About

Apartamenty Gubalowka

Apartamenty Gubalowka sits in a quiet part of Zakopane, close to the old town and within easy reach of the lower cable-car station for Kasprowy Wierch. The apartments are set up for independent stays, with a kitchenette or kitchen, a sitting area and, in several units, a balcony overlooking the garden or the mountains.

Guests consistently point to the cleanliness, the responsive host and the convenience of having a parking space in a town where parking is often tight. It’s a practical choice for skiers, hikers and families who want a self-contained base rather than a full-service hotel.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Outstanding guest ratings — With a 9.7 rating from 500 reviews, this is one of the best-regarded stays in Zakopane, scoring particularly high for staff (9.9), rooms (9.8) and service (9.8).
  • Free on-site parking — Complimentary private parking is available on site, and multiple reviews call out the convenience and security of having a dedicated space in Zakopane’s busy centre.
  • Convenient location — A 5-minute drive from Gubalowka Zakopane and within easy reach of the Kasprowy Wierch cable car, Krupowki Street and the old quarter – several reviews highlight the short walk to the main attractions.
  • Well-equipped self-catering — Each apartment includes a kitchen with electric kettle, cookware and utensils, tea/coffee facilities, a dining table and an outdoor dining area – a practical set-up for longer stays.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not a full-service hotel — There’s no reception desk and no on-site restaurant, so expect a self-service experience – check-in is by arrangement and there’s no daily housekeeping implied.
  • Some rooms lack a mountain view — The Superior Apartment is not listed with a garden or mountain view, so if views are a priority, check the room type when booking.
  • Dated appliances can require a learning curve — At least one guest noted needing YouTube to figure out the kitchen appliances – the equipment works, but it may not be the latest model.
  • Limited pillows — A reviewer mentioned they could have used more pillows – so if you like extra support, consider bringing your own.

“An amazing apartment with jaw-dropping mountain views from both the living room and bedroom balconies. The kitchen was well equipped, including a dishwasher. Owner Maja was extremely responsive and helpful, even arranging early check-in and sharing safety advice. Convenient for the Kasprowy Wierch cable car and the main street. Clean and comfortable for four to five people. Great for skiing and snowboarding, with nearby ski lifts and a friendly owner. Thoughtful design, clean and comfortable, with excellent tips on local attractions. Brand-new, well-appointed units with beautiful hillside views and close to the centre and the hillside tram. Excellent value.”
