Set in Skopje and with Stone Bridge reachable within 1.5 km, Railway Hostel offers express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace. The property is located 20 km from Millennium Cross, 1.9 km from Museum of the City of Skopje and 1.8 km from Museum of Macedonia. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests.

Everything is exceptional. The place has only recently opened and has a lovely, fresh, bright feel to it. Furniture is in excellent condition, beds are very comfy, bathroom modern & well-equipped. Kitchen has all you need to cook for yourself - fridge freezer, microwave, hotplate, kettle & crockery/cutlery. Relatively peaceful even when others were there. I was in the 4-bed and the 8-bed had a group booking, but there wasn't any excessive noise, particularly at night. Easy access (keycode) to get into building & hostel allows for convenient 24 hour check in and is extremely close to the bus station....took me two minutes (I timed it!). Small convenience store at the base of the building and a huge VERO centre approx 10 minutes walk along the river (westbound). The host is a gem...extremely friendly and helpful (native English speaker). I'll definitely stay here again when I'm in Skopje!

I was genuinely impressed with what I received as an accommodation. It was a whole apartment equipped for living. Kitchen had everything you needed to cook, even oil and spices. The heating was done by A/C but it was very warm. Clean and modern!

    Goran went above and beyond to make our experience as good as it could be. He block booked the whole hostel and ensured it met our requirements as a large group of Scouts. Having stayed in a number, this is by far the best Hostel in Skopje. I'd certainly recommend it for groups. Great location, clean rooms and strong WiFi - the place was spot on!

    This is a budget hostel located in a single apartment on the top floor of a tenement house close to the center of Skopje. There are three rooms in this apartment, so be prepared to share the bathroom, kitchen and nice loggia with people from two other rooms. A very good place for a cheap, short stay (1-3 nights) in Skopje.

    The beds were comfortable depending what room and what bunk bed you got. My bed was fine. But I know some other rooms were not so good causing discomfort at night. The Hostel was great for socialising and meeting new people. Best on my journey so far and i had come through 8 other countries before ''GET INN HOSTEL'' If felt like a family. All together in the evening. Very sociable, unlike some hostels where most people are using it like an office, glued to their devices. I would stay again.
