Staying at Park Inn by Radisson Makkah Thaker Algharbi was an excellent experience from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly, attentive service—always ready to help with anything we needed. What stood out the most was the hotel’s convenient location just a short distance from the Haram Mosque. Whether walking or taking the metro, getting to the holy site was quick and stress-free, which made our visit much more comfortable, especially during peak times. The rooms were clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you’d expect for a pleasant stay. With its great value and top-notch hospitality, this hotel is definitely a standout choice for anyone visiting Makkah. I’d happily recommend it to fellow travelers.
Askant Golden Hotel
Staying at Askant Golden Hotel was an excellent experience. The hotel is incredibly close to the Haram, making it super convenient for pilgrims and visitors alike—just a short walk from the sacred site. Located right on the main street, it's easy to navigate and access nearby amenities. The property is spotlessly clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Everything about this hotel felt welcoming and well-maintained. With its prime location and high standards, it’s definitely a top choice if you're visiting Mecca.
Fajr Al Badea 5
I wish I could give a negative rating lower than 2 out of 10. This hotel was an absolute disappointment from start to finish. The staff were unfriendly and condescending, making guests feel unwelcome rather than cared for. There was no room service available at all—something that’s expected even in budget accommodations. The surrounding area was unpleasantly smelly and poorly maintained, giving the whole place a rundown feel. For elderly travelers or those with mobility issues, there were no wheelchairs provided, which is a major concern during a pilgrimage. I’d strongly recommend anyone with a choice to spend a bit extra on a better-rated, more considerate hotel. This one is not worth it—not even close.
Almanar Ajyad Hotel
I strongly discourage staying at this hotel—it's infested with bed bugs, making the entire experience a nightmare. The cleanliness is extremely poor, and despite being close to the Haram, that’s the only redeeming factor. Rooms are tiny with no closets, and the dining area uses plastic plates and cutlery—very low quality. Overall, it’s a disappointing stay, and I’d give it a rating below zero.
Maather Al Jewar Hotel
My stay at Maather Al Jewar Hotel was absolutely disappointing. The air conditioning didn't work at all, making the room extremely uncomfortable and almost unbearable during the heat. The room itself was not clean—there were visible signs of neglect, and it felt like it hadn’t been properly cleaned in days. There was no luggage pickup service offered, so I had to carry my heavy bags myself through the hotel and into the room, which was very inconvenient. The front desk staff were unfriendly and unprofessional—my requests for help were ignored or met with rude attitudes. Customer service was practically nonexistent. Overall, this experience was far below expectations. For such a high-profile location in Mecca, the standard of cleanliness, comfort, and service is unacceptable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely not be returning.
Prestige Al-Masaher
The Prestige Al-Masaher Hotel is an excellent choice, especially for those visiting Makkah for Umrah or Hajj. The room was comfortable for three people, but it felt a bit cramped with four guests. The on-site restaurant offers a great dining experience—while a meal costs around 35 SAR, the food quality, portion size, and local flavors make it worth every dirham. The hotel's location is convenient, close to the Grand Mosque, and getting there by metro is straightforward. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and a peaceful atmosphere make this stay memorable. Highly recommended for travelers looking for comfort and value in a central location.
Makkah Clock Royal Tower, A Fairmont Hotel
Staying at the Makkah Clock Royal Tower, A Fairmont Hotel was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived until check-out, the staff went above and beyond with their professionalism, warm welcome, and attention to every little detail—making us feel truly at home. The room was immaculate, beautifully appointed, and the view overlooking the Grand Mosque was absolutely breathtaking, bringing a deep sense of peace. Being just a short walk from the Haram makes it incredibly convenient for prayers and visiting the holy site. The breakfast spread was diverse and delicious, and the hospitality team was always ready to assist with a smile. Every aspect of our stay felt thoughtful and exceptional. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Makkah, and I’ll definitely be returning here on my next trip. Truly a gem in the heart of the holy city.

Jabal Omar Marriott Hotel, Makkah
Staying at Jabal Omar Marriott Hotel in Makkah was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service truly stood out—every staff member we interacted with was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Being located within the Haram area made access to the Grand Mosque seamless; we could walk there easily, but the hotel also offered complimentary golf carts and shuttle buses, which made moving around even more convenient. It’s a perfect choice for families or travelers seeking comfort and proximity to religious sites. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Makkah—this was definitely one of the best stays I’ve had, and I’ll be returning without hesitation.
Al Ghufran Safwah Hotel Makkah
This was my first time visiting Makkah, and choosing this hotel was the best decision I made. It's literally steps away from the Haram, making morning prayers stress-free and convenient. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything I needed. What stood out most was the incredible value for money—comfortable, clean, and very welcoming.

I couldn’t have asked for a better stay at Pullman ZamZam Makkah. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional and the staff were warm, helpful, and always ready to assist. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the Grand Mosque, making it ideal for pilgrims or visitors wanting easy access. My room was clean, spacious, and well-appointed, offering comfort and peace of mind throughout my visit. The only minor drawback was the elevator—it’s quite slow and sometimes seems to act on its own, which can be a bit frustrating when you’re in a hurry. But honestly, that small issue doesn’t take away from the overall excellence of the experience. The hospitality, cleanliness, and convenience make this hotel stand out. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Makkah.
Hilton Suites Jabal Omar Makkah
Masha Allah! We were upgraded to a stunning suite with an incredible view upon arrival—truly a blessed surprise. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and offered a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation. Breakfast was exceptional—plenty of options with delicious local flavors that truly stood out. Special shoutout to Azizah at the front desk; her warm hospitality made all the difference. She went above and beyond to assist us with directions and recommendations. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Gate 79 (Mataf) or Gate 78 rooftop, making access to holy sites incredibly convenient. For anyone visiting Makkah, this hotel offers comfort, service, and proximity that simply can't be beat. A truly memorable stay.
