Apartamenty Sun & Snow Resorts Lipki Park z sauną

HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know what caught me off guard about Sun & Snow Resorts Lipki Park? The sauna situation is actually legit – I mean, after spending hours wandering around Zakopane’s crazy busy Krupówki street, having your own sauna back at the apartment feels like a small miracle. The building sits on Za Strugiem, which honestly sounds more intimidating than it is. It’s this quiet residential street that’s far enough from the main tourist chaos but close enough that you’re not hiking forever to get to decent pierogi.

The apartments themselves have that modern mountain lodge thing going on, though I’ll be straight with you – at three stars, you’re not getting marble countertops or anything fancy. But the space actually works really well, especially if you’re traveling with a group or planning to stay more than a couple nights. The kitchenette is surprisingly functional (I managed to make decent coffee every morning, which is saying something), and the living areas don’t feel cramped like some of these mountain rentals do. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night – you’re tucked away from the late-night revelry that echoes through the town center, but you can still hear the mountains settling around you, if that makes sense.

Here’s the thing about this place that most reviews won’t tell you: the location is actually perfect for accessing the hiking trails without dealing with the parking nightmare down in central Zakopane. You can walk to some of the less crowded trailheads, and honestly, during peak season (July-August, and definitely winter ski season), that’s worth its weight in gold. The staff seems to get that most guests are here for the mountains, not the amenities – check-in was smooth, they had actual useful local recommendations, and nobody tried to upsell me on spa packages or whatever. The 8-point rating feels about right to me. It’s not going to blow you away with luxury, but it delivers on what matters: clean, comfortable space with that sauna bonus, reasonable proximity to both town and trails, and – this might sound small but trust me – really solid WiFi for when you need to upload all those Tatra Mountain photos. I’d definitely book it again, especially for a longer stay where having a proper apartment setup makes more sense than cramming into a hotel room.
