Limak Skopje Luxury Hotel

Ian T10 months ago

Overall a very nice stay -- I was here for the backgammon tournament. The hotel was very cleanly and everything was quite new. The check-in process was painless and included a free "welcome cookie", which was great after a long set of flights from the U.S.||The room was quite nice. We had a non-smoking room, but upon arrival, the bathroom smelled strongly of smoke. Management offered to change our room immediately, which shows they are on top of things and receptive of guest complaints.||The bed is very firm, and as some of the other reviews have mentioned, the bedding offered (single sheet + blanket) is a bit spartan for a luxury hotel. I assume that this is a matter or personal taste, but I found that I missed having a down comforter of some sort.||The breakfast area was very ample, quite a lot of foods offered. That being said, there was little variation from day to day and I got bored with it after a few times. However, they do offer a lot of choices -- I recommend holding off on certain foods so that you can rotate every few days and not get bored. The restaurant was sufficient for a quick bite, though obviously there are better places to eat in Skopje if you aren't in a rush.||Sauna and steam room were nice -- easy to use and ample hours during which these are available. Massage services were good, but you must ask for more pressure if you want it.||The overall aesthetic of the hotel is very handsome. The room used for the tournament playing area was nicely decorated and had some great views of town on one side and Vodno on the other side. The Sky Bar was nice too -- lots of space for getting a drink and relaxing.||As for comparison to other hotel options, I did get a chance to poke around the Marriott at Center. My guess is that the Marriott is a little bit nicer, though more expensive. Although the Limak is not located in the Center, it's a pretty easy (10-15 minutes) walk to get to town square.
