Very nice and big room with a bathroom. There is also a nice outdoor area in the garden. Everything was great and staff was very helpful. Location is great, walking distance to the main bus station and the city centre.
The bed was good but bed linen was quite small for the beds, couldn't cover both of us completely and fitted sheet was impossible to keep "fitted". Made it difficult to sleep, it wasn't comfortable.

It is near the city center. Room is spacious and clean.
Upon the arrival we met a lady who said is the mother of the owner. She was confused and lost in space and did not know to tell us answers on most of questions we had. We could not pay by card. It seemed that the hostel is full of some suspicious men who seemed like immigrants. The day we were leaving there was no one on the reception so I had to call the owner on his mobile phone to come so I could pay. Waste of time and energy for basic things.

The owner is a nice guy who helps with everything. At the first night there was a party taking place.
I moved rooms because I extended the stay. The room I moved into was next to reception and community room so very loud.

The location right near the main square gives you easy access to many bars, restaurants, coffee shops etc.
It was out of the owners control however there is unfortunately a building site opposite which can be loud at times but that still doesn't take away from how good the hostel is!

Best service ever! Pick-up waited at the airport for one hour delay of the flight, incredibly friendly and everything was organisated very well! Nice rooms and everything was very clean! Skopje Downtown is only ten minutes by feet.
8.0 / 10.0
Nice small private room with a shower very well located (in walking distance of the bus station and downtown but without the constant traffic noise. The room was clean, check-in was easy and the TV had some international channels.
Unfortunately, there is only one Wi-Fi connection for the whole hostel, and the signal is very weak when laying in bed. This probably could be solved with simple Wi-Fi extenders.
The bed is a bit squeaky and for some reason, the shower water was never truly hot.
Would still recommend or stay again, especially if the Wi-Fi situation gets fixed.

1. Kettle is extremely dirty. Never cleaned. (As pictured)
2. Location is sketchy. Bad. Far away from bus station and square. I have to walk a lot. Super dark at night. Few people walking around. I don't feel safe.
3. Blanket is very very thin. I don't think the owner wants to sleep under that blanket.(I had to use 6 of them in January).
4. Bathroom is extremely cold. The entire house is very cold. Just like a haunted house.
5. Beds are not comfortable.
6. Window Curtain is very bad quality, it can't block the street light. The room is super bright.
7. No elevator, stairs are steep.
8. No keys if you stay in a dorm. Every one enter your room.
9. No hostel atmosphere. Very cold.
10.The information on the reception is false. Bus #25 and #60 timetable is wrong, bus fare is wrong, skopje card price is wrong. He never updated. (I realized the truth when I go to the local bus station. I'm speechless. It proves that he doesn't care about his guest.)
11. Value: I feel it is super expensive for the value he offer. A waste of money.
12. Don't trust those good reviews. Don't trust his reply to my review. He lied to me.
I was here in January, when Skopje is already cold, the room was not heated, it was very cold. This is not acceptable.
Entire house is cold.
AC was super dirty. A lot of dust, spider web above.( As pictured ) I guess he never clean the filter. I have sore throat next morning......
AC is fake. I was in 8 people dorm, I don't even have a remote control. He told me I can turn on the AC by myself. I did, warm air coming out. After dinner, I go back to my room, no warm air anymore. Only cold air coming, I know he changed the mode of AC secretly. I saw it, to be honest. (when he enter the private space behind the reception) I know, because I only pay 6 Euro, so I am not deserve to have heater AC in my room. I know he wants to save electricity.
Kiril, do you still have conscience?
We are human. It's snow outside.
I text him, I told him I'm willing to pay more to change to a private room. I pay 17-6=11 Euro to him. I have my remote control now.
I set it to 27 degrees, I know it's fake. Warm air is not real. I still feel very cold. I wear socks, sweater, jackets, hat to sleep.
There was nobody on reception when I arrived so i had to call him. I have to wait. In the evening and the morning nobody again. Nobody in the reception 24hr. Not safe. No one is there. Anyone can come to the hostel if they knew the code.
He got my money, leave immediately. I feel he is a business man. I'm ATM.
Lots to improve, Kiril.

The location is perfect.
The hostel is pretty basic. Looks empty. Would not recommend for stay longer than 2 days. When I arrived at the property I had to call the administrator by phone and wait for ~15 minutes. He said he does not spend time at the hostel all the time. Squeaky parquet, thin blankets (I had to use 3 of them in November).
10.0 / 10.0
The host was so flexible, I made a mistake with the booking but he let me fix it no questions asked.
The location is perfect, between the bus station and the center, walking distanve from everything.
There is a small garden where you can eat, drink,...
Room in basement.
9.0 / 10.0
Good location to stay in Skopje: walk to the main square approx. 10-15 minutes and parking space available nearby the hostel. The 4-bed shared room was comfortable: spacious with lockers and a balcony. The shared bathroom was proper (including good shower). WiFi worked well. In short: good value for money!
One bathroom (i.e. shower and toilet combined) for several rooms (don’t know how many beds in total) worked ok in the quiet days I was staying there, but that may be different when the hostel is (more) fully booked
10.0 / 10.0
A great place for a one-night stay in Skopje. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful: came to let us in at late night; suggested a good place for parking our car.
The room was clean and in good condition, as well as the kitchen and bathroom.
The property is located in the walking distance from the city center.
Our room was located in the basement (right in front of the reception), and while it's very quiet at night, it becomes noisy in the morning because of cars and people passing by, it was fine for us because we woke up and went for a walk, but if you plan to spend your daytime there it might be a bit uncomfortable.
