Saudi Arabia hotels & accommodations
Pros: Close to the haram. This hotel complex is the closest to the wheelchair ramp that leads to the first floor mataf and to the mezannine floor mataf. The best part of this hotel is that its not as crowded as the clock tower. It takes 10 minutes from your room and into the haram mataf. Cons: There is a door in between the rooms. If you neighbour is loud or smokes, al...
I stayed with my young kids for a night and had a great overall experience. Pros: Very helpful staff, prompt on addressing any complaint ( I had one, which was handled instantly), very clean and best wrt value for money.Despite of waiting for couple of hours, allowed to check in at 2:30 pm, which is I :30 hrs. earlier than their normal check - in timings. Cons: On the ...
Everything is amazing, quick check-In, supportive staff, Housekeeping staff and maintenance staff visits your room quickly if any assistance required. Only issue is Potter needs to move luggage from other side of the road, because its near to Haram due to which most of the time road has been closed by Saudi security forces. Overall its a good experience.
We booked a two night stay through Agoda in a family room with four beds at the Anwar Al Madinah Moevenpick Hotel in August this year. Check in was quick, efficient and friendly. Room was lovely and clean and beds were comfortable. AC was cool, thankfully. Loved the colour tones of brown and grey decor – calming. From our room, we could catch a side view of the entran...
No issues, the staff are very friendly and the hotel is the best ever. Buffet breakfast is Saudi royal buffet haha. Very good stay and no issues. Only thing they give u 1 bottle per person in a day which is low since its hot and you get thirsty. Overall loved my stay and would come back for sure. Reception guy Aram is awesome and very helpful.
It can easily be the best for the price if following things are taken care of: 1. No of shuttles. 2 during the day and 1 at night is a low noumber considering the requirements around prayers' time. 2. Maintenance. A. checking in at 6 pm and still rooms were not fully ready.B. A/C control in one out of two rooms malfunctioning and required an hour with the technician...
Location was great especially for women, you only pass two streets to reach gate 25. Rooms are clean, in room dining is affordable and food is above saudi standarts. The only negative point is the check in hour 16:00 and it was almost 17:00 when we check into our room
Awsome service with early check in at 11 am and late checkout at 3 pm, reasonable breakfast, clean nice beds twin queen beds with room view to Haram, best for value at the time I booked during busy weekend. Nice staff welcoming team. Amazing elevators smart! I was at the 25th floor and immediately locating right lift after pressing button and in few seconds there it i...
This hotel is the best. The location is amazing it's close to ladies gate at harem and mens only, only 100 meters away. And close to all shop's and restaurants. The best part is the hotel staff. I booked the hotel by mistake on wrong dates when I arrived there I found out at the checkin counter. The person at the counter told me I will have to change the dates my se...
This is one of the best hotel in Saudi Arabia. It was really pleasant surprise to see excellent behavior of a person in reception. Only issue is that they put the bed foot direction towards Kabaa and that should be mandatory for the hotels to set the bed not in the direction of Kabbaa
- Check in and Check out process was very simple and swift. - Location is excellent very close to Masjid Al Nabawi 3-4 minutes walking distance (Gate 7). - Best place to stay with family. - Staff was very courteous specially Sagar Hussain (1st floor). - Had parking problem No parking available at hotel, you can park inside Underground Haram Car park parking 3A, 4A ...
Good: Location (5 minutes to Masjid-el-Nabwi) Women pray area door 25-26. room service (must be asked each day), ease of booking, baggage collection Bad: Internet, Saudi staff don't understand english and very little Urdu so they would act frustrated all times, I extended the checkout time and paid 100 Riyal for same but they didn't entered it correctly in the system ...
Car Parking was charged separately @ 250 saudi riyals for One Day. Moreover a declaration form was given stating that in case of theft or fire or damage to vehicle, no one can be made liable for damages. Owner is responsible for damage of car, while car is driven by staff to some unknown parking place. For getting the car back one has to call 2 hours before the checkou...
Working in Saudi and Always stay at Elaf Bakkah. I have never been disappointed. Excellent service from the time you step into the hotel.
