Good value for money. Excellent location and helpful team, but rooms need updating.
Thought it is on walking distance from haram. But the size of room was too small bathroom was dirty, toweks were on ground , bed had weird sound ,bedsheets were dirtyAc was not cooling,staff were good but overall hotel was too old and dirty
amazing facility, i asked for late checkout and they were very accomodating. the bed was SUPER comfy and room super clean
only thing they can improve perhaps is may be consider changing sink of bathrooms - not dirty at all, but just had some crack in it. I am sure that is NOT the case every room.
Overall, I would love to stay here AGAIn. so convienant to shopping and musjid. LOVED IT.
Terrible. Location was great but everything else was worse than a 49.99 motel 6 room. The bathroom smelled like sewage.no towels, the bed had hair on it upon arrival the tv didn’t work. Had to beg for towels and sheets to be changed. One key card per room!!! Only thing going for it was the location!
Overall ok experience.
Room could have been more clean with bedsheets being looked old and used.
Crew was capable but more courteousness would have been good.
When we arrived they said we have no reservations no booking at at no breakfast very disappointed what we not recommended to other to book with Expedia
Reception staff is horrible. Rooms are stuffed. A lot of noise

The reception was horrible. The front staff treated us not well. This staff took very long time to take previous customer, but did not request me to wait. Basically told us to SIT in very loud voice. We confused and got cleared after sometime and finally got a room. Room service does not pick up phone for any paper towel etc request. Don’t recommend anyone to stay here.
Apart from location of this hotel everything is terrible. Room was not sound proof the connecting door room was given and could hear whatever the other guest speaking. Can hear outside building works carried out even at 1am. Crowded lifts, you may need more time to get a lift. Mediocre breakfast deserts repeated everyday. Poor wifi signal did not connect, used my own personal data
The only best thing about this hotel
Is location, they not bothered about customer service, no amenities provided, hardly one towel in bathroom, carpet wet floor stinks,
Not value for money
Average room condition. Terrible air conditioning system. Wetroom style toile/bathroom definitely not suitable for uk family . Room service, bellmann,and house keeping was excellent. Reception staff are not friendly and not helpfull at all.

I chose to stay at Zowar International Hotel mainly because of its proximity to Haram, which is very convenient. However, there is ongoing construction work right behind the hotel, and the noise from drilling and heavy machinery is quite disturbing throughout the day.
The constant sound of boulders and foundation work made it difficult to rest — I even had to use earplugs, and other guests in nearby rooms were also complaining about the same issue. Unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be much the hotel staff could do to address it.
It would be helpful if the hotel could inform guests in advance about the construction situation so travelers can make an informed decision.
