5 – Excellent! We are very pleased with our stay. Everything has been excellent, from the service to the overall hospitality. We truly appreciate the care and professionalism shown by your entire team. A special thanks to Zahidul Islam(Door Man)His warm welcome and kind farewell made our experience even more memorable.

Have a great day!

Room was excellent and had all the necessary amenities. Service was fantastic - regular and thorough room service. Plenty of lifts to get up and down. Food was a real bonus - suhoor was sensational. Tons of options and variety every single night with top notch service. Location is also great. Takes about 4 mins to walk to the haram (near the extension, I used to go to gate 66 which was very close). Just walk straight through Hilton convention hotel for the quickest route. But they even have a free shuttle service to get you to the haram which literally runs all day and night at every 5 minutes. Literally, every 5 minutes.

A truly luxurious hotel offering an exceptional experience from start to finish. The location is perfect—very close to the Haram—and the golf cart service to and from the Haram made everything even more convenient. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed with a modern touch. The staff were outstanding in every area—professional, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Special thanks to Omar Farouk, Mohanad in the restaurant and the kind lady at reception for their wonderful hospitality. You all made our stay memorable. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this place. The service was excellent, and everything was well organized. A special thank you to Naema for her kindness and continuous support — she was truly helpful and made our stay even more comfortable. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the golf cart service is available 24 hours, which was very convenient. They also serve delicious Saudi coffee at the reception, which was a lovely touch. I would definitely come back again

A special thank you to Abdul Hameed, the chamber maid/housekeeper he was extremely professional, friendly, and attentive throughout my stay. May God bless him. He helped me with advice, room queries, and anything I needed, always with a smile. His service really stood out. The hotel location is perfect and very convenient, especially for getting around easily. That said, don’t expect a perfect Haram view it’s good to manage expectations there. The buffet staff were kind and helpful, and service was smooth. A couple of things worth noting for future guests: • Zain mobile network does not work well inside this hotel, so it’s not worth purchasing if you’re staying here. • If you’re hoping for early check-in, be aware that there is an extra fee. Overall, a comfortable stay with genuinely kind staff, especially Abdul Hameed.

Loved our stay at Double Tree. The suite was fantastic. Amenities provided were great. The breakfast was amazing. Sumptuous and a large variety. The service was excellent. Especially thanks to Mr. Mahmoud Elsayed for taking special care of me and my parents. Will stay again at DoubleTree on our next trip.

This is my second stay at the DoubleTree Makkah hotel….. First one was in October 2024 and it was a positive experience, my second stay was in August 2025, and it wasn’t the same as my first one DoubleTree is a new and comfortable hotel. The team is cooperative, kind, and welcoming, which is something that truly stands out compared to many other hotels in Makkah. However, there are a few important areas that require improvement: 1. Mattresses: The mattresses are extremely soft, which is quite unusual for a newly opened hotel. It raises the question — how did the mattresses lose their firmness so quickly? Unfortunately, this caused back pain during our stay. 2. Housekeeping & Cleanliness: We stayed for 6 nights, and during that time, the bed sheets and duvet covers were never changed. Housekeeping standards need to be raised significantly. Even basic cleaning such as vacuuming the floor was not done during our stay. 3. Breakfast: The breakfast is boring and repetitive, with almost no variation day to day. There’s no interesting food presentation or appealing options. The quality is quite basic, and no premium items are offered at all. It got to the point where my children decided not to eat breakfast, and my husband and I would skip it if we were tired, as it simply wasn’t worth waking up for. Despite these points, the hotel remains comfortable, and the price is reasonable compared to other hotels in Makkah. I highly recommend booking through a Saudi travel agency, as their prices are significantly better than what is available on hotel booking websites. 4. Panda Supermarket: A major convenience is that there is a Panda supermarket accessible directly from the hotel lobby. This was extremely useful, as we didn’t need to go out to other supermarkets near the Haram. You can easily do your shopping right from the hotel, which adds great value to the stay. 5. Hotel Towers: The hotel consists of two towers — Makkah Tower and Madinah Tower. Based on our experience, I would highly recommend choosing the Madinah Tower over the Makkah Tower. It was more for better view ⸻ Tips for Accessing the Haram: It is advisable to head to the Haram 45–60 minutes before prayer time. The hotel offers a shuttle bus that runs for about 3 minutes and drops you near the elevator of Souq Al-Khalil in the Jabal Omar area. From there, it’s a short walk to the Haram via Ibrahim Al-Khalil Street. Another and in my opinion better route is to enter the Hilton Convention Hotel, which is opposite DoubleTree. From the Hilton lobby, there is a direct elevator access to the Haram. This option is more convenient than the hotel’s bus service, especially since the mall elevators are often small and crowded

