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.

Horrible!

Terrible. Location was great but everything else was worse than a 49.99 motel 6 room. The bathroom smelled like sewage.no towels, the bed had hair on it upon arrival the tv didn’t work. Had to beg for towels and sheets to be changed. One key card per room!!! Only thing going for it was the location!

Disgusting hotel. No room service as in cleaning of room. Carpets filthy. Pillows filthy as well as blankets. Bugs in room. Bathrooms filthy and mouldy. Repeated requests to clean and change totally ignored by Expedia and the hotel. Have a disabled daughter so made the the situation much harder to handle or change hotels once we had arrived and checked in very very disappointed. Stay away.

À fuir.

Nous avons séjourné 6 nuits, notre chambre a été lavée seulement 1 fois en 6 jours. Tous les soirs nous devions courir dans les couloirs afin de trouver quelqu’un pour au moins nous changer les serviettes. À chaque fois la même histoire : « sorry, tomorrow, i clean ». Nous nous plaignons à la réception, la même histoire « ce matin » « ce soir » « demain » jamais rien de fait. On nous a même dit « ok, mais tu dois rester dans la chambre sinon on nettoie pas » j’ai refusé de perdre une soirée de mon séjour pour ça. Le personnel n’est pas aimable, on ne vous donne aucune solution. La wifi fonctionne très mal prévoyez une carte SIM. L’emplacement de l’hôtel est assez éloigné de Masjid Al Nabawi par rapport au prix payé. L’ascenseur ne suffit pas pour la taille de l’hôtel et le nombre de personnes si vous avez une poussette ou vous êtes dans les derniers étages vous attendez sans cesse, impraticable aux heures de prière et de Check in/out, ce qui fait encore perdre du temps pour vous rendre à la mosquée. Ils proposent de la restauration rapide autour, mais vous n’avez pas le droit de manger sur les tables de l’hôtel si cela ne vient pas de chez eux, voud allez monter dans votre chambre manger et attendre 15minutes l’ascenseur. En photo, la poussière de la salle de bain, et un couteau trouvé sous le lit pliant ajouté par l’hôtel pour mon bébé. Les chambres sont séparées par une porte, vous entendez les conversations et voyez la lumière de la chambre d’à côté.

I was very disappointed with the service, it was not clean before we arrived and the cleaners did not clean the room while being there. I had to request the extra towels and tissues. The shower water leaked everywhere and the floors were slippery, this is dangerous. This is my third time coming here, the first two times i was happy with the service.
