Barely 3 stars hotel
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The hotel is barely 3 stars, online pictures are misleading, very poor maintained facility, ok breakfast but very low quality buffet dinner. We had a big apartment, dirty carpet and an unusable old Jacuzzi with no standing shower. Towels were old and coarse.
Staff were rude and not helpful.
Based on our experience, we ended up canceling our stay in Tirana in the same brand hotel.

obiekt godny polecenia.

Śniadanie bardzo dobre. Restauracja świetnie zlokalizowana na najwyższym piętrze obiektu gdzie widać panoramę miasta.
Hotel znajduje się obok Starego Bazaru. Znakomite miejsce do zwiedzania miasta.

Cons:

Nie ma nic do poprawy. Wszystko ok.

Pros:

Very pleasant and clean hotel and staff were very helpful. Ideal location right in the centre of Skopje.

Cons:

The main problem was the shower. It did not drain and the floor became very wet. We had to use towels each day to mop it up.

Pros:

Top Lage am Rande des alten Bazars. Die Dachterrasse mit dem Blick über Skopje ist sensationell. Man kann alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichen und das eigene Auto entspannt am Hotel lassen.
Sehr freundlicher und entspannter Empfang. Tolles Frühstück in der oberen Etage, sodass man gerne etwas länger sitzen bleiben möchte. Wir werden auf jeden Fall bei unserem nächsten Aufenthalt wieder dieses Hotel wählen.

Gutes Hotel in Furchtbarer Lage
Pros:

Pro: Schönes Hotel mit Dachterrasse und Ausblick über die gesamte Stadt. Zimmer sehr geräumig, Personal super nett, Lage direkt an der Altstadt mit ihrem Basar

Cons:

Die Lage im muslimischen Viertel hat zur Folge dass man morgens um 5 von den Muezzin der 8 Moscheen im Umkreis geweckt wird. Somit ist Schlaf ab 5Uhr quasi unmöglich. Überall stehen im Hotel Raumduft-Geräte die ganz schön widerlich sein können. Das Frühstück ist sehr spartanisch und bietet wenig Auswahl

Pros:

A lovely hotel with a wonderful bar on the seventh floor (on the rooftop). There is also a restaurant there, where breakfast is served. The staff were very friendly and calm. Our room for three people was very spacious and offered a good view. It was close to the city center, and the bazaar was even closer. The parking area was small and narrow... but we managed to get a spot.

Cons:
