Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a fantastic location, just minutes away from King Abdul Aziz Gate, making it very convenient for visiting the Haram. The rooms were generally clean, but I found some of the furniture to be a bit old, which affected the overall comfort. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, but the dining options could use some improvement. Overall, it's a decent option for the price, especially given the location.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the Holy Kaaba, and the staff was generally friendly and helpful. However, the rooms need some improvements, particularly for accessibility, and the noise from the prayer call can be a bit disruptive for families. Overall, it’s a decent option, but not without its drawbacks.
My stay at this hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the location is absolutely perfect, right across from the Haram, making it incredibly convenient. The rooms were okay, though the bedding setup was a bit unique since we had two single beds and an extra bed added in. On the downside, the service left a lot to be desired; the staff seemed a bit unprofessional and struggled with communication, especially during breakfast. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money given its location, but improvements in service would definitely enhance the experience.
I stayed at this hotel primarily for its great location near AlMasjid AlHararm, which is a huge plus. The room was clean but smaller than I expected, and unfortunately, the loudspeakers broadcasting prayers at fajr times disrupted my family's sleep. While the staff were generally okay, I found their service lacking in professionalism. The dining options could use more variety, especially for Asian food, which was a bit disappointing given the hotel’s rating.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is extremely close to Masjidil Haram, making it perfect for my needs. The rooms were rather small but clean, and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The dining options could use some improvement as breakfast was just okay and the variety was lacking. However, the facilities were decent and offered good value for money given the proximity to key locations.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is incredible, just in front of the Haram, which made it super convenient for my visits. However, the room was not ideal as it wasn't quite what I expected, and I had some trouble with the extra bed. The service from the staff varied, with some being really friendly while others weren't as helpful. Overall, I think the value for money could have been better considering some of the drawbacks.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel with a great location right in front of the Haram, making it super convenient for my visits. The room was clean, but I was a bit disappointed that it didn't have the partial view I was expecting, and the extra bed wasn't a proper one. The breakfast spread was impressive and up to the five-star standard, plus the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. However, I felt like the room should have matched my reservation better, which did impact my overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. While the location is fantastic, just steps away from the Haram, the rooms unfortunately had some cleanliness issues and didn't smell great. The service varied; some staff were kind and understanding, but others were less than helpful. On a positive note, the breakfast was truly royal, offering a great variety of fresh foods, but the pricing for meals could be considered a bit steep.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is unbeatable, just in front of Masjid Al-Haram, making it super convenient for prayers. The rooms were spacious and offered stunning views, but the loudspeakers for the azaan at fajr time were quite disruptive, waking my baby. The service was prompt and friendly, but the dining options left a bit to be desired, as they were a bit limited and just okay. Overall, the experience had its ups and downs, making it a decent stay with some drawbacks.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel primarily because of its unbeatable location right in front of Masjid Al-Haram. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Eissa and Ali, which made our experience even better. However, the rooms could really use a refresh, as the furniture felt old and not very clean, and the added noise from the loudspeakers during prayer times was a bit disruptive for my family, particularly for our baby. Overall, it was a decent experience but room for improvement.
