Best Hotels in Ilinden

I stayed on business for several days and can only say positive things. As a Hilton member I was allowed an early check-in, I was upgraded to a nicer room and breakfast was included complimentary. The hotel looks a little dated from the outside, but inside it is excellent: modern, clean and very well kept. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The breakfast does not offer a huge variety, but it is more than adequate and everything is fresh and well presented. The restaurant also offers a lunch and dinner service with rather extensive menus. The gym is average size but all the equipment one might need is there and it is very well kept. There is also a fairly large pool that stays open until 10pm - a great feature. The hotel is located a 10-15 minute ride away from the center of town but there isn’t much of anything in the immediate vicinity. On the other hand it is quiet and relaxing, there isn’t any noise, so you can rest any time of day.

3+ star. Room for improvement. I was going to do 3 but felt it harsh. Let me explain. As per other reviews the hotel is often unmanned. Just as well there was WiFi as we were able to correct 2 issues by phone.(check in and power cut) We had booked a twin and got given a double. Given the lack of staff it seemed not worthwhile trying to sort this as well, but this may have made others uncomfortable. We were given no instructions for breakfast, luckily the lady in the morning was able to help and give breakfast coupons (lady was the cleaner?) So all of the above issues could have been solved by reception staff present or better communication. It's saved by being in an amazing location! Very central. And the breakfast (served at a store across the road) was good. (Although not well explained, you choose items from a menu in a healthy food cafe. Omelette or smoothie) We met Goran at the end. Seemed a really nice friendly guy. I think we would have had better experience had he been present. So rated generous 4/5 . But better communication could make it more positive. (I would stay again, as still provided good value)

Truly dreadful. I never complain about hotels but this place is a real piece of work. We paid for a superior room with Jacuzzi spa and when we checked in the bathroom floor was flooded. We told the staff who arranged for someone to come and clean up and all was well. Until we came back from a days exploring and tried to use the jacuzzi. Sewage water came up through the floor drains and flooded the bathroom. I told the lady at the front desk who was very nice and sent the manager up to our room to investigate. When Macedonian Basil Fawlty arrived, he proceeded to tell me that this is normal and that its not an issue. When I advised him that I didn't think wading through inches of sewage to use the loo was normal he accused us of causing the flooding ourselves and became rude to the point that I had to ask him to leave the room. I felt sorry for the poor girl on the front desk who clearly has to deal with the mans rudeness to guests on a regular basis. In addition the rooms are tired and in desperate need of some tlc. There was hole in our bed, led lighting peeling away from the wall (all of which I would probably have overlooked tbh)

We had a great stay at Aloha Apartments in late February going into March. We had a choice of rooms when we got there, so chose a bigger one on the ground floor by the pool, which was bright, and a nice view. Obviously as it was the end of winter we didn't use the pool or sit in the garden, but for sure in better weather it must be a pleasant place to relax in. The room was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of room. The shower room was great, and there was always hot water, and clean towels whenever we needed from the hallway area. There is the entrance to a well in the room, working, I assume. The top part of it has been made into a coffee table. It's probably the most unusual feature of any apartment we've ever stayed in. Elora and George, who run the apartments, were always very welcoming and helpful with organising very good excursions and supplying a decent local taxi service. The apartments are maybe a mile or so from the city centre along the Vardar river, in an old part of the city. It's easy in the Balkans to mistake old or traditional areas as run down, but it's not, and consequently you have to see past the immediate view to its unspectacular charm: you are staying in a historic area which is more authentically Skopje than the city centre, with all its statues and grand buildings. The apartments are well situated to walk into town, though we usually got a taxi back, a ten-minute trip which costs 100-200 denar - very cheap. I liked the local dogs in the neighbourhood, who came to investigate us each time we came out of the gate, keeping a friendly distance and always strangely quiet. We really enjoyed our stay at Aloha, and highly recommend it, winter or summer.

My stay in this Hotel was awesome! It definitely make a difference on my experience in Skopje overall. The view from their rooftop is definitely the best one in Skopje. Other than that staff was very friendly and professional. They were always available and willing to help. Their rooms are spacious, clean and tidy. The bed is comfortable and made me feel at home. If you want to have an amazing experience during your time in Skopje then Hotel Arka is the place to stay.

Dominating the Macedonia Square, this hotel is the best in Skopje. Stunning exterior, extremely elengant interior with Minotti furniture and Flos lighting items. I stayed there for 3 nights and everything went well: 1- The location is perfect! Right in the heart of Skopje. From there, you can walk to the Stone bridge, Mother Theresa house. Most of the museums are located within walking distance from the Marriott. 2- My room was amazing. Spacious and very clean. I think I booked the Deluxe room, but was upgraded to the Junior Suite or sthg. So in addition to the big bed, there was a seating area, and a balcony with a small dining table for coffee. Toilet was also spacious and water was perfect. 3- Spa: I only used the indoor pool, but I saw ppl waiting for their massages, and the place looked fancy. 4- Staff: literally everyone was amazing! Every single one of them, especially Sanja. She was very helpful, polite and friendly. 5- Prices were very fine, given that this is a 5-star hotel. You pay this amount for a 3 or 4 star-hotel in other European cities. I highly recommend this hotel for those wishing to visit Skopje.

Alexander ll otelden çok memnun kaldık havaalanı transferinden başlayarak resepsıyon ve tüm ekip çok guleryuzlu ve yardımcıydı odalar temiz kahvaltı çok güzeldi ve en önemlisi de heryere çok yakındı yürüyerek gıttık bundan sonra ki Üsküp seyahatlarımde Alexandre Iı oteli tercih edeceğim herkese de öneririm teşekkürler

I would definitely recommend this apartment as it has the best location. 5 minutes away from the bus terminal and walking distance to all the tourist attractions in the city. No amenities but we don’t need any need for it. It will be good if the bathrooms are kept a little cleaner especially in the shower .. the tiles needs a little hard cleaning .. and they do not provide drinking water unless upon request.

Absolutely lovely hotel especially the bathroom . Staff very pleasant and the food is pretty good . The A/C is a bit of a drawback , unless you turn it off it is set at 25 degrees . The hotel is quite enclosed so you cannot get a breeze into the room by opening the windows . The hotel itself is literally 3 mins walk to the main square which is very impressive .
