Grt pl for families

I would give four out of five. Rooms are Grt, comfortable, and clean. Room size was ok, especially quard room. There is hardly space available for luggage. The bus service was Grt, bus back n forth every hr. I did not include bfast, but I guess it will be Grt too. A lot of Asian, including Pak, Indian, and Arab among top stay. Overall Grt pl to stay in.

This hotel is about a 20-minute drive from the Kaaba, where cars must stop. It’s in a developing area of Makkah with few large buildings like Novotel, though construction is ongoing. There are some smaller buildings with shops and restaurants nearby, but taxis are still the best way to reach them. The hotel has a 24/7 barbershop, is fully wheelchair accessible, and consists of multiple large towers, dominating the landscape in early 2025. Shuttle buses run to and from the hotel, but taking a taxi offers more flexibility. The distance can be inconvenient if you need frequent trips to the Kaaba, especially for those with mobility issues or requiring frequent hotel access for supplies or restrooms. However, if you plan to stay at the Kaaba for several hours before returning, the location works well. As for the hotel, Tower 1/2 has the reception staff for checking in and out or talking in person to a staff member. The only real issue I found within the newly built hotel and rooms was that the shower area drained very slowly and was missing half the door. That sounds more drastic then it was but I am sure they can fix it if you tell them as I saw workers there on call for fixing hotel issues like any electrical or plumbing work. I had 2 rooms so I didn’t even bother calling in to get the shower area sorted and fixed. They also have a dining/restaurant on one of the floors and it’s a bit expensive but still somewhat manageable. Best to get the food package if staying for few days.

It was my first time staying at Novotel, terrible customer service. They never answer the phone at the reception desk, it rings for half an hour and no one picks up. When you ask them to bring you something it takes them forever to do it. Most importantly the commute to the haram is very hard, you change two buses to get there (you need around 40 minutes to get to the haram the bus parks so far and you walk for a long distance), and the bus is not always available it's not there for most of the day (even though in their discription it says the bus is 24 hours) I wanted to cancel my stay but they won't refund me because i booked through expedia .. reconsider before booking
