Oliwkowy, Apartament widokowy z dużym tarasem

HOTEL OVERVIEW

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places around Zakopane, and honestly? This apartment on Cyrhla totally caught me off guard. When I first pulled up to 28c, I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical – it’s this quiet residential street that doesn’t look like much from the road. But then you get inside and see that terrace, and suddenly everything clicks. The view stretches right across the valley toward the Tatras, and I mean, you’re literally looking at postcard scenery while drinking your morning coffee. The apartment itself is what I’d call “unfussy comfortable” – clean lines, decent furniture, nothing too fancy but everything you actually need. The kitchen’s got proper counter space (which is rarer than you’d think in mountain rentals), and the bedroom gets great light without being too bright if you want to sleep in.

What really sold me on this place, though, was how it sits in the neighborhood. Cyrhla runs parallel to the main tourist drag, but it’s far enough removed that you’re not dealing with the constant foot traffic and those tour buses that start rumbling around at 7 AM. You know what I mean – Zakopane can get pretty intense during peak season, especially around Krupówki where everyone’s trying to take the same photos. Here, you get the mountain town vibe without feeling like you’re camping in the middle of a theme park. The terrace becomes this perfect retreat spot in the evenings – I’d grab some oscypek from the market earlier in the day and just sit out there watching the light change on the peaks. Parking was surprisingly straightforward too, which anyone who’s driven around this area during summer will appreciate.

The thing that keeps me recommending this spot to people is how it strikes that balance between being close enough to everything but far enough away to actually relax. You can walk to the main strip in about ten minutes if you want the restaurants and nightlife, but you can also head the other direction toward the trails without fighting through crowds first. The owner clearly knows what travelers actually want – good WiFi, blackout curtains, a shower with decent pressure, and that terrace setup that makes you want to spend half your time just sitting outside. It’s not trying to be some luxury resort experience, but honestly, after a day of hiking or skiing, this kind of straightforward comfort hits the spot perfectly. Plus, that 9 rating isn’t just hype – the place delivers on what it promises, and in a town where accommodation quality can be pretty hit-or-miss, that consistency matters more than you might think.
