Grand Hotel Stamary

Old style charm with contemporary glass and professional care

Nice place location good 10min walk to town centre,

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Stamary for 2 nights and cannot find anything negative to say about it. If arriving in Zakopane by bus or train the hotel is only a few minutes walk away. Obviously outside it is a beautiful building which continues on inside, pure old world charm with dark wood beautiful furniture, lovely pictures and squishy sofas in which to relax with a book, drink etc. Our room was well furnished with very comfy bed, excellent bathroom with very good toiletries provided. The view from the room was just beautiful. Reception staff were helpful, polite and friendly. We did encounter 2 'cleaning' staff who were also friendly and smiley, especially as we don't speak Polish. The breakfast buffet was very, very, very good! To be honest I couldn't think of anything that was missing. We had dinner both nights at the hotel and OMG both nights were EXCELLENT. The Restaurant Manager/Waiter (sorry I didn't get his name, the gentleman with black beard) was so knowledgeable regarding the food available and also interested in the customers preferences, he obviously works very well with the EXCELLENT Chef. All food we had was nicely presented, very well cooked and seasoned/flavoured. The 'complimentary' starter/tasters were delicious and something we would not have normally tried. However, the 'piece de resistance' must be the 'Speciality' ice cream - you must try this and leave it up to the staff to decide on flavours! We've been lucky enough to stay at the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff Canada and to be honest I would put Grand Hotel Stamary on par with that. All I can say is we look forward to returning soon I hope and Thank You for a lovely short break.
