5-Star Hotels in Makkah Province, Saudi Arabia

The location of the hotel was excellent, very close to Haram. The service was really fast and efficient. The rooms although, were slightly old and felt used and not as “clean” as some of the other clock tower hotel rooms. Also the amenities in the bathroom can be improved by adding more like toothbrush toothpaste were not included which we expected. Also there was no blow drier or oven in the room to heat up food items. These improvements can lead to a better experience and for us to book again with Pullman Zamzam.

Very good hotel..rooms are good and spacious. Kaaba view is excellent from hotel. The breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Good spread with lots of option. We were served with so much of care and specially Mr Ashraf was very very helpful and gave the extra mile to us and took care of us even the minute details specaily for my mom . That's what you call hospitality. My rating *****. Must try people like Ashraf make the difference between other properties and this.

We had a great stay in Adress Jabal Omar! We will be back soon, in sha Allah. The staff is very polite and helpful. Especially Roaa from the restaurant (standing at the reception). Such a sweet girl! They also think about people with special needs. Although there is a bus bringing you to the Haram, they also offer a taxi with a elevator for wheelchairs. There was a minus: we had a stay of 5 nights and 6 days, the breakfast was everyday for 90% the same. Which is a big no for a 5 star hotel.

I arrived to the hotel at 10 and the lady in the reception told us to go and do the Omra and come back to get the rooms, I am a gold Fairmont member which was treated badly. We came back at 2:30 and noticed that the rooms are not ready and have been told that the check in time is 4PM, however before one day of arrival they called me to ask me what time do I want the room to be ready. Each customer receptionist was directing me to another where this wasn’t practical at all, image I was awake more than 12 hours and at the end of the day each on just throws me. Then after having a fight we got the rooms finally, I get to know that one of the rooms is full of insects and the other room is noisy from the neighbors. When I called to tell the reception after several fights they changed both rooms, we had to wait more than 15 minutes for the escalators. Overall my experience with this hotel is really baaaaaaad and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The only positive point was that it’s few steps to the Haram other than that nothing is worth it at all, even when you speak to someone from the receptionist they don’t reply as of they don’t listen and in my case I am a gold member plus trip advisor level 6, how if I was a normal guest what would happen. They made my day very hard and miserable

Very personalized service by Mr Bunbun in Al Firdaous restaurants. What a wonderful warm friendly man who made sure we had excellent experience. Thanks God I always get hotel in Movenpick with facilities are very good and comfortable. We had an exceptional breakfast and lunch in Movenpick Restaurants. The staff in Restaurants friendly, good hospitality and most welcome. Well done to MOVENPICK MAKKAH TEAM.

Good stay in Makkah whilst we visited as a family. Close to Hajj ziyārah sites and only 5 minute drive to Masjid al Haram (when it’s quiet. Reasonably clean though I wasn’t convinced by the IHG cleanliness assurance during these sensitive times. We went for the 2 interconnecting rooms but the hotel had lost the key to the interconnecting door!! It took all night and into dawn before we were relocated into another room with a door that allowed access to each others room... quite important when you have 3 children. Until then, all 5 of us slept in one room for the first night of the 2 nights booked!! Our new room had issues with the door lock sensor.... so a maintenance problem all round. Once the issues were sorted however, everything else was smooth. Decent enough breakfast for European and Arab tastes. Spacious rooms, well decorated. One thing to note... reception staff are excellent - polite, well mannered and want to get things sorted for you. It’s just unfortunate the maintenance staff struggle. I’d recommend on the basis the maintenance issues were a one off issue.

We stayed at the Jumeirah for our Umrah trip. Our room was fantastic but we were so appalled by the dining service and quality of food. At breakfast, the service is terrible. The staff are unfriendly and unhelpful and the people behind the live food stations need to smile like the gentleman on the egg station. I asked 5 times for a karak chai from the start of entering the breakfast until the end; I was there for 1.5 hours and every single person I asked was unable to get me the karak. They kept ignoring and disappearing. In the end I had to remind the waiters how long I had been waiting only to be told it had run out. I was waiting for a very long time just to be told this! In the end someone did get me the karak but it was so hard to just ask for something so simple. Also every day at breakfast the tables are not set out with the cuttlery and napkins missing. Every time I ask someone for some cutlery as there isn’t any on the table and it doesn’t get replaced but again we are always ignored and have many times helped ourselves to cutlery from other tables or the station where staff store the cutlery. We got very tired of the service here and it definitely doesn’t live up to the standards of other 5 star hotels (except the hotel and room itself). The staff are very unhelpful and the kitchen staff are awful. Having come from a hospitality background, there needs to be more structure in your kitchen and managers need to stop prioritising specific tables. All guests should be treated the same. We came to the buffet dinner and we’re looking forward to a lovely meal however the food was absolutely awful quality. The lamb shoulder was so over cooked and dry. We have never tasted anything quite like it. I have attached a picture to show the quality. It was inedible. There were literally no staff at any of the service stations. We wanted some of the grilled meat and chicken and we had searched for someone to serve it to us and he took one handful of it and put it on our plates. That is not an adequate protein portion. The portion was enough to fit a tablespoon of meat. The options were so poor. Again, no table service and no napkins and cutlery. We had to keep asking for things that should have been there. We didn’t even have water bottles and the table next to us had 5 water bottles for 2 people. We were really looking forward to the dinner but it was the worst buffet we have been to for a five star hotel. Nothing was fresh and the dessert selection was terrible too. Definitely nothing 5 star about it. The pastry was old and stale and very sweet without any flavour. It’s such a shame at such a high price which does not reflect any quality at all. We were so disappointed with the stay. We were hoping to return later this year with our family but we will have to find another hotel as this is hotel is not at the standard to bring our family to. Your location, decor, room size are amazing but your customer service and quality of food really lets you down. It is such a shame as we were really looking forward to staying here again. Best, Umar Raza

