Service: A highlight—professional, personalized attention from managers and staff ensures memorable experiences. Value: Worth the premium for those seeking comfort, variety, and proximity to Haram.

A great hotel in all aspects and during Haj time with all the crowdness the service remained A -class. A great reason for such Review is also Ismail Omar the Restaurant manager who is a great example of work devotion and guest service. He has demonstrated many qualities in tough times how to handle the guests kindly with a smile, while dealing with a crisis effectively in no time leading his team in person working hand in hand. I have rarely seen such caliber in this area with such professional attitude. The restaurant and food are among the best things in hotel, however the hotel overall is of great service and value. Keep it up and take care of your good people. 👏👍 Read less

We were visiting from the USA, and our experience at Swissôtel Makkah was truly outstanding. The highlight of our stay was the incredible hospitality we received — especially from Mr. Sakeer, the assistant manager, whom we had the pleasure of interacting with during the daily dining. He was incredibly welcoming, always checking in to see if everything was okay, asking if we needed anything, and offering to help in any way he could. His warm personality and attentiveness really made a difference and left a lasting impression on us. The buffet meals for both breakfast and dinner were phenomenal — so much variety, consistently delicious food, and the dessert bar was next-level. Even during the busiest times, there was always plenty to choose from, and the staff worked tirelessly to keep everything well-stocked and fresh. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, and the in-room Adhan system was such a thoughtful touch that enhanced the spiritual experience of our trip. And of course, the location — 0 meters from Masjid al-Haram — couldn’t have been more perfect. Even in the busiest foot traffic during Hajj season, I always appreciated the location of my hotel as I knew that in just a few more feet I would be home. Every part of our stay reflected high-quality service, genuine care, and great attention to detail. We’re so grateful for the hospitality we received and would definitely return again. Read less

My stay at Swissôtel Makkah was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the front desk agent Ahmed Al Amri, who was highly professional and made the check-in process smooth and quick. He was very responsive and answered all my questions with a smile, reflecting the excellent hospitality of the hotel. I stayed in room 1223, and when it comes to cleanliness and in-room service, I would like to give special thanks to Ammar Aref from the housekeeping department. He was very attentive to the room’s cleanliness on a daily basis, paying attention to the smallest details. His attitude was respectful and polite, and he was always ready to assist with anything I needed—always with a smile and prompt service. along with the high-level services, made this stay truly unforgettable. I highly recommend Swissôtel Makkah to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and exceptional hospitality. Read less

I recently stayed at this hotel in Makkah during the last ten days of Ramadan, and it was a wonderful experience! The hotel’s service was exceptional, and the rooms were spotless. What made my stay truly memorable was a special surprise for Mother’s Day. My sister, who wasn’t with us, called the hotel from Jeddah to arrange a surprise cake for my mother and me. The customer service representative, Mr. Fares Alhazmi, handled the request with such grace and didn’t charge anything for it! The cake was beautiful, and the gesture was incredibly touching. I also want to extend my thanks to the hotel manager, Mr. Faisal, for his attentive service. The junior suite was spacious, comfortable, and offered great privacy with two bathrooms. Overall, an excellent stay Read less

Great Experience!! A must visit- Spacious rooms and toilets. Good service. Close proximity to haram 😊 Wonderful and large variety of food in buffet.

Amazing, hospitality the reception went out of their way we stayed here for two nights and it was such a memorable experience. We wanted to check out at 2:30 pm because we had an intention to pray inside haram. Requested the room staff and they were more than happy to say ok. It was a different feeling here. Read less

I don’t know how this hotel has a 4.5 stars.. this was so expensive for finding mold in the bathrooms (video and picture) the bed is not comfortable, there is a beep sound in every floor and they don’t turn off at night time ( video). And when we asked them to turn off they said it’s like this and they can’t do nothing. It beeps every 10-20 seconds.. you can’t sleep.. Also the windows are so dirty that you can’t see anything outside ( picture).. the minimum you should keep are things cleaned.. the safe was also locked and not working, so we didn’t want housekeeping since we had our passports in the room.. we contacted them, they could not fix and that’s it.. it’s broken. The inclusive dinner does not even include soda.. only water! I have nothing good to say. Even the short distance is not worth the money they charge. There are better options around. Sanitary and health services should be contacted for these molds.. True 5 star hotels would never be like this one. This hotel needs urgent updates.. And do you know what answer you get from them? Literally nothing! Any hotel that is 5 star would make sure things like these are working and cleaned and would at minimum provide 5 star Costumer service. I don’t know how they have a license to advertise they are 5 star hotel. That should be illegal Read less

