I was writing a really long review but I exceeded the character limit so I’ll just quickly sum up our experience.
Overall decent experience, we enjoyed our stay الحمدلله
Pros: free food (probably one of our favorite parts of the hotel😂) from 6am to 11am, and it was pretty good. Staff were very nice and we didn’t have any issues with them. My bed had a stain on it, and the bathroom couldn’t been cleaner but overall the hotel was pretty clean.
Cons: We got 1 room with 4 beds for a family of 5, probably not the best idea but we wanted to save money. Room was extremely small, suitcases took up half of the room, room was very crammed. Unfortunately, due to current road blockages, taxi rides were a little bit longer than they could’ve been, and drivers would charge a little bit more sometimes because of the blocked roads.
We had a good time الحمدلله but honestly if I could go back, I’d spend the extra money to get a hotel right next to the haram, instead of having to constantly pay for taxis, wait for the bus, walk, etc. It would’ve just saved a lot more time and we would’ve had a better experience. On the other hand, our car/bus rides to the haram and back allowed us to see more of the city so that was nice. But for the price, this hotel is pretty good.
