Hotel Square Macedonia

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and encountered 6 cockroaches during my stay (see photos 1–6 and video 1). It was clear there was a serious infestation. There’s no receptionist, so I had no way to report the issue while I was there. After leaving a Google review, someone from the hotel contacted me (photo 8 - Redacted to comply with trip advisor policy). They initially offered a refund, but after a week without payment, I told them I would reupload the photos. That’s when the situation escalated — they sent me threatening and abusive messages, including personal and violent threats (picture 8. Redacted to comply with trip advisor policy). Additionally, the shower basin had an uninviting stain (photo 7), which added to the poor hygiene. To be fair, the hotel is well located right in the city centre, with an amazing view over Macedonian Square. The room itself was what you'd expect for the price — but none of that excuses the infestation or the threatening behaviour I experienced. In short: Cockroach infestation, no receptionist, refund offered but never paid, followed by threats and abuse. I strongly advise others to avoid this hotel.

First if all this is not even a hotel, it’s more like a hostel. The place is terrible and very dirty. The owner is a very arrogant man and the receptionists don’t know their job, they are totally lost. Avoid this place at all cost! There are so many better cheap places to stay around the area.

Location/Value Excellent location -right on the Square, can walk to tourist sites. View of square from open lounge in hotel on the 6 th floor. Well done video on how to find from square. Taxi can take you to the door, not same for hotels in the Bazaar. Elevator to 5 th fl, then some very wise stairs to the 6 th fl. Quiet building, elevator always available, strong wifi . Nice Staff, accommodating, Hot water all the time. windows can open - no screen. Have AC, did not use. Full breakfast with choices if included in Restaurant below.

Great value budget hotel close to Macedonia Square and The Stone Bridge, so ten minutes walk and you're in the bustling heart of the Carsai, the Old Bazaar, with it's bars and restaurants. Rooms and Reception located on the 6th floor. Excellent service. We were delayed by a plane cancellation but Darko sorted us out with a very professional taxi driver despite our late arrival. Also sorted out our queries about public transport. Great value. Yes, rooms need a little TLC but you get what you pay for and the location is superb. Would stay here again.

Comfortable bed and very good location in the center.

There was no real bathroom, just a WC with a shower tube and lavabo.

OK not stylish but very helpful staff who reply to emails and are efficient.Rooms fine, hot shower, cool a/c comfortable enough bed and clean Decor faded and yes, not a room to love but a brilliant choice if on a budget or wanting a central location. If you want both look no further. Top floor location in a block next to the Hotel London, yes a little hard to find without help.

Once found, which will not be swiftly, this hotel welcomes you with a long, well AC-ed hallway that also doubles as its reception/lobby. It's a cozy arrangement in a shabby setting. I spent the first half of the night rueing the insane amount of streetlight let into the room from what I thought was a lack of blinds, and the second half rueing my stupidity in discovering that there actually were blinds but I couldn't figure out how to close them. The nice night clerk quickly amended the situation for me though. Obviously the location is the showstopper for them. The staff is sterling too. The rooms however need updating like a bald man needs a cap in the scorching Macedonian summer sun. Take it from me. Saw some shiny crimson pates out there on the walking tours. I also could have done without the Chinese torture drip of the leaky air conditioner throughout the night. But again, the rooms need some work.

This place is incredibly cheap so don’t want to be too critical. It is ridiculously hard to find though. They could do with putting a few notes on Booking.com to say it’s near the casino etc. The rooms are basic but comfortable. Shower was terrible. Great views of the square, very helpful staff. Good place to stay if on a budget. Unless Poland are in town for the football and banging on your room door at 3 in the morning

The most amazing location looking over the main area of Skopje. Look out of your window and you see the large statue. The hosts are also very sweet and very accommodating. Felt very homely. Rooms were large with air conditioning and people friendly and was a pleasure to stay there at such an amazing price as well!!
