I was very happy to book at Al Shahba Hotel and the high-class treatment at the reception.. The employee Anhar was very nice in dealing and told us about the restaurants around the hotel and the grocery store. The location is excellent and is 20 minutes from the airport. She also brought us an extra blanket upon request. The bed is beautiful and the mattress and pillows are excellent. Only there is a smell coming from the sink and I think that the hotel is renovated but the pipes are not good.. We stayed for one night only because our plane will leave at nine in the morning. A room and a lounge for 350 riyals is an excellent price.
I’m shocked, firstly they gave us a room on the 9 th floor which was rotted to the core (pictures will be provided). Then they gave us another room renovated said by Riyan, he was helpful. The luggage took an hour coming up. Unusual to see, one of my luggage was opened and the lock was inside the suitcase. When I complained, Mr Faisal was most helpful and said he will have the cctv cameras checked. And didn’t get back with me so after hours I spoke to the night manager he said we viewed the cameras, no one had opened the luggage. And in the morning when I asked to view the CCTV footage they said no! It seemed a dull answer! So I got in touch with the Movenpick hotel where we stayed a night too, they still said get a report from the police station and you’re welcome to see the footage! As the last picture we had of the suitcase was taken to show to the uber to show how many pieces we have in that picture it was clearly showed the lock is on! Then in Movenpick we did not open that suitcase and moved to Pullman. Now calling Pullman they kept referring calls, as I explained to the one who I spoke with if Movenpick said it’s okay to view the cctv after the police report, can I view your footage too! They kept refer the call. So I ended up reporting the incident to the Embassy. If this incident has happened to anyone go as far as the headquarters of Pullman, and report it to the Embassy. I’m quite shocked, nothing was taken seriously..! Take care of your luggage please!!!! Regardless it’s locked. The Asian staff are not to be trusted.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Swissotel Makkah, and overall, it was a truly comfortable and memorable experience.
Check-in Experience:
The check-in process was smooth and the staff was warm and welcoming. However, due to the standard 4 PM check-in time, there were long queues at the reception. To avoid this congestion, I recommend contacting the hotel in advance to arrange for early check-in, especially during peak seasons. If you’re an Accor member, the experience is even more seamless and rewarding.
Ambiance & Cleanliness:
From the moment you step into the hotel lobby, you’re greeted with a signature scent that flows throughout the lobby, corridors, and even into the guestroom — creating a consistent sense of calm and cleanliness. The ambiance is elegant and tranquil, offering a relaxing contrast to the bustling surroundings outside.
Guestroom Experience:
The room was spacious, well-maintained, and the highlight was definitely the breathtaking Kaaba view, which added a deeply spiritual and unique element to the stay. The bed linens were soft and luxurious, ensuring restful sleep. The air conditioning was perfectly calibrated, providing a refreshing escape from the intense heat outside. It made re-entering the room after a long day feel rejuvenating.
The room also came equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay: coffee and tea facilities, quality toiletries, and other thoughtful amenities.
Hotel Accessibility:
A significant advantage of Swissotel Makkah is its location in the Abraj Clock Tower. Unlike many other hotels in the same complex, the lobby is on the ground floor, which means guests can access the rooms directly without switching elevators — a huge plus in terms of convenience.
Service & Flexibility:
The staff went above and beyond by offering us a late check-out while we waited for our continued stay at Swissotel Al Maqam. This thoughtful gesture truly elevated the experience and showed their commitment to guest comfort.
Final Thoughts:
Swissotel Makkah combines comfort, excellent service, and unmatched convenience, particularly for pilgrims and visitors seeking proximity to the Haram. Whether it’s the luxurious bed, the iconic view, or the little details that enhance your stay, this hotel delivers on all fronts. I would not hesitate to recommend it and look forward to staying here again.
2 night stay for our first time at this hotel. So let's start with check-in. Not great. Just 2 members of staff, who didn't seem to be working particularly quickly through guests who were queuing up. Took about 25mins wait, which is not what you want.
