The location is unbelievable. It's right at the main gate to the Haram (seriously, it is!). The room description was correct. I could see the Kaaba from my window ALL the time. The room was clean and fresh. The breakfast was amazing (especially the fresh juice options!). The staff was helpful. The reception team was friendly and professional.

The hotel location is just great. It is close to the mosque, it allows easy access. I appreciate the supportive service personnel, especially Mr Mohammed Sadiq and Mr Arif.
One receptionist was not nice. They were rude, not polite, and not helpful. He gave us only 10 minutes for checking out. It felt as if we are chased.

Excellent Proximity and Spacious Rooms

close proximitynumerous restaurantscomfortable bedsexpensive parking
The hotel is very close to the haram, only about a 5-minute walk. I found at least 20 restaurants with different cuisines located in the same building (that was amazing!). Barber shops and other shops are also available there, so it is like staying in a hotel connected to a mall. The room size was bigger than usual, and the beds were comfortable.
The parking was expensive (i think). It cost 23 SR per hour, the same as the cost of a five-star hotel room. Hopefully, they can address this issue soon.
Location

The hotel boasts an excellent location near the Haram, providing easy access for prayers and religious activities. Many restaurants with diverse cuisines reside in the same building, offering convenient dining options after a long day.
Facilities

The building includes multiple shops, such as barber shops (which I appreciated). This allows guests to take care of various needs without having to leave the premises. The availability of these facilities significantly enhances the overall convenience.
