I had an amazing experience thanks to the incredible staff at the restaurant. I want to especially highlight Simon and Kisul – they were both extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. Their kindness and attention to detail made our dining experience truly memorable. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Thank you so much, Simon and Kisul – you truly deserve 5 stars and more!

Very good choice for Hajj & Umrah trips as location of this hotel is close to Haram and even in future when third Saudi expansion finishes , this hotel will be on one of new entrances to Haram.
Very helpful & supportive staff from various departments.
Very good restaurants & food.
Very good rooms and housekeeping.
I would like to thank everyone of staff and especially Daloar Hosen from housekeeping as I interacted with him on daily basis for keeping our room clean & tidy.

We booked this hotel for me and family (12 of us). Its a 5min walk to the haraam. The service was excellent and the rooms were super clean, they would clean it every day or whenever you ask them to. They are professional and kind. Always holding the doors and greeting you. They even open lifts for you! I would recommend this hotel with my eyes closed. Thank you so much, I would definitely book again in the future in sha Allah ☺️

Outstanding Service at the Chocolate Lounge!!
I had a wonderful experience at the Chocolate Lounge in the Sheraton Makkah Jabal Al Kaaba Hotel, thanks to Abdul Majeed. His customer service was exceptional. He went above and beyond to help us arrange our transportation from Makkah to Marina, making everything seamless and stress-free.
The food and drinks were equally impressive! The tea and coffee were fantastic, and the croissants and pastries were a true delight.
If you’re in Makkah, don’t miss out on this gem! Highly recommended for both the service and the delicious treats!

I stayed here for 16 days and the service is beyond 5 star. Everything from the reception, to housekeeping, the team at the Lounge on floor 12 ( Nashwa, Amr and team) went over and beyond with outstanding service. I felt more than at home. A special thanks to Loujain and the duty manager I spoke to for accommodating my stay and doing everything they could to make it worth while. It is close to the haram( 5-10 min). I will definitely recommend this hotel and would love to come back, Insha'Allah.

Breakfast was great. Location was great. Nothing negative.
Due to construction, the bridge that leads directly to the masjid is closed. It would be unfair to fault the hotel for this, but the detour is a little lengthy and should be noted.

Two restaurants, a coffee shop, and a rooftop bar
A fitness center, a swimming pool, and a spa
A business center and a meeting room
24-hour room service

The hotel is also well-maintained and clean, and the facilities are in excellent condition.
Overall, the Sheraton Makkah is a great choice for travelers who are looking for a luxurious and convenient hotel in Mecca.
Here are some pros and cons of the Sheraton Makkah:
Pros:
Convenient location
Spacious rooms
Stunning views of the Grand Mosque
Excellent service
Well-maintained facilities
Cons:
Can be crowded during peak seasons
Prices can be high
Some rooms can be noisy
Overall, the Sheraton Makkah is a great choice for travelers who are looking for a luxurious and convenient hotel in Mecca. The hotel is well-located, has spacious rooms with stunning views, and offers excellent service. However, it can be crowded during peak seasons and prices can be high.
Here are some tips for staying at the Sheraton Makkah:
Book your stay in advance: The hotel is very popular, so it is best to book your stay in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak seasons.
Request a room with a view: The rooms with views of the Grand Mosque are in high demand, so it is best to request one when you book your stay.
Be prepared for crowds: The hotel can be crowded during peak seasons, so be prepared for long lines at the restaurants and the spa.
Bring a water bottle: The hotel does not provide free water bottles, so it is best to bring your own.
Wear comfortable shoes: You will be doing a lot of walking around the hotel and the Grand Mosque, so it is best to wear comfortable shoes.
I hope this helps!

Everything was perfect and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived at the property, the attentive staff greeted me with warm, friendly smiles. Big thanks to all of them especially: Rageh Abdullah, Security Supervisor, Mehdi Al Hudhali and all the wonderful restaurant staff. The hotel's proximity to the Haram made its location really excellent for me. In addition, the presence of a bridge connecting the hotel to the new expansion of the campus increased the factor of convenience and ease of access.

I will start with the hotel staff. They are the most welcoming I have ever experienced in my history of traveling. They are always keen to help, always smile and are always ready to step an extra mile. The location of the hotel is in a walking distance to the Haram. You need to make sure to leave a bit early because the area is super crowded. The breakfast is decent but I would love to see more healthy choices. The rooms are super clean and as expected from Sheraton.

Modern and comfortable hotel with plenty of elevators so you don't have to wait long even during busy periods. Breakfast was good. We had breakfast at the back up restaurant on 2 out of 3 days when the main one was full. Both were almost the same except filter coffee was a bit slow to be refilled. Special thanks to our 11th floor housekeeper Mr Saju who was kind and helpful. The connecting bridge was not operational. Walking back to the hotel requires negotiating a steep path at the end.

