Hotels in 60th Street, Makkah

It is written that it is 7 minutes away from the Haram, and I was with an elderly woman, and I was shocked that it is more than a quarter of an hour away. A limousine is needed. This point must be noted.

Before leaving Turkey, I almost changed my mind after reading the negative reviews about this hotel. However, given its proximity to the Kaaba and the fact that my mother was traveling with me, I thought, *“At least let me see it for myself—if I don’t like it, I can always switch to another hotel.”* To my delight, all my preconceptions were shattered from the very first moment! The staff is extremely courteous and attentive, the rooms are spotless, and the food is delicious. Plus, the hotel is within walking distance of the Kaaba and right next to the bazaar—no need for transportation. I was particularly impressed by the genuine care and problem-solving efforts of the reception staff. Now, I’m starting to think those who wrote negative reviews might have had some ulterior motives. ————— Türkiye’den yola çıkmadan önce bu otelle ilgili olumsuz yorumları okuyunca neredeyse vazgeçiyordum. Ancak Kabe’ye yakınlığı ve annemin de benimle olması nedeniyle ”En azından bir göreyim, beğenmezsem başka bir otele geçeriz” diye düşündüm. Ne mutlu ki oteldeki ilk andan itibaren tüm önyargılarım kırıldı! Personel son derece saygılı ve ilgili, odalar tertemiz, yemekler ise lezzetli. Ayrıca otel, Kabe’ye yürüme mesafesinde ve çarşının tam dibinde; araç kullanmaya gerek kalmıyor. Özellikle resepsiyon çalışanlarının samimi ilgisi ve sorun çözme konusundaki gayreti beni çok etkiledi. Artık bu otelle ilgili olumsuz yorum yazanların biraz art niyetli olabileceğini düşünüyorum.

Très bon hôtel. L'équipe hôtelier est super accueillant et à l'écoute de nos petits besoins. Les chambres sont correctes (correspond bien à un hôtel 3 étoiles) et propres. Le petit bémol, l'hôtel n'est pas très proche du Masjid Al Haram. Toutefois, il y a un service de bus gratuit mis à notre disposition et qui nous dépose à environ 7 à 10min à pieds d'une des entrées du Masjid.

We had a nice stay in the hotel, service is good , staff is helpful and friendly, we didn’t have any issues during our stay. Location was not ideal, about 25 min walk, if you take shuttle, then it’s 15 mins to Harram. Road works still going but they tend to finish and underpass should be running in Ramadan which will then reduce travel time for sure.

This is a nice hotel, budget level on the famous Umm Al Qura road, not far from bus depot and walking distance to haram Sharif. It has several restaurants nearby and smaller mosques also. As for the hotel it is nice and quiet, no issues. The room was nice and clean. Kettle was provided and had furniture too. And also towel. I would use it again.

The receptionist did not know about the online booking, when i came into the hotel they didn't have the confirmation for the booking reference which until i finished my check in time they still didn't confirm it. They must check the bathroom or toilets. Some of the amenities inside need to be repaired. Like the shower, sink, the wash water sprinkler

*************, hotel ni berpatutan dan bagus

The location is great and very near to Masjid Haram, but the room is too small, there is no electricity outlet in the toilet, the furniture is too old and not fixed. The staff are friendly and helpful.

This hotel is next level unreal! The pictures of the rooms don't do it justice, it's way better in reality (at least in my case). We booked three rooms for 5 nights in Jan/ Feb 2025, were located in tower 3 - Al Falak Tower in rooms 708/ 6**/6**. The bathrooms were unbelievable, all stunning white marble with some super fancy design, so so amazing, the shower was so big you could fit like 7 people in there, I have never stayed in such a luxury room before. Ceilings are like 4 metres, really unbelievable. The colour palette for the room was muted greys and pastels, it looked very nice, suited the room and location. One thing that would be useful, can the hotel just install a Japanese bidet instead of a separate one, I think it's a waste installing a standalone bidet and the all-in-one bidet toilet is current technology, so it would be useful compared to the current setup (Toto toilet, etc). Now, the sad bit. The distance from the Haram is advertised as not far, and it isn't. But the reality is it's extremely difficult to enter the haram, because of the crowds, it is just heaving. The police close off the haram to outsiders as soon as the adhaan goes, so you can't enter (be aware), and you'll have to pray outside the boundaries of the haram if you are not inside the area before the adhaan (this may be subject to change, and I cannot confirm how they arrange their opening times etc, please confirm on your own travels). Inside the haram, there is ridiculous construction work going on, all entrances are purposefully blocked, so that huge traffic builds up (I remember 10 years ago in 2014 when I stayed at Bai Al Abraaj, you could just walk into the Ma3taf area of the haram in about 5 minutes, now it is impossible. ). I have no idea what the government is doing, but it seems to intentionally be closing off areas to stop people from entering, which is really a shame. It seems that the purpose is that you rather go to all the shops and malls outside the mall, or pray inside your hotel rather than venture out, this seems the goal of the current administration by closing off all entrances, or causing huge areas to be cordoned off so that getting in easily is impossible. I got so sick of the crowds that i ended up not wanting to go into the haram afterwards (the crowds inside are really next level crazy, they will push and drive wheelchairs up your legs and cut you - happened to me but maybe I was just unlucky). The hotel is exceptional and so is the buffet breakfast/ dinner - breakfast is between 90 - 119riyals, and dinner is about 149 riyals. Food is amazing, but it's sad that most people pile their plates with croissants etc, don't take a bite and throw it away, such a shame. I hope the hotel can have signs up to prevent such ridiculous wastage, or at least give this food to the outside poor people.
