Nice location, nice hotel, horrible staff Avoid it
Hotel is well located but i never see so rude staff in all balkans. The staff never say hello at reception, try to invent silly excuse, try to scam with taxis….i would be really interested to talk with general manager about my stay there. After this stay we stayed in Double Tree by hilton in Skopje and experience was totally different. Its really pity because this hotel could be nice and so on but just need change this lazy staff

And the hotel looks very clean and comfortable! But in the rooms, there is a terrible smell coming from the bathroom! Very stinky, like at a sewage treatment plant !!! the Wi-Fi on the room is very bad! There is a connection, but it’s not stable! Breakfast is small, basic, but good! The view at the rooftop is amazing and also the area where the hotel is located! The only disadvantage is, that many mosques are around! He will hear their singing voices very loud and very often!

The front desk was excellent and very kind but the hotel requires guests to put a sign on the door if they want but clean. If it's not there, the room will not be clean. The room safe didn't work. Ordering a taxi was super complicated and took an hour every time.

Eccentric with both plusses and minuses -a one off
One has to judge things through the lense of Macedonia where in general hotels can be a bit eccentric. but this one is more eccentric than most. Positives are superb location right next to the old town, and huge rooms with great views and the awesome roof bar/terrace. Downsides are fading 80s style and no way this can be described as a 5 star service. Having said that most of the staff were friendly (mention to the good staff at the bar). Nice breakfast. Probably the worst thing was over soft mattresses (not good by today's standards) and the greenhouse effect of so much glass when the aircon was centrally turned off. So rooms were pretty warm. Open the windows and its noisy. Plus we were told no kettle or iron for "security reasons". Really this isnt 5 star service. But hey, overall go for the experience!

Ystävällinen palvelu ja loistosijainti
Vastaanoton henkilökunta oli poikkeuksellisen palvelualtis, kaikki toimi nopeasti ja ystävällisesti. Hotellin sijainti basaarialueen tuntumassa oli näppärä - kaikki palvelut ja nähtävyydet oli kävelymatkan päässä. Aamupala oli monipuolinen ja maukas. Huoneemme (juniorsviitti) oli tilava ja mukava. Ainoa huono puoli oli haju - vessan viemärit haisivat huoneessa koko vierailumme ajan.

Hvis du elsker moskeer, så er dette stedet
Hotellet ligger i et kvarter med masser moskeer. Der kommer massiv larm fra disse på alle tider af døgnet, fx når der kl. 4 om natten kaldes til bøn! Ganske vist ligger hotellet lige ved Old Town, men også meget tæt på et trøstesløst, nedslidt og fattigt kvarter. Skopje er en af de grimmeste byer, jeg har besøgt i verden - kun Bukarest og Chisinau er grimmere! Vores fejl var, at vi tilbragte 3 døgn i byen, inden vi tog ud i de (smukke) bjerge og senere til den flotte Ohrid Sø. Mit råd til andre rejsende er, at man kun tilbringer 1 døgn i Skopje og i stedet udforsker naturen i Nordmakedonien.
