We stayed here for 3 nights as we were visiting Skopje to watch soccer game : Macedonia v Ireland. The hotel is just outside the city and is basic, very clean and has excellent staff.

There were 14 of us in our group and we would recommend the hotel for groups looking for good value accomodation.

The one thing all visitors to Skopje need to be aware of is the taxi drivers, many of them will try to over charge you, we would suggest you agree a price before the journey starts.

A group of friends with teenagers travelled across Macedonia last month and I must say that hotel Vergina was the best choice on our trip. Yes, this is small 3* hotel but very clean and inexpensive. Rrooms are spacious and very nice with elegant blue blankets on the beds (room No.51 on the ground floor). Bathroom is also very clean but not very up to date. Breakfast is adequate.
We must catch a plane very early in the morning, so we weaked up at 4 am and the breakfast was waiting for us - thanks again to very friendly staff (they was there whenever we needed). In front of the hotel there is a beautiful green garden with two little pools and a sitting place for relax with a breathtaking view on Vodno hill with a Millenium Cross on the top. I recommended it.

We were booked into this hotel by a cost-conscious client. The hotel produced a rather strange impression on us. On one hand, it seemed really new and clean, with a cheerful, albeit kitschy, decor. The staff was young and friendly. However, the furnishings were really basic. There were only two towels in the bathroom, and no towel to put on the rather cold floor. It is located in the middle of nowhere, and our rooms overlooked a rather noisy highway. My colleague and I seemed to be the only two guests in our wing of the hotel (separate from the rest of the hotel and the reception wing), which felt a little creepy. Homeless dogs howling outside by night contributed to this feeling. Most importantly, despite a statement of the reception to the contrary, there was no wireless, or any other, internet in our rooms (there was WiFi in the common area downstairs). Since I was travelling on business, I found this very inconvenient.

13 of us stayed at the Hotel Vergina when we were in Skopje to watch Scotland v Macedonia.

The hotel has a lovely pool but as a previous poster has mentioned it was empty although they filled a smaller plunge pool for us. The rooms were good and breakfast was adequate, cold meats/cereals/coffee/orange juice etc.

The hotel is about 35 mins walk to the centre along by the river but taxis were only 120 dinar although returning to the hotel they tried to charge us anything up to 1300 dinar !
