For a convenient shopping experience in Makkah, the hotel provides direct access to the shopping mall within Abraj Al Bait complex.

Mr. Ali Al Safrani was very friendly, assisting me and all the group doing hajj tirelessly. Your housekeeping team did the work diligently. The building is very well maintained, the location is great and the hotel has many access to places. The food served was much better that the neighbourhood hotel in the clock tower.

I'm currently staying at this hotel and I must say, the experience has been wonderful so far. One of the standout aspects has been the housekeeping service. My room is always clean, tidy, and well-stocked with everything I need. A big thank you to Mohammad Sazzad, the housekeeper who has been taking care of my room. He is incredibly polite, efficient, and pays great attention to detail. His dedication and friendly attitude have truly made my stay more comfortable and enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

What a brilliant hotel. The facility, location and Concierge service was great (Amin bellman)provided good service. Also all staff make this hotel memorable and convenient for all. This was my first trip to do Umrah and I was accompanied by my elderly parents. Alhanouf was brilliant at check in recognising this and providing us with a room upgrade with a Haram view and complimentary breakfast. This made all the difference for the comfort of my parents and I would commend her highly and thank her for this trip of a lifetime.

We stayed at the hotel for 6 nights the hotel is a great location for the Haram including having Kaaba views however there were a few things which can be improved. It is also worth knowing there are 2 lifts required to get to your room but the lifts are frequent but busy at times.
1. Our room had 4 beds was to solved in a day or so however no one came to remove the beds so we were very tight on space this was agreed at check in would be resolved
2. We had to ring housekeeping several times for them to bring towels to our room given room clean was not timely.
3. Even after requesting a room clean with the sign on the door no one would come so I would have to tell the housekeeping team I saw in other rooms to clean mine or call reception to get it cleaned sooner
4. I requested a staff member to send some zamzam to my room to which he agreed and it didn't come which is disappointing
5. The check in and check out process was not efficient as there was only 1 member on the front desk and therefore took a while which isn’t great
6. On check out we called 1 hour before we wanted to leave to ensure someone was there to bring our bags and no one came and also called again. In the end we had to go downstairs and only then someone came up with me
7. The breakfast process needs to be smoother by opening all 3 areas to make it easier for everyone the queues are very long and a lot of pushing and shoving which could be avoided.
8. The breakfast drinks are very limited and need to speak to the right people to request proper krak tea. The Moroccan supervisor was great I forgot his name and was very helpful to get us karak tea with milk.
9. When the food runs out on the counter it takes a long time for the staff to refill for example I was waiting for 5 mins for bread to be refilled

I recently stayed at the Swiss Hotel Al Maqam and had a truly wonderful experience. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and ideally located for everything I needed. The staff were polite and helpful throughout my stay, making me feel welcome and well taken care of.
A special mention goes to Sazzad, the cleaner responsible for room 3220. He was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to detail. My room was always spotless and well-stocked, thanks to his hard work. It’s clear he takes pride in what he does, and it really made a difference in the quality of my stay.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and hope to return again soon!

Staying at Swissotel Al Maqam was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The hotel’s proximity to the Haram is incredibly convenient—just take any elevator from the Clock Tower to P5, and you’re right there.
Our room with a Kaaba view was beyond words—such a spiritually uplifting sight to wake up to each day. The shared mosque on P9 was another great feature, allowing us to pray in congregation with ease.
I strongly suggest booking a package that includes breakfast or half board. The meals were varied, fresh, and perfect for families. What’s more, the pricing often covers two adults and two children, making it excellent value.
A special mention to Mr. Mazen at the Front Desk—he made our stay even better. He’s extremely courteous, speaks English fluently, and always greeted us with a warm smile. His respectful and helpful manner really stood out. Mr. Adel at front seat while checkin was very professional, polite n humble with good command over English. Over all excellent staff in all areas.
In short, this hotel offers not just convenience and comfort, but a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere that enhances your spiritual journey. Highly recommended!

This is a nice hotel very close to the Kaaba. A short walk of 3 min leads you to the entrance of the grand mosque. The hotel is in a big mall which opens into the courtyard leading to the grand mosque. Elevators that are common to the mall and the hotel are busy. The hotel has its own elevators that take you down to the haram which are less busy. The food is good. Fresh fruit choice is limited to only apples and oranges sometimes watermelon. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Mohamed took good care of me as I worked on my laptop during breakfast. Thanks Mohamed!
Overall, It is very convenient for travelers willing to spend the extra bucks.

Excellent experience from check in to check out. All round great performance from staff ranging from front office, housekeeping, breakfast service. Well done team - given how busy the hotel is the standard is great. Perfect location and route to haram; not through the mall which is distracting and pretty busy. There will be small areas of improvement here and there but given the number of people and requests they have to deal with it’s fine.