It was astonishing that there was no creamer available with coffee and when asked for it it was told that in Saudi Arabia its not used and this was told to me first time after spending 2 years here and also remained frequent visitor of Makkah and Medina
Its a brand new hotel.. still not fully equipped (April 2014) but the rooms and bathrooms are clean and beautiful. . Breakfast was one of the best. . In room dining was expensive compared to other 5 star facilities. . Would stay there again if had the chance
Top notch- breakfast was the best i’ve ever tasted in Saudi so far- really good quality spread. Only drawback was that wifi internet was very patchy in rooms, n rooms were cleaned only in d evening (guess understandable as it was high season)
This is my favorite hotel I keep booking every time I go to Madina. The professionalism of employees usually reflects back to the hotel reputation which makes me com here again and again. I congrats this hotel for having Miss. Hodun as one of the front desk team. I can conclude my experience with Pulman hotel in just one sentence which is “Wonderful rooms, services, a...
The guys at reception were very rude. They were telling us to wait for an hour even after the published checkin time in order to have a room. Moreover, our card key was not working. And when we went to the reception to renew the key, the guys was consistently speaking arabic and said very rudely "You are in Saudi Arabia, you should speak English, not Arabic". In short...
It was very good for us nice and clean for saudi 5* standard outside food was near.
I have been to the hotel for check in at 2:00 pm but no one helped for early check in. After 2 hours the Agoda Agent from Hong Kong called me and informed that the hotel has sent an email to upgrade me to another 5 star hotel. Once i check with hotel staff and they confirmed that want to send me to another location for checking in. Again it took another hour for explan...
Best location, valuable for money and very good for family relaxation
this is one of the best hotel I've stayed in makkah very close to Haram near the new extension. this is my 2nd stay in anjum and I must say both times the experience has been wonderful. the service provided by staff is outstanding. The staff are very caring . breakfast buffet is very good maybe on of the best, all the good served is made with care, unlike the makkah ...
I stayed for 5 nights and on 2 different occasions I had to go to the reception to have my room keycards re-activated - there was no apology and no explanation for why both keycards stopped working (they were kept separate from each other and away from mobile phones which sometimes affects these cards). On my day of check-out I called the reception to enquire about the...
This hotel was very pleasant surprise. I’d say the standard of the hotel by European standards is 4 stars or maybe even 4+. Marble bathroom floor to ceiling, very comfortable beds, flatscreen TV, tea making facilities, fridge, broadband for free, excellent free bathroom products, seating area and coffee table, Safe, ironing board and iron, and even a weighing scale, ...
This hotel is like gem specially for proximity to women area of mosque. One can visit your room frequently to rest or freshen up after ibadah. There are few down site as below: * Check-in process was a bit lengthy * Parking Entrance is a bit small for SUV cars. * Parking space is limited and less for peak season like ramzon. If you checking in on thursday evening or F...
most of all the facilities good, room is ok, locationver y near to Al-Haram, easy to find a food court, but only one thing that i really bad to said that the document for check in is too complicated, since for hajj our passport was taken by saudi government, so we don't know that we have to prepare our copy visa, we only prepare our copy passport like in other country ...
Stayed three nights while performing Umrah. Very clean and modern facility. Did find an English speaking person in the check-in counter. Room was clean and nice with all the amnesties expected from a 4 star hotel. Daily cleaning was also available. Overall, everyone liked the hotel. Moderate 15 minutes walking distance from the Haraam. Last hundred yards or so to the ...
This is the best 5 star hotel I have stayed at in Makkah. It is modern and clean with a surprisingly good customer service (something very rare in Saudi Arabia!) -Very good breakfast -Beautiful prayer room/mosque overlooking the ka'bah. My wife really enjoyed praying here when she couldn't go to the haram because of our young children. -Also, children under 7 sta...
Cheap places to stay in Saudi Arabia
Location was good, parking availability was good, staffs were nice and value for money. Will recommend to my friends and family.
It was nice. However, the hotel is located near Marwah. There is a bus but brings you to Haram only during the prayers. One has to park on the right side of the road (else you would get a ticket).
pretty ordinary low budget hotel, big rooms but not at all maintained. no soap, towels. not ideal place for families
After all good service but customer executive should recommend all the services what they have..
not recommended. one thing though.. the staff is 4/5
Thanks
Good
4 pm was the check in time but the staff there made me wait for 1 & half hour . Even during check our time the Saudi staff was rude and refused to give me the bill for my stay . I booked a double room but they were convincing me to take a single room This shows no respect to the customers . Room service was good. The front desk staff were very rude and below expectati...
