Stay away at all costs. Very very dirty. The reviews on here are lies. No fresh coffee for breakfast. Charging 25 sar for a coffee at the coffee shop. Found a cockroach in my room. Carpet is extremely dirty. About 15 min walk to haram. Very overpriced hotel. Definitely not a 5 star hotel. Cleaning staff tried their best, and was very nice. But no use when the hotel carpet is very dirty and smells. This hotel needs to buy new carpets.

I had a pleasant 2-day stay at Makarem Ajyad Makkah Hotel. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, providing the perfect place to relax after a long day.
Breakfast at the Zamzam Buffet was a highlight of my stay. The variety of dishes was impressive, and the service from the waitstaff was excellent. The dining area was spotless, and the team maintained a high level of hygiene while being friendly and welcoming throughout.
The lobby was a bit crowded at times, but it’s understandable given the hotel’s prime location and popularity. However, the complimentary station of snacks and drinks in the lobby was a fantastic touch. A big thanks to the chef and the team for this thoughtful gesture.
it truly enhanced the experience.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this hotel for its comfort, excellent service, and attention to detail.

Here's a review about my stay at the Ajyad Makareem Makkah hotel:
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Ajyad Makareem Makkah hotel, and I must say it was an incredibly enjoyable experience. The hotel's location is superb, with only a 5-minute walk to the Masjid al-Haram gate, making it extremely convenient for performing Umrah.
The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, particularly Rofiq ,Tofazzul, and Saiful Islam , the housekeeping staff member, who stood out for his exceptional warmth and hospitality. I truly appreciated the service provided by Rofiq and the rest of the staff.
The hotel rooms were also spacious and clean, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere during my stay. The facilities provided were comprehensive and adequate.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Ajyad Makareem Makkah hotel and hope to have the opportunity to stay again on my next Umrah journey. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to perform Umrah or visit Makkah.

This hotel was bad. I have no idea where they got their 5-star rating from.
The only good thing is the bedding. Everything else was disappointing. The rooms are old, the common areas aren’t very clean, and the reception is chaotic—I waited almost an hour for my room. There’s no parking, the bathrooms smell bad when using water. At breakfast, flies are all around you while eating.
For the high price, I deeply regret not choosing the Hyatt Regency next door, which looked much better for a similar rate. I hesitated until the last minute… Definitely not a hotel I recommend.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The walking distance to Masjid Haram was convenient and not too tiring, and the hotel was clean and well-maintained.
However, I would like to suggest that the management provide more staff to assist with luggage during check-in and check-out.
When I checked out, I requested assistance three times, but unfortunately, no one came to help. This was quite inconvenient, especially for guests with heavy luggage.
I hope the hotel improves its service in this regard to enhance the guest experience.

I stayed at this hotel for 5 days during Hajj time. The food was amazing. They had different cuisines and good quality food. Cleaning service was good as well. Employee Muhammad Saeed took our feedback and provided the food that we asked for. Everyone has good manners and I would give it a 5/5 experience. Also the location is so close to the Haram so it is very convenient to go their often.

The condition at the old building was chaos (the table & chair arranged like warehouse, and also no bed at the other room). Terrible. But the condition in my room was perfect!

I stayed at Zamzam Medina for 10 days and had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. The hotel was spotless, and the room was cleaned perfectly every day. I had a standard room, which was comfortable and well-maintained. The breakfast included was delicious, with a good variety of options. The location is excellent — very close to the Haram and convenient for everything. I would definitely stay here again.

Stay was good,on arrival we encountered a few complications in terms of persons however guest relations were very helpful and ensured the issue was resolved.as part of my birthday they also upgraded to junior suite. The decor is very outdated however I must say all services are on point and we did not have any issues. Breakfast was very busy but easily flowing and lot of variety. Loved how close Haram was to the hotel and good location especially for the men as the gates to mosque for men were very close! Hotel is lovely staff are amazing and I had a really good stay.

Mohammed Kamal out of his way to offer great recommendations and made sure I had everything I needed. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and customer-focused. He truly made me feel at home. Thank you, Mohammed Kamal, for your exceptional hospitality — you are a true asset to the hotel!

Excellent Stay at Pullman Zamzam Madinah
I had a wonderful experience at the Pullman Zamzam Hotel in Madinah. The service throughout our stay was consistently good — from check-in to check-out, the staff were attentive and professional.
The rooms are a good size, clean, and well-maintained, offering a comfortable space to relax after a long day. Both breakfast and dinner were impressive, with a wide variety of options that catered to different tastes.
A special mention goes to Mahmoud, who provided exceptional service during both breakfast and dinner. His warm and welcoming attitude really stood out and made our meals even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Madinah — great location, excellent amenities, and outstanding hospitality.
Let me know if you want it more formal, casual, or in a different tone!