Everything was spot on! Had a great time praying next to the Kaaba within 10-15 minutes walking distance. We were given the Kaaba view rooms when picking rooms. The restaurant staff were extra helpful as me, my uncle, my grandma, my mum and aunties had experienced one of the best services where tea was given when ordered politely from the waiters. The staff are always there when needed and called upon and they have the solution to any problem.

I have stayed at hotels all over the world. I stayed at Jumeirah Jabal Omar in Makkah and coming from there my expectations were high, I would like to say that this is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The customer service and staff is phenomenal. Everyone here always has a smile on their face when they greet you and are always ready to assist to help with anything that you need. I would like to thank two staff members who were extremely helpful all throughout our stay Mr. Al Amin at front desk and Mr. Hazrat Ali from housekeeping staff. It was mine and my mother’s first time in Madina and I am so glad that we picked this hotel as it was recommended by my friend who had stayed here previously. It is literally a 2 minute walk to the Haram and 4-5 minute walk to the ladies entrance for Rawda. Also a 4-5 minute walk from ladies entrance to inside the mosque. I would definitely recommend Elaf Al Taqwa to anyone who is visiting Madina and inshAllah when I visit next I will be staying at the same hotel due to their excellent services and hospitality. The rooms and washrooms are super clean, tidy and the food options for in room dining are also pretty good. Definitely one of the best hotels I have stayed at. Thank you to the entire staff who took such care good care of us during our stay. JazakAllah khair.

An absolute awesome experience at Elaf al Taqwa hotel, Every staff member was absolutely brilliant and were always their to help, from the cleaners to the managers. A special mention to Zeeshan who really helped and went above and beyond as my son who has multiple allergies was accommodated for food wise. The hotel is within a few minutes walk of the masjid so a great location. The Golf Buggys line up outside to take you to Masjid Quba. Lots of shops and museums within walking distance. Would highly reccomend.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at a lovely hotel and would like to share my overall positive experience. While there were a few minor issues, the hotel staff and atmosphere made our stay enjoyable.
The hotel's cleanliness was impressive, with our room being spotless upon arrival. Housekeeping services were efficient, ensuring our room remained clean throughout our stay. The staff was consistently friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome and well-cared for.
The food at the hotel was decent, offering a variety of options to cater to different tastes. While it may not have been the most exceptional dining experience, the meals were satisfying and met our expectations.
One issue we encountered was the hardness of the beds, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. While this was an inconvenience, it did not significantly detract from the overall positive experience at the hotel.
In summary, our stay at this hotel was pleasant and enjoyable, with the friendly staff and clean environment being highlights. Although the food was just decent and the beds were hard, these minor issues did not overshadow the overall experience. We would consider returning to this hotel in the future and recommend it to others seeking a comfortable stay with a few caveats

I had an excellent experience with my Zam Zam travel, thanks to the knowledgeable guides and professional organization throughout the journey. The guides were well-versed in the rituals of Hajj, offering clear explanations and spiritual insights that enriched every step of the pilgrimage. The travel agency managed all logistics efficiently making a potentially complex experience smooth and stress-free. Their attention to detail and commitment to service allowed me to focus fully on the spiritual aspects of the pilgrimage.

Alhamdulillah, I had the incredible blessing of performing Hajj with Zamzam Travels, and it was truly a wonderful and spiritually uplifting experience. I travelled with Brother Omar and Al Amin, and I can’t thank them enough for the care, guidance, and support they provided throughout the journey.
As a sister travelling for Hajj, I felt safe, supported, and respected at every stage. The organization and attention to detail were exceptional, from the accommodations and transportation to the religious guidance and group coordination. Brother Omar and Al Amin were always there with calm leadership and clear communication, making sure everything went smoothly for everyone.
Their sincerity and dedication made this journey even more special. It wasn’t just a trip—it was a transformative spiritual experience shared with a compassionate group and trustworthy guides.
I wholeheartedly recommend Zamzam Travels to anyone who’s planning their Hajj or Umrah. May Allah reward Brother Omar, Al Amin, and the entire team for their efforts and allow them to continue serving the Ummah with excellence.
Jazakum Allahu Khayran for an unforgettable Hajj journey.

I travelled for Umrah with my husband and our two daughters between 9–20 April with Zam Zam Travels, and I cannot praise them enough for the outstanding service we received from start to finish. I have travelled with them on two previous occasions and this was the third.
Like before on previous trips, from the moment we booked, Brothers Fahim and Sharif in the Birmingham office were incredibly supportive. They made sure we had all the information we needed, answered all our questions with patience and clarity, and helped us feel completely at ease ahead of our journey.
Once we arrived in Saudi Arabia, the care and support continued seamlessly. Brother Mahmood in Makkah and Brother Afsar in Madinah were both exceptional. They guided us through the completion of our Umrah as soon as we landed and offered continuous support to help us make the most of our time in Makkah and Madinah. Their knowledge, kindness, and dedication were truly appreciated. The Ziarats in both cities were especially moving and beautifully organised – a real highlight of the trip.
As a mother travelling with two daughters, I felt very reassured throughout. It was a deeply spiritual and memorable experience for our whole family, and a lot of that was down to the professionalism and warmth of the Zam Zam team.
Thank you so much — we look forward to booking our next trip with you again and highly recommend you to others planning their Umrah Hajj journey’s.

