The hotel offers well-equipped rooms just a minute away from the Haram, but some aspects like small size and lack of natural light could be improved. The service was fantastic and very helpful, making my stay enjoyable. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the Haram. The dining experience was average, with limited options. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were very pokey and noisy, with a shower that wouldn't drain properly and overall felt cramped and unclean. On the positive side, the service was welcoming and the staff, especially at reception and during breakfast, were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, being close to the clock towers and various restaurants, but there were some issues with facilities like the TV not working. The dining experience was mediocre and overpriced, missing variety and quality. Overall, a mixed experience that had its share of positives and negatives.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The compact room I booked was just right for me, and the value for money was excellent. The room showed some wear and tear, but it had a unique feature of having a speaker for live Azan and Imam's qirat during prayers. The cleanliness could be improved a bit, but overall, it was acceptable.

The service was a mix of ups and downs. While I had a bit of trouble getting to the hotel and had to walk a few hundred meters, the staff went out of their way to help me with my luggage.

The hotel's location was amazing, just a few minutes' walk away from the Haram. It's perfect for those wanting easy access to the Haram, being very close and convenient.

The hotel's location is a standout feature, being very close to the Kaaba and offering value for money. The room I stayed in had no natural light, was quite small, and faced the backside, making it dark most of the time. However, the helpful staff at reception and during meals made my stay enjoyable. The dining options were subpar, with limited fresh ingredients, and the breakfast wasn't included in my booking. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel's prime location near the Haram and good eateries added to its appeal.

The hotel is conveniently close to Haram Al Nabawai and offers easy access to shopping and dining options nearby. The rooms can be a bit challenging for family members with mobility issues due to the compact furniture arrangements, although they come with all the necessary amenities. The service is friendly and accommodating overall, but there may be delays in providing alternative options, especially for guests with specific needs. The location is excellent for its proximity to the Haram and nearby attractions but may face traffic challenges during peak times. Dining options are average and lack variety, particularly for a 5-star establishment.

The hotel is very close to Haram with just a 2-minute walk, making it convenient for prayer attendance. While the rooms were small and had a bad smell due to shared beds, the proximity to the Haram is a significant advantage. The service had its ups and downs with a professional handling of issues by staff but also instances of slow service and data entry errors. The dining options were not very versatile, limiting choices for guests from different backgrounds.
