I work as a manager in a travel agency.
- Interested person - tell me.
But, for 10 years now, my family and I have been celebrating Christmas in Zakopane. This despite the fact that we were in the ski resorts of Slovakia, Austria, Finland and of course in our native Carpathians. Yes, and in Poland, I was still in Szczyrk and Krinitsy. I won’t say that it’s bad there - of course, the service and descents of Austria cannot be compared with Zakopane. But the cost of a trip with the whole family for 7 days is not an unimportant thing for the budget of an average family. Through numerous trials, we came to the conclusion that Zakopane is the best that can be invented for us.
We lived in different hotels. In private boarding houses.

But for the last 2 years (and this year we also plan to) we have been staying at the KOLEJARZ hotel. There are better hotels. But the price and quality are commensurate here. Hotel after renovation. The furniture is good. Normal bathrooms, there is always hot water. Neat, clean. Good bedding.
But the most important thing for me as a mother is excellent nutrition. Breakfast - buffet. The choice is normal, everything is very tasty. There are slices of various ham and cheese, salads, pickles, eggs, from hot - they constantly change either some sausages, or pancakes, or scrambled eggs, there is hot milk with dry breakfasts. For tea, cocoa or coffee there are pastries, jam. (I even make sandwiches for my child and take them with me as a second breakfast). In the evening, at 5-6 o'clock, when we return from the mountains tired and hungry, we will have a late lunch. There are huge portions on the table - we don't eat them. The first thing is always delicious in a saucepan (you can pour at least two plates). And the second course is always with a large piece of meat, salads, side dishes. And of course for the third baking. The cook in this hotel cooks VERY TASTY!!! ! When we lived in hotels for breakfast, much more money was spent on food. And so we only in the evening in a kalybka order something tasty, or sweet.
And one more advantage of the hotel: in the evening, when we have a rest, the whole family goes for a walk together. 7 minutes (we spotted) - and we are in the center on Krupovki. Every evening - a new program - either a water park (5 minutes before it), or a trip to the shops and the market. We ride the rides. Husband and child love the shooting gallery - we constantly come home with a bunch of soft toys - they know us by sight in the shooting gallery. At Christmas we go to the forest on a sleigh with torches, go skating, well, you can’t list everything. We are attracted to Zakopane precisely because it is not a banal 20 hotels near the ski lifts and 5-6 kalybs like in Slovakia, but a town with a lot of entertainment.
The hotel is well located for skiing. Of course, you won’t reach the slides (although a small descent with a yoke for beginners is across the road). But near Kolyazh there is a bus station, and all transport and minibuses on the hills are here. Left the hotel - put the skis in the minibus, sat down and went where necessary. We have been riding for a long time, not extreme sportsmen, but we love difficult tracks. My 7 year old is already in his 3rd year of skiing, she needs medium pistes. In Zakopane, in six days of skiing, we manage to ride almost all ski resorts. So as not to become boring and there was a variety. Therefore, it makes no sense to take a hotel under any one mountain - what if you don’t like these particular slopes?

And I recommend Kolyazh!!! ! And I'm going there myself this year!
