Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Service can lag behind other aspects — The service rating is the lowest among the categories, suggesting that while staff are praised, there may be inconsistencies.
  • Not directly on the slopes — The Polana Szymoszkowa Ski Resort is about a 25-minute walk away, so you'll need transport or a longer walk to get there.
  • Value rating is relatively lower — While guests mention good value, the Value score is the second-lowest category, indicating it may not be exceptional for everyone.
  • Some rooms lack balconies — The Deluxe Family Double Room doesn't list a balcony, so if you want an outdoor space, you'll need to choose another room type.
