HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know what struck me first about Willa Jankes? It’s tucked away on this quiet residential street in Walkosze, which honestly feels like you’ve discovered some local secret that most tourists completely miss. I mean, you’re still in Zakopane, but it’s removed from all that main strip chaos – no street vendors hawking those wooden highlander figurines or crowds of people trying to get the perfect Tatra Mountains selfie right outside your window.

The place has this authentic mountain lodge feel that actually works, not the overdone rustic thing you see at some places. The owners clearly know what they’re doing – everything feels thoughtfully put together without being fussy about it. The rooms are genuinely comfortable (and I’m picky about mattresses), with these big windows that frame the mountains perfectly. What I really appreciated was the attention to small stuff – proper reading lights, enough outlets for your devices, and honestly some of the best water pressure I’ve had in Polish mountain hotels. The breakfast situation is solid too, with local specialties that change based on what’s seasonal, which tells you they’re actually sourcing locally rather than just throwing together a standard continental spread.

Here’s the thing about the location that took me a day to fully appreciate – you’re about a 15-minute walk to the main Krupówki pedestrian area, but it’s mostly downhill going there (which means uphill coming back, fair warning). But there’s a local bus that runs pretty regularly, and honestly? Sometimes the walk is perfect, especially in the evening when you want to decompress from all the tourist energy. The neighborhood itself has this lived-in quality where you’ll see actual Zakopane residents going about their day, kids playing in small parks, that sort of thing. Plus you’re closer to some of the better hiking trailheads – the path up to Gubałówka Hill is practically around the corner, and you can access several Tatra trails without having to navigate through the town center first. The staff speaks solid English and they’re genuinely helpful with trail recommendations, not just handing you generic pamphlets. I stayed here in late spring when things can be unpredictable weather-wise, and they had great advice about which trails would actually be accessible. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying somewhere that locals would actually recommend to their friends, not just another tourist accommodation.

The value for the money is exceptional. The building seems about 3-4 years old, and the layout is perfect for a larger group. Built on a slope the first floor is at the level of the parkin lot (has space for two cars) and has all the relaxation amenities, the second floor has the living room, kitchen (fully equiped) and the hallway with main entrance. And on the third floor there are three bedrooms. Alll rooms except one bedroom have direct view to the mountains. Two higher levels have also balconies.
Do not get distracted by the disctance from the city center - it's easily accessible and the distance means that the whole mountain range is visible (marvelous sunsets are included in the price if the weather permits) instead of some trees or a shadowy slope.
Not stated clearly in te description - tha sauna costs 150 zl per use (to be paid in cash upon departure), but the jacuzzi is included in the price and is kept warm 24h/7. Water in it had some smell of chlorine, but that is to be expected unless the tank is emptied daily.
