Hotel Evaluation
-
Price vs Quality
Good value for money if your main goal is proximity to the mosque without paying 5-star prices.
-
Staff & Service
Stuff works. Housekeeping is available but you have to specifically ask most times.
-
Location
4/5 for location, while not ‘first line’, it is a very short walk compared to many other hotels in this price bracket.
-
Neighborhood
Lively and convenient, you are surrounded by shops selling dates, prayer mats and food.
-
Cleanliness Level
Average. Sheets are changed and rooms are tidy but don’t look too closely at the corners or worn carpets.
-
Breakfast Quality
Standard buffet fare, the hotel normally operates on full board basis for groups with cuisine also geared towards South Asian and Arab preferences.
-
Comfort of Bed
Tight quarters, the rooms are strictly for sleeping, offering little comfort for lounging.
-
Wi-Fi Experience
Weak and intermittent; buy a local SIM card instead of relying on the hotel network.
-
Hotel Freshness
Pilgrim Bustle. The atmosphere is busy and transient, focused totally on the religious schedule.
-
Peace & Quiet
Street noise and hallway conversations can disturb light sleepers, so better run down those streets all night long to get really tired before sleep catches up with you.
-
Long Stay Suitability
Perfect for a big family with kids and a group of friends on a budget performing Umrah.
-
Parking Ease
Few spaces available, most guests arrive by bus or taxi hence parking is not considered as one of the main features.
