A good hotel

I liked the regular 30 mins shuttle bus to the haram. The rooms are spacious for 3 people and the beds are super soft to sleep on. They have a lot of amenities such as restaurants and coffee shops within the hotel. However, since I came during Ramadan only a food buffet was available still good. One thing to criticise would be ensuring if you book two rooms that they would be next to each other or even just on the same floor. This happened and they kept on saying come back tomorrow and you will get the room next to your family. Day two I just gave up asking to change rooms because one staff member was say yes then the next would say no.

Upon arrival I was expecting to find an airport shuttle as advertised on Expedia, and it was actually the only criteria of selection I used to choose this hotel, few days prior to my arrival I tried reaching out the hotel both by email and WhatsApp to ask for details and confirmation, and never got any reply . I have spent an extra 250SR for the taxi , the advertisement on your website showing there s a shuttle provided is false and deceitful. Please rectify it the hotel had only one place for breaking fast and no F&B is around with immediate access. Taxis are very difficult to find .Thanks

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
