For those seeking a cosy, low-rise chalet-style luxury hotel with a wonderful view of the Tatra mountains and an equally impressive combination gym, jacuzzi, sauna and swimming pool (guest use is free), in the heart of Zakopane’s main street, Krupowki, the Hotel Litwor is great.

Once a four star hotel, the Litwor now boasts 5 star status that in my view seems more connected with its excellent quality cuisine, range of food, and food service rather than overall room amenities (for example, most balconies do not have chairs and there’s no ‘kleenex’ in the rooms - things you expect from a five star hotel).

Mini-fridges (that aren’t locked for exclusive liquor use as in some hotels), heated bathroom floors and towel racks, cable and pay T.V., reliable lifts, and a small bar and bar area with a quaint fireplace, compliment the incredibly clean swimming pool area that’s open til 10 PM while the front desk service is as friendly and helpful as anywhere (I even saw the doorman cheerfully change the flat tire of a recently-arrived hotel guest)! Breakfast is hearty with everything good and everything under the stars while cappuccino is included and, if you prefer, eggs can be made specially for you almost any way you like (over the standard scrambled or devilled eggs).

Just outside the Hotel Litwor doors, you’ll find a large outdoor patio restaurant, Zakopane’s main street, a shaded park area, many nearby restaurants (“Soprano” for pizza and a nice sunny patio), cafes, bars (visit “Paparazzi” for sure), a money exchange, grocery and convenience store and much more including ‘Highlander’ horse drawn carriages at your service and pony rides for the little ones.

Though part carnival-like, now touristy and often crowded on the weekends and Polish holidays, this aspect fortunately doesn’t diminish the area’s natural beauty of mountains and forest where you’ll find fresh air, a cable car and tram ride to the top of two of the area’s highest mountains (a must), and plenty of opportunities to point and click!

On the downside not much, except lace-covered table tops beside the bar (hiding handsome wood), a small and under-serviced outdoor patio area, and a much too reserved general manager whose bar and wait staff could smile a bit more or be allowed to relax a little.

In short, Zakopane’s Hotel Litwor is a great place to stay in summer or winter (if you ski, it’s Poland’s version of the Alps) especially if you like quieter hotels with local character, luxury while on vacation and/or are travelling as a couple.

Please note if you plan on hiking down some of the area mountain(s), bring good hiking boots, pay heed to changing weather conditions, and avoid hiking in the rain as trails can become dangerous quickly!

The hotel pretends to be 5-star, and has the outside look and prices of a 5-star hotel. However, inside the rooms are small, the bathrooms we saw only contained a shower, internet was only available against an extra cost of 10 PLN per hour. Furthermore is the hotel restaurant crowded with chairs so you have little space to sit, with little places, and also in the lobby a grownup person cannot sit comfortable. On top of that you have to pay 20 PLN a day for parking your car, although it is guarded, but for 750 PLN per night, I did not expect extra costs. There is a free swimming pool, with toys for children, but it varies from 1 meter to 1.40 meter deep, and is like 10 by 4 meters, so no real swimming pleasure either. Breakfast is extensive, service is OK, and the rooms are clean.

Great location and great view-ridiculous fees! FYI--an extra person will cost you about 140 zl. PER NIGHT, or about $65, that's on top of the $200+/night fees. Oh yeah, and you have to pay extra for the internet too. Ridiculous. This hotel is supposed to be excellent, but how great does being nickled and dimed to death in a $210/night room make you feel? I was very unhappy. to realize I had to pay these fees upon check in. I guess I did not read the fine print closely enough when I booked the place. Just assumed a nice hotel would not have these 2 star-type extra hotel fees. I would not stay here again! It really isn't worth it. Last year I stayed right down the streeet at the Geiwont, for about half the price. Don't waste your money here!

This Hotel is very centrally located in Zakopane. This proved to be a blessing and a curse.

The Hotel itself is quite large and looks pretty impressive with a traditional style. There was a welcoming fire burning in reception when we arrived (it was chilly) and our bags were taken to our room by a porter.
Our room (a twin) was a little disappointing - it was small, a bit shabby and distinctly dated in decor. The bathroom supposedly had a heated floor although we never quite worked it out, but we didn't need it anyway as the room was quite warm (a bit too warm at times). It was all a bit basic and some bits were quite grubby as the staff clearly only cleaned certain areas.
We also suffered badly with noise travelling through walls and floors from other rooms - at times we could hear other people running water or flushing toilets.

The most impressive thing by far was the view. We had a small balcony and the view was just AMAZING - straight across some trees, unimpeded, to the Sleeping Knight (Mt.Giewont) and his neighbours. The balcony and view made a mediocre room into something a bit more special and made up for some of the more basic features.

Breakfast was buffet style and very good. Lots of food and drink, lots of variety and a pleasant conservatory-style area to eat it in. The bar area was a little lacking in atmosphere and we only had a drink here once, but there's plenty of other (cheaper) places to drink in town so no real issue there.

The pool area is great, open until early evening and staffed. There's a decent sized, warm pool overlooked by a huge fish tank set into one wall, with sauna/steam areas, a small hot tub/jacuzzi, wicker loungers, chess sets and a place to buy drinks. There's also a small outside patio area.

We were on top of everything which meant easy access to all the shops, sights and transport links. Unfortunately it also meant that we were right next to a bar/restaurant that was playing loud folk music through speakers every morning at practically first light and throughout the entire day and evening until about 10pm.
This became strangely less obtrusive to us the longer we stayed, (we ended up singing along on the premise that if you can't beat 'em....join 'em) but it would drive some people crazy, undoubtedly.

Overall, I have to say that the Hotel was good, but not great. It was let down by being a little shabby and dated and being just a bit TOO close to town. But the view was fabulous, the breakfast was good, the pool great and the staff pleasant. Just not quite a 4 star. But if they update the rooms and sort out the noise they may be getting there.
