Gold Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you have a car or do not mind transport, and you want a spa-equipped 4-star at the lowest price of our Zakopane picks. If you want to walk to town sights, look at the other two picks.

Gold Hotel suits drivers and families on a budget. Free parking, family rooms and a spa are all listed, which is a useful mix at this price.
Breakfast fans should also be pleased, since guests praise the large buffet. Staff get good comments too.
Skip it if you are sensitive to firm or narrow mattresses, the most common complaint. Skip it as well if you plan to explore Zakopane on foot, as the main sights in our data are all a long walk away.
Location and getting around
The address is 35 Droga Oswalda Balzera, in the area listed as The Top-rated Area in Kościelisko. The location score is 8.9 out of 10.
Walking times are straight-line estimates. The Tatra Museum is about 3.1 km away, roughly 39 minutes on foot. The Museum of Zakopane Style at Villa Koliba is about 3.5 km, around 44 minutes. Tatra National Park is about 5.1 km, close to 64 minutes.
All three are far. You will need your own car, public transport or a taxi to reach them comfortably. Check local routes and parking at the sights, as we have not verified them.
What guests say
Breakfast is a highlight. Guests describe a large buffet with fresh local ingredients and a good range of hot and cold dishes.
Staff are called friendly and smiling, with helpful advice and attentive service.
Beds are the weak point. Mattresses are often described as firm or narrow, although some guests find them comfortable. If you sleep badly on firm beds, ask about bed sizes and types when booking.
