Precisa modernización
Pros:

Ubicación, en el antiguo bazar y muy cercano al centro de la ciudad.

Cons:

Aunque las zonas comunes están remozadas y lucen bien, no se puede decir lo mismo de las habitaciones y baños que son viejos y no se corresponden con un hotel moderno.

Pros:

A szállás központi helyen van, sétatávra minden látnivalótól. Választékos reggeli, kedves személyzet, a medence kimondottan jól jött a hőségben hűsöléskor.

Cons:

Csak nagy párna volt az ágyban, ezen mi sajnos nem tudtunk aludni. A hajnali imádkozásra mindig felébredtem, utazótársam viszont egyszer sem hallotta.

Meet expectations mostly, nothing more!
Pros:

The upgrade to a large room and I extended my staying with 3 nights. they offered me the big room for the price of the small one.

Cons:

First night there were bedbugs in my bed and same night I changed to a different room. The next day the hotel manager offered me the largest room (according to them) for the price of a small room as a compensation. I was not happy with the bedbugs but I do really appreciate all their efforts to make the rest of my staying super comfortable.. During the check out it was little disappointing that they charged me 4 EUR for missing the key card

A good, well-placed hotel for exploring Skopje.
Pros:

Negotiating the car park can be a little difficult, but you can double park and hand the car keys to reception and they will sort the parking for you. Once inside, the hotel has a quality feel. Our room was well furnished and very clean. One novelty was the glass wall between the bedroom and bathroom - the toilet has a proper door! One thing we didn’t like was the bath with a shower spray on a flexible hose - no shower screen so water gets sprayed everywhere. Also there were no grab handles on the bath, which was particularly slippery.
We loved the pool, which was indoors - perfect when the sun is so intense. Breakfast had hot and cold options and was decent quality.
All the staff we met were very cheerful and helpful.
Location was very good for the old bazaar since the hotel is next to it.

Pros:

Паркінгу немає!!! Хоча при бронюванні паркінг був активним. На запитання на рецепції де паркуватися відповідь була - де хочете там паркуйтесь!!! Персонал рецепції максимально непривітний!!!! Сам готель досить непоганий але персонал рецепції анулював всі плюси!!!
