Szklane Domy Overview
First Impressions
Honestly, when I first spotted Szklane Domy in Zakopane, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the name — “Glass Houses” in English. But walking up to these sleek, modern structures against the backdrop of the Tatra Mountains, it all made perfect sense. This four-star property sits quietly in Ciągłówka, just far enough from the tourist chaos of Krupówki Street but close enough that you’re not stranded.
The Mountain Setting
What I really appreciate about this spot is how it balances accessibility with that mountain retreat feeling. You’re about a 10-minute drive from central Zakopane, which means you can easily hit up the local restaurants and shops, but you also get these incredible mountain views right from your window. The Tatra peaks just loom there in the distance — and trust me, it never gets old waking up to that sight.
The Accommodation
The room I stayed in was surprisingly spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows that really live up to the “glass houses” concept. Each unit feels more like a modern mountain apartment than a typical hotel space, complete with a well-equipped kitchenette that actually comes in handy. I mean, sometimes you just want to make your own coffee in the morning without having to get dressed and venture downstairs, you know?
Practical Perks
There’s decent parking on-site, which is honestly a blessing in Zakopane where finding a spot can be a nightmare during peak season. The staff keeps things low-key but helpful — they’re not hovering, but they know the area well and can point you toward the better hiking trails that locals actually use. After a long day on the slopes or trekking around, there’s a sauna that hits the spot perfectly.
Why Guests Love It
What sets Szklane Domy apart is this combination of contemporary design with genuine mountain hospitality. The 9.1 rating makes sense when you consider that you’re getting modern amenities without sacrificing that authentic Zakopane experience. It’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it delivers exactly what you need for a solid mountain getaway — comfort, views, and that perfect balance between being connected to the action and having your own peaceful retreat.

Guest Reviews
The accomodation was super clean, staff was great and everything what we needed was there.
What could be improved: I've got only one thing that is the large bed which is split into 2 smaller mattress, what is a littbe bit annoying.
Clean & spacious apartment with fully working kitchen. Bus/Train station is 15mints walk. Close proximity to the old town. Snowy mountain view from balcony.
What could be improved: Everything was fine.
The apartment was very roomy and clean. Nothing to complain.
Amazing big balcony with the view into the mountains. There is a small stream next to the hotel. When you open the window, you can enjoy the calming sounds of nature and sometimes even see deer by the stream. A little bit far from city center, but...
