Hotel Arka

Very good location to old Turkish town( where is the most fun occurs) clean and nice rooms. Breakfast is just ok can be improved Can definitely stay next time

酒店邊上有個老街出去走走挺方便，周邊吃的不少，房間還行，夠大，裝修一般，早餐不是很豐富，餐廳在7樓，可以看到馬其頓的全景

My impression is that Skopje doesn't have a wealth of good lodging, so this may be among the best, especially if you want to stay in the Old Bazaar neighborhood. It's far from perfect, though, and as others have noted its pretensions to be a five-star property are laughable:  Room: This was the best aspect of our stay. We picked a Club Room and it was spacious and fairly attractive, and the bed was large and comfortable. There were quirks, however, including a shower that leaked water onto the floor and only a couple of electrical outlets.  Staff: Folks, if you claim five-star status, your staff should be gracious and friendly. This was not the case here. Staff interactions ranged from indifferent to polite, but we were never asked if we needed anything, whether we enjoyed our stay, etc. At checkout we were treated to a deeply inappropriate harangue by the desk attendant about which ethic groups he considered the worst customers. Location/grounds: The location is perfect for easy access to the Old Bazaar neighborhood and countless restaurants. The view from our second floor room was a bit dismal, but the seventh floor rooftop bar afforded a pretty panorama at night. A couple of general features we found galling: First, the pool, which is tiny, has no changing area, and is located immediately next to the dining area, is only open from June-August. Second, when we asked why our air conditioning didn't work we were told that it hadn't been turned on yet for the entire hotel, even though it was 86 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Even though we were able to stay fairly comfortable by keeping our windows open, and had no desire to parade through the dining area in our bathing suits, this kind of corner cutting is not the hallmark of a superior hotel.  Food: The breakfast (included) was impressive in its range and decent in its quality. There is no hotel restaurant, but there are plenty of nice options within a few minutes of the property.  Overall, I would consider this a reasonable but unexceptional option, and not very good value for the money.

Great room. Outstanding breakfast at the topfloor with great view. Service is excellent. Bar on the roof for cocktails or wine. Pet friendly. Car parking in front of the hotel with camera controle. A minor point: A lot of garbage in the area around the hotel. The lift shaft should be finished, now you're looking at the vanilla concrete as it was placed when it was build. It's of no use to have a glass sided elevator like this. Remember, don't visit during Ramadan. The mosk is yelling several times a day, not very peaceful.

En bordure du bazar, bien pratique, mais un peu bruyant.
