a decent hotel for umrah

shared entrance smooth check-in helpful reception old bathrooms outdated furniture old carpets

i had two rooms booked (for the family) and the reception was very helpful. they ensured we got rooms right next to each other with one shared entrance. it seemed like a big suite. check-in was smooth, and check-out was also fast. the rooms were clean and well taken care of. the housekeeping team was polite too.

the bathrooms felt old and almost falling apart. the carpets and curtains look old. the furniture seemed outdated too.

a blessed stay

convenient design fancy elevators vintage decor room control panel

the location offered unparalleled access. elevators directly connected the hotel to the haram after the entrance, a convenient design. there were fancy elevators and vintage decor inside my room. i also liked the room's control panel.

my visit was almost perfect, but i did find the room service to be a bit slow at times.
