First Impressions

Apartament Gawra Zakopane sits right on Orkana Street, and honestly, you can’t ask for a better spot in Zakopane. I mean, you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from Krupówki — that’s the main pedestrian street where everything happens. The building itself has this clean, modern feel that works well against the backdrop of the Tatras looming behind it.

The Apartment Experience

What I really appreciated about this four-star place is that each apartment feels like you’re staying in someone’s well-designed home rather than a typical hotel room. The kitchen setup is actually functional — not one of those token kitchenettes where you can barely make coffee. You’ve got proper counter space, a full-size fridge, and decent cookware if you want to grab some oscypek from the local market and make yourself a proper meal.

Location Perks

Here’s what locals know: being on Orkana means you’re close enough to walk everywhere but far enough from Krupówki that you won’t hear drunk tourists singing Polish folk songs at 2 AM. The Gubałówka cable car station is about a 10-minute walk, and if you’re into hiking, you can reach several Tatra trailheads without dealing with the crazy parking situation that plagues most of Zakopane during peak season.

What Works Daily

The apartments come with all those little things that matter when you’re staying more than a night or two. Decent Wi-Fi that actually works when you need to upload those mountain photos, proper heating (trust me, Zakopane evenings get chilly even in summer), and enough space to spread out your hiking gear without tripping over everything. The bathrooms are modern and well-maintained — nothing fancy, but you know what, sometimes that’s exactly what you want after a long day on the trails.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t the most glamorous place in town, but it hits that sweet spot where everything just works smoothly. The 8.7 rating makes sense when you consider that you’re getting apartment-style freedom with hotel-level cleanliness and service. Plus, the staff actually knows the area — they’ll point you toward the better hiking routes and tell you which restaurant on Krupówki serves the best zurek without the tourist markup. It’s the kind of place where you can cook your own breakfast or walk five minutes to that little café that does incredible naleśniki.

Excellent location, great communication from the host. Let us check in slightly early. Good size apartment, 2 floors & 3 toilets meant we all had space. Would stay again.

What could be improved: The stairs! Didn't realise it was top floor and there was no toaster. Sounds petty but our kids love toast.

Location was excellent straight into main town. Apartment was spacious & felt almost like a log cabin. Underground parking. Log fire made it extra special for Xmas feel.

What could be improved: We had 2 bath towels & 4 hand towels between 5 adults, no tea towels for pots. Decor in places looking tired but still a lovely place. We had entire top floor to accommodate us so quite a trek on stairs.

Very nice apartment, beautiful design, very spaceous, well equiped. The view is nice too. Lovation is great.

What could be improved: It’s not exatly where booking shows it is supposed to be.
We arrived at dark. It was very cold and windy. Nobody speaks english :( it was hard to even find the place, since the address they give you is not where the map show the apartment on booking. We were told to call a number 1 hour before arrival. The number was always busy or just off. Then I accidently noticed that i’ve got some texts on whats up, that i barely use, so the notifications are silenced for the app. They sent us photos and some polish explanations, but not much… we had no idea how to get into the apartment. Later in the morning, when we werent tired and could look around, figured out the whole thing and got to understand the meaning of the pictures…
Anyway, we’ve got some help from a lady, who gave us the keys and told us how to get into the apartment. When i wanted to tell her that we had problems findig the place she just told me that she cant understand me and left us… okay, we were all angry before she arrived, because we were waiting outside with our 1 year old baby who were allready crying a lot , and the cartrip was long too, and we didnt needed those dificultys to get in… but maybe a sorry would have been great instead of just saying “ i dont understand you” and runaway…

By the way the apartment is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator. This could be a problem with a stroller… but gives you a very nice view to the mountains.

Clean, beds very comfortable. Great location.

What could be improved: It wasn’t obvious when we booked that the apartment was on the 4th floor. The washing machine was difficult to access and there was no drying rack

What could be improved: I hated everything about them and their low quality service
The check in process didn’t go smooth nobody spoke English and we understood nothing from what the security guy Who was speaking in Polish for the entire entire time and didn’t know a word in English.
We were given a different Apartment than the one we booked. The one we booked was meant to be In the main walking street district with wooden interior giving you the feel of Zakopane and the one given was way far from it with the worst interior ever and a sewage smell in it for the entire time. The customer representer literally texted me saying that there is nothing that they can help us with if we don’t like it meanly. What was even worse is that we paid four times extra for an apartment in advance over booking website where it was supposed to be in the middle of the walking street but we are given an apartment way far away from the Walking. Also, the check-in process was the worst as the security guy did not speak English at all, and whatever he was explaining it was in Polish, which we understood nothing from. The interior was cheap quality with red and grey color screaming at you the entire time. There was no privacy whatsoever, so whenever you open your window from any of the rooms you are facing other people from the opposite building, staring at you.

What was even worse is that when we decided to cancel the entire booking even booking could not reach out to the hotel and sent me a message saying that I need to contact them when they actually basically said there is nothing that they can do for us so the entire process was horrible and I would not recommend anyone to trust them as all they care about is your pocket not your comfort or wellbeing

Az apartman tökéletes nagyobb társaságoknak is, mindent megtalálsz benne, amire szükséged lehet, akár 8 fő is kényelmesen elfér. A tisztaság mindeden elvárást kielégít. A lokációja miatt mindenhez közel, a parkolás a mélygarázsban biztonságos és prktikus. Ha ismét Zakopaneba jövünk, csak ezt az apartmant választjuk

What could be improved: Nincs negatívum.
