Hotel Arka

Modern and fancy hotel in nice and walkable area. Beautiful rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the city. Within a short walk from all the main attractions in town (max 10min by foot)

That rooftop bar! Great, spacious room. Fantastic buffet breakfast offered every morning. Staff go above and beyond to assist. Parking can be a little tough, but was doable. The Bazaar only seconds away.

Heel goed. Soms konden ze op een vraag niet direct antwoorden. Dan zouden ze het opzoeken en in de kortste tijd hadden we een antwoord. Bv de guided walking tour in Skopje. Top De excursie naar Prestina in Kosovo.Top Het ontbijt was ook heel lekker en we hebben genoten van de lekkere wijn op de Rooftop. Zalig ! Dankjewel

Good hotel next to old town. One of our rooms didn't had working lights at bathroom but it was changed quickly for nearby room. Rooms are specious and comfortable. The view from the roof is superb. Breakfast was pretty good. There is free parking in front of the hotel. If it's full then you can just leave your car keys at reception and they would move it if needed.

No electric kettle in the room and poor gym equipment , partially not working

Poolen på hotellet var stängd. Eftersom det var anledningen till att vi valt just detta hotell blev vi förstås lite besvikna. Annars helt okej.

Apart from the hotel being in a good location it was a disappointing stay. Upon arriving at our hotel driving through the entry gate did not give off a 5 star impression. Reception staff were poor with the exception of 1 member of staff who helped us with our tv. We had asked 3 times prior without any assistance. Pool was out of order, one of the main reasons we chose this hotel. The curtains in the room let in so much light, we were awake just after 4am, as people who work in agriculture we were looking forward to a sleep in on holiday as every other day of the week we are up early. Breakfast was good

Room was comfortable. Staff were helpful and professional. Great location with easy access from road and walk into the bazaar, store, restaurants, downtown squares, etc. Love the outdoor rooftop bar with a great view of the city.

Super beliggenhet og frokostsal med fantastisk utsikt. Ellers litt slitt, men store rom. Bassenget var lite og dessuten sesongstengt! Hva er da vitsen med innenførsbasseng? Treningsrommet var også ikke mye å skryte av. Vi hadde juniorsuite, stort rom med panoramavinduer. Bra!

Great hotel, in a great location. The city is very walkable and this provided an excellent base for a short visit. Great view to contemplate whilst eating breakfast.

We had a clean, spacious, and bright room. The breakfast was delicious. The entrance may be a bit confusing at first, as you drive through an archway, but it is easy to go thorough. The location is good, just steps from the Old Bazaar and within walking distance of Skopje’s main monuments. The hotel is a great choice for both comfort and convenience.

And the hotel looks very clean and comfortable! But in the rooms, there is a terrible smell coming from the bathroom! Very stinky, like at a sewage treatment plant !!! the Wi-Fi on the room is very bad! There is a connection, but it’s not stable! Breakfast is small, basic, but good! The view at the rooftop is amazing and also the area where the hotel is located! The only disadvantage is, that many mosques are around! He will hear their singing voices very loud and very often!

Zimmer wurde nich gereinigt.

Hotel sauber modern tolle Zimmer tolles Frühstück. Direkte Umgebung verdreckt.

Very nice clean room. Friendly staff and very helpful. No issue at all checking in. It was perfect and stay throughout was very comfortable! Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

Very clean and within walking distance of main attractions

Det var fint hotel, der var en mærkelig kloak lugt i toilettet, som de sagde skyldes systemet i området :-/ Poolen var slet ikke så stor og åbnede først kl 10.30 til 20.00 På sidste dagen kunne toilettet ikke trækkes op. Så vi blev nød til at anvende på en anden etage. Morgenmad var godt Personalet var søde Tæt på alt - god beliggenhed Værelserne gode

I was impressed with my stay at Hotel Arka. Its biggest asset is the absolutely perfect location, right on the main square and apart of the Old Bazaar. Within easy walking distance of all the major sights and restaurants. The hotel itself is euro modern and impeccably clean. My room was comfortable and well decorated, and I especially enjoyed the excellent and varied breakfast offered each morning. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, providing great local tips. Parking can be a little hard as the carpark is shared with a few other locations. There is apparently a employee (not from the hotel) that helps locate parking spots. For a central, comfortable, and well run stay in the heart of Skopje, I couldn't recommend Hotel Arka more highly.

