The reception was horrible. The front staff treated us not well. This staff took very long time to take previous customer, but did not request me to wait. Basically told us to SIT in very loud voice. We confused and got cleared after sometime and finally got a room. Room service does not pick up phone for any paper towel etc request. Don’t recommend anyone to stay here.

Apart from location of this hotel everything is terrible. Room was not sound proof the connecting door room was given and could hear whatever the other guest speaking. Can hear outside building works carried out even at 1am. Crowded lifts, you may need more time to get a lift. Mediocre breakfast deserts repeated everyday. Poor wifi signal did not connect, used my own personal data

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
I chose to stay at Zowar International Hotel mainly because of its proximity to Haram, which is very convenient. However, there is ongoing construction work right behind the hotel, and the noise from drilling and heavy machinery is quite disturbing throughout the day. The constant sound of boulders and foundation work made it difficult to rest — I even had to use earplugs, and other guests in nearby rooms were also complaining about the same issue. Unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be much the hotel staff could do to address it. It would be helpful if the hotel could inform guests in advance about the construction situation so travelers can make an informed decision.
