Great location, quiet, kind staff, modern rooms, great breakfast, value for money more

Arrived very late at night . Staff could not have been more helpful as I had a lot of bulky baggage, I had been riding around Skopje looking for some where to stay, there is an enclosed courtyard to the front of the hotel secure for motorcycle parking, I did not use the small pool in the restuarant, the breakfast... more

I found this hotel creepy and - despite reading the other reviews - thought it was in a very poor location. It was in the heart of no-where. It's hard to describe the hotel surrounding other then saying it was like looking at piles of rubble stacked in the shape of houses. War torn comes to mind but I didn't... more

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. We booked this hotel in Skopje because it advertised a pool, Jacuzzi and Sauna. Although we confirmed by email the night before, we were not told that none were working. On arrival, we decided to take a dip in the pool and received our first disappointment.

Breakfast is served on the 7th floor of the Arka Hotel and what a view! I would come back to this hotel just for this smashing vista of Skopje. The hotel itself is a pretty decent four star affair which boasts a free pool, gym and sauna, all those essentials to work off that beer gut. The location of the... more

I really didn't know what to expect from this hotel. I arrived very late at night and was a bit worried as the cab made its way down a very dark and untidy alley. The hotel was almost in complete darkness but staff appeared, lights were switched on and check in was easy. My room was comfortable, clean and modern... more

The ARKA Hotel is quite new - built about 2 years ago I was told. I stayed 13 nights 15-28 May 2005. Hotel is in old (pre-1963 earthquake) Skopje, on north side of river. Most other hotels I saw were on re-built south bank. Hotel is set back from a main road where lots of local shops and street market... more
