Butel Hotels with Pools

Stayed on business for five nights and I was overall suitably impressed by the hotel. It is modern and comfortable and my room was large and stylish. There are some nice design touches like the bright red Smeg fridge, some funky furniture and a big shower/wet room, which was amazing! However, the tap on the sink did come off in my hand! It has probably one of the best hotel gyms I have seen, with lots of modern kit and equipment and clean, airy workout areas. Breakfast was really good and the food in the main restaurant was also excellent. There are a couple of bars, which again, are comfortable and modern, with a nice atmosphere. Good selection of drinks and reasonably priced for an upscale hotel. The immediate surroundings look a bit drab, right next to the sports stadium, but the City Park is within a couple of minutes walk and is a pleasant area and it is possible to walk in an easterly direction through the park for 10 minutes or so, to a more lively part of town, with a selection of bars and restaurants. Incidentally, eating out and drinking is not expensive at all. We found several restaurants serving tomahawk steaks for £20 - £25 and a large beer is less than £2. It is a short taxi ride or a 25 minute walk in the other direction, towards the central city locations and the Old Bazaar, which are worth visiting. The city centre is surprisingly lively and picturesque, with the Vardar River running through the middle. The Old Bazaar is an interesting place, with it's old, narrow streets, shops, markets, restaurants and bars. In summary, a very good, comfortable and modern hotel, which I would definitely recommend for a stay in Skopje.
