Szarotka

Perched at the foot of Giewont in the Tatra Mountains, this Zakopane pension sits about a 15-minute walk from the city centre and roughly 900 m from Krupówki Street. Located inside a national park and minutes from Gubałówka Market and Zakopane Aqua Park, it’s a family-friendly, pet-friendly base for hiking, skiing and mountain escapes.

Szarotka mixes 1930s antiques and lace curtains with modern comforts — think original lower-floor doors, period furniture and faded-elegance charm alongside daily housekeeping. There are 17 guestrooms with private bathrooms, satellite TV, electric kettles, hairdryers, desks and laptop-compatible safes.

Relax in the on-site spa and sauna or book a massage after a day on the trails or slopes. The pension also offers a bar, restaurant and café, an arcade/game room and playrooms for kids, table tennis, a garden and barbecue area, plus free Wi‑Fi, free self-parking, tour and transfer assistance, and help arranging activities like sleigh rides, snowmobiling, rafting, quad biking and segway trips. Ski shuttle and babysitting are available for a surcharge.

Suited for seminars and small conferences, Szarotka provides a computer station, express check-in and check-out, complimentary wireless internet and free on-site self parking.

Enjoy meals at the on-site restaurant, grab snacks or coffee in the café and unwind at the bar/lounge. Buffet breakfasts are served daily from 8:00–10:00 for a fee.
