Best Western Hotel Turist is at Gjuro Strugar Street 11 in the Centar neighbourhood, and its main strength is its location. Expedia lists it as a 3.5-star property with 74 rooms in a wide range of types, rated 8.4 from 163 reviews, with the location scoring highest at 9.4. On foot, the Memorial House of Mother Teresa and the Skopje City Museum are about two minutes away, the Feudal Tower three minutes, Macedonia Square five and the Stone Bridge seven, which puts the bazaar and the Fortress within an easy walk. The hotel has a restaurant, a bar, a terrace, a library, massage and spa services, a banquet hall and an electric car charging station, and rooms include free WiFi, safes, minibars, sound-insulated walls, satellite TV and electric kettles. It is a practical, central and moderately priced base for travellers who plan to spend their days outside the hotel.
Location and getting around: you can walk to nearly every central sight from the door. The Old Bazaar is reached by way of the Stone Bridge, and Macedonia Square is a short stroll. Skopje Airport is about a 27-minute drive, and an airport shuttle runs on request for a fee. Taxis for Matka Canyon and the Millennium Cross are easy to find in the centre.
The rooms: the hotel has 74 rooms and many room types, including king, double, twin, standard and deluxe options, all with sound-insulated walls, which helps in a city centre. Choose a deluxe room for more space. Check-in begins at 2 pm and check-out is at noon.
Good to know: breakfast is a buffet for an extra charge, and some guests found it unremarkable, so you may prefer a bakery breakfast nearby. Self-parking costs a daily fee, and one 2024 reviewer reported that construction blocked driving up to the hotel and that guests were directed to a garage about seven minutes on foot, so ask about access if you arrive by car. Pets are not allowed. Some reviews mention a dated property and weak WiFi in places, so this is a hotel for travellers who prize location and value over polish. Staff and location are the most praised points. It suits solo travellers, couples and small groups on a moderate budget who want to walk everywhere.
