Pros:

Beautiful hotel in old town. Standard rooms and exquisite breakfast options. The views from the top are stunning.

Cons:

Parking is a bit tight but the staff was kind enough to move the car once there was more space.

Personale gentilissimo e posizione ottima
Pros:

Hotel accogliente e personale gentilissimo. La reception è aperta h24, comodissimo per chi come noi è arrivato molto molto tardi la notte. Ottima la colazione e purtroppo non siamo riusciti ad usufruire della piscina.

Cons:

Niente in particolare...a voler essere pignoli...il telecomando per le luci in camera andrebbe rimodernato.

Pros:

Overall, a good hotel with an excellent location, right next to the Old Bazaar. The room was spacious and very comfortable, and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast offered a good variety of options.

The interior design feels a little dated, with a somewhat 1990s style, but everything is well maintained and there is really nothing to complain about.

A nice bonus is the outdoor swimming pool with a great view over the city. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay, especially if you want to be close to the Old Bazaar.

Cons:

One thing worth keeping in mind is the location itself. Being right by the Old Bazaar means you are surrounded by numerous mosques, and the call to prayer can be clearly heard, including early in the morning, around 5 a.m., as well as during the day. For some, this adds to the atmosphere and authentic character of the area; for light sleepers, however, it may be a little disruptive.

Pros:

Fantastic location in the heart of Old Bazaar, extremely rich and tasty breakfast with stunning view, huge room with good AC and practical bathroom, kind staff.

Cons:

The swimming pool could be opened till later hours (closing at 6.30PM is quite early especially during summer), the parking lot and road to the hotel is a little bit scruffy.

Nagyon jó lokalizáció, autentikus, nem steril élmény.
Pros:

Régi bazár közepén helyezkedik el, nagyon közel, sétatávolságra minden látványosságtól. Reggeli finom volt, személyzet készséges.

Cons:

Medence korán bezárt-18.30-kor. Szobákban világítás kicsit furcsa volt, olvasólámpa nem volt.

Pros:

Motoros túrán egy éjszakai megállónak álltam meg. Parkolás motorral a hotel előtti őrzött parkolóban nagyon egyszerű volt. A hotel elhelyezkedése kiváló, közvetlenül az Old Bazaar szomszédságában található, de kellemes sétával a városközpont is elérhető gyalogosan a bazáron keresztül. A kilátás a városra, a bazárra, a mecsetekre, a távoli hegyekre lenyűgöző volt. Egy nagyon igényes szálloda, szuper reggelivel, wellness részleggel, nagyon-nagyon jó áron. A tető terasz és a reggeliző helységből fantasztikus a panoráma a belvárosra. Rooftop bár és panorámás medence. Abszolút top szállás Szkopjéban.

Amazing location
Pros:

You get what you pay for. Don't expect anything more than 90s style luxury but done extremely right, with very clean rooms, nice staff and amazing views from the rooftop terrace.

Cons:

I wish the pool had more friendly opening hours, this way it was pretty much impossible to visit it during a one night stay.
