    Direct access to major sites and delicious feasts made my trip unforgettable. The hotel's elegant furnishings and fine dining options cater to all tastes. Immersed in culture, I found peace and comfort in every corner. Safety and convenience were top-notch. Within driving distance, I discovered a hidden gem. A homely touch in a bustling city, enriching my journey. British archaeologist with a keen eye for detail, I left with a heart full of memories.

    Swissotel offers an exquisite breakfast and is just a short walk away from the Haram, ideal for those spending most of their time there. the courteous reception, especially Abdullah's service, enhances the overall experience. Conveniently located next to the Kaba entrance, with a food court and shopping area nearby.

    No complaints.

    My stay at Swissotel Al Maqam Makkah was enjoyable. The location near Masjid Haram was convenient with a side entrance. The room was clean. Although there were issues with check-in and room arrangements, the manager resolved them after some discussion.

    The family suite at Swissotel Al Maqam Makkah was absolutely stunning! The living room was so luxurious, and the dining room easily accommodated our entire family. It made our stay feel like a home away from home.

    I personally found the air conditioning a bit strong at times, but I know others might appreciate it.

    We had a really amazing stay and would recomand this hotel to all. Everything was nice during 1 day, truly enjoyed its perfect and convenient location just next door to markets nearby, Al Abraj shopping complex, and the giant restaurant where breakfast buffet for instance can turn to a nightmare and chaos.

    i had a great experience at Swissotel. the beds were very nice and comfy, and the room was very cosy. The staff were really helpful and attentive, especially the ones changing beds. The hotel is in a great location, close to AlMasjid Al Haram, surrounded by malls, restaurants, and other facilities. The masjid in the hotel is clean and well maintained, and the rooms with Kaaba view offer a spacious and great view of Al Kaaba.

    Can’t fault anything about it 😊

    Of course, we would recommend it to all. The hotel is exceptional and in an absolutely perfect location to Railway station or airport. The rooms are large and elegant and they have climate control, a safe box, and multi-channel TV. The price is just right - usd 419. The staff at the reception desk.

    The staff were super friendly and upgraded our room as first-time visitors. The room service was jaw-dropping and the location was mind-blowing. You could hear the adhan perfectly and easily join the prayer. With a young child, it was a relief not having to walk or take a shuttle back to the hotel. Plus, being in the clock tower, the food and shopping options were right there without even leaving the building. The minimal waiting for the separate lifts to our room was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast was EXQUISITE and the close proximity to the haram was a huge plus. The reception, especially Mr. Mohanad, was wonderful and super helpful. The room had a nice view of the haram and the facilities were comfortable. Can't wait to stay here again!
