“Great Value and Friendly Hosts”
The best part of our stay was the kindness of the hosts. They were very welcoming, accommodated our arrival time, and even allowed us to leave our backpacks after check-out so we could enjoy our last day without carrying them around. The hostel is well located, affordable, and the bathrooms and showers were clean and well equipped.

The hostel is a good starting point for a trip to Skopje when travelling on a budget. Located close to the river, restaurants and more. It offers a small kitchen and a clean bathroom to share with only a few others. Staff was friendly. Overall good.

“Macedonian vibes”
It's a decent place in good location. Macedonia square is a 15 mins walk, shops and restaurants nearby. The hostel kitchen has fridge and basic cutlery. The room and bathroom is simple but functional.
