Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Away from the town centre — The hotel is located a short distance outside the main part of Zakopane, so you'll rely on the bus or your own transport to reach the centre.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the policy is strictly no pets.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, so plan your arrival to fit within those hours.
  • Value rating is lower than comfort — The value score of 8.7 sits below the comfort and staff scores, suggesting some guests feel the price is a touch high for the overall offering.

“The rooms are wonderful – cosy and comfortable with bedding that feels like sleeping on a cloud. The bright colours and stylish furniture add a touch of luxury, and I loved having a seating area to relax in after a day exploring Zakopane.”

8.9Verified guest

“The breakfast was excellent and the receptionists were very helpful.”

8.9Verified guest

“A fantastic stay in a slightly out-of-the-way location. The rooms were spacious and exactly as pictured, with a small living room separate from the beds. The bathrooms were clean and adequate, and the beds were comfortable for a peaceful night's sleep. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a variety of tasty options. Free parking and a convenient bus service to town were major pluses. The Jaszczurówka Chapel was a 5-minute walk away. I would happily stay here again.”

8.9Verified guest

“Great value for money with affordable prices. The attention to detail is clear in the cosy, comfortable rooms, some with a balcony. The staff provide excellent service, and the basic amenities are well-maintained. The location, slightly outside the main town but close to the bus stop, adds to the charm.”
