About

Ballada 2

Ballada 2 is a small, 7-room property on Chramcowki 12A in Zakopane, set back from the busiest streets. Guests consistently describe it as quiet and peaceful despite being close to the centre, which makes it a practical base for exploring the town and the surrounding mountains.

The hotel keeps things simple but thorough: each room has heating, tea and coffee facilities, a flat-screen TV, and either a balcony or garden view. Apartments add a full kitchen with a washing machine and dishwasher. Free private parking, ski storage, and a garden with BBQ facilities round out the offering.

The owner is frequently praised for being friendly and helpful, accommodating late arrivals and longer stays. With a convenience store and bakery on the way from the station, and several restaurants within a few minutes' walk, everyday needs are easily covered.

  • Check-in ends at 23:30 — If you're arriving very late, you'll need to arrange it with the owner in advance, as the listed window stops at 23:30.
