It was the worst hostel that i stayed

They had breakfast that included to hostel bill. It was first and last opportunity to stay here

They didnt have carpets in the rooms. Its possible but if u dont have carpets u have to provide slippers. Did they provide? Absolutely they didnt. They didnt have towels in bath either. Staff people were kind of weird. There was just a living room and it was full of staff. We couldnt even sit.

One of the best!

Third time staying here and honestly one of the best hostels in Europe. It's super clean and well taken care of, the staff is always willing to help and friendly, fair breakfast included, they have good WiFi everywhere in the hostel, common areas are good. They have a gazebo which is really nice to hang out and just relax outside. Kitchen is also good, it has everything you need. Good and safe location, has everything around walking not more than 10-15min. Feels like home and very cozy.

Clean, central, good value.

Good backpackers. Clean.

Breakfast wasn’t really breakfast One member of staff (male) quite rude but think he was a work away so didn’t really care about customer enquiries.

Good value and friendly staff

The dorm is spaceous with locker and with curtains and a little lamp you have your little private property. My dorm even had a balcony. Breakfast is simple but nice. Well equiped clean kitchen.

The ceiling of the bunk bed is really low in the down level.

7.0 / 10.0

OK stay

It's a cheap option near-ish the bus station. They provide a simple breakfast and there is a common room.

The bunk beds are wobbly, I could feel every single movement the other person made. It's not a social hostel. The staff on site are not from North-Macedonia so they weren't able to give good suggestions about where to eat, what to do.

Does the job in Skopje.

Bit hard to find for me, coming from the bus station but I met very nice people there. It does the job in Skopje.

Not recommended for solo travellers

Friendly owner Quick responses from the owner when i called stating that i didn’t get my ID back. He called to check and got back to me in one minute apologized and organized when to pick it up.

The most important thing in a hostel is the vibe and how people talk but once i arrived i noticed poker face from the volunteers working even on the reception. No smiling nor welcoming to the facility just showed me quickly and forgot to give my ID back because she wanted to go back quickly watching TV. Asking other guests they also had complaints regarding the volunteers behavior. Breakfast was not to be compared with breakfasts i got in different hostels in the balkans. Only jam, butter and bread were available. Coffee and Tea were also available. Overall it’s a good hostel but i believe with just small adjustments and proper selection of volunteers with friendly attitude and enough soft skills, it will create better vibes for the guests

Amazing

I have to say it’s one of the most clean, cozy and safe hostels I’ve ever stayed in. It’s so comfy and has amazing beds with curtains which make all the difference in a shared room. It’s located great and is very quite and small. Loved it They really value tidiness and organized space. Was very nice for a hostel. Will remember it fondly

All good

Nice, cosy, friendly hostel

The staff were very friendly and watch movies together in the common area in the evening. It's a short walk from the bus station.

The common area could get a little cramped if a lot of people were there

Will defo come back if I’m ever in Skopje again

I don’t understand why people would choose any other hostel. This is simply the best hostel with such affordable price in Skopje.

The kitchen could use non-stick pans for better cooking experience, and maybe hand soap could be added to the kitchen sink, but yeah this is no big deal and just a suggestion.

10.0 / 10.0

A trouble-free and enjoyable stay.

Thanks to its location, it is within 15-20 minutes walking distance to many places. There is a market and a bakery right next to it. Wi-fi is fast. The staff is friendly and informative.

Great Location and Very Clean!

The location is just right — about halfway between the city center (the area with many statues) and the bus station, both easily accessible on foot. A shopping mall with a supermarket and food court is about a 10-minute walk away, which is convenient for both groceries and meals. The hostel is extremely clean — honestly one of the cleanest I’ve seen. It seems to be cleaned multiple times a day. The toilets and showers are not only clean but also spacious. However, no shampoo or soap is provided, so bring your own. A simple breakfast is included. Free tea and coffee are available. There’s a helpful bulletin board with bus schedules for nearby towns and sightseeing spots, as well as recommendations for local restaurants. The lockers in the dorms are large — more than enough for a carry-on-sized backpack. You can pay in either euros or Macedonian denars. There’s a space to hang laundry to dry.

Towels are not included — they’re available for rent at €1.5, so it’s better to bring your own. Laundry and drying services are available, but they weren’t cheap (I don’t remember the exact price), so I hand-washed and hung my clothes instead.

Something better? Impossible!

If you wanna the best affordable accommodation experience in Macedonia, Skopje Downtown Hostel is the answer! Located strategically in Skopje, this hostel offers a unique experience for your holidays in this precious city: clean facilities, a pleasant atmosphere and welcoming staff. Key points: Near bus station, malls, main square and old bazaar (no more than 10 to 15 min.) Supermarkets, ATMs, parking, and currency exchange offices in the surroundings.

Nothing to mention.

Nice hostel 10min from main square in Skopje

Really nice hostel in Skopje, 10min from the main square and the bus station. One of the cleanest rooms I ever had with a comfortable bed and lots of storage space. Internet was fast, and breakfast, even though minimal, was good. Friendly and welcoming staff.

İt was okay

Not bad. The City is small so you dont have to walk that much. And there is a market across to hostel. They give breakfast but it is limited. Just bread milk cereal etc. Sheets was clean. Room was okay. The space between the beds were to small so you must bend to get in there. Beds have curtains so it is convenient.

Excelent!

I had my best hostel stat at Skopije downtown. The location is very good (between the bus station and city center and close from both), the place is super clean and breakfast is good. The owner is very helpful and also the staff. Dorms are confortable.

Lovely place to stay

I really liked the owner. His passion for the hostel really shone through. The owner was really helpful and present either at the end of whattsapp or in person. Rooms clean, facilities clean. Hostel is about 13 mins walk from main square, but it's a breeze of a walk, Felt completely safe walking at night. Good group of people there for a couple of nights, good conversations. Light and power socket next to the bed. I loved the hostel & Skopje that I was able to extend my stay.

Great place except for bedding

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.

balkan style business

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.

Location close to main bus station - can easily take bus 60 to Matka there is a local fresh market nearby reasonably clean staff is helpful there is a high ratio of bathrooms to beds ratio

it’s a bit of walk to bazaar 20 mins - in summer it can be quite a long walk and the local buses have

Good option in Skopje

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.
