I didnt really like the lack of security facilities (locked compartments to put valuables). If not the staff was friendly.

It was on the river and near a huge mall. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a little slim and did not start until 9 AM (until 12). The shower and toilet were fine and it was a good value for the money. I would definitely stay there again.

The hostel is situated in the block of old private houses in 10 min from the city center on foot. The interior and overall atmosphere can be described with name of the hostel. The price is very cheap, even DIY breakfast is included. The only thing that disappointed us was security. When we came back home at 2:00 am, we could easily enter the house and the rooms without any keys (hosts were sleeping). We even didn't receive keys from our rooms because hosts assure us that it's safe there.

Person in charge had me reserved on wrong day. Door lock broken key didn't work. Double room cost double for 1 person. Very unappealing jammed room with 2 single beds that moved apart. Worn out unappealing bed clothes. Noisy atmosphere. Avoid boking the double room right by check in desk and porch traffic. It was like living in someone's house run by an indifferent self absorbed friend of a friend. Great dog though.

It was a really friendly hostel with a helpful and nice staff. The location is really good, really close to the station, but it is in a small street so you might have some trouble finding it. However, if you go prepared and have a map with you, you will be able to find it! Overall, if I go back to Skopjie, I am probably staying there again.

very nice hostel, good breakfast, friendly staff, very cheap. And a top-location near the river and the bus station. Really easy to find if one reads the Google-Map carefully. One may have to queue up at shower, if its peak time in the morning.

You get what you pay for but I would recommend spending a bit more if you plan on visiting Skopje.

Very frendy, low-key hostel. Great location (5 mins from the bus/train stations and 10 min fromthe city centre). However, its in a quiet residential district, so can be a bit tricky to find (read: I got lost). From the bus/train station walk towards the river for a couple of mins . Just before the river you will see a fairly tall building; this is the Bank of Macedionia. Turn right into a narrow road. Continue past the car pak. At the end of the road the hostel is facing you to the right.

cool hostel, great location, and friendly and good speaking english stuff. Free breakfast, free all day coffee & tea and a free dinner. Definitely worth for money.

We were happy to find out that hostel is located 10min walking distance from the center, and it also had shopping center and money exchange service really near by. There is also a big free parking space next to the hostel. For just an extra euro, we had plenty of food, coffee, milk and tea every morning in the kitchen. Rooms were clean and well heated, and it was no problem to come in at any time of night. Shower and toilet are separated, and there is also a washing machine in the bathroom. There is a po
