Lounge Hostel

Skopje


A lovely large common area, orthopaedic mattresses and bright, breezy balconies attached to every room are some of the highlights of this sociable, retro-styled hostel with a view over City Park. Staff are a little less clued-up here than at some other hostels, but will bend over backwards to help make guests' lives easier.

Herb pots hanging off the kitchen balcony – for self-caterers – are a nice touch. Private rooms share bathrooms with the dorms.