Ero stato in questo albergo 5 anni fa ed era un soggiorno tutto sommato piacevole. Esperienza attuale é stata pessima per seguenti motivi; -durante la prenotazione era indicato disponibile la piscina coperta. Invece al momento del check out hanno comunicato che fino a maggio non era possibile utilizzarla. -ho prenotato una camera con letto king, mi hanno assegnato una camera con due letti singoli uniti (per modo di dire) che si staccavano in continuazione -essendo un viaggio di lavoro, avevo bisogno di una connessione internet decente. Purtroppo la velocità era 6Mbps download e 1,8Mbps upload con continuo staccarsi. -in camera ho trovato un forte odore di chiuso e tutto era pieno di polvere, sembrava che la camera non venisse utilizzata da tempo -aria condizionata funzionava malappena ma quando si attivava faceva un rumore che ho fatto davvero fatica ad addormentarmi Peccato perché prima era un albergo molto valido, ora non piu…

Im Bad bzw Wc hat es so gestunken dass es nicht aushaltbar war tut mir Leid aber es verdient keine 4-5 Sterne

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

Zimmer sehr altmodisch, luxuriös vielleicht 1990, armaturen verkalkt, Teppichboden befleckt

Hotellet ligger i et kvarter med masser moskeer. Der kommer massiv larm fra disse på alle tider af døgnet, fx når der kl. 4 om natten kaldes til bøn! Ganske vist ligger hotellet lige ved Old Town, men også meget tæt på et trøstesløst, nedslidt og fattigt kvarter. Skopje er en af de grimmeste byer, jeg har besøgt i verden - kun Bukarest og Chisinau er grimmere! Vores fejl var, at vi tilbragte 3 døgn i byen, inden vi tog ud i de (smukke) bjerge og senere til den flotte Ohrid Sø. Mit råd til andre rejsende er, at man kun tilbringer 1 døgn i Skopje og i stedet udforsker naturen i Nordmakedonien.

One has to judge things through the lense of Macedonia where in general hotels can be a bit eccentric. but this one is more eccentric than most. Positives are superb location right next to the old town, and huge rooms with great views and the awesome roof bar/terrace. Downsides are fading 80s style and no way this can be described as a 5 star service. Having said that most of the staff were friendly (mention to the good staff at the bar). Nice breakfast. Probably the worst thing was over soft mattresses (not good by today's standards) and the greenhouse effect of so much glass when the aircon was centrally turned off. So rooms were pretty warm. Open the windows and its noisy. Plus we were told no kettle or iron for "security reasons". Really this isnt 5 star service. But hey, overall go for the experience!

Too many rules. The Welcome Aboard package contains two legal size pages of small print of rules including no washing clothes in the sink and no outside food, even though ony breakfast is served. My first two days, I wanted to eat breakfast outside on the terrace. The waiters refused to serve me. Reason; "not our protocol." Food from the buffet, coffee, and cigerettes were allowed, but they refused to walk the extra ten meters with the breakfast plate. I finally got them to do as I asked, but I had to start the first two mornings fighting with hotel staff.

Very nice clean room. Friendly staff and very helpful. No issue at all checking in. It was perfect and stay throughout was very comfortable! Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

The front desk was excellent and very kind but the hotel requires guests to put a sign on the door if they want but clean. If it's not there, the room will not be clean. The room safe didn't work. Ordering a taxi was super complicated and took an hour every time.

Really nice hotel with great location. Service was really good all the time but with extra credit to Ratko in the reception. A role model for every person working with service

Hotel is well located but i never see so rude staff in all balkans. The staff never say hello at reception, try to invent silly excuse, try to scam with taxis….i would be really interested to talk with general manager about my stay there. After this stay we stayed in Double Tree by hilton in Skopje and experience was totally different. Its really pity because this hotel could be nice and so on but just need change this lazy staff

The service at the hotel was disappointing. We had booked an airport pickup and the hotel asked for flight details etc. When we found out our flight may be delayed we sent an email before leaving to advise the hotel of a likely delay to our flight and we sent an URL for Skopje Airport asking them to check the latest flight status before sending the car. When we arrived (late) the reception staff made a snide comment about arriving late and the car having to wait for us. When we checked out the hotel tried to charge us twice for the airport pickup. I told the staff that I had sent an email warning them of the delay. The receptionist acknowledged the email but said that he can't be expected to check the flight status of all of his clients when arranging a airport pick up therefore we must pay twice for the delay. We did not pay for the additional pick up and raised a complaint but it took a lot argument to reach this outcome and it took some of the pleasure out of our stay in what is a lovely city. In fairness to the staff he was presumably doing his job in line with the hotel's policies. But if so that leaves an impression of service levels at the hotel - i.e. ignoring an email from a client warning of delays because it is unreasonable to have to check the flight status. It is a pity as in many ways the hotel is good. It is in a great location next to the Old Bazaar part of the city and it has great views from the breakfast and bar area. Also the breakfast was fantastic.

En bordure du bazar, ce qui a des avantages (proximite) et des inconvenients (tres anime, un peu bruyant -muezzins-). Mais au final agreable. Personnel aimable et empresse.

Very nice stay. Excellent breakfast with omelettes, pancakes and more made on request. Room had a lot of space. Everything clean and the service is good.
