Good hotel near to the woman enterance of al haram alnabawy There is free parking. Which helped a lot. The hotel facility is a bit old but ok. Check out time is very convenient ,I did after Zohr prayer. Elevator is a bit croudy before prayer time. Try to go early. Did not try the restaurant. In general it is recommended .

Bad experience overall
We stayed in hotel for 5 days on umrah trip. Check in was awefully slow with no english speaker at front desk. It took us 2 hrs to get a room. Pain didnt stop here, we were given room 827 which had a leak bath tub. Bath room floods in couple of hrs without being used. Housekeeping couldnt help finally got the room changed after a day. Elevators overly crowded and literally have to jump in the elevator as soon as it come else you will stand there waiting. Pros: it's close to women entrance and breakfast was decent.

Pay more or less and avoid this hotel
Rubbish WiFi I think the management should not advertise that they provide WiFi because it is a rubbish connection. During my 5 day stay half the lifts stop working. Best thing about this hotel is the location. I would pay more money to avoid this hotel.

Good Location but needs TLC
The reception was disappointing. Apparently there’s a new tax imposed by the government. I had to pay SAR 90.00 for two nights in top of the booking fees. The reception failed to convince me the amount of tax they charged since in Mecca for the previous two nights in a much better hotel I had paid only SAR 45.00. The elevators are a nightmare and the washroom very old and requires renovation. Conveniently located near gate 25/26 of the Prphet’s mosque, this hotel has a lot of potential but really needs some improvements in customer service.

Dear Mr. Saidul, Thank you for choosing Al Haram Hotel, we are sorry for any convenience that you faced during your previous stay at Al Haram Hotel, regarding the taxes as you know it's a percentage from the room rate according to the new regulations from government. regarding your comments about the elevators, we already signed a contract with Mitsubishi company and paid the deposit to replace all the hotel elevators but we will do this after Ramadan as the new elevators will reach us from abroad, looking forward to welcoming you again soon and we are sure that you will find better service. Thanks again for spending your time to write to us your comments. Best Regards,

Hotel is pretty close to Haram
Front desk takes forever to check in. There is no concept of lines, people just try to cut you off and show no patience. Rooms were clean but the hotel needs to be renovated. Elevator takes forever (about 10 mins) every time you try to get on - definitely needs some work. Breakfast was great, had good variety!

We selected this hotel due to closeness from gate 26. Everything else about the hotel was average. Bathroom was smelly. Overall, it would be acceptable hotel if they can fix the exhaust system for their bathrooms.

It's not a 4 star hotel. The front desk speak little to no English which was frustrating. The other hotel staff speaks Urdu. Hotel is close to gate 25/26 which easy for ladies entering Haram. If possible try and get Dallah Tabia, which right I front of gate 25 and is little better in terms service and cleanliness.

Not a '5' star hotel, needs a refurb urgently
At least 4 of the lifts were out of order for the whole duration of our stay, this exacerbated the situation as queues of people were waiting for lifts after each prayer. The room was not all clean had to instruct them to clean the room again. Breakfast was not a '5'star experience, more like a bed and breakfast. The shower in the bathroom is weak with water flow at the minimum. I will not be staying here again.

Overall my stay was ok but don't think I got value for money. I think the hotel requires an update from a condition perspective. The room carpet was worn out and the bathroom needs renovation. I couldn't get a decent enough wifi connection in the room so I had to go down in the lobby to use it. The location of the hotel was perfect only 5 mins walk to the Haram.
