It’s a very cosy place. I arrived earlier and the receptionist allowed me to check in to my room promptly. After check out, another member of the staff also found me a room where I could work for two hours. They also helped me find the right transportation, even the only one that didn’t speak English used Google translator to help me. The reception staff is the best. The room was small but comfortable, the shower excellent. The only thing that could improve is breakfast. But overall, a very good stay.

Wonderful ambiance in an Alpine-style B&B. In a month of train-hopping stays this was my favorite overnight stop. Great value in this rural-vibe small city of Zakopane, which abuts a mountainous national park. Absolutely refreshing after the ultra-touristy and frankly, snarky atmosphere of Krakow. All three staff people I dealt with at this B&B spoke flawless English and were all very friendly and helpful. In fact, on my second night there, one of the staffers knocked on my door and handed to me a sack lunch that she’d had the kitchen crew fix after I told her I had to leave before dawn the next morning to catch an early train. No charge, she said. One of the nicest gestures ever, in my experience. Top-flight continental breakfast, by the way. And a superb restaurant is right next door.
