Editor's review
Kalatowki is one of the more upmarket mountain hostels, so you won't get the hearty 'bed-down-on-the-floor' vibe that you'll find in the cheaper 'schroniskos'. However, it's still great value and it's got added benefits of all the creature comforts that you could ask for, including an extensive restaurant, a fitness centre and a sauna to unwind in. The cheapest option is a 5 man dorm with washbasin for 10 euros per person (high season and including breakfast) whilst a double-room with bathroom will cost you 38 Euros all inclusive. The historic inter-war building is inaccessible by car, but in Summer you can makew it up the valley from Kuznice by mountain-bike.

I have stayed here several times and it really is a special place. It's difficult to describe - perhaps 'family hotel' comes closest. We've met and made many good friends here over the years. Great in all seasons, even in winter if you are a non-skier like me - there are exceptional walks all around, and even if you just want to curl up with a book, there are cosy chairs to do that. Relaxed, warm, and generally helpful staff too.
A place of great character. Ideal if you can get a group of friends and family together for a few days. Nothing fancy, just simple and clean accommodation in a fantastic location. Ski-ing and hiking right on your doorstep, and a pleasant (though quite long) walk to the edge of Zakopane town if you want to go out for a meal or a drink. Delightful.