Good hotel. ~5 minute walk from haram. Good quality rooms.
The bad:
Less than ideal experience. As an ambassador, they gave me a good upgrade, but not before telling me 7 times about the sacrifices they had to make to make it happen
Water pressure in the bathroom shower was weak
Elevator system is really suboptimal, expect to wait a lot in peak times
They take ~60 minutes to respond to Marriott app messages
Finally, they couldn't properly assist in a simple task of helping me find a taxi to go to the airport.
Good overall but will try Marriott Jabal Omar next time

A very disappointing experience, in terms of looks and feel the hotel is nice. The lobby always smells nice when entering and there are several lifts to get you to the required floor. The biggest disappointment has been the actual rooms, the electricity has been deliberately wired in a way to make it hard for people to sleep or charge their devices. This means in order to have power to the sockets and charge your devices, you will need to keep the rooms lights on, obviously this makes it so uncomfortable after a long day in the masjid, you just want to come back and relax with just one lamp on and devices on charge to communicate with your loved ones. We also had several issues with our bathroom, with clogged shower & sink drain, and toilet flushing issues. To top it off we had some water leak in the bathroom from the roof, this had me worried as I did not know if this water is clean or not, and could it get mixed electrical wiring and cause a fire. This is clearly not a 5 star hotel more like a 3/4 star. The hotel chain should be ashamed of making things difficult for the guests of Allah, instead of making things easier. Electrical charging points should be a standard feature in any hotel chain, never mind one that classes itself as 5 star. The beds are smaller than expected, especially when compared to the single beds we had at Pullman Zam Zam Makkah. The location is great as it is only 3-4 mins to get to the masjid and is ideal for ladies as it closer to their entry points by gate 339. Unfortunately I would NOT use this hotel again, purely because of the deliberate inconvenience it has caused with its intentional electrical wiring design.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was booked for 3 people and all three beds were comfortable. The location was great, you cross the road and the woman’s gate is right there which was super convenient. Plenty of shops around for food/shopping. Breakfast was okay, could be better in terms of variety but not that bad. The hotel is easily accessible for uber which made travelling further out convenient. The staff were lovely and helpful. I would recommend this hotel especially if you are travelling with a lot of women.

While my stay wasn’t bad, I was shocked to discover that the hotel used my name to post a detailed positive review on Booking.com—something I never wrote! (Screenshot of the review they wrote is attached here). This is completely unacceptable and has never happened to me before. It raises serious concerns about how they maintain such a high rating (9 on Booking.com) despite being a fairly average hotel. If this is how they operate, I cannot recommend them.

This place is inside the ring road. Attitude of reception and security is bad. The property insists on payment even if you have the option of free cancellation after so many days claiming they don't have the option of getting the payment using the credit card. They agree to provide you with free parking and turn a deaf ear once you reach. Housekeeping people are dedicated to their work. Walkability to the masjid and to the female praying area are a huge bonus. Asian food options outside the property are too bad.

The rooms don't have charger outlets and for those which are having lamps, if you put your charger it will stop charging once you switch off the lights.
Ongoing noises coming from the AC vents, room door malfunction noise, water pipe bubbling from the toilet, it's like you are sleeping in a haunted hotel, once you go out of the room it looks good.
The buffet was good, but not authentic cuisine, they had hummus which was not atlal authentic, seemed like you are eating something else .
Like who goes wrong with the humus when the chef is arab .

This hotel doesn’t deserve a single star. Very old furniture and beds squeaking every time someone moves. Bad smell in the bathroom and room wasn’t clean when we got there. Rather than changing the room the kept us 1 hour waiting. The only good thing is the location to Haram but better avoid it as there are plenty of other hotels in the area. Don’t be tempted by the pictures and the price. Not worth it at all.

We used Hajj and Umrah Express back in October to plan an Umrah trip for April. Everything was done incredibly quickly and efficiently. All my needs and requirements were listened to, and we got everything we wanted.
As for our trip, alhamdulillah it was the smoothest journey. Taha was constantly in touch with us regarding our flights, when we landed, providing advice, bookings on the nusuk app and transport between each city and the airports. We didn't have to worry about anything as it was all sorted for us.
This really was such an unforgettable experience, and having the company do the admin work for you, made a huge difference. Alhamdulillah would absolutely use them again, and will be recommending them to everyone who wants to go. They have loads of packages available but you can also tailor your own personalised one.
Very grateful to Taha for making my du'a an effortless reality.

This umrah agent was recommended by my brother as he’s been travelling with them for some years. I was a bit unsure as there seemed to be a lack of clarity about exact details of the package, but I went ahead so I could accompany my brother. In the end, I was very impressed at how smoothly the trip went. I have been blessed to make umrah several times before, so I can say that H&U Express did a great job with flights, hotels and transport. I was especially happy with the hotels and how quickly we were able to check in. My wife and daughters were also highly satisfied with the package. We chose not take part in any of the tours, so I cannot comment there.
One recommendation is that it should be made clear where we should meet the tour guide when first arriving at the airport.
Our guide throughout the trip, Ali, was extremely polite and helpful. Jazakallah khairah to him (and to Taha) for making this a positive experience.

