Skopje Hotels

Hotel entrance is located next to a rather busy bus stop and there is some construction going on on the side street. Check in for the hotel is on the FIFTH floor…on the bottom floor there is what appears to be a check in counter but it is not active. The rooms in this hotel are some of the largest I saw in the Balkans with a nice homely feel you do not get in many hotels. Huge bed, large wooden desk, two leather chairs, large bathroom with walk in shower. Internet speed was good. I missed breakfast but the restaurant area looked inviting. Again, when I first arrived my initiation opinion was a little bit of a worry but the hotel ended up being a great place to stay in Skopje.

Moved from Hotel Ani, to the Vila Ani. There was a problem with the room, at the original hotel, but all was ok in the end..

Location was pretty decent, not as far out from the centre as I thought it was going to be - easily walkable to main sights. Bus station is walkable, altho' a little far in heat and with luggage. Room was very nice aesthetically and comfortable, altho' there was a bit of a lack of attention to detail in terms of cleaning it after the previous guests. There were used cotton wool buds in one of the drawers, which was an unpleasant discovery. Bathroom/shower was quite decent, nice. I quite liked the glass sink. The shower was stylish looking, but hand held shower head only, which is a bit tedious. Hairdryer provided. No fridge, no aircon. Room was a bit cramped, and the wardrobe was so shallow in depth that it didn't have a rail, but two coat hooks on the back wall for a couple of coat hangers (it wasn't deep enough to take a coat hanger if there had been a rail). Found this odd. Wifi was absolutely hopeless. They only have routers on reception, the first two floors and the top floor for breakfast. So if you're on floor 3... don't expect to be able to connect for more than a few seconds at a time, if you're lucky. I don't understand why they don't have routers on each floor. Lack of attention to detail again perhaps. Staff were pleasant and professional, and spoke English. Breakfast buffet was very, very extensive. I imagine they must have a lot of wasted food though, there was just so much (and lots of it seemed more like desserts).

Hotel Hamburg is a new hotel and is in a central location to the city of Skopje. I stayed there with my family for two nights and found it one of the best hotels I have stayed in through our travels in Europe.

The location is excellent, like staying on the top floor of Meadow Hall. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The only downside was loud music (from the nearby main square) up to midnight or 1am. This only happened on Friday and Saturday nights. The World Cup was on, this might have affected it.

Great stay. Fantastic Breakfast. Great Staff. Clean, comfortable room. No complaints.
