The term "warm welcome" is highly accurate. I felt at home straight away. I was also the only guest at this time, and while you'd expect it to feel awkward, it completely wasn't. The staff were nice, patient, friendly and chatty. They're also keen snowboarders and skiiers who know their stuff and the clothes and equipment hire came to about 10E. It is, however a 30min walk to town centre but food shops are 10mins away and it means you're closer to the nice walks away from the town.

This place is fantastic, so homey and cosy. Its not in town, so you have to either catch the buses or a taxi, but its not too much of a hassle. The staff are so friendly and helpful, I would definitely recommend staying here.

One of the best hostels I've ever been to. Incredibly beautiful place, awesome house and perfect location for winter sports. The staff is awesome, the ambient is probably the best I've ever seen in a hostel. This is one of my favorite places of all times.

Goodbye Lenin Zakopane is really the place to stay! Wonderful setting in nature, still not far from the center (4km), and above everything, wonderful staff (Stan, Dave & Agniezska) and nice atmosphere! Of over 100 hostels that I ever stayed in, definitely one of the best! Will be back soon! Ernie

Of all the hostels I've ever stayed in, this one was by far the best!!! If the hostel has a good few people staying there, it won't be beaten for armosphere. Qualified ski and snowboard instructors work at reception and Dave, the snowboard guy was brilliant for getting you started. I'm definitely going to be back next january!

I ventured of to Zakopane for some skiing!!! So cheap by the way, The manager Stan was amazing he went out of his way to cater for our every need even if that need was to drop us to a bar 40 mins away to meet some ladies we met on the slope. The hostel is on the outskirts of town, however i was there for skiing so it was perfect to come home buggered, have a few Beers and play some poker with other guests and staff. highly recommend this hostel to anyone intersted in a relaxing time away.

The far flung location, while inconvenient, allows you to enjoy the blissful serenity of Zakopane. Staying in a traditional Zakopane wooden house is an experience not to be missed. The staff is very helpful, and you can rent your ski gear at affordable rates there as well.

The best thing about this hostel is that if you are into winter sports, they have all the equipment. The welcome shot is pretty sweet. Staff is also really nice, we BBQed and also went snowboarding together. There is a PC in the common room with loads of music and movies. Great atmosphere. The buses in Zakapane are not that reliable though.

It feels a bit weird to review this place as it felt like home. We were here for six nights and it wasn't long enough, I miss it! We were here for snowboarding and couldn't have chosen a better place as the guys helped us out with everything from board hire to driving us to the slopes and helping us to buy lift passes (it was very quiet when we were there so not sure if you could expect this mid season but the staff do go out of their way for you) The best location, so pretty.