My family and I recently travelled for Umrah from 9–20 April through Zam Zam Travels, and I can honestly say the experience was exceptional from beginning to end. This was our second Umrah trip with Zam Zam, having also undertaken Hajj with them a while back too.
From the initial booking stage, Brothers Fahim and Sharif at the Birmingham office were incredibly professional and supportive. They made sure we had all the necessary information and documentation, and they were always available to answer our questions and put our minds at ease before travelling. Their attention to detail and warm approach gave us real peace of mind, especially with our tailored needs of dates and times of travel.
On the ground, the support continued with equal excellence. Brother Mahmood in Makkah and Brother Afsar in Madinah were both extremely helpful and approachable. From guiding us through the completion of our Umrah upon arrival to helping us maximise our time in both holy mosques, their knowledge and dedication made a big difference. The Ziarats in both cities were beautifully organised and added a deeply meaningful dimension to our trip, a useful and helpful reminder of the key historic sites and events in Islam.
As a parent, I really appreciated how smoothly everything ran. We were able to focus fully on our worship and spiritual experience without worrying about logistics. My family and I are truly grateful to Zam Zam Travels for helping us create another memorable and blessed moment.
Highly recommended — we would definitely travel with them again.

Alhamdulillah - just got back from our first Umrah Trip and it was wonderful from start to finish. Everything was seamless. Our leader (Abu Ubaydah) was so caring, thoughtful and inspiring. He was able to give us clear information on the Ziyaarats, check in on me and my family at various points throughout the trip and provide support whenever needed. The hotels were less than 5 mins walk from both Masjids and coaches were available when travelling certain distances. Inshallah we will be travelling with Zam Zam ltd. again in the future - Ameen. We have recommended this group to our relatives as well. We made great friends on the trip and as a first Umrah trip - it is experience I will treasure. May Allah (swt) bless you. Ameen.

Alhamdullilah, this was my first experience completing Umrah. I am so pleased to say that the whole journey was organised well, and ran smoothly day to day. Our group leader (Abu Ubaydah) was kind, considerate, thoughtful, and made sure to check in daily to see how we were feeling and doing. The ziyarats were completed via coach (as a group) and these were very insightful, but there was also opportunities to experience both Makkah and Madina independently from the rest of the team. As someone who can feel anxious about travelling, this truly was an incredible experience spiritually and I’m very thankful to Zam Zam ltd.
To mention also- the hotels at both locations were less than 2 minutes from the Haram and the Nabawi mosques, meaning we could access easily for prayers, and not get lost!! Alhamdullilah 🤲🏽

I have been to Umrah numerous times with Zam Zam Travels are trustworthy and outstanding. This time again, the services they provided were exceptional. From the preparation to the end of this spiritual journey – I was very impressed with them. Brother Sharif was very helpful and gave excellent service in the UK- He was very informative at all points of our preparations. Support was given in the whole e-visa process and managed to add my sister and my nephew at the last minute - Alhamdulillah. Reaching Jeddah, we were greeted at the airport, and Brother Mahmud got us to perform Umrah with ease. Brother Mahmud was understanding, supportive and always checked upon us. I wanted to do another Umrah and they provided information and supported me how to get to Masjid Aisha. The transition in going to Medina was done well as the transport was First Class. Brother Afsar was very helpful and always checked upon us, the organisation for the Ziyarat of the different Masjids in Madinah Munwarah were insightful and the Ziyarat to the Roza of the Muhammad S.A.W was done so efficiently that it was surreal. I would highly recommend Zam Zam Travels as they gave us excellent hotels which were very near to both Holy Places, the service provided was outstanding – will go again with them 😊. I am very grateful that they have made my dream come true and may Allah swt give them Barakah.

Recently went to Umrah using ZamZam Travels. Did not have one fault with travelling with these guys. They offered a Brilliant package which included staying in 5* hotels, which were all located near the Mosques, shopping malls and restaurants both in Mecca and Medina. Everything was walking distance which made life a lot easier for us all.The staff were all nice and friendly and looked after us all. Met some lovely people during this trip and it’s been an unforgettable, life changing experience, Alhamdulillah. Inshallah everyone gets an opportunity to go.

For Hajj We went with Zamzam travels through Al-Rajhi. Overall they weren’t helpful. The 5 days in Mina was Oke for us Alhamdulilah. It was managed in the best way possible by Al Rajhi. On the other hand a lot of elderly people were stranded and that could have been avoided. Customer service was horrendous by Zam zam travels - They really didn’t apologise for anything. Anyone booking Hajj- avoid Zamzam travels.
