I have stayed at the hotel several years in a row during the New Year holiday week, and each year has been better than the last. At one point the restaurant service was just okay, but on the latest visit the staff was dramatically improved, so there must be some good changes going on in management. The ski mountain next to the hotel is fun and exciting. It does draw a good crowd, so staying at Kasprowy with ski in, ski out is truly a great experience and offers time savings, especially when you have a family with kids and all of the gear. The on-site ski shop is very fast and helpful if you have any kind of equipment breakdown! The hotel is a short walk from the main street, but it's also nice to be away from the craziness, and to be in a peaceful retreat. The views - Wow! Such a treat to wake up and go for a walk to the banquet room and look out at the mountain scenery. We will certainly come back to Kasprowy year after year, and we look forward to additional upgrades with the new management in place.

Villa Vita is a great spot to stay for one or two nigths if you are in Zakopane to have some fun…read moreand a little break from the everyday routine. It is located on Krupowki Street which is a busy promenade loaded with shops, restaurants and of course people. The crowd size depends on the season. About the hotel. We're always looking to find a different place to stay because of our adventurous soul, but still we end up in the same place. Villa Vita is just perfect for us. The combination of location, price and what they offer is just right. Our rooms are always extremely clean and pretty. I love the reception desk area right now. They keep improving not only rooms but they also gave a beautiful makeover to the entrance and a foyer. It's so cozy and inviting. Even the stairs in some parts are covered with a sweater-like carpet. Of course there are pros and cons. First of all, to get to any of the rooms, guests have to climb a lot of stairs, which is not a problem in our case, but for a person with a disability it would be a serious issue. Even carrying up a heavier suitcase could be a pain for anyone. There is no elevator. Second, breakfast is included with the price. It's a buffet and we like it a lot, but officially it is served only until 10:00... I have to ask why? We're here for leisure, and setting alarm to get up and ready for breakfast would be kind of ridiculous. I think 11:00 would be just right considering people are out on the town until late, it's Zakopane, right? Communication is rather poor. The best way to make a reservation is through Expedia, Booking etc. Even the economy type rooms are really nice. They're not too big but compact and very cozy. The TV didn't work well, but we actually didn't have time to watch it. The updated bathroom was so nice, with cool mountain landscape accent on the shower wall. The view of Giewiont and Tatra Mountains is wonderful. I whish the windows were cleaner, but I understand the air is rather polluted in Zakopane, especially in the center of town, and it must get dirty pretty fast. The beds are comfortable and the bedding is crispy clean and smells good/fresh. I already mentioned that, this hotel is located in a busy area of Zakopane. To have a more realelaxing athmostmosphere or a better starting point to hiking trails, it would be better to choose a different accommodation. Walking distance from the bus and train station to Villa Vita is only around 20 minutes. There are taxis available too, but we never use them. Parking at the hotel costs extra, not sure how much and what kind of rules apply. We always use public transportation to get there. The reception desk person is always very polite and welcoming. She greets everyone with a warm smile and is open for any help if it's necessary. I recommend avoiding visiting Zakopane during any holidays or summer time when people usually take their time off. Its simply to crowded.
