Setting and arrival
I arrived from Sofia in the evening and was checked in quickly. The hotel is a five-minute walk from the railway station and within easy reach of government offices and the main sights.
The rooms
My Junior Suite had a welcoming, well-finished living room with a comfortable sofa, satellite TV, large work area, free Wi-Fi and minibar, leading to a bedroom with a king bed. The warm-toned bathroom includes a bathtub and bidet. The Presidential Suite adds a private jacuzzi.
Dining
Restaurant Iris serves national and international dishes at lunch and dinner, with friendly staff happy to suggest local and international wines. The larger Restaurant Ogniste is a traditional Macedonian restaurant with a pleasant, rustic atmosphere.
Facilities
The health and fitness centre has treadmills, stair climbers and weights, with a sauna for afterwards.
The verdict
A central location and comfortable suites make the Holiday Inn a practical, well-run choice in Skopje.
