Górskie Szczyty Apart & SPA Apartament 16 Sauna Jacuzzi i Parking w cenie

HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know what caught me off guard about Górskie Szczyty Apart & SPA? The name makes it sound like some massive resort complex, but it’s actually this cozy apartment building tucked right on Żeromskiego Street – and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work so well. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from Zakopane’s main drag with all the oscypek vendors and those tourist traps, but somehow this little stretch feels completely removed from the chaos. The apartment itself (number 16, specifically) is what I’d call “mountain modern” – clean lines but with enough wood accents that you don’t forget you’re in the Tatras.

The sauna and jacuzzi situation is legit, which surprised me because most places this size either skip the spa amenities entirely or give you something that barely works. Here’s the thing though – and this is important if you’re traveling in winter – the jacuzzi faces these huge windows, so you can actually soak while watching snow fall on the pine trees outside. It sounds cheesy when I write it, but sitting there after a day of hiking (or let’s be honest, trudging through Zakopane’s crowds) actually felt pretty magical. The sauna gets properly hot too, none of that lukewarm nonsense you sometimes get in apartment-style accommodations. I will say the spa area can feel a bit compact if you’re used to hotel-sized facilities, but for an apartment setup, they’ve maximized the space really cleverly.

What really sold me on this place was the parking situation – and if you’ve ever tried to park in Zakopane during peak season, you know this isn’t a small thing. Having a guaranteed spot included in your stay means you can actually explore the surrounding villages without stress. We drove up to Chochołów one afternoon just because we could, knowing we wouldn’t come back to a parking nightmare. The location on Żeromskiego puts you close enough to walk to Krupówki when you want that bustling mountain town energy, but far enough that you’re not dealing with the noise and crowds when you want to decompress. Plus, there’s this little grocery store about two blocks away that locals actually use – way better prices than anything on the main tourist strip, and they stock proper regional products if you want to cook something authentic in the apartment’s kitchen. Honestly, for a 3-star rating, this place punches well above its weight, especially with that 9-point rating from other guests. It’s not trying to be fancy, just comfortable and thoughtfully designed – which in Zakopane’s often overpriced accommodation scene, feels refreshingly honest.
