City Park Hotel

This is a small but breezily efficient and welcoming hotel in the city centre - and, as its name suggests, right across the street from the sprawling and rather wonderful city park. The rooms are small and a bit of a squeeze but newly redecorated and well equipped. They lack a desk and chair but there is plenty of space in the lobby and two dining areas to sit and work: many others are doing the same. The food is excellent, with a wide breakfast choice which appears to change daily (with a wider selection when the hotel is busiest, which makes sense). There is the option of full/half board with a good choice of set menu, but the a la carte menu choice is even wider. Food is freshly cooked and of a very high standard. Best of all, the staff are friendly and always ready to help, whether with local information or installing a local SIM card. I was worried that 8 days in a small city hotel would wear me down, but not a bit of it: I really enjoyed my stay at the City Park and would choose to come back in a heartbeat.

Old building, recently renovated. Very close to the central square as well as the near by area is very causy with restaurants and coffee shops. Very helpful and gentle staff. Generally rooms with all the necessary things. Medium sized and clean rooms

This hotel is ok for a short stay but I was surprised by the such positive reviews. The location is very good and the communal areas felt nice and modern but the room itself (Junior Suite) was very basic and dated, definitely not as nice as it looked in the pictures, and not especially clean. We found the service on reception to be unfriendly at times too. Overall a bit of a disappointment and felt overpriced at MKD 7,000 per night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the City Park in Skopje, couldn’t have gone any better. The location is great, just across the street from the beautiful city park and close to the river cycleways. It was only about a 20 minute walk (5 minute bike) into the heart of the city and Old Bazaar area. There are tons of cafes, restaurants, shops, and convenience stores within a few hundred meters of the hotel. The staff were wonderful! Reception was very friendly and we were fortuitously allowed an early check-in as well as an upgrade to a suite. We would like to single out the super friendly and helpful Mary who helped to make our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Our room was amazing – very large, bright, and airy, very clean and modern. We had a large sitting area leading out to a balcony overlooking the park. The Wifi and TV worked great as did the little minibar. We had a hard time controlling the AC and couldn’t really get the room as cold as we wanted at night. The king-size bed was very comfortable and we had a good sleep – there was a little bit of road noise but nothing excessive. The onsite restaurant was excellent! One of the best restaurants we found in Macedonia. We ended up eating most of our meals there. Service was fast and friendly. The free breakfast was excellent as well – really a good start to the day. The only criticism I can offer is that the free bicycles they provide for guests were a bit old and in not-so-good condition. We used them and had quite a few mechanical problems. The bike fleet could use updating. In any case, we had an excellent stay and would definitely recommend this place as a great base for your stay in Skopje.

Excellent stay at the Hotel City Park. Spacious room, convenient location, nice restaurants and bars around the corner and walkable to the city square and bazaar.

Great location for local cafes, bars and restaurants.

Great location…perfect for every season

The hotel is located in a great location- close to old town and in an upcoming area. It was easy to walk to where we wanted to go. The room was comfortable and mostly clean. The shower was really nice and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good although it consisted of a lot of processed/packaged foods. Overall it was a great location and a hotel I’d gladly return to.

Great location, lovely and welcoming staff