We stayed for a week. Overall, it was a decent experience although ultimately overpriced during Umrah. The room was relatively small. We were able to add a third guest at a cost of 300 riyals per night which was reasonable but only a bunk bed was offered and it took the minimal space available. The bathroom sink was clogged during our entire stay despite repetitive requests made to the cleaning staff and on the Bonvoy Marriott app. The food experience is however terrible! Iftar at the restaurant is extremely overpriced for 250 riyals per person and unjustified for a food of poor quality and not tasty at that. The scheduling was also hectic. Iftar was only from 7 to 9 pm and Sohour from 1 to 3 am; meaning if one wanted to attend Taraweeh, they would not be able to eat by the time they came back from the Mosque and would have to wait until 1 am to sustain themselves, which is ridiculous. We were therefore eating at the coffeeshop reception which was offering a buffet for 100 riyals per person, which was still overpriced for what it was. Only a few items were offered and not replenished.

Nice hotel near the haram..and excellent room service. Very helpfull and kind staff. Good service. Also good foodNice and clean accomodations. Thanks kawsar.shuttle service is excellent.value for money. Highly recommendable hotel.

Two nights stay was just great; attentive but not intrusive staff made the difference. Miss Nehal and her colleagues at the reception, management and restaurants are among the best Marriot brands staff I have ever seen. Arrived too early for the usual check in but was treated in the best way with minimum waiting and an upgrade. The location near the HARAM is just great and the view from the 21st floor restaurant is awesome Wide variety of delicious food at breakfast and dinner time with highly courteous staff and good looking smiling faces every where . Some facelift is needed in the rooms though Thank you all Dr A Hawwari Titanium member

I came on time of check in unfortunately my room wasn’t ready and I waited on lobby more than 1 hour without any progress and after that time manager finally came and give me other room , also I got surprised they have a renovation!! and was very noisy while I booked the hotel thru Trip.com they didn’t notice me about that !!

I must commend the hotel for maintaining the highest standards of service over the many years (20) I have been staying there on business. A lot of this is down to the dedication and attention to detail provided by the staff - especially those who have loyally worked in the hotel for years. I want in particular to highlight the personal attention and service that Mr Aslam provides not just to me but to every customer. He is a real ambassador for the hotel. A star!

Great hotel but we were late to check in and I didn't get my room until 4:40, and the second room was 5:15 unfortunately My daughter's sleeping schedule was messed up with her canine tooth and she was upset Also the fridge was broken and I asked them to fix it but no one came Other than that it's my favorite hotel because of its connection to Red Sea Mall, location, cleanliness and comfort, thank God

Hotel staff were nice and accommodating. The hotel was little outdated for my liking and wasn't too keen on the room amenities. The location was good and I enjoyed the 93rd National day festive celebrations.

Rooms are spacious and clean. Service at the hotel is great, everyone is ready to help. Food: Chef Mo’men makes sure you get your omelets as preferred and they are always great! The breakfast has a wide variety of foods. They did make a few changes in the offered food over the course of our stay which made the buffet better. The staff at the restaurant are so welcoming and helpful; they welcome kids also with a big smile. They also provide kids high chair with special utensils for kids to enjoy their breakfast with the family. We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel!

We had some problems in the beginning but the manager came and he was very kind and solved it all and even compensated us for the trouble. Very good hotel, amazing view and I recommend to be part of the Marriot club (Bonvoy) so then you can have special treats.

Great stay at this hotel. Second time I stayed here. Clean and fresh looking. All staff were friendly, attentive and prompt. Especially those in the hotel restaurant. Staff arranged rooms to be next to each other so my family were together.

I originally booked a smoking room. When I went to the counter, I specifically asked for a smoking room. After packing my luggage and leaving the room, I discovered that there was a no-smoking notice posted at the door. I was dumbfounded. I went to the counter and told me that I wanted to change rooms and that I had to wait. We could wait until we came back in the evening and then change rooms. When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I went to the front desk and told them that I wanted to change rooms. They said that we should go back to the room to unpack our luggage and then call the lobby. There will be service staff to guide us to change to the smoking room. As a result, I took him to the front desk and told him that I was ready to change rooms. However, Shi Shenhai had to go to the front desk to ask. The front desk also said that they didn't know. It was really Rashomon. Maybe I speak an alien language and no one can understand it. Waiting until the morning of check-out, I called to ask what time check-out was. The counter was talking nonsense and I didn't know what time check-out was. Is it so difficult to just say what time to check out? For such a famous star-rated hotel, the reception desk is not as good as that of the small hotel next door (I stayed in a two-bedroom, two-living-and-two-bathroom hotel next door a minute's walk away last night for a cheap price, and there was no problem communicating with the front desk). I was really dumbfounded. The hotel facilities are good, but the cleanliness of the toilet and shower is not good, and the lights in the room are not bright enough. There is really a communication barrier at the counter. It’s ridiculous.

It was a legendary experience Wisam our was sooo helpful with supporting us with everything we need, he went beyond to make sure we have what we need I relay enjoyed there sirves I highly recommend the Shirvan hotel for hosting an event. I will be back for sure

The staff were all friendly and the facilities were all good. The only thing I was disappointed about was that the water pressure was a bit weak. The food wasn't bad either. Overall, it was good^^

I stayed here November. Som Prasad Gurum and his two housekeeping colleagues looked after us on the first floor. Always cleaned our room well and stayed respectful of the guests. Would go above and beyond for our comfort and cleanliness. Good communication and understanding and worked fast. Thank you
