Staff was good however the room was not big enough for the three beds. Very tight space between the beds and beds and walls. Washroom was tight as well, toilet seat was getting wet whenever,any one get showered. Actually this was a double room in which three single beds were placed for three people. Location was good in the sense that it took only 10 minutes to get into the Haram/ Kaaba.

Very stupid abusive manager and staff. Staffs secretly opened the door by using the spare key thinking that the guest was not inside but I was about to change my dress as soon as he had I contact he tried to run away and my husband caught him. Complained at the reception and the admin apologised and said by mistake he did it. By mistake using spare key how come someone opens the door as long as without asking to clean they don’t clean the room. It was on purpose. The admin even begged not to share this in my review.

Not bad

4 stars mostly because it is close to the Haram. There is a uphill to walk to get there and it takes about 15 minutes but if you're in good physical health it shouldn't be too hard. The staff was kind and helpful. The room itself was pretty small, not very spacious but if you want to be close to the haram on a budget then this hotel is an option. There's lots of hotels closer to the masjid on the same street so you can check that out yourself in person, though rates may be slightly higher. The area was nice, lots of shops and food around, just take a walk and keep google maps with you. It is a loud and busy street but i didn't mind.

We booked this hotel last minute for umrah last week. I was happy that we found a hotel and it look reasonable from reading the review. However it is not suitable for anybody with mobility issues. It is a difficult walk to the haram however for youngsters with low budget it should be ok. There is no such a thing as customer service. We stayed for 7 days nobody even for once came to clean the room or provide fresh sheets or towels. Not even to empty the bins. We had to ask for toilet roll from the reception when we needed it. We asked for sugar the staff member laughed and said no sugar… you not even allowed to have a bite/ sips on the go in the reception area if you are waiting for Uber. Overall I do not think I will be going there again due to the way the staff behaves. The hotel was ok no bed bugs which I was worried about the most.

“Convenient Stay Near Masjid Al-Haram.

Hotel Review: Al Sahaba Makkah I stayed at Al Sahaba Makkah with my family for four nights during our holy trip to Makkah. The hotel is conveniently located near Masjid Al-Haram, within walking distance, or a short taxi ride costing 5-10 SAR. The rooms were clean and spacious, with basic amenities like towels, soap, shampoo, and an electric kettle with tea sachets. The staff was polite and helpful, adding to the overall pleasant experience. However, the hot water supply stopped after the first night, and the carpets in the room could benefit from a deep cleaning. Additionally, the road in front of the hotel is under construction until Ramadan, making luggage transport slightly inconvenient. Despite minor issues, the stay was enjoyable, with plenty of nearby shops and restaurants for added convenience. I recommend this hotel for its location and affordability, with hopes that management addresses these small concerns.
