l was disappointed with the experience, which felt more akin to a 4-star hotel. My room was directly beneath another undergoing construction, causing significant noise. Additionally, the cleanliness was subpar, as the bedding was quite dusty. Despite raising these issues, I received only an apology and no compensatory gesture. I hope this feedback prompts a review of your service standards.

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 One dislike: Hotel feels a little outdated.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!
