Double House MAGI

HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know what struck me first about Double House MAGI? The name honestly had me curious – I mean, what’s with the “MAGI” part? – but once I found it on Malinowa Street in Kowary, it all made sense. This isn’t your typical hotel setup at all. It’s actually more like staying in someone’s really well-thought-out guesthouse, the kind where you can tell the owners actually live in the area and know what travelers need.

Kowary itself is one of those Polish towns that’s perfectly positioned if you’re planning to explore the Karkonosze Mountains – you’re literally at the foothills here, which means you can wake up and be hiking within twenty minutes. The Double House sits on a quiet residential street (Malinowa translates to “raspberry,” which I found oddly charming), and parking is refreshingly straightforward. No circling blocks or fighting for spots like you’d get in Krakow or Warsaw. The hosts seem to have figured out all those little things that can make or break a stay – decent WiFi that actually works, rooms that stay warm during those chilly mountain evenings, and honestly, the kind of breakfast setup that makes you want to linger over coffee instead of rushing out.

What really gets me about this place is how it manages to feel both homey and professional. The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be a fancy resort or anything, but everything just… works. The rooms are comfortable without being fussy, and you can tell someone put thought into the details. I particularly appreciated how quiet it gets at night, which isn’t always guaranteed in smaller towns where sound travels. If you’re using Kowary as a base for exploring the Sudetes or even day-tripping to places like Jelenia Góra, this spot gives you that local feel without sacrificing comfort. Plus, the hosts speak English well enough to help with recommendations, and trust me, getting insider tips about hiking trails or where to grab a proper meal makes all the difference when you’re exploring this part of Lower Silesia.
