Willa Orla

Very pleasant and quite charming local hotel in Zakopane - outside of the tourist precinct - the rooms were small but comfortable - and the service was excellent (thank you Agnetha). My only quibble was the wifi was very patchy when we stayed there but otherwise delightful.

Room 2 on the main floor (only ½ a flight of stairs at the entrance). This is a large room with a big table and 2 chairs, a cabinet at the entry and a good spot to hang jackets. Nice view of the entrance towards the street, noise was not a problem (it was October). Beds were a good size and comfortable with two big windows (that opened) and an electrical heating unit and a boiler type heating unit. Side tables and lamps were provided for each bed. Small flat screen tv with BBC. Only one towel each and no hand towel (though there was a bath mat). Bathroom was nice and modern and even offered a nice cabinet and shelf, also handy electrical plug-in. Breakfast was good with cheeses, cold meats, breads, jams, butter, eggs and a fancy coffee machine making lattes, cappuccinos and other coffees. Location is good in a very historical/regional architectural style area of town. It was a pleasant walk to downtown right past the wooden church and interesting cemetery. I would recommend this place and return.

Brilliantly located at one of the busiest roads in Zakopane, leading to some major attractions of Kościeliska and Chochołowska valleys. Two rather small car parks at the front and at the back, so some cars have to park out on the surrounding very narrow roads. Wooden building of large size. We got a family room down the corridor. First impression - quite dark, but the day was gray as well. It came to our attention, that there were some adjustments done some time ago, that the end of the corridor was accommodated as part of the room, which used to be one with communal toilets over the corridor, but now it is en-suite, as the last section of corridor has been cut of by the door, so no one else can use the toilets (also with showers now), and these are only for this room. Breakfast plentiful, with good variety. I remember my first trip to Zakopane in late eighties, and places we stayed in were just like Willa Orla. A bit sentimental, but in very good meaning of the word.