First I have to mention that The receptionist of this hotel Rania was the nicest receptionist I have ever encountered at a hotel. She was always friendly and asked how our stay was going every time we walked in the door. She also was able to recommend places to get any type of meal that we needed as well. Second this is a luxurious hotel! It’s clean and has a lot of comfort items to make you feel at home. I was in town for a stressful event and coming back to this hotel’s room was very peaceful.

This hotel has a beautiful lobby and restaurant. The restaurant has a great mini breakfast buffet for kids too. The kids loved it. Special shout out to Mr Faizan who was very courteous and helpful at all times. However compared to the money being paid, the rooms are small and the bathroom even smaller. The shower area is so small that a claustrophobic person would never get in there. The bathroom really needs working on considering the fact that this is a 5 star hotel. And the service isn't great. They have so many guests checking in every day and I guess this makes them indifferent or too tired to be hospitable to each guest. Read less

The location is great. The hotel has two entrances one to the Haram with special entrance and the other to the street where you find taxis are waiting you. All service was top notch. Quadruple room with Kaaba view was spacious and tidy with most essentials provided for a family of 5. The bed is big, I loved it the most. Breakfast food was incredible with variety of choices; top management was also around to make sure everything was okay. I would like to thank Mr. Rakan at the reception desk for his welcoming and attitude. Loved our stay here! Read less

Very convenient location close to Haram, very helpful and friendly staff, we were given Haram faced room without any extra charges a lovely view. Room are big and especially the luggage box room is very handy as it keeps your room clear of suitcases. Bath and toilets are very clean and spacious. Only one area where there is room for improvement. The breakfast buffet has plenty of different items but if you are from South Asian subcontinent, then you will feel disappointed because mainly the dishes are either Arabic and some European. Also when it was busy, there was problem to find cutlery like teaspoons resulting in cold tea. Overall a very good hotel and recommended to visit again. Read less

Stayed here in 2017, was travelling with elderly parents to perform Umrah. The hotel was just brilliant, the location was around 300 yards from the Haram and ideal for the elderly travelling to and from the Haram performing the Umrah Rituals. The cleanliness of the accommodation and facilities were next to none. We had a room facing the Kabbah, what an amazing sight that was! The buffet breakfast, “Well what can I say! The variety was amazing. I don’t think I could identify all the dishes they were so plentiful. If shopping is a key feature of you pilgrim then rest assured you won’t get a better hotel than this! The back exit goes straight into the clock tower mall. Hopefully will be blessed to visit again soon! Read less

4 star hotel claiming 5 star. Reception Service is not exemplary, have to wait till 4 o clock although booking and advance payment has been paid. Rooms are clean and washrooms are OK. Room service needs improvement . Buffet taste and specifically entry process sucks as after charging so much money ,they force you to stand in long ques in order to identify at buffet hall entry.

We had a wonderful stay, and a big part of that was thanks to Abdul Hakim. He did an excellent job making sure our room was spotless and comfortable. The cleanliness was exceptional – the bathroom and toilet were thoroughly cleaned, and everything was left fresh and tidy. Abdul was also incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed like spare towels etc... and ensuring our room was Clean. His attention to detail and dedication to his work truly stood out. Excellent service and cleaning like this really makes a difference – thank you, Abdul Hakim, for helping make our stay so enjoyable! Read less

Stayed here December 2023 and it was a lovely stay. We weren't expecting much for a 3-star hotel but we were impressed by the standard and customer service. Our room was very spacious with two separate 'bedrooms' and a small kitchen which was very nice. The shower room was also very clean and spacious too. We didn't eat breakfast here so I cannot comment on that. The location is excellent, the hotel is very close to the ladies entrance/ prayer area to Masjid Nabawi, as well as all of the shops, restaurants and even pharmacies. Housekeeping staff were also very kind and helpful. Read less

The hotel location, staff, service, rooms and food was excellent. On arrival and departure the bell captain services were excellent and also Mr Abdulmalik at the reception provided an excellent service. The housekeeping staff on our floor ( 7th floor): Sajid Miah, Ramadan and Ruben were very helpful, and did a great job keeping the room clean. We ordered room service it was good although it took a long time to get order for some unknown reason. Areas of improvement: electrical outlets need to be fixed.