Alhamdulillah, second, I thank Sheikh Mahdi for teaching us the importance of our deen and giving us the best experience. You taught us that 'This religion did not come easy.' The knowledge and the history that you made us see of our Beloved Prophet S.A.W. were really emotional and educational. You made this trip a memorable one. I pray that Allah accepts all your duas and grants you Jannah al-Firdaws. I also want to send thanks to the team who helped us with booking our Umrah.

Asalaam Alaiykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
I recently had the privilege of being invited to Umrah through Hajj and Umrah Express and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience.
The booking process was quick and painless thanks to the efforts of the travel agent, Taha.
Big shout out to Sheikh Mahdi who made this Umrah my most memorable yet. From the time we arrived in Medina, he greeted us with a huge smile and truly felt like we were under his care throughout the time we were with him.
Sheikh impressed upon us a few key themes throughout our Umrah which helped to focus our reflections during our journey. One of these reflections and was Gratitude. Every interaction with the Sheikh involved the dhikr of Alhamdulillah and with it our appreciation of the blessings of Allah upon us.
Sheikh Mahdi was always so quick to offer help. The day we arrived we had an issue with some of our luggage going missing at the airport. With a big reassuring smile Sheikh assured us "this, this is not be a problem", and before the day was out the luggage was back with us, Alhamdulillah.
We also greatly enjoyed the extended ziyaraat that the Sheikh organised for us, taking us to areas surrounding Medina and Makkah that we had not visited on our previous trips. The Sheikh brought these places alive with stories from the Seerah of our beloved Prophet SAW.
Overall the journey has been amazing and I look forward to booking future travels with Hajj and Umrah Express

Such an incredible experience, made so much more beneficial by the team at Hajj and umrah express. Sheikh Mahdi taught us valuable lessons and informed us on the importance of islams holiest sites as well as taking us on excursions which made the trip so much more uniquely memorable. With everything sorted for us we didn’t have to think at all about where or who to go to because the team had it covered. Highly highly recommend this group for anybody looking to perform hajj/umrah. May Allah reward them immensely.

The key takeaway from my Umrah trip was that "This religion did not come easy" and truly under the guidance of Sheikh El Mahdi, his wisdom and gems and all the places we visited in Makkah, and especially in Medinah, this stuck with me. The second was, what do we as Muslims do and what are we offering of ourselves for our religion? Listening to the talks, and having the space to reflect was a great addition to the trip itself.
For my first umrah, I am very happy to have chosen Hajj & Umrah Express, Brother Taha was very supportive from the onset and quick with answering questions I had at any time. I was able to organise the whole trip just through chat on WhatsApp. The only point to mention in this regard to make the experience better would be receiving details earlier (hotels etc.) Having said this, the call prior to the trip with Sheikh was very useful in providing the need to know details as well as the whatsapp group chat which is still active! The group was lovely too.
Sheikh was amazing ALHAMDULLILAH. From saying alhamdullilah, to reciting Labbaik in the most soothing voice, to guiding us through the first umrah as a group, having conversations, ice cream, his humour and recommendations for gifts - he truly made the journey special. The places we visited made the experience richer such as Uhud, Badr, Masjid Quba, Camels 🐫 and Sand Dunes to name some.
Feedback: Being able to spend more time at the places in Makkah as we got delayed in starting the tour that day.
- provide recommendations for places to visit /areas of interest during free days
- Booking the Rawda: was recommended the evening slot but from experience and talking to others, for women early morning slots are quieter and less rushed (please recommend early morning for ladies in future)
Overall, glad to have completed my first umrah trip with Sheikh and H&UE and I will definitely recommend to others.😊 Alhamdullilah

Just want to start off by saying thank you to
Sheikh EL Mahdi For making my journey possible and for making me in to a better Muslim, and more of an knowledgeable person in our religion, with his experience and knowledge, he really did teach me a lot about our journey and have our religion has suffered to get to this point. with such a large group, he did give individual attention and care when needed.
He definitely deserves all the coffee that he gets on this trips
Just want to start off by Palestine (Jerusalem) wow such a magical place the knowledge that was given to us about the old city was amazing, I loved this place so much thinking to go back at the end of year , our accommodation was perfect, clean rooms, home-cooked, food and breakfast was was wonderful, it’s run by local people which made me feel at home, friendly and welcoming
Next step Mecca
Again Sheikh EL Mahdi who was really helpful to me throughout the process of my umra. Our hotel was amazing convenient to get it anywhere you like , the view for my room was amazing , breakfast was delicious and so many options. Couldn’t ask for anything more from this part of our journey, and at this point our group felt like a family , which felt beautiful.
Last stop Medina
Again, our accommodation was perfect, easy to get to to everywhere you like , the staff are friendly and very helpful , rooms were very clean. We did have a day trip with the group and again, the knowledge that was given to us was priceless. I learnt so much about our religion and I didn’t know.
Overall, if I could give 10 stars, i loved every minute of my journey with is this establishment?and I would definitely go again,
Just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it possible to have such a beautiful experience on the spiritual journey
