Very nice facilities. Very close to the Haram. Beautiful view of the Kaabah and Haram from my room. Very memorable. Recommended by a friend, that's a local. It was a spectacular stay for Umrah. Breakfast and restaurant were very good. Quality & variety of food were first class. Staff were helpful and smiling. We felt welcomed. Won't be my last stay, inshaa Allah. One dislike: Hotel feels a little outdated.

Every single member of staff were so pleasant, polite, courteous and alway available to help - the best experience we have had by far! Especially those responsible for housekeeping (I forget his name but for me he was like an Uncle) and also Ismath who was of amazing help during our last days there - ensuring our luggage was looked after and allowing us to perform Umrah with ease before we were to leave for home - suffice to say if it wasn't for him and his colleagues we would not have been able to do this. May allah subhna tallah reward them all for making our pilgrimage such a pleasant one!

Close to Haram, and the view is spectacular. The only thing which i don't understand that when you are an Expedia VIP customer and you are checking in after 2:00 PM in low season an the Hotel is quarter of it capacity, the receptionist refused to give us our room, we had to come again after 4:00 PM to collect our keys.

In terms of its proximity to masjid ul haram, great location and it is at a very convenient walkable distance to Kaaba. Cleanliness was ok. Couches, carpet and walls were stained with marks of food and coffee. Never cleaned properly. They did not have microwave or dishes or dishwashing stuff in kitchenette which was nuisance when traveling were 3 little kids. Room bar was insanely over priced. Would recommend buying similar stuff at 1/10th the price from shop around. Connected with shopping mall so tons of eating options available. breakfast was included and had amazing variety and options. Staff was receptive. Daily room service was available which is rarely seen in other western hotels these days. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