The room itself, a junior suite, with one king bed and one separate seating area, was by and by clean, but this may just be down to the fact it is not regularly booked, so underused and not worn out as much.
The fixtures and fittings definitely could do with some refurbishment and upgrades. Mattress had no give and felt like a plank of wood, and the pillows were similar. The sofa was uncomfortable and sagged, as were the 2 small chairs, no cushions also. The curtains in both the seating room and the bedroom were on a pulley system which refused to budge and we're half open and couldn't be moved. Another fault we had to call down for was the actual wall/ceiling area on top of the main room door. The door would not close easily and needed a great big hard shove to close. On exiting I noticed that the plaster and wall around was cracking and the whole door frame was cracking. The reception staff sent a carpenter who came to look and said they would need to send a plasterer the next day. Needless to say no-one else turned up and the fault was still outstanding at the end of our stay. Neither did the cleaning staff hoover or brush up the growing pile of plaster and dust which accumulated each time the door was opened and closed.
Another bugbear of the room was the soundproofing, or better put, lack of any soundproofing whatsoever. We were subject to noise from the next door room all night, conversations and television sound coming through whilst trying to sleep. In the adjacent seating area, there was actually a great big gap in the wall by the window frame which allowed light and sound from the neighbours on the other side to come through. Very disconcerting.
The WiFi was woefully slow, to the point that we couldn't even load the qr code for the hotel services.
The shuttle service, if you could call it that, seemed kind of pointless if you're able bodied. It was quicker to walk. Literally a one minute ride on the way out.
My child was sick in the night and we needed a change of sheets for the bed. It took 2 phonecalls and then being put on hold and waiting 20mins, by which time I physically send down to reception to see what was going on.
There was supposedly a kids club on Floor H, which also houses the gym, but it was abandoned and was a bare room.
Ok let's put down something positive. The fridges in the room actually worked. The television sets were brand new slimline Samsung. But, annoyingly the actual channels and TV signal were not great. The lifts were fairly clean, if somewhat slow depending which set you were using. My wife commented that the reception area toilets were the cleanest she had ever come across and had attendants on hand to clean.
The car parking charge is also annoying, you'd think it would be free for guests or cheaper than the close to 75sar daily charge.
Access available cheap local food eateries, but may not be suitable for delicate constitutions. There are also a few shops in the hotel lobbies complex, selling clothes, prayer accessories etc along with a small mini mart for basic necessities, along with the obligatory barber shop and overpriced coffee shop/cafe.
Would we stay again? Possibly, due to location being not too far from the Haram and relatively budget friendly price. Would not recommend for older or disabled travellers as it would be challenging to get to the Holy Mosque even if using the shuttle bus. Just be prepared for a noisy stay, so bring ear plugs if you don't want to know exactly what your room neighbours talk about during the night.
Great hotel with all amenities. Well equipped Gym and a decent size pool. Staff are pleasant and always ready to help. The only downside is pool closes at 6pm. In my opinion it should be open for a while later due to the heat outside especially in the hotter months

I recently had the pleasure of staying at elaf kinda and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and impeccable service.
What truly set this hotel apart was the exceptional staff. Every team member went above and beyond to ensure my stay was seamless, always ready to assist with a genuine smile. Their professionalism and dedication to guest satisfaction were remarkable.
The location was also ideal—conveniently situated near Alharam yet offering a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle.
Overall, my experience at elaf kinda exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and memorable stay. I can’t wait to return!
I recently stayed here for my first Umrah, and this hotel truly made the experience so much more comfortable. As anyone who has performed Umrah knows, it can really take a toll on your body, and having a place to rest properly is essential to regain the energy to pray in the best manner. This hotel gave me that comfort.