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, especially during breakfast time. The variety and quality of the breakfast were outstanding — everything was fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. From local specialties to international options, there was something for everyone. What truly made the experience even better was the staff specifically Ahmed Raza . They were extremely polite, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their warm and professional attitude made us feel welcomed and well taken care of every morning Highly recommended for anyone looking for great service and a satisfying start to the day!

cleanest hotel I've ever been to! Overall, the professionalism of the staff at this hotel is exceptional—from the front desk and the breakfast buffet to the outstanding housekeeping service provided by Mr. Ahmed. The beds, pillows, and bathroom were all excellent—thanks to Ahmed, who made sure we truly enjoyed our room. You literally walk to the grand mosque in like 4 minutes if not less ....All I can say is that I am truly looking forward to coming back to this marvelous hotel.

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.

We’re starting in room 1830 and the amenities and the service are super nice! The breakfast is nice with many options and the staff is super welcoming. The whole is welcoming and provides service with a smile. 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.

The rooms were a bit tired but very comfortable. The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. 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.
Great place, very clean, the service was amazing. The Breakfast contain variety of food but the pastry was the best.. It has bus services for the trip from Alharam. But...
Great place, very clean, the service was amazing. The Breakfast contain variety of food but the pastry was the best.. It has bus services for the trip from Alharam. But we like going by foot .. not far from Alharam just 5 minutes away.. I really recommend it and definitely will book again.

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.

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.

It was a great stay for 4 days and the rooms which we got was amazing and too huge. Housekeeping was done without any call. Breakfast buffet was so yummy. 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. Never ever miss to have the delicious cookies which are so 😋

Spacious rooms, we got a free room upgrade which was a nice gesture. The reception and restaurant manager - Mr. Taher was very courteous and took extra care so that we were served well. 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 hotel n great team
Great location with great decoration. Rooms are specious and well decorated. Very helpful staff. Wide arrangement of breakfast with lots of options. Hilton is the Best.

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. Thanks.

Loved the stay at the hotel. Excellent staff and room was extremely good. We booked deluxe king which was very spacious. Breakfast was too good with lots of variety. Shuttle service was very good. 3-4, minutes bus ride to Haram mosque. Couple of minutes walk from that stop to King Fahad gate. Would be looking forward to stay there again definitely. P.s: forgot to mentuon that you get cookie treats on your welcome to hotel ðŸ‘â¤ï¸

One of the most concerning problems was the poor sound insulation. Constant noise from the hallway and neighboring rooms was clearly audible throughout the night, including doors slamming, conversations, and general movement. This made proper rest impossible and reflects inadequate room design and acoustic standards. In addition, several essential room features were either malfunctioning or not functioning reliably. Certain fixtures showed signs of neglect and insufficient maintenance, and the overall condition of the room did not reflect a properly maintained environment. Basic expectations such as consistent cleanliness and proper technical functionality were not met. Another major issue was the lack of efficiency and responsiveness from the hotel staff. Requests were handled slowly, and there was no clear sense of responsibility or urgency. The level of attentiveness and professionalism was not consistent with what should be expected from an international hotel of this level. The general condition of the facilities also appeared outdated and insufficiently maintained. The overall environment did not convey the quality, care, or attention to detail associated with a five-star hotel standard. Additionally, the breakfast and dining experience did not meet expectations. The selection was limited, and the overall quality did not reflect the level typically associated with hotels of this classification. Overall, the experience did not align with the advertised standard of the property. Based on the quality of the facilities, the lack of proper maintenance, and the inadequate service level, this hotel cannot be recommended.

