I loved my stay at this hotel, room was clean & nice and relaxing. Spent couple more hundred to get the Kabba View and it's so worth it. Closs to Haram and mall Breakfast was great and elevators was so easy and no wait time. Staff was very helpful as usual in all the Cloke Tower Hotels,

Close to Kaaba and clock tower shopping and dining options. Bathroom shower is too small and water started backing up. Very crowded hotel especially at peak times. Breakfast buffet was very good. Elevators especially for the top floors was very slow. Expect for it to take 10 minutes to get down from the higher floors. Convenient option for Makkah but needs to do better.

Good hotel that has easy access to the mall with a walkway that leads right to the haram. The hotel rooms are nice but the bathrooms are small and not the cleanest, but I would still recommend the hotel. It’s our 4th visiting for Umrah over 2 years and we have always stayed at this hotel for to the convenience of walking distance to the haram and the mall. If you select half board, the breakfast and lunch options that they offer in the buffet are plentiful.

We’ve stayed at this property multiple times in the past, and it’s always a fantastic place to be. However, I have one complaint: the staff’s rudeness during breakfast hours. I understand that you’re fully booked and have a lot of foot traffic in the morning, but you need to plan better and teach your staff manners when interacting with guests. The staff was extremely busy and didn’t seem to try to listen to our requests. Dinner hour were good as expected. Thanks to Mr Ashraf ( New manager ) for his hospitality during dinner hours

This was our 3rd time at the hotel. Checked in and was given a room on the 2nd floor. As we entered the room, we could smell damp/mould mixed with cigarettes. I called to advise that the room needed to be changed and I was told to come down to reception. As I was given a new room, I thought it would be better however it was disgusting. I was told “all triple rooms are the same” and they were very keen to stop me from explaining the issues in the reception area. - The bathrooms were filthy and the shower stunk of urine. Every-time the shower was used the smell became stronger. - Shower stained and full of mould. - Bathroom door handle loose and could not be locked properly. - Curtains full of stains and dust. - Claimed to be a ‘city view’ room but looked directly in to rooms of another hotel. - Window ledges dirty and dusty. - Bed side table dirty. - Lamps full of dust and dirt. - Very noisy as the room was near the lift and the road outside was very loud all night. - Air con vents full of dust which left an awful smell. I addressed these problems with the staff on the first day to which they were very dismissive. I have stayed at this hotel twice before and this was my third occasion but it certainly will be the last. In general, the cleanliness was appalling and even asking the cleaners to clean was a great amount of hassle. The room got cleaned twice during our week stay despite cleaners always being on that floor.
