Quick Take: It's a fantastic value for the location and cleanliness, but the breakfast buffet and hot water supply struggle to keep up with the morning rush.
Reviewed by @maham_in_sydney: We stayed here for three nights and being just a 3-minute walk from the Haram was a game-changer. Even when running late, we easily made it to prayer! The triple room was spacious, and I loved the early Arabic breakfast buffet. Highly recommend for the location!

5 things to know before you go
💡The hot water tanks struggle during peak shower times, so shower off-peak if you want it hot.
💡The Karak chai at the breakfast buffet is surprisingly excellent, even if the rest of the food is just okay.
💡The lobby is beautifully decorated with fresh flowers, giving it a much more premium feel than a standard 3-star.
💡The in-room Adhan (call to prayer) speaker volume is quite low, which might be a pro or a con depending on your preference.
💡There are 10 elevators, but the lack of directional indicators means guests often run back and forth trying to catch one.