Excellent place for stay. Rates are reasonable. The staff is most courteous and help. All of them speak English and other languages. Specially the buffet staff provide best experience. Food choices can be improved by adding more Pakistani, sub continent flavor.
Rooms are clean but no smoking law us not followed and imposed by the hotel. One if my room was stinking with smoke and they changed it right away.
Washrooms seems to need a bit TLC.
Over all great experience.

This hotel is a full package. Everything was on point. They have a shuttle bus for the ladies, to make it easier for us to get to the women's section of haram. The location in itself is great. There's plenty of shops nearby, pharmacies, hospital etc all a minutes walk away. The service was great. They would appear moments after a request. Communication was great too. Highly recommend for a comfortable stay, to make your spiritual journey special and memorable.

My father and I had a mixed bag of experiences at this hotel but ended up happy with the stay.
When we arrived at the location we were told that there were no rooms at the upper floors. We were given a third floor room that hadn't properly been cleaned. We were then offered a room of the same size on the eighth floor... So obviously they didn't offer the best room to us in the first place.
Another problem was that after extending for one day the hotel repeatedly called us insisting that we hadn't paid. It turned out it was a fault in their system.
Finally, despite making booking for 2 people, the hotel said only one person could attend breakfast. How, in a room for 2, can you say only one person could attend breakfast?
Now, despite all these problems the hotel staff did provide quick solutions and were courteous and apologetic. On the final day the hotel manager called us personally and went above and beyond in apologizing and providing us with ample time to check out.
The room itself was not particularly stellar. The beds were fine and I appreciated the complimentary fruits, sweets, water and utilities like iron table, prayer rug, and so on. The bathroom could be better as I really don't like open showers. The roof floor restaurant and the staff working there are excellent.
The best thing about this hotel is obviously the location. You can't beat it.

Exceptionally bad hotel. 5 stars? Yes they only charge like a 5 star hotel. The services? Nope. Worst services ever.
Despite having checked in online we waited in the queue and finally when it was our turn we were told that the room was not prepared and to wait for 30 more minutes.
After waiting for an hour. We were brought to the dirtiest room ever. Dust everywhere. The coffee machine promised was not there. We are 4 adults yet the amenities were for a single person. Despite calling for water and amenities for hours, they ARE NOT RESPONDING!
I AM HERE RIGHT NOW and even after complaining to their so called managers, none of them leading me to the real one, they are just making empty promises and doing nothing
Please everyone, prefer a 1 star over this one. Trust me you would get better service and cleanliness there for the best price. I am literally being humiliated here for paying such a large amount of money.
I'll see if I can attach pics to show the dirtiest of the room

I have rated this hotel five stars based on earlier experience as I was impressed by the hotel service and the kindness of the staff, in addition to the newness of the hotel and its great location.
However, based on my new experience I have taken two stars as it did not meet my expectations this time.
The rooms’ furniture deteriorated, and so is the service especially from the reception. We asked for a room upgrade, and were told that no rooms were available although it was obvious that this was not the case, and rooms were available on the Booking. I had to speak to the shift manager to get the room upgrade. The breakfast arrived cold and did not meet the request. The laundry services are very expensive even by hotels’ standard.
I am keeping the three stars for two reasons:
- the swift response from the shift manager and his kindness in changing the room in a very short time.
- the kindness of the housekeeping staff, especially, Suhail Rana.

My first stay here was really nice. The executive suite my family had booked was spacious and clean. Over time, it has began to become run down. My family and I found the beds in the twin room in the executive suite were extremely soft. I literally was in pain sleeping in that bed. 😞 We found writing and scrabbles on the lamp in the living room, marks and scratches on the wall. More work needs to go into this hotel.
On the plus side, it's proximity to the Haram is pretty good. The walk isn't that far. Good exercise 🚶â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ‘Œ

I recently took this company to court to get a refund that they owed me for 4.5 years. I easily won the case once they realised that, according to legal judgment criteria, they were a few weeks away from being deemed insolvent and subsequently closed down. I can evidence this if required.
The court berated the company's three directors for non-compliance of government legislation around travel industry consumer protections.
Also, the directors were incoherent during their defence, according to the judges. Each of the directors had different - often contradictory - views and accounts about the facts of the case. Their inconsistencies and scattiness in presentation were immediately detected by the judges.
I have no doubt that this company offers a good pilgrimage service. I have no reason to believe otherwise.
My negative review relates to their unjust and illegal refund policy, as determined by the court.
AVOID booking with this company If you want complete peace of mind for your trip. Book with a company that can demonstrate that they follow UK consumer law, particularly in relation to refund policy.

