Room was clean. It is a budget hotel so do not expect much. For a few nights it is perfectly fine. Close to the main Zakopana Main Street and to the the cable car. Parking was 20-Pln/ day extra which was a surprise for me. Otherwise it’s ok.

Room space and breakfast were good but bed, mattress and pillows were awful. We couldn't have worse sleep.
Inside the room were only 2 plugs. One by the window and one in the toilet.
We had to put the kettle on the floor close to the plug to boil some water for a tea.
Clean and spacious. Easy check in. Comfortable bed. Tea and coffee provided in a room. People wrote that there is no outlets but there were and an extension cord with 3 extra outlets. Clean bathroom. Had all that we needed. Short walk to Main Street. We also lucked out with a pretty view
The hotel was a bit tired, but the "room" was huge, with a living room, 2 toilets and a loft with 2 double beds.
The hotel was of an older date and had no elevator, so it was a little harder to have to drag your heavy suitcase up all those stairs.
Spacious enough. It’s not on Krupowki and actually the strip is not so easy to find in the dark. It would be helpful to have a map or marked ways to get to Krupowki.
Alte Villa mit Charme und toller Lage am Park nahe dem Zentrum.
Zimmer groß und old Style aber gut.
Kein Aufzug, aber nur drei Etagen.
Sitzmöglicheit draußen im Grünberei
Jeg bodde der bare en natt, og det var mer enn nok. Trist og gammelt overnattingsted som er gått ut på dato. Kan ikke akkurat anbefale noen dette stedet. Måtte over i nabolaget å hente nøkkel til rommet og ingen heis. I det hele tatt en trist opplevelse.

Spodziewałam się czegoś lepszego
Pokój bardzo czysty, 2 krzesła na 3 osoby, tylko jeden podwójny kontakt, suszarka do włosów porażka, wzięłam swoją ale abym mogła jej użyć ktoś musiał trzymać wtyczkę w gniazdku bo ciagle wypadała. Gniazdko wbudowane w zamontowana suszarkę - obluzowane, mało wygodne łóżka, widok z okna mega słaby - na śmietnik i paczkomat. Panie z recepcji bardzo grzeczne i miłe, śniadania dobre - polecam. Brak możliwości zrobienia kawy/herbaty - wbrew zapewnieniom na stronie. Ogólna lokalizacja w sumie ok. Słabą opcja jest dopłata za parking, przy takiej cenie wynajmu powinno być zawarte w cenie. Biorąc pod uwagę wszystko cena zbyt wysoka

Dumna nazwa,przecietna jakość.
Hotel jest doskonale położony, cichy, posiada wiele pokoi o różnych powierzchniach i komforcie. Niestety, przydzielony nam pokój byl stosunkowo mały, z absoltnym minimum czyli lazienka )bardzo dobra) łóżko, wieszak, szafka i maly tv. Minusem bylo przydzielenie nam malych, oddzielnych łóżek bez możliwości zmian.
Convenient location, room was nicely heated abd bathroom nicely renovated.

Są lepsze hotele za tą samą cenę
Hotel,który potrzebuje remontu i odświeżenia.Kabina prysznicowa popsuta.W recepcji trzeba czekać,aż ktoś się pojawi.Płatny parking,który jest na podwórku hotelu.Fajny pomysł zrobienia sobie kawy czy herbaty na korytarzach,ale brak kubków.Bufet śniadaniowy płatny 20 zł od osoby jest zróżnicowany i wart tych pieniędzy.Cena za nocleg nie adekwatna do jakości.
Nice willa in the centre of the city, within short walking distance to the Krupówki Street. Very good buffet breakfast with excellent selection of cereals, cheeses, cold cuts, fish, eggs, sausages, salads, breads, crepes, cakes, jams, fruits, etc available in the adjoining Carlton Willa. The only problem was that we had to use the wet towels as they would not dry in the room.