Location is best Hotel is clean Bus station is near 15 min walk to haram Due to hajj season daily house keeping was not provide but upon request it was provided We had some issue regarding room so the manager was kind enough to change our room
When i want to check in,they said my name not in the list from agoda and when i want use hotel from hotel to call agoda,they dnt allowed it and ask me to call by myself.After everything settled, i can checkin. I book for 6 day n after 3 day,the hotel ask me to check out because they said i only booking for 3 day only. Again,i call agoda to solve this stupid problem.
I booked and paid for this hotel in advance and when I arrived they didn't even have a computer to look for my booking. I had to call to agoda but the reception guy cant speak english at all. after calling his manger 4 times they allowed me to entire my room ! which was very basic old room. in the last day a guy knocked my door and ask me if he can stay with me which w...
الشقق تحتاج صيانة الشقق قدية جدا تحتاج صيانة اسلاك الكهرباء و دورة المياه و مواصير المياه و الابواب و صبغ الجدران لتصبح مقبولة. العييري صاحب خبرة في الشقق المفروشة لا بد ان يلتفت لهذا شكرا
Hotel staff are nice and cooperative. They serve their guests to their level best.
It’s brand new great hotel
Cockroaches, filthy bed sheets and really nasty place. Didn't dare to sleep there. Most horrible place I have ever seen.
Brilliant hotel with cheap price.
Nice hotel for low cost. The only issue is that it is on a hill, but the guy comes and picks up in a golf cart.
القيمة فقط انه رخيص ، ومكانه نوعًا ما جيد ، لكن المبنى قديم مافي اي خدمة للتنظيف ، الانترنت ضعيف جدًا ، المخدات غير مريحة . الغرفة اللي اعطوني اياها مافيها اي شي فقط اسرة وكنب ، ما جابوا غلاية ماء الا لما طلبت ، لا يوجد حتى حوض لغسيل الاواني او حتى مطبخ تحضير صغير . يا رجل حتى طاولة ف الصالة تحط اغراضك عليها مافي . لا تجي هنا الا لو ما لقيت مكان غير هذا او مسترخص .
Not cleaning, there was a lizard , no cups , no kettle , no microwave , it’s 100% bad
I face difficulty of location because GPS shown wrong location even wrong telephone number i could reach to the location . after i checked another hotel and finally after 4 hours i reached to the location. Best Regards, Rizwan Vadnagerwala.
Hotel is good and clean, Staff is very polite and helpful, 12 minutes walk to Masjid Al Haram No buses on the way Taxi taking 5 to 10 sar to Masjid Mr. Shahid is very nice, polite and helpful man on counter, Shared kitchen, all rooms wifi but very slow, tea maker, cleanliness, free water for all over all very good hotel.
Room is clean, with own mini kitchen, mini fridge and a plasma tv, so its a nice one. Bathroom is clean and also the room but I hope give atleast two bath towels. A little far from the stores and fastfood chains. But its really nice the over all room. Just the staff... when we asked to fix the signal of the tv... they said yes. But when we came back and asked if its fi...
I booked hotel from 22/03/2018 until 24/03/2018. I already mentioned that i will arrive at 6am on 23/03/2018 but when i meet with receptionist. They informed us that there is no KEY available as you booked through online. You have to wait until 2pm. I had to stay until 10 am then they provide key after long discussion with management. Also shuttle service was not good ...
Well you know what you're looking for when you visit batha you're looking for the beast deals at the market its near by most of the main markets and it's a few blocks from the Filipino market the hotel mainly is fine not that bad it's old but every thing is working fine the wash room tho is the main problem it smells at times well what old hotel doesn't so I suggest to...
Dirty hotel. Dirty room and bathroom. Staff unfriendly, as in most of the hotels in Saudi Arabia.
The bed is damage , not all light is working
It was ok,the behavior of the staff member and service boy at reception was unethical. Internet is very weak.
The staff did not know English so it was extremely difficult to communicate. The walk to the Haram was a mission going up and down a long steep hill. There was only one place to eat nearby which you had to run across the dual carriage to get too. The rest of the food places were around a 10 minutes walk. There was a grocery shop in a nearby hotel otherwise you also had...
