What guests report

View

Apartments with Giewont and Tatras views from balconies; pool is street-facing with low privacy

Bed & mattress

Not consistently mentioned; one guest complained couch-bed was hard

Bathroom & water

Toilets praised as 'wonderfully styled'; no mentions of water pressure or temperature problems

Wi-Fi

Mentioned as 'free WiFi' but no detailed speed/reliability feedback provided

Breakfast

Buffet described as extensive with fresh pastries, meats, cheeses, oscypek, fruits, and eggs; high quality; worth the stay

AC / heating

Heating in apartments works; one guest noted poor ventilation in main areas and sewage smell in one apartment

Local knowledge

Request server Marek or Dariusz by name if you want exceptional attentive service and cocktail recommendations.

Avoid ordering ice cream cones to eat at tables—management reportedly refuses to allow it, pushing expensive in-restaurant sundaes instead.

The open shop sells fresh local charcuterie and pastries on-site; quality is high but prices are premium.