Five star. I went with Elsawy to do my first Umrah with my family. From my initial discussion to my Umrah completion it was really first class. Everything that was on the itinerary was fulfilled plus more. Personal service provided by the Elsawy family member was excellent throughout. Mostafa and his Saudi representative (smart English talking man) had made our experience simple by giving us step by step instructions, then they followed it up with messages. The group itself was made up of about 6 different nationalities and different age groups (eldest 75 to youngest 9) everyone got on so well and quickly became friends. Both hotels Pullman zam zam Medinah and Mekeram Ajyad Mekkah were both very good and in fantastic locations and good friendly staff. Mostafa planned our tawaaf for midnight to 2am this was one of the best times to visit because of the month of Ramadan Kaaba area gets extremely busy. We went again using his timing and found it was the perfect timing. Elsway provided us with memorable gifts and to top it all off was at Heathrow airport when the owner of the company himself was waiting to greet and congratulate us all. This is truly a wonderful family owned business that really cares about their customers. No surprise that it has been going on for 40 years and took the first pilgrimages to Hajj from the uk and possibly Europe.
When I was at their Central London office near Baker st. I met one of his clients who went with Elsawy travels to Umrah/Hajj 26 times. Well done and looking forward to going with you again inshallah. Jazak’Allah khair.

This is truly a wonderful family owned business that really cares about their customers. No surprise that it has been going on for 40 years and took the first pilgrimages to Hajj from the uk and possibly Europe.
When I was at their Central London office near Baker st. I met one of his clients who went with Elsawy travels to Umrah/Hajj 26 times. Well done and looking forward to going with you again inshallah. Jazak’Allah khair.

Me and my wife went for Hajj with this amazing group in 2018. I highly recommend El-Sawy travel in particularly for their organization, communication and very personal experience. They tailored our travel from Dubai which really helped and also going to Medina first is the best way as getting through the airport is very easy. The guides and Imam really helped us throughout the Hajj and were able to answer all our questions and provided guidance when needed.
Thank you so much for delivering the highest standards and making our Hajj go very smoothly
May Allah SWT accept it from us. Ameen

Alhamdulilah this is my families second time to travel with Elsawy Travel ltd it was a truly blessed & excellent service always and my family and I couldn’t be any happier! We are looking forward to travelling again Inshallah with ElSawy. We were well looked after and catered for and very well organised. He made sure that my mum who is in a wheelchair was well equipped and my mums Umrah went smoothly. Alhamdulilah the hotel was amazing and close distance to the haraam. It was a comfortable experience for all of us and we look forward to travelling again Inshallah with ElSawy! May Allah reward you all for your efforts and hard work my family really appreciate it! Jazakallahukairun 😊

Assalamualaikum ww, Alhamdulillah I am so grateful that I decided to experience my 2021 Umrah with ElSawy Travelel. Excellent service, understanding, kind, genuine and generous Uncle and Brothers. Really took care of me and my 3yo daughter, May Allah reward you for all the effort you all put into the 2021 Umrah trip especially as it was during the ongoing pandemic. Mustafa ElSawy really took full responsibility and care of the whole group making sure everyone was happy and well looked altered, accompanying us to Masjidul Ayesha for several Umrahs whilst we was in Makkah. He made sure anyone in need of help was supported wholeheartedly. My daughter adored Mustafa for the kindness he showed towards her. I will 100% be going again and probably forever actually for all Umrah and Hajj InShaAllah in the future with ElSawy Travels. The hotels were beautiful and clean to, great location, comfortable coach transport and guide for Masjid Quba, Mount Uhud, Masjid Qiblatain and Date Farm in Madinah. Overall loved the experience and I will definitely and have already recommended Elsawy Travels to friends and Family, in order for us all to have a safe peace of mind journey. May Allah shower his mercy, rizq, Barakah and blessings on Elsawy Travels. Ameen. Barakahlahu Feeki. Rasul. :)ðŸ¤

We have gone as a family with Mr Hamdy Elsawy (Elsawy travel company) in one of the best journeys I have been before we went to Macca and Medina for the first time
in Medina we stayed at Almuna Karim leader hotel which is one of the best hotels it was just five minutes walk from the entrance to Almasjid Alnanbawy. were able to pray in the first lines within just five minutes of leaving the hotel.
The rooms were spacious and the breakfast was very nice.
Then we travelled by bus to Mecca where we stayed in Makarym Ajyad Hotel. The hotel was just eight minutes walk from the door of Al Kaaba Almusharafa.
Mr Moustafa Alsawy was with us throughout the whole journey
We were able to perform three Umrah and this was with the help of Moustafa who was very knowledgeable and he helped us with any difficulty we faced. He didn't leave us at all. The air flights and transport were arranged for us . I strongly recommend Elsawy Travel for any Hajj or Umrah.