If you have a car to get to the Haram, I would recommend this place. Best Value in the city. I loved the way they treated me and my family!!!!!😘
4-star hotels in Saudi Arabia
Everything is amazing, quick check-In, supportive staff, Housekeeping staff and maintenance staff visits your room quickly if any assistance required. Only issue is Potter needs to move luggage from other side of the road, because its near to Haram due to which most of the time road has been closed by Saudi security forces. Overall its a good experience.

I had a lovely time there and breakfast was amazing. The place itself and the staff were very friendly. I definately will recommend most of my friends who travel to Saudia Arabia and have a plan to stay in Jeddah then they can stay at Red Sea Palace.
The hotel were booked for a night just to try once during Ramadan on May 26, 2018! The buses from Hotel to Haram (Ghazza Parking) is an option but takes about 10 - 15 min. and return is 5 - 10 min. There was no Tea or Coffee and Water bottles in the room, upon asked several time they just provide few tea bags with sugar only. The kettle was leak and high risk of elect...
Great Location. Clean and comfortable but small Rooms. Suits best for Business Travellers. Best part is the Staff, very Friendly especially at the reception.
Save your money and stay at Fraser Suits. I lost 1 hour negotiations about wrong room they set me up with it but finally I got a suite bigger than my reservation, breakfast for too and check out at 3. They actually care about their reputation and capable to let you feel comfortable. The executive 1 BD suite was amazing. It’s overlook Faisaliah tower and I believe it wa...
First Agoda screwed me up by charging wrong; the hotel says the Tax is not included but the Agoda said the price is all inclusive!!! Waited almost 45 minutes at counter. The Agoda Saudi Customer Service Number kept me on hold for whole life and I had to disconnect the call with out talking to any agent & not resolving my issue. At the Hotel, the front desk staff Mr. F...
One of the best stay in Madinah. The hotel is not far from Gate 15 of Masjid Nabawi. I travelled with 2 elderly who need to use wheelchair and the hotel has ample wheelchair to cater for their guests. The room is spacious, clean comfortable bed and good working air-conditioning. The staffs are polite, can speak decent English, and quick to respond. The cafe pro...
Had an issue with a taxi driver demanding more money on an agreed price which turned ugly. When reaching the hotel, the 2 gentlemen at the counter helped me to solve it. Words can't describe how much I appreciated their calm and helpfulness. The hotel is right on Olaya street, only a a few hundred meters away from Kingdom Centre. The room was clean and spacious. For t...
Location is good and quiet. Clean rooms. They have an excellent indoor swimming pool. The trainer at swimming pool and health centre was very helpful and supportive. He is the best👍. Check-in was a little bit slow.
Hotel was all the way towards the left of other hotel on the 3rd row of hotel. 2-3 mins to haram so quite close by. Rooms were of decent size and beds were comfortable. Breakfast/suhoor was decent but not great for a 5 star rated hotel. Breakfast area is too small and overcrowded. Not enough place to walk. Only 1 egg station with 2 pans with sooo many people queuing up...
As soon as we arrived we were told that we have not made payment although we booked via agoda and paid, we were waiting around for 3 hours trying to deal with this at last we were told that they have received the paynent but due to checking in late we have to pay for one day, eventually we were given our rooms. Hotel is spacious, sehri is nice, location is about 4-5min...
Check-in - initially, counter staff claimed there was no booking. But after re-checking for 2nd time, then he confirmed it. Room - Superb & spacious. Staff Amir did excellent job during each day room make up. Breakfast - same menu everyday but there were variety of choices. Laundry - 50% discount. Wonderful. Lift/Elevator - there were only 3 or 4 lifts operating at thi...
Beautiful hotel.. Very clean, comfortable and modern. Smells gorgeous! Free bus that takes you to haram and back which is great. You will be given a timetable at reception. Very happy and will definitely go bk if I go bk to Saudi.

My husband and I arrived at Dana Bay Resort reception at 3:45 PM, just in time for the resort's check-in which is at 4 PM. We waited for 3 hours before they checked us in (the only issue we had). We stayed in the upper floor of the Mahar chalet that was enormous for 2 people. It was clean, comfortable, and beyond what we expected. Nothing special with the breakfast buf...
i always choose park-inn al khobar for it's good location, great service, unbelievable prices when you book early.
