10 minutes from the Haram (with a shortcut through Anjum Hotel). It is uphill going towards the Haram. Just so you are aware. Barbers and a restaurant right next to the Hotel. Good budget hotel for the price.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Over all experience wasn’t the best with this hotel being close to Al haram I expected better service, arrived early and we were welcomed and got keys to rooms doors, then at room furniture were broken, trash was in the bathroom, then at night after we came back from the isha prayer went to the room and in the hallway it was smoking smell coming out of the room next door , called the front desk and they said they will send some one to check, I had a 8 month old baby in my room, then next day same thing happened even with signs all over the place saying no smoking, what got me upset is the I found out after the third time complaining about the cigarette smoke that one of the staff is the one in the room next door and I believe he was the manger and when I complained, he wanted me to move out of the room, really bad experience and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone to go through that. No room service for the first 2 nights and I had to call and go to front desk to request it on the third day.

Je n'ai jamais vu un hotel pareil , les toilettes sont sale et leau de la douche ( qui je precise n'est pas séparé des toilettes) ne s'ecoule pas ! Le personnel ne sert a rien et avoir de leur part une serviette de bain est impossible Pour mes freres qui viennent accomplir leurs omra craignez Allah et ne séjournerez pas dans ces chambres crades.

It was a good 2 star Hotel. All room services are on demand/request. The property is located 10-12 minutes slightly uphill walk. It is nearest to new extension side of Haram. So people with walking issues/wheelchair, kids etc will find a little bit hard when going towards Haram. If you want to go inside Haram from Hotel then it may take 20 minutes depending on age group/health. Don't forget to bring your own Iron.