The staff were very kind and friendly, always ready to help. The shuttle service to and from Haram every half an hour was a blessing—it made life much easier and saved us from the hassle of dealing with local taxis. Honestly, I’m not someone who enjoys bargaining, and some taxi drivers will charge whatever they can get away with. For example, one driver quoted me 70 riyals to return to my hotel, while the Careem app showed the same trip for only 18 riyals! Thankfully, I avoided being ripped off, but the shuttle service spared me from this stress altogether.
Overall, I was very happy with my stay. The hotel played a big role in making my first Umrah smooth and comfortable, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for convenience, kindness, and peace of mind during such a blessed journey.
The hotel shuttle service was great and it moved on time. We stayed at 9th floor and housekeeper guy was so kind and smiley. There is mosque in front of hotel that was also awesome. The only problem that I had was to reach to hotel by phone before I arrive there. Lastly, the gym is out of service now. It is not a big issue but a remark.
Very Good

GGuest UserReally worse experience at front desk while checking in, they were unable to find my booking and made us to wait for around hour at reception. They asked me to contact Trip.com which did and booking was already confirmed. After nearly an hour waiting, front desk finally found my booking but I had spent extra £ to make phone calls to trip.com
MMarziraHotel Review: Raffles Makkah Palace
My recent stay at Raffles Makkah Palace was absolutely outstanding, offering a seamless blend of luxury, thoughtful touches, and exceptional service that made our experience unforgettable.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the reception team and delighted with a complimentary upgrade upon check-in. The upgraded room was not only spacious with breathtaking views but also impeccably clean and beautifully maintained, reflecting the hotel’s high standards.
A special thank you to the reception manager, whose professionalism and welcoming demeanor made the check-in process smooth and set a positive tone for our stay. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring our satisfaction were truly appreciated.
One of the thoughtful touches that enhanced our experience was the provision of bath salts, allowing us to unwind and relax after completing Umrah. It was a small but meaningful gesture that added to the overall sense of care.
The service throughout the hotel was exceptional. The housekeeping team was proactive, consistently checking in to ensure we had enough towels, toiletries, and other essentials, contributing significantly to our comfort.
Breakfast was another highlight of our stay. The breakfast service team was attentive and welcoming, ensuring we were comfortable and well taken care of. They even provided a walk-around tour of the buffet spread, introducing us to the menu and explaining the dishes. The breakfast theme was thoughtfully curated, offering a wide range of delicious options to suit every palate.
Desta and Sandhy stood out for their exceptional hospitality. They were incredibly helpful, attentive, and proactive in anticipating our needs, making us feel truly valued as guests. Hajar also deserves special recognition for her patience and creativity in resolving our requests with practical and thoughtful solutions.
The in-room dining team, especially Farouk, provided excellent service. Farouk’s attentiveness and efficiency ensured that every meal was delivered promptly and with care, enhancing our overall experience.
Raffles Makkah Palace sets the gold standard for luxury hospitality. With its outstanding service, thoughtful gestures, and exceptional team, it made our stay unforgettable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Makkah and look forward to returning for another incredible stay.

NNurAs per previous review. For this booking, thanks to Mr Haitam for assissting me. I got a room near to the lift. Thank you so much 🙂 On average, i waited less than 1 minute for the lift. Extra 2-5minutes from the hotel to reach Kudi bus station by the shuttle bus. 6-8minutes walk from Kudi bus station to the mosque. Going back from the mosque to the hotel takes a bit longer time during peak hours. Overall, i highly recommend this hotel.
Hhahahahahahathis hotel was conveniently located next to masjid alharam & clock towerand easily found. the rooms were large, comfortable & well-equipped with necessary amenities. the staff were friendly and helpful & we appreciated the late check-out. The rooms were clean, very comfortable & the lift was super fast. the food for breakfast so yummy with arabic etc dishes. we're very happy with our stay for long hajj & umrah season & highly recommend this hotel for anyone

AAnonymous user 1I’m shocked, firstly they gave us a room on the 9 th floor which was rotted to the core (pictures will be provided).