This is the second time for me in this hotel They told me last time you book by calling us direct and u will get 20% disc. Then I call and I ask the price for 5 night and I check Agoda I find agoda is more cheap than hotel itself So I book by agoda They should fix AC problem in room always stop working in night And the coffee in lobby should learn how to make hot ...
Location is best Hotel is clean Bus station is near 15 min walk to haram Due to hajj season daily house keeping was not provide but upon request it was provided We had some issue regarding room so the manager was kind enough to change our room
Very nice and value for tour money, but i hope its a little cheaper!🤪
The management is quite polite and will respond to your queries. Only problem is the size of washroom shower which is a bit short especially to accommodate a fatty person. Otherwise, it is a good choice and market is also nearby. Bus service to Haram and back to hotel is also available.
Location was not clear at the time of booking, not suggested on the seasonal period, specially with children, you have to wait for the bus and also bus drops far from Haram. Hotel excellent Location Bad
I had the best stay with aloft. Clean room and really front desk employees were professional and polite. Thanks to all employees at aloft.
Breakfast buffet not there yet Lady spa not open yet Resturant also not open Serving of coffee on the beach not there
My stay was fantastic, when I first arrived at the hotel I was meant to get a standard room but the staff upgraded me to a suite which was awesome, I ask the staff what time is the check out they said 12pm but I forget to set my alarm for that instead I checked out late about 3pm and they welcomed me with a smile and not asking for extra charges... There's no reason fo...

this hotel is definitely the best in mecca!!! we booked a gorgeous suite with a separate living room with dining table and a fantastic bathroom, and you can see the kaaba clearly from the window. it was an amazing experience! and every single detail in the hotel is superior starting from the decoration of the room, well selected colors, the size of the suite, bed, staf...
I found difficulty in riding a car especially from 12am till 6:00 Am
Food was not as good as other 5 stars hotels. Location is great.
I was quite sceptical about the hotel as I had never been in Mecca. I had heard that the 5 star hotels within the vicinity of the masjid al haraam were just by name sake and that people were just paying extra for the location. In terms of Conrad, it had really taken me by surprise. It is by far, one of the best hotels that I have ever been to. The rooms was very clean ...
The place was great but we book it for 3 adults here and they said its for two only which make it difficult to deal with the staff and also to have our breakfast which was included for three
Alhamdulillah, this was my first umrah and definitely first time in the holy city of Mecca. We were in a group of seven and we were greeted with warm welcome at the entrance after approximately 2 hours journey from Jeddah (due to heavy traffic). We had one hiccup which 1 of three rooms booked from Agoda wasn't in their system. We checked in to the two rooms first. I wa...
One of the best .. Strategic location and perfect staff
Since all the big players are absent from Taif, I did what I dreaded the most and booked with a local brand hotel. I was shockingly pleased because it exceeded my expectations and by a mile. Great rooms, great services and the shipping centre is down under. I liked it.
It’s really nice place to live if you are in makkah for Umrah as it is very close to haram I live in tower 3. Staff is very helpful and very well trained to care guests and yes I am saying about non saudi staff in the hotel saudi staff is very lazy at prayer time lifts become very busy so if hotel can increase number of lifts that will be great plus and rest all ok
This is newly built 5 star hotel of Millennium Chain of Hotels. It has all facilities which you expect from any 5 star hotel. If you are coming to Makkah by car this hotel would be the best choice as it has free secured parking space for 200 cars. Per night rates are very less as compared to other 5 star hotels in Makkah and the reason is its location which is 2.3 kilo...
From room to the masjid is very fast (forecourt opposite gate 74) Most hotels fail to provide such a fast transfer here. Room was small and some parts of the room were worn out like the wooden cabinets and wooden bathroom sliding door (which surprised us- maybe they gave us a worn looking room because we had a discounted room through agoda? Who knows- but we still had...
The location is in Gate 1 of Masjidun Nabawi. One of a reception staff is amazing, we get a very welcoming treatment with Mr. Mezan. He serves with all his heart to make sure our stay is great. When we asked for Haram view room, he tried his best to fullfil it. Mr. Mezan,one of a treasure that Crowne Hotel has. Also Mr. Hasan, the reservation manager, tried his best w...
It is a nice hotel, the pool, the gym is the best hotel gym ever I found, I took half board with a nice dinner on the pool the dinner was sea food with good quality The breakfast is of good quality but with limited choices.