This message concerns a deeply disappointing and unacceptable experience at the Crowne Plaza Medina. From the moment of arrival, it became clear that the hotel was not operating at a professional standard. Despite holding a confirmed reservation, we were left standing at the reception area for approximately four hours while staff were unable to provide a proper check-in. There was no clear communication, no efficient handling of the situation, and no sense of urgency. Such a failure in basic guest management is entirely inconsistent with a hotel of this category. The situation worsened upon entering the room. The overall condition reflected poor maintenance and insufficient cleaning. Several elements within the room were visibly damaged or degraded. Furniture showed extensive wear and structural issues. Wooden components appeared compromised, with visible deterioration consistent with prolonged neglect. The floor was not properly cleaned. The bedding, including sheets and covers, did not appear hygienic and raised serious concerns regarding housekeeping standards. The bed itself was uncomfortable and did not provide an acceptable level of rest. Equally concerning was the lack of professionalism from the staff. Requests for assistance were not handled appropriately, and there was no meaningful attempt to improve the situation or acknowledge the severity of the problems. The overall impression was a lack of accountability and inadequate operational control. The dining experience was also below standard. The food quality did not meet reasonable expectations for an international hotel operating under a five-star label. The discrepancy between the advertised classification and the actual condition of the hotel is significant. The level of quality, cleanliness, and service encountered during this stay was unacceptable. Based on this experience, this property cannot be recommended.

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with very professional service from the staff. I would especially like to thank Jihan, the Public Relations Manager, for her genuine care throughout our stay. The location is excellent, with easy access to Al Haram as well as nearby food and shopping options. As a small suggestion, a bit more attention to cleanliness would further enhance the experience. The property does show its age, and the room—particularly the bathroom—felt quite small for a 4 star hotel. Overall, we appreciated the hospitality and the convenience the hotel offers.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. Everything was clean, comfortable, and very well organized. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. I want to give a very special thank you to Amnah for making my stay so much better. I came all the way from New York, and I was very tired when I arrived, but she was incredibly welcoming from the first moment. She helped me a lot and made sure I felt comfortable right away. Amnah is kind, friendly, and truly generous with her help. She went above and beyond to make things easy for me, and her warm attitude made a big difference in my experience. She is a wonderful person and a great example of true hospitality. Because of her, my stay felt more relaxing and pleasant. I really appreciate everything she did. The hotel is very generous with its service, and the level of hospitality was excellent. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and stress-free stay. I would happily come back again!

Our stay at the Crowne Plaza Medina was made truly memorable thanks to the outstanding level of service and professionalism demonstrated by the staff, particularly the concierge team. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with warmth, respect, and genuine care. I would like to specifically recognize Mr. Mahmoud Saad, who went far above and beyond his duties to ensure that all of our needs were not only met, but exceeded. His attentiveness, patience, and willingness to help at every step made a significant difference in our stay. Whether it was assisting with logistics, answering questions, or proactively ensuring our comfort, his approach was consistently professional, courteous, and sincere. Experiences like this are what guests remember long after the stay ends. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was busy but welcoming. It was well-managed, and the staff consistently demonstrated a high standard of service. The location is excellent, and the rooms are very comfortable. Breakfast was a highlight with lots of options and high quality! Because of the exceptional service we received especially from the concierge Mahmoud Saad, we would gladly return and confidently recommend this hotel to others visiting Madinah. Thank you to the Crowne Plaza Madinah team for a genuinely positive and meaningful stay.

Rooms are extremely small and cramped. The furniture is outdated and worn out. The beds are incredibly uncomfortable—you wake up more exhausted than you were when you went to sleep. The only good thing about this place is its convenient location near the central area. In all fairness, the staff is wonderful and the location is great . That's definitely a 'never again' situation

I had a wonderful experience at the Crowne Plaza. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The dining options were excellent, with a variety of delicious meals and a great atmosphere. I’d also like to give special recognition to Mohammed Ashraf Uddin. His professionalism, warm attitude, and genuine hospitality truly made a difference during my stay. He was incredibly helpful, always smiling, and ready to assist with anything I needed. Staff like him are what make a great hotel experience truly memorable. Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be returning!

He made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast was absolutely amazing – a wide variety of options to choose from, and the karak chai was a real highlight! It was the perfect start to our mornings. The hotel itself is in an ideal location, beautifully maintained, and very peaceful. The housekeeping staff were also incredibly kind and attentive, always ensuring our rooms were spotless and welcoming. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Madinah – truly a five-star experience in every way!

