats will be available from the picturesque gorge to Hrensko also. It was truly an honour to stay there, much respect.

Breakfast was so nice on one day i ate far to much.

Privatelly led hotel and thus this feeling of familiarity came up. Very friendly reception. Live music during the evening and after dinner. Little funny room underneath the roof. Small but efficient!

Stuff was more than nice. Delicious dinner and breakfast. Will definitely choose this Hotel again. ☺️ Thank you!

Glutenfree dinner was included. The room was clean and owners/staff were great to deal with. I recommend a stay here.

Great place. Relaxing environment. The served breakfast and meals were nice. The owner Barbara was very friendly and helpful. Would like to stay there again.
