Kind of weird. Hotel is in a great spot

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

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

The hotel was a but runned down. Heavy wear on many furnitures. I stayed on the 6th floor and The view was amazing. I booked this hotel mainly due to the pool, but it was closed (to early for the season). Breakfast was very good. The parking was full but they moved cars in order to fit me. Very kind.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

1.0 / 10.0

I never made it to Skopje since my flight had a delay and I missed my connection. I called the hotel and they said that they would email me if I would get a refund. I never heard anything back. So I paid more than 400 euro for nothing.

3.0 / 10.0

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.

3.0 / 10.0

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.

They have a free guarded parking. But the pool is just a decoration in the restaurant. The restaurant where you also get breakfast has a good view.

Nice hotel in the most convenient location, right in the centre of the old town. Provides great views of the old town as well as other main attractions of Skopje from the rooftop terrace.

We had big expectations for the hotel but were sadly disappointed at arrival. The ammenties looked worn down. The staff seemed to have more important things to do than to help their guests. The room looked nice but the bed was not comfortable and the bath did not have a place to hang the shower nozzle so it had to be held by hand. We did not get our welcome drink as promised. They had given our parking away to someone else and were not very helpful about other options. All in all the stay was disappointing - especially given the steep price. The rooms were very clean.

The hotel was good but it was improved greatly the customer service of the two very helpful gentleman receptionists, Stoyan and Gregor, who helped us so much and couldn’t be more hospitable, they are a credit to the hotel.

The staff is fantastic, get all the help I need with everything, including Covid 19 required tests that they arranged on premises. Every member of the staff was very helpful. The hotel itself is it is very clean and well maintained in most areas, but a bit odd: glass bathrooms, no towel hooks and retractable showers you should hold in your hand all the time. The area around the hotel is not very clean (but feels safe though) and noisy.

Skopje is not a touristy city and thus the general layout and infrastructure is somewhat confusing, so our first impression of the hotel entrance was a bit scary. However, everything after that was great. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, the breakfast was great with one of the best views from anywhere in the city. The location was perfect, although the Macedonia Square is the heart of the city, the activity and best traditional food restaurants are right by the ARKA Hotel. Strongly recommended!
