HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know what caught me off guard about Royal Hill Residence? The name made me expect some stuffy, over-the-top place, but honestly, it’s got this relaxed mountain lodge vibe that just works. I mean, you’re right on Szymaszkowa Street, which – if you know Zakopane at all – puts you in this sweet spot where you can actually walk to the main Krupówki pedestrian zone without dealing with all the tourist chaos right outside your window. The building itself has that modern Polish mountain style going on, sort of sleek but still feels like it belongs in the Tatras.

The rooms are genuinely comfortable (and I’m picky about mattresses), plus most of them have these decent-sized windows that frame the mountain views pretty nicely. What I really appreciated was the attention to small stuff – like, the Wi-Fi actually works consistently, there’s proper lighting for reading, and the bathrooms have those rainfall showerheads that don’t run out of hot water after five minutes. Check-in was smooth too, no waiting around with a bunch of forms to fill out. The staff speaks English well enough, which honestly isn’t always a given in smaller Polish mountain towns, even the touristy ones like Zakopane.

Here’s the thing about the location that the booking sites don’t really capture – you’re close enough to walk to all the restaurants and bars on Krupówki when you want that energy, but far enough up the hill that you’re not hearing drunk tourists singing at 2 AM. Plus, if you’re into hiking (which, let’s be real, is probably why you’re in Zakopane), you can catch the bus to Kasprowy Wierch or the cable car to Gubałówka without having to navigate through the main tourist crush every morning. Parking’s included, which is actually a big deal because finding a spot near the center can be a nightmare, especially during ski season or summer weekends. The breakfast spread is solid – nothing fancy, but they’ve got good local bread, decent coffee, and enough variety that you won’t get bored if you’re staying a few days. I’d definitely stay here again, and that’s saying something because I’m usually the type who likes to try different places. Sometimes you just find a spot that gets the balance right between comfort and location without trying too hard to impress you.

Very good place to stay, calm and quiet. Several parking spaces and close to the bus stop (private lines). Beautiful mountain views. Close to the city center and a 30 minute walk from gubalowka funicular. The apartment was clean and has a small fridge, dish washer, dishes, glasses…. We took the bus to do everything (Chochołowskie thermal, cable car kasprovy wierch). The size of the room is pretty good. Each room has its own heater.
