Holiday Inn Skopje

We came to Skopje for the England game. We had booked quite a few rooms - unfortunately this confused the check-in staff and we all ended up in rooms with our friend’s names. This wouldn’t have mattered but it was then a 1.5 hr marathon trying to get my points awarded for my room. Eventually a manager was called and he got it all sorted but it wasn’t really what you expect at the Holiday Inn. The rooms were nice, clean and adequate. However a couple of our rooms had no hot water on the first morning, maybe it’s more to do with the City than the hotel but it wasn’t very convenient. All in all it was a good place to stay and the location is fantastic for walking everywhere, including back from the stadium.

The hotel is renovated and situated in the center of Skopje conveniently nearby major institutions, old town or landmark areas. Big minus from my point of view is that smoking is still allowed in some parts of the hotel or there are smoking rooms. No specific amenities were available in the room (which is strange for a 5* hotel). The breakfast buffet is not clearly marked so you either guess what are the ingredients or you have to ask each time (e.g. pork, vegan, vegetarian, allergens etc). All in all, the hotel is ok if you have all above in mind.

Staff were so professional and helpful. Room is like new, everything is fresh and clean. Located next to river and shopping center. I gave it 4 out of five because of room size as it was not that specious, and bathroom as no teeth brush or other product provided.

Stayed just one night to use as a base whilst attending football. Hotel does look a bit drab on the outside but the inside is freah and modern and staff were pleasnt and welcoming. Rooms are standard Holiday Inn but were claen and fresh, shower worked well too. Beds perfectly comfortable with fresh clean linen. Hotwl is well situated along the river with plenty of bars etc. We didn't eat here and just used to local restaurants. Taxi's are plentiful outside for getting to airport etc but always make sure you agree the price beforehand as one or two drivers try to make to most out of the tourists. Would stay again,

Literally no Air Conditioner in hot sunny summer days/nights. They keep a minimum of 22 degree Celcius in the system and can not be adjusted. My first room was 28 degrees when I walked in and it took an hour to go to 27.5. They changed me to a room which was 25 degrees. The AC did not lower it overnight and during the day went up to 28-29. Unacceptable. Unpleasant, uncomfortable.

What I hope was chocolate was smeared on the curtains and found too many hairs that didn’t belong to me in the bathroom. Great location though

This hotel was priced higher that some others nearby. I chose this hotel because it was closest to the bus station yet Central. The reviews were not promising describing it as pretty old. I'd agree about the outside of the building but the inside felt fairly new. I'm a platinum member and this was well recognized. They gave me a room upgrade to their senior suite and also free breakfast which normally isn't provided to platinum members. The suite was very nice. A large living room plus separate bedroom and bathroom. For some reason the bathroom had two showers, a stall version and a bathtub version. Water pressure was good. They also provided me a plate with some smart desserts. I had a small view of the river area. The room was comfortable with a couch and table plus a desk. TV has smart features. Internet was fast. Breakfast was great with a wide variety of options. Unfortunately my first night had very low occupancy in the hotel so breakfast was by order only. This made it a little confusing since there was no list of all the items to choose from. Although I still got plenty to eat I thought that a lot of food was wasted since the portion sizes that I got were quite large and I also got a few extra items I didn't mean to order. The next day had a normal buffet setup. I don't know what the normal rooms are like but I'd 100% come back if I get upgraded to a suite again. With the upgrade, it's probably one of the top HI stays I've ever had.

I have stayed in this hotel for just one night.My room had a nice view and it was tidy.The conference room is quite spacious with a good acoustic..personally I liked the hotel lobby though it looks a bit outdated, it had a certain flavour to it. Must say the hotel staff was very helpful and some of the members even speak German very well
