We loved our stay, everything was perfect. Let me start with easy check-in. The room was super clean, spacious with huge bed. We had a small fridge in the room which was nice. Bathroom was fully equipped with towels, washing products. Breakfast was very nice with many options to choose from. We booked half-board and the dinner was delicious, home made food. There is no grocery store near by but there is a self service fridge in the hotel where you can buy any drinks at reasonable price and pay at the check out. We could make coffee or tea at any time of the day. We really felt like home, and staff working there was also very nice and welcomed us like a family.

    simple and efficient, not far from few shops and restaurants, we also used the sauna which was really needed after a big hike. staff is lovely and friendly. the room was very simple but its all we needed since we spent most of the time outside. the place was clean so it was ok for me. loved the mountains, definitely hike up to Sněžka (czech/polish border) for alien/dystopian vibes!! it’s so worth it. thanks to the staff for being nice to us ☺️

The place was sparkling clean and we really enjoyed our stay. I would be aware if you travel with toddlers as there is no gate for stairs but every room has door, so no trouble. Just what I noticed.

    Janske Lazne is a ski resort which is not very suitable for beginners, in the sense that there are relatively few blue slopes. They do have beginner area's, but they are not in the main area, 5 minutes by bus away from the Gondola. The Gondola only takes 7 minutes and you have a nice 10-15 minute downhill (skiing average). Friendly people and good restaurants on the slopes. The number of restaurants in the village itself is limited. But overall a good and cheaper option than the Alps.

    Very little town but it features a few restaurants and some smaller shops. Looks a bit weird as some old buildings are seemingly unused and run-down while others are in a very good shape. We stayes here because accommodations in Trutnov were pretty much sold out but it is a good base for trips around the Giant Mountains.