I stayed at the Crowne Plaza Madinah thinking it would be closer to the Haram based on the photos, but in reality, it’s located in the third block—not as near as it looks online. The breakfast was nothing special, quite average, but the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, which I appreciated. The main issue was the room. Everything felt outdated—from the mattresses to the bed size, the old-school wired telephones, and especially the bathroom. The bathroom was the worst part for me. The showerhead was full of limescale, and the rest of the bathroom showed clear signs of water damage and leakage. The worst moment was during wudhu when the sink literally broke. Judging by the condition, it had clearly been damaged before. What really annoyed me was the maintenance guy accusing me of breaking it. They didn’t move me to another room or offer any solution—they just patched it up with some filler and never mentioned it again. On a positive note, the laundry service for my thobe was excellent—great quality and very fairly priced. Overall, the hotel has potential, but it seriously needs renovation and better communication with guests when issues arise.

Breakfast was good, the rest urgently needs an upgrade. Shuttle service should be more efficient and constant. Front desk service poor. Rooms need re vamp and spring cleaning. House keeping service very inconsistent. We had to plead and eventually get angry before they would come to clean up. The room cleaning took a maximum of 5 minutes. Terrible standard. Especially with ihg promise of cleanliness.

I did write a review previously which I have deleted now. First of all i was not expecting that the Front manager will read the previous review and will call me to sort thing out for me. Mr Ahmed Asehri ( appologies if spelling is wrong) called me straight away and litreally within an hour or two after the call he sorted out the rooms. Gave me better rooms which are really good and value for money and room service is very good as well. Rooms are very good Alhumdolillah. It really feels very comfortable. Location is like 3 mins walk Room service is soo much better. I would really like to thank you to Mr Ahmed for sorting this out.

The hotel entrance is beautiful, and parking is available for an additional fee. My compliment is about the elevators. There are six elevators in total. Despite the fact that the hotel was fully booked during our Ramadan visit, we only had to wait a few seconds for the elevator. However, the room was extremely small, the window had a small gap that allowed noise to enter, the bathroom design was a disaster, and the sink lacked a pop-up stopper. The bathroom had a nice magnifying makeup mirror with lights, but I couldn't use it because it was broken and the liquid soap holder was in the way, so I couldn't move the mirror. The bathroom layout is not suitable for a couple. The toilet is behind the door, and if someone is on the toilet and the door opens, the person's face will be hit. My final complain is about the room card. I stayed for four nights and had to reactivate the card every day. The location is great for men, but the women praying area is very far from the hotel.

There is no way I could give it a 5* rating. the rooms are small, the ac doesn’t work properly and many more issues. The location is one of the best but other services I had to compromise. overall not up to the mark.

I do not recommend this hotel at all, it has nothing of the criteria of a 5 star hotel, more of a very mediocre 3 star hotel. The room was extremely small, it smelt musty barely even enough space to pray in, no day light the window was facing a wall. The carpet was damaged and dirty. The bathroom was even smaller, and there was no strainer on the drain, broken shower head not to mention the horrible smell of humidity. The AC made unbearable loud sounds and you couldn’t change the temperature so the room was very cold. Most of the staff was very rude and unprofessional and they wouldn’t clean your room even after asking multiple times. After many complains they “upgraded†us. The room was basically the same with the exact same problems. The reception said they couldn’t do anything about it and it’s the best they had. The food was mediocre and I noticed that the fruits weren’t even washed properly. And it’s pretty faraway from women’s masjid. This is as total scam for the expensive price we payed.

We booked three rooms and none of these was ready when we arrived. When we did get rooms one had bad smoke stink. That room was changed and changed once again because bathroom was too small. All rooms were not close to the standard you expect for 5 stars establishment. Room service took ages. Room amenities were extremely poor. Beds were uncomfortable. TVs are old style and do not have the facility to mirror. Cleaning staff was good but that did not improve the overall experience specially when you have stayed in ihg properties elsewhere. Building is tired and worn. It is not very close to haram. Breakfast is not bad.

A very good experience. It was more than amazing trip and the hotel is highly recommended. Rooms , staff, restaurants and hospitality are extremely excellent. Cost to benefit is very reasonable. I will be back in December and will be pleased to repeat this experience. Greetings to all staff and special thanks to GM Mr.Mohammed Ramadan.

