No one ever answered the phone. Not reception, room service etc. Also the location isn’t great. It’s in the middle of nowhere and there’s nothing to eat around. Plus the bus drops you off at Marwa, which is the side of the masjid that has no stores either. So the only convenient place to eat is the hotel, which becomes prohibitively expensive. Book a hotel on the north side of the masjid. More worth the money.

Novotel Thaker Makkah is within walking distance of Masjid Al-Haram, taking around 20 minutes. The hotel does not offer self-service laundry, and the available alternatives are quite expensive, which seems to be a common trend in KSA. Overall, the experience is good, and the staff is courteous, though they appeared overwhelmed during check-in, leading to a queue time of around 15 minutes

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.
