First the good:||- Location in the square and close to everything (however it is very noisy if you need to get to sleep before midnight as the windows are not soundproof)|- My room was large and had a fridge ||Now the bad:||- No breakfast included|- Shower is inside the bath. The shower head and fixture is a very old fashioned 80s/90s style so doesn’t project the water outwards which means you need to squash up against the wall to shower, meaning showering is very uncomfortable |- The shower had lots of black flakes coming into the water flow when it was first turned on, which was really disgusting |- Flies in the room when I checked in|- Wi-Fi in my room didn’t really work at all, and I was staying for business purposes, which was a total nightmare |- No luggage storage - staff suggested I leave my bags at an unmanned desk by the restaurant door, where anyone could go upstairs and take them|- Staff refused to call a taxi and told me to just find a street taxi (when receptionists from 3 other Skopje hotels told me not to do this and always call a taxi)|- Overpriced and poor value for money vs offering ||Ultimately this place is charging hotel prices for a poor DIY type of experience, I do not recommend staying here (particularly not for business travelers!) when there are so many better options in...

Read more(This rating is for the restaurant) In general a good restaurant in a nice location next to the central square. Food is of decent quality and although it's quite busy, service was still not too slow.
However, what is not acceptable is that the prices on the menu on the restaurant website are much cheaper than in real life and what's worse, they are even aware of it (the waiter said other people had complained about it as well, but somehow they can't/don't want to update the website). So basically you check the menu online before coming, think that the prices are reasonable and then once you are at the restaurant you see that in real life the prices are up to more than 30% higher (e.g. Zucchini and Bresola Risotto: price in the online menu 329 MKD, real price when arriving in the restaurant 437 MKD = 32% higher price). The visit in the restaurant was two months ago and until the current date two months later, the prices online are still not updated. This is an unfair practice also towards their competition, because when people choose their restaurants based on the menus online, they are made to believe that the restaurant is cheaper than it actually is, and some people might only find out when they are already sitting down and ordering the food and then probably reluctant to...
