Rooms are roomy, service was very good. Location is a bit far from the masjid, you need to calculate your timing. We asked for a quad bedroom and got a twin room with two extra beds, which wasn't ideal. However everything else was good. Breakfast presented plenty of variety: breads, fruits, salads, main courses. The view we got was also awesome, overlooking the grand masjid.

The hotel is really nice and clean. The in-house restaurant Zafaran is very good with a large selection of food from buffet for breakfast and dinner, and the waiters, supervisors and staff are very friendly and efficient. The housekeeping staff especially Mr. Ashraf was very helpful and took good care of us. He came by everyday to clean our room and provide water bottles and fresh towels. He made us feel comfortable and safe. The front desk and reception staff could do a little better with their customer service and willingness to help. But overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Ashraf Sardar, our room service person, was super helpful and nice! He came everyday and checked on us to make sure everything was set and talked to us and gave us recommendation for places. 10/10 service!
Will definitely be coming back 😊

My recent visit to DoubleTree by Hilton Makkah was absolutely outstanding, thanks to the exceptional service and warm hospitality of your team.
A special highlight of my stay was Hanouf, whose genuine hospitality and attentive care truly made me feel welcome and valued. Her professionalism, kindness, and willingness to go the extra mile left a lasting impression. Her warm demeanor and personalized attention made my experience at the hotel unforgettable.
I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to Hatin and Muhammad for their smooth and efficient check-in process. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail ensured a hassle-free arrival, setting the perfect tone for my stay.
Throughout my time at the hotel, I was impressed by the warm atmosphere, cleanliness, and comfort of the facilities. The team’s dedication to guest satisfaction was evident in every interaction.
Overall, my experience at DoubleTree by Hilton Makkah was truly exceptional, and it’s clear that your staff’s dedication and hospitality are key to your success. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Makkah and look forward to returning in the future.
Thank you once again to Hanouf, Hatin, Muhammad, and the entire team for the hospitality.

This is our second omrah as a couple, when we went omrah for our first time, a hotel we will not name was terrible, very far, and left us ill. We promised to make up for our terrible experience by booking in a prestigious high profile hotel, our choice was Hilton Double Tree Jabal Omar.
Location:
Was great all in all compared to other hotels, it’s approximately 500 meters away from the haram.
Rooms:
Our room was pretty pristine and clean, so dirt was to be found, the beds and sheets were spotless. The view from the windows was mesmerizing.
Service:
Service was great, no complaints at all. The staff are very attentive to the needs of the guests.
Restaurant:
Food was palatable and good, but nothing special. It does lack variety, it could use more protein.
The restaurant staff were very kind, we want to give a huge shoutout to Saddam, he was very cooperative and caring.

I was working during the construction of DoubleTree hotel until the handing over in 2020 but today it was the first time to visit the hotel as a guest after operation.
I’m so grateful for the excellent service and the great welcoming attitude from all hotel staff especially Ms. Mardia in reception and Islam in concierge.
Bus transportation to and from Haram was always available 24 hours. The breakfast was amazing and diversified. The welcoming cookies was so delicious. Rooms were so clean and new. Mattresses were so soft.
I enjoyed my stay in Doubletree hotel. Thanks for your great and extraordinary service.

Room service and housekeeping were always instantly on hand and helpful during what must be an extremely busy time.
The kind and polite staff make this hotel a very comfortable experience.
It is a little bit difficult to get to the Haram for those wishing to pray in the main Mosque but the shuttle buses that leave every two minutes make things very easy.

Entrance and lobby area is beautiful. Very nice rooms but furniture (like chairs and sofas) had stains, even in the lobby. Bus service is amazing! Always available and drops off at a convenient location, just in front of the haram. Breakfast was great tho I think it can use a little more variety and some less meat dishes. Overall good experience.

One more thing the support we received to upgrade to standard room from Mrs.Merida at the reception during check in was never forgettable.She supported as a family member from Day-1 till check out and we were so lucky.
Shuttle service was too good and you can expect every 2 minutes.

Special mention to the shuttle service, there was a shuttle every minute that we didn't even have to wait to and fro.
The only downside was the housekeeping ,we felt that the rooms could have been cleaned and maintained better

The hotel is relatively new. It is beautiful and the staff are courteous. The staff do their best to make the clients happy. The negative thing here is that there's a constant stench from the drainage holes in the bathrooms, it's very disgusting. It's a short walk to the Haram and the hotel pro ides a bus shuttle to convey the elderly as well. The shuttle isn't reliable however and clients have to join the shuttle for the nearby Marriot and Hilton hotels. It would be good if the management can work harder on the housekeeping service and the rooms aren't exceptionally cleaned by the staff. I'm not even sure the housekeeping staff use an hoover there's dirt on the floor. I had to request a room change due to cleanliness. Y

I booked this property for my stay in Makkah and I figured out this hotel is closed. Just a day before my arrival someone called me from the hotel and told me that I will be moved to an another property which was extremely old and dirty. Wonder why would they let the guests book this hotel when it’s not operating. They make you book thinking you’re booking a new hotel but then end up sending you to old property! They are trying to play with customers. Really disappointing,

Actually I didn't really stay here. I incidentally found out that this hotel transferred my booking to another hotel. The hotel acted on their own without informing me in advance and without notifying me after the change they did. I accidentally found it out the morning of my intended check-in day. Moreover their phone line is never responding as I desperately tried calling them to inquire on this surprising change!! The other hotel "Hilton Makkah and Convention Center" was another example of how bad hospitality can be. I will write a seperate review on their page!!

Great sized rooms, good value for money, good location with super shuttle service which is regular. Could do with greater variety of food selection during buffet times to include juices, fruit, more intercontinental food and not just catering for groups. Better cleaning could be beneficial. Better in room coffee selection to include coffee not just only decaf coffee. Otherwise, very good service.

