Mmmmm, Having seen RAVE Reviews on another site, some of which, I have to say DID LOOK a " Bit Suspect" ( Veles was THE Centre of, The Trum (alleged) " dirty internet Campaign) thought we would give it a whirl. Super location for what we needed. I am an " ex-pat"( Brit.) living in Skopje so booked direct. Even with the " Cheaper" price as a result, was a bit pricey for Veles. Arrived where Google Maps said it was. Whilst The International Restaurant was well Sign Posted. Parked the car and took us 10 minutes to find the hotel! There IS a sign but faces away from the flow of traffic. Negotiate various stairs, NO HAND RAILS, and get to reception.. Receptionist more concerned with dealing with a problem her colleague had than checking us in. Put that down to we are " Local" and "used to it/expect it". NO information about ANYTHING/ checkout time/Parking blah blah. Ask about the parking " It is at the back by the restaurant".. Twice around the block having ascertained the Small Parking.place has a BARRIER ( who knows how to get that raised?) Park on the street.. The room TINY ( about 7 x 10 meteres perhaps) Shower room, one wall almost TOTALLY made up of a clear glass panel! OK, some sort of blind covering it, but not effectively. VERY WEIRD. As my wife said ( Very Macedonian this) " Probably one of the rooms they rent out to lovers here just for a short time". Shower room also LETHAL after one shower with the floor being marble and the water spreading over the whole of the floor. (Perhaps why there was an emergency alarm.Not labelled of course) Kettle but only tea, no coffee or even milk... Checked out 0930 hours ( given we had NO IDEA when we we were supposed to be gone) NO ONE on reception, found them drinking coffee in the restaurant.. Used the restaurant the evening we got there,, and again, probably because " We were Local" no table could be found and we got dumped on on the table, I suspect usually The Staff use. Staff were nice though and service good.. Although clean and looks super, NO WAY 4 Star or worthy of the price charged. Then again has a good location..

Very clean room with nice and new furniture. As a welcome I got a coffee and juice and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. A supermarket is close by and parking is free throughout the city. The food in the restaurant was very tasty, huge portions and very affordable.
