    Super Plus for the Owner!

    There was bed bug issue during my stay and there was a few bed bugs. I informed the owner and they took immediate action to close the room and cleaned it. I won't blame this to the owner because most of the time, this is the issue of the guests. What matters most is, the owner did all they could to get this resolved. Well done!

    The owner is really nice and helpful. That's really the super plus point. They have quite a complete kitchen, which I like. The location is in between the city and train station. I informed them about some noisy and inconsiderate guest, and they offered me another quieter room. Thanks very much for going the extra mile for me!

    A nice and cozy place for a short stay. Better during the low season, I would say.

    This wasn't a problem for me in particular, but they don't take payments in card, only cash.

    The hostel is basically a shared apartment, with some shared rooms, a shared kitchen and a living room which accommodates around six people too. Simple, but effective for a small stay in Skopje, especially in the low season, when there are less people.

    one guest checked in very late at night and there was no staff there to help her so i had to get out of bed and show her to her room and answer her questions about the property and the area.

    the location was a comfortable walk to the city center. I enjoyed the balcony in the dorm.

    Dont expect hostel-ish vibe. It is a normal flat full of bunk beds.

    Flexible, clean and well equipped.

    No AC or fans: we slept with the windows open, the street is quite busy at night and noisy. The 6 bed dorm isn't a proper room but just 6 beds in the living/dining room: during my stay nobody used this room as a "common area", so I didn't have any problems with noise/privacy. I had some problems with finding the hostels: the owner is not there, you have to call him to get the access code to the apartment.

    The facilities are good and the wifi works great. The hostel is pretty clean. The owner has recently started with this activity: with some little changes the experience could be much better.

    The bed was not very comfortable, the matress was kinda with holes… didnt slept well and people left the door of the room open so I was woken up every morning around 8am… appart from that, its a very good place

    The location is excellent, you have access to the kitchen and living room, the staff keep everything clean, there is an AMAZING rooftop and free breakfast and coffee :) I enjoyed that a lot also I liked the curtains for privacy in the bed

    It’s impossible to find it on Google so really hard to find. Inside it is a simple old flat, which I appreciate, but with no decoration or anything, no common room besides the kitchen, all beds packed on a side of the dorm with little hope for privacy, few hooks for clothes or for the toilet. I got locked in the bathroom for some 10 minutes before finding a way to let the way too old key turn and be able to go out.

    The location is half way between the station and the center. The place was quite clean, and the owner was kind and ok in me arriving late. The place is a simple, old style apartment arranged as a hostel. Free coffee in the kitchen.

    It's just an apartment, and they have put as many bunk beds as possible in all rooms, including the living room. So you could sit at some tables and chairs in the living room, but 8 people in the bunkbeds are staring at you.

    The staff was really helpful. It is a new hostel, they had no opportunity to lock baggage, but they improvised and I got to keep my passport and PC semi-locked in a drawer with the towels.

    No reception, so comunicación is hard. The living room was turned into a bedroom, so there is not common spaces to sit and relax. The cleaning is once a day so nobody is taking care of the kids that are not cleaning their number 2 left overs in the toilet (people please the brush next to the toilet is to clean!)…

    For me it didn’t feel like a social hostel - there seems to be a communial room but hidden in a dormitory room. I was in a private room, so if you’re a solo traveller looking for more connections book a dorm.

    Friendly & helpful owner, location is good, comfortable bed, room & bathroom were basic but clean.

    There's no fan in the room so in the summer it could get quite hot

    It's near the city center, and it's about 15 minutes walk from the bus station. The living room is spacious. There's a cheap convenience store right next to the building. Wifi works great!
