About

Zakopianska Gawra

Zakopianska Gawra is a one-bedroom apartment on Hr. Wladyslawa Zamoyskiego, set back with a garden view. It's a short walk from the Tatra Museum (about 5 minutes), and close to the lively Krupowki Street, the main pedestrian thoroughfare lined with restaurants and shops. The property keeps a straightforward, home-like feel, with a sitting area, dining table and tea and coffee facilities for self-catering stays.

For winter visitors, ski storage is available, and the apartment also has a washing machine, ironing facilities and a grocery shopping service – practical touches for longer stays. The 24-hour reception and VIP check-in/out add flexibility, while guests can leave the car behind and explore the town on foot. The property is rated 8.2/10 from 298 reviews, with service and staff both scoring 8.6.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Great location for exploring Zakopane — Guests consistently rate the property's position; it's a 5-minute walk to the Tatra Museum and within about 10 minutes' walk to Krupowki Street, the town's main square and shopping street. This puts restaurants, galleries and landmarks close at hand without the noise of the very centre.
  • Service and staff score high — The service and staff rating comes in at 8.6, the joint-highest category, reflecting a smooth, helpful experience from check-in to housekeeping. The 24-hour reception and VIP check-in/out back this up for guests arriving at odd hours.
  • Self-catering comforts — The apartment has a full set of kitchen basics – electric kettle, cookware, dining table – plus a washing machine and ironing facilities. For longer stays or family trips, this makes it easy to settle in and cook at home.
  • Ski-friendly amenities — With ski storage on site and easy access to Nosal Ski Center (about a 30-minute walk), the apartment is set up for winter activity. The property also provides a storage place for belongings, as noted in the description.
  • Free Wi-Fi and in-room extras — Guests get free Wi-Fi in rooms, plus a flat-screen TV, air conditioning and heating. Breakfast can be served in the room, and a grocery shopping service is available for stocking the kitchen.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • No parking on site — There's no parking listed, which may be a drawback for guests driving to Zakopane. Street parking in the centre can be limited, so it's worth planning ahead if you arrive by car.
  • Check-in window is tight — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to coordinate. Check-out is at 10:00, which is fairly standard but not flexible for a leisurely morning.
  • One-bedroom layout only — The only listed room type is a one-bedroom apartment with a single king bed. This suits couples or solo travellers but won't work for larger groups or families needing separate sleeping space.
  • Average rating below area norm — At 8.2, the property rates lower than the Zakopane area average of 9.1. The 'General' category (8.3) and 'Value' (8.2) are middling, suggesting the experience, while solid, doesn't stand out against nearby options.
  • Some distance from main cable car — The lower station of the Gubalowka cable car (Polskie Koleje Linowe) is about 1.6 km away, a 20–25 minute walk. Skiers headed to higher slopes may find this inconvenient without a car.