Their ‘Suhoor’ buffet ended almost a full HOUR before Fajr and when the lady behind us asked for water just after 4am (when fasting starts at 4:54am) they asked her for 6SR! Really poor way to treat people who pay good money for a SUHOOR buffet. Food however had good flavours. Reception was very rude and not friendly. Broken items in our suite: towel holder, toilet seat, TV, kettle. Not enough lifts for the number of guests they have, had to use stairs as queues for lifts were very long. Location was the only thing good about this hotel as very close to Masjid An Nabawi. Not worth the almost £1000/night we paid for this hotel as very poor service and customer service especially regarding the suhoor….kids were thirsty and hungry. Read less

The hotel is very close to the Haramain. Within few minutes you are in the Haramain. The lifts are very very busy. It is also used to take luggage up which restricts guests from using some of them. You can wait for long periods before getting into a lift. Other guests cut their way through into the lift, so be prepared to be patient. Fortunately I stayed on the 3rd Floor so I was able to use the stairs, but for elderly guests it might be a problem. The breakfast starts little later then other hotels. The beds are also slightly smaller than other hotels. You have to remind house keeping daily to make up your room. Although these issues, I will only return if I get a booking on level 2 or 3. Otherwise the lift really stresses me out. Read less

Location wise it's the best choice but other than that it's not worth the money I paid. The furniture and mirror had oily finger marks every where. Mirrors had some stick stuff. Even the bathroom door and frame had lots of splashes of dried up soap. Windows were so dirty from inside. I took my wipes and clean the whole thing as I wouldn't stay in such condition. I wasn't expecting this at all. So unhygienic. Rooms and hallways were so dingy. Carpet is disgusting. They gave us complimentary fruits that was so nice of them. My request to hotel management is to maintain a good cleanliness standard. Hotel itself is built nice but dirtiness killed the good vibe. Read less

I would recommend this hotel if you want to throw your money in the toilet. Housekeeping came at 10:30pm EVERY night instead of coming during the day. The food made us sick every time without fail. Every time we tried to order room service, they tried to convince us to go to the buffet instead, and by the time the food got delivered to our room, it’d already be cold (we didn’t even get our correct order sometimes). There are 3 elevators but half the time only one was in service, and it was ALWAYS filled at capacity so we’d be waiting up to 20 minutes just to try to get on. Our room neighbours were always screaming in the middle of the night so we didn’t even sleep well, and reception did nothing about it. Read less

I don’t even know where to start off. WORST hotel experience ever. As I came , to even get inside the area to go up to the lobby there was a huge line. The elevators take FOREVER, even though there are two different ones at two different locations. The hotel feels so cramped always a terrible scent within the hallways, and the room was the worst nightmare. Bed sheets have stains, carpets dirty, and a jungle of mess under the beds!!! Absolutely disgusting. Water heater was off the first day , someone came after 30 minutes and fixed it, the lights switch was behind my brothers pillow which was very annoying whenever he lay down. Rooms walls are so thin you can hear everything going on in the hallway and anyone walking by can hear anything you are saying in the room. There were flys and ants in the bathrooms. When my bags were dropped off the bell boy just rolled them to me aggressively and even hit my neighbors door and just left. There is a disturbing alarm that goes off every few hours even in the night time when you were sleeping. Employees say it’s no worry but alarm still went off for the 4-5 days I was there. Rooms never come with towels you always have to call and they take 20 minutes just to bring you towels. Rooms are so packed you have no room to store your luggage. Furthermore, back to the elevators , they take forever and are so tiny. The buttons to call for elevators are broken because of frustrating guests I am guessing. The restaurant they have smelled like dead fish every time you go there. And when I finally went to speak to the manager about this , he never apologized and told me to speak to my travel agent… I mean what kind of manager and hotel is this. This is not a hotel and more like a motel. I DON’T RECOMMEND this hotel to anyone. Read less
