Hotel Redyk Ski&relax

If you want to experience the mountains and you don't fancy staying in Zakopane which is crowded and busy and almost city-like, then Hotel Redyk in Zab is great. It is only 10 km from Zakopane anyway and it is in a tranquil area in a tiny village above Zakopane. The hotel seems to have been recently re-furbished and everything is in good order. The restaurant has quite a good menu, the staff are helpful and friendly, and the view from the restaurant and some of the rooms is simply great. If you're hooked on news even when on holiday, bbc World is available on tv, and free Internet access in the lobby is very useful.

Just that tea-making facilities were available in the room, but no coffee, milk or tea were provided.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, nice views on the mountains. Just beside a ski slope, must be nice during the winter time. Quite close to Zakopane (10 min by car).

We were there with our 7mth old child and frankly speaking there isn't much possibility of walking in the surrounding with a child. The hotel is located on a main road to Zakopane (precisely to Poronin) on which cars drive quite fast and there is no walking path... We went there to avoid the crowded Zakopane but finally ended at Zakopane by car...
