Backpacking / gap year

25 March 2011 WEI YIN would recommend this property

Liked: The staff is very helpful and informative. He gave valuable information about places to visit, bus ticket price and even helped me to book a taxi to Thessaloniki. I like the 24hr reception because I arrived close to midnight. The free morning breakfast is good too. The room is warm even during winter.

Disliked: It is about 10-15min walk from the bus station but it is not too bad if you have light luggage. It is still reasonable close to centre of attraction by foot.

Liked: Owner is fantastic, very knowledgeable and helpful about things to do in and around Skopje and Macedonia. Location is great, walking distance to most things, and taxis are very cheap anyway.

Disliked: No locks from outside, but the area seems very safe. Lockers are in the stairwell for valuable items though.

Liked: Good value, good location near the train/bus stations AND city center, staff was nice and very helpful.

Disliked: Really quite impossible to find. If you're coming from the train/bus station, just follow the signs for Art Hostel all the way. City Hostel is like 4 houses down from Art Hostel.

21 September 2010 michael would recommend this property

Liked: This is a top rate hostel. What makes it that way is the inn owners effort to make you not only accommodated, but his wishes to help you enjoy Skopje and Macedonia as well. He went the extra distance to ensure one was taken care of.

Disliked: Breakfast could have been alittle better. The bread was stale and a little cheese or meat may have compensated for the bread. Otherwise, eatable.

Liked: The hostel staff is friendly. We booked for the wrong date but haphazardly there was a room available in the neighbour's house. The staff helps you also to call cheap taxi's. The terrace in the garden is great.

Disliked: The hostel is a little bit out of location.

31 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Owner very helpful. Great free breakfast and internet. Comfy bed and very comfy pillow so I had a great night sleep. Great shower pressure but you have to hold the showerhead as with most Eastern European hostels. Hostel is clean but an older building so much different to other Eastern European hostels on offer for a siilar price. Having said that I think it is the best you will get in Skopje.

Disliked: Nothing
