If you need assistance you can wait there, or you can call hotel Academia (052-4467464, 4467465, 4467466).
You can use taxi service as well. There are usually several cabs waiting at the Poprad-Tatry railway station, or you can call phone number 772 2622. The trip duration to hotel Academia is 10-15 minutes, price about 300 Sk (depending on the company, some can ask for up to 500 Sk).
