(222 reviews) ⸻ Address Jabal Omar is a new hotel, but unfortunately the customer service is very poor. Even after the drop-off by the Jabal Omar shuttle bus, the hotel is not within the Haram area, and you still have to walk about 10–12 minutes to reach the Masjid. This might be manageable for young people, but it is not convenient for elderly guests who really need to stay much closer. Overall, the hotel feels quite far, the service is not good, and the food is very expensive. If you plan to dine in the hotel or have breakfast there, the prices are too high. Also, there are no nearby restaurants, so you don’t really have other options for food in the area. Sky Musalla is a great place to pray, but it is very small compared to the number of guests staying in Towers 1 and 2\. Because of this, the area gets full very quickly, and if you are even 15-20 minutes early before salah start time, it is often closed. This becomes very inconvenient for people who want to pray, especially during busy prayer times. I would strongly suggest pilgrims avoid this hotel and instead book something closer, like near the Clock Tower. Please consider all the pros and cons carefully before booking this hotel.

(396 reviews) I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and I immediately felt taken care of. The room was spotless, beautifully maintained, and very comfortable. The bed was cozy, the amenities were thoughtful, and everything I needed was easily available. I especially appreciated the attention to detail and the peaceful atmosphere, which made it easy to relax and unwind. The location was perfect, making it convenient to explore the area while still offering a quiet and comfortable retreat at the end of the day. Every staff member I interacted with went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, quality service, and a memorable stay. I will definitely be returning!