The is beautiful, spacious & clean hotel. But the housekeeping service is very very poor and bad. Been told about water in the room be given once a day, but we haven't get our water for the next day. Called many times & the housekeeper promised to send it to our room but non showing.
So sad having a very prestigious hotel but with VERY BAD HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE. Room also not very clean after get a housekeeping.
Expecting a great superb service from this hotel but disappointed instead.
Improve your housekeeping service please.

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.

It was okay. The room was somewhat clean. The bathroom and room had an odor. Bathroom hygiene would be 5/10. Had to open the window for fresh air.

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 .
Overall food was good .

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.

Booked the deluxe 17 day non shifting package for Hajj 2023 through the Nusuk Hajj website. Alhamdullilah excellent service received throughout. Brother Tofayel was our allocated guide. He was an excellent & thoroughly experienced guide.
Realised pretty quickly our mindset had to change, this isn’t like a normal holiday that you’ve spent a huge amount of money on. This whole journey is a test THERE WILL BE DIFFICULTIES IN HAJJ so be warned most definitely your patience will be tested you’ve have been invited by the Almighty to perform Hajj so go with zero expectations. Again this isn’t like a holiday where you spent thousands so you demand & expect an equally high level of service. Things will go wrong, travel logistics will change this is test on how you react when they do. You spend 15K then demand that Allah swt forgives all your sins at hajj. Even if you spent 100k your money would never be worthy of having your sins forgiven.
Alhamdullilah changing my mindset to this ensured I had a Fantastic experience with excellent levels of service and attention to detail from Al Bait guests. Would definitely recommend.

We are doing Hajj this year and Hijaz is the partner Nusuk paired us with. I would highly recommend prospective pilgrims to avoid them. There is lack of accountability, communication and organization. I understand hajj poses a lot of logistical challenges due to sheer number of people but that is no excuse for leaving pilgrims in limbo. Just a couple examples: When our flight reached Miqat 20-30 minutes before Jeddah, the pilot announced that we had just passed the miqat point. People were shy to start the Talbiya (Labbayk) and the guides sit there like everybody else. Few minutes later, a passenger took it upon himself walking down the aisle saying Talbiya aloud and encouraging others to join in. When we were doing the umrah the first night we arrived in Makkah, the “religious scholar†they appointed to lead the group in umrah said we are going to offer Tahiyyatul Masjid salah before starting the tawaf which is exactly what many books and workshops I attended said not to do. He later was corrected by someone in the group. Due to lack of communication and planning, lots of people from our group missed staying the night of 11 DhulHajj in Mina and were stuck in Makkah hotels because there was no transportation arrangement. They waited until 11pm to let some people know an alternative way to get to Mina. Those who tried spent the next 5-6 hours trying to get to Mina. Also, instead of communicating these transportation options in the Telegram groups for everyone’s benefit they just announced it one of the hotel lobbies for anyone who might be there. People were desperately asking questions on the group and were ignored. They removed the ability to post text messages to the Telegram group chats in the middle of the hajj. Arafat was another story with many people passing out due to non working A/C in the tents. No transportation was provided on 10th or 11th of DH from Mina or Jamarat back to Hotels. Again, may be understandable due to logistical challenges but there were no communication on what alternatives are there until it was too late. On top of 15,000 we spent on the hajj package people had to pay exorbitant taxi fares to get to and from Mina. It is very clear to me that the guides are not good communicators and they don’t take responsibility.
Looks like most Hajj related 5 star comments are from 2022 and because they issued a full refund when people could not go.

I went to Hajj 2023 with Hijaz Travel, and I’m posting a five star review specifically because of Sisters Azra and Salina, and Brothers Kabir/Toufayel. My elderly mother became extremely extremely unwell on Arafat and I knew that I had to get her all the way back to her Makkah accommodations as soon as possible. Not only did they take my mothers condition seriously, they waited with us for hours to make sure we could get back from this restricted area to Makkah. They were also kind and gentle with us the entire time. I will never forget especially how Sister Azra was there for us in our time of need.

Booked the deluxe 17 day non shifting package for Hajj 2023 through the Nusuk Hajj website. Alhamdullilah excellent service received throughout. Brother Tofayel was our allocated guide. He was an excellent & thoroughly experienced guide.
Realised pretty quickly our mindset had to change, this isn’t like a normal holiday that you’ve spent a huge amount of money on. This whole journey is a test THERE WILL BE DIFFICULTIES IN HAJJ so be warned most definitely your patience will be tested you’ve have been invited by the Almighty to perform Hajj so go with zero expectations. Again this isn’t like a holiday where you spent thousands so you demand & expect an equally high level of service. Things will go wrong, travel logistics will change this is test on how you react when they do. You spend 15K then demand that Allah swt forgives all your sins at hajj. Even if you spent 100k your money would never be worthy of having your sins forgiven.
Alhamdullilah changing my mindset to this ensured I had a Fantastic experience with excellent levels of service and attention to detail from Al Bait guests. Would definitely recommend.

Very efficient. Very professional service. Good communication
Sadly due to the new Hajj rules that came in very late in 2022, we were unable to proceed with our Hajj with Hijaz however they made the communications to us very detailed and also swiftly refunded the money without any hesitations.
Many travellers and agents were effected by the new rules that Saudi introduced (the need to book directly with online system) however despite this set back, Hijaz communicated the situation with me and also refunded our deposit.
I will use again for other travels in future inshallah

My Wife and I booked Hajj 2022 also have paid part of expense , however the Saudi government changed the process in the last 10 days then Hijaz also returned 100% of the funds that we had deposited as requested. Thank you to the Hijaz team for assisting us from the beginning to the last day.
