About

Apartamenty Stara Polana

Apartamenty Stara Polana sits on Nowotarska Street in Zakopane, within easy walking distance of the town's main promenade, Krupówki, and close to the lower station of the Gubałówka cable car. The apartments are set up for self-catering stays, with kitchens (kettle, cookware, dining table) and a washing machine in each unit.

The complex has a distinctly alpine feel: wooden accents, parquet floors, and balconies that open onto mountain views. Guests can use the indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and a shallow children's end, making it a solid base for both summer hiking and winter skiing stays.

“The third-floor apartment was spacious, with a stunning view over the mountains from the lounge and a small balcony. Parking outside and in the underground garage was convenient. The large bathroom with separate shower and huge bath, plus underfloor heating, was a highlight. Everything was clean and modern, the bed was big and comfy, and the kitchen was well equipped. Three balconies with a barbecue were a lovely bonus. The pool, jacuzzi and sauna were easy to use and relaxing. A mind-blowing experience, with helpful staff and a perfect location for hiking and cycling.”

“Beautifully furnished apartment in a perfect location, a 10-minute walk from the centre. The host went out of their way to sort our car when it broke down. Reasonable price, clean and well equipped, with a big comfy bed and three balconies. Pool, jacuzzi and sauna were easily accessible. A very helpful and convenient experience.”
