Absolutely lovely place to stay right next to the Tatrzański National Park. A perfect base spot for trekking and hiking trips really near trail starting points, yet also within a convenient distance to stores in the small town. Cozy atmospheric all-wooden rooms, really well equipped kitchen, and lovely big garden facing meadows and forests of the national park with a space for grill and campfire. Everything was clean and well kept. We had an amazing time, and would definitely recommend!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very great location. Around 1.2km to city center and 1.3 km to skiing place. Price is very cheap as well. It has a shared kitchen with complete utensils. The receptionist was friendly and informative (gave us a quick background on Zakopane's mountains, recommended good restaurants, and gave us some tips on how to explore Zakopane). He even upgraded us to a room with a balcony (with great view) and a private bathroom.

    Great location just 10-15 min walk from Krupówki. This is a budget hotel and is quite outdated but it is exactly what was described and the price matched it. So if you care about budget and location, this was great!

    To be honest quite cheap and small hostel with great location, however there are things to improve. For example we did not get towels and Wi-Fi was very slow. You are allowed to leave bags when your reservation is expired which is brilliant. When it comes to cooking everything is available. Rubbish is not taken out on time in the washroom.

    Everything was fine. No towels. It was clean. But the people who stayed were very, very loud and rude. Multiple groups. So everything about the listing was fine, but the type of people who come because it's very cheap (young, drunk, aggressive?) made me feel pretty unsafe. It was all men who felt it was fine to be very loud and yell, have their phones on full volume, curse, etc. I decided not to stay another night.

    Great location for a budget stay, you are out of the house and straight to the mountains. We've visited Zakopane with our kids to go up Kasprowy Wierch by cable car, which was easy to walk to - around 2km on foot and easy to navigate to. Clean towels, beds as requested and late check out were granted easy. The hotel staff was nice and helpful, even though I don't speak polish we settled everything with no issues.

    The place is quite small (1room for 1floor), so it’s like we’re all roommates in a small apartment. Really good atmosphere, perfect place to meet new people. The place is really cheap, it was clean, and there was hair dryer. If I come back to Zakopane, I’ll definitely stay in this hostel again.
