TOP Hostel is located in the very center of Zakopane. It offers 5 private rooms for 2-4 people, 4 spacious, comfortable (but not cheap) apartments (6-10 people) and 2 dormitories for 4 and 6 people, and a large common room with a TV, darts and a PC computer. Free wi-fi internet is available and guests have access to a fully equipped kitchen and a dining room. Additionally, a sweet continental breakfast is available and includes jams, cereal, toasts, tea, coffee and milk..

TOP Hostel is an excellent choice for tourists who value the atmosphere of a hostel and accommodation in the city center. In the high season, there are a lot of people in Krupówki until late at night, and from the morning lorries deliver goods to numerous restaurants. If you value peace - look for another place, if you want to be in the very center of Zakopane - book TOP Hostel.

Willa Skalny Potok is located outside the center of Zakopane (7km from Krupówki), in the upper part of the city (almost 1000 m). The villa has 20 beds in double, triple and quadruple bedrooms with balconies and bathrooms. In the corridor, there is a kitchenette equipped with a microwave, kettle, gas stove and fridge. There is also a large kitchen with a dining area, billiards, a children's playroom and a playground in the garden.

I recommend Villa Skalny Potok to tourists with a car because from Cyrhla (a picturesque district of Zakopane) it is quite far everywhere. The minibusses which run here, are often overcrowded in high season. Villa has a rating of 9.6 on booking.com!

Wow location )and the only one thing which they complain about is a lot of traffic outside the window.