The rooms are small, like very small. We had 2 adults and a baby and we changed rooms 3 times because something was wrong with the rooms. Either fridge was not working or had a funky odor to it or the air conditioning was not working. The bellmen were super nice though and so were the front desk staff. Breakfast is standard, nothing fancy.

Excellent staff and customer service. It is like home away from home . Very polite and helpful staff no matter if reception, restaurant or room service . Breakfast and lunch 100% healthy and fresh . Staff at reception desk is amazing , bilingual therefore no issue communicating in English. Would definitely recommend anyone who wants to visit Madina must stay at Crown Plaza Hotel .

Beautiful hotel, clean and great service. Rooms are a bit small. The location with regards to the distance from Masjid Nabawi is excellent for men but very far for ladies. The view from our room was excellent as we could see the green dome.
Nice place good rooms particularly the executive ones. But rooms have no enough lighting very dark. You cannot enjoy your time.
A great place to stay, Very clean and nice place. Every thing was highly managed. Professional and friendly staff.. Love it..
Excellent stay. Good location. The rooms are well maintained. The front desk staffs are very friendly. Wide Verity of breakfast. Interested to stay again.

Avoid this hotel at all costs! We were at this hotel during the first few nights of Ramadan 2022. We asked for the room to be cleaned on on the second day but that never happened. We ran out of toilet paper and when we asked for more it was never forthcoming. The people at their reception also gave another guest a key to our room so we were awoken one night by a stranger entering our room. My wife never felt safe in the hotel after that. When I complained about this and a lack of room service they just gave us complementary tea and fruit, like that made up for it! On the last day I asked the reception to provide me the email address for the manager so that I could email him about our horrendous experience at the hotel. The receptionist refused to give me his email address and handed me a random business card, telling me to write my message on the back of the card! This is was the worst experience I've had at a hotel anywhere in the world. The interior of the hotel is dated and the staff have an overly relaxed attitude to customer service. This is meant to be a 5* hotel!
Amazing team... excellent service.. extremely professional. I was very impressed with everyone starting from the smooth check in all the way through room service. Staff at the restaurant are very helpful...

I truly have no words to describe how thankful and emotionally grateful I am. This journey exceeded all my expectations in every way. I began not knowing anyone and returned home with a beautiful family my “Ibadah family.” Alhamdulillah. The organisation, guidance, and spiritual atmosphere made this experience truly special and deeply uplifting. Every detail was handled with care, and the sense of unity throughout the journey was something I will always cherish. May Allah reward everyone involved for their dedication, patience, and kindness. To anyone considering travelling, I wholeheartedly encourage you to join the next suitable group for you. You won’t just be going on a trip you’ll be gaining an experience, meaningful companionship, and memories that remain with you long after you return home. Please keep us in your duas. May Allah keep us steadfast on this journey and reunite us again in goodness, Ameen.

I’m so happy that I booked my 1st ever trip to Al Aqsa with Ibadar Tours. Alhamdu’lillah the staff were brilliant with booking everything and their communication within the group was excellent. I also appreciated the webinar which was definitely beneficial. The actual visit there was amazing and they were on time with everything which was on the itinerary. I absolutely recommend Ibadar tours if you want to go Al Aqsa and in’Shaa’Allah in the future I will also use them for Umrah packages too. Jazakallahu khair to Ali, Khalil who was our group leader and also ustadha Ameena for the inspirational lectures. Also to Sheihk Saley on the ground and his family for the tour and hospitality

I have had the good fortune of visiting Al Aqsa a few times over the last few years. Each time has felt like a blessing. Every visit has brought me closer to this amazing, wonderful place. This visit with Ibadah Tours was one of the best experiences I’ve had with a tour group. Extremely well organised and friendly group leader in Ali. Every excursion was clearly organised and explained to everyone. Safety and security were of the utmost importance which helped me and my family to relax knowing that we were in good hands. The Hashimi Hotel is so well placed for frequent walks to Al Aqsa and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Very knowledgeable and relatable tour guide in Sheikh Saleh, one of the best story tellers I’ve met, who made the history of the Holy Land so accessible. Absolutely recommend Ibadah Tours without reservation.

Alhamdulillah, my journey to the blessed lands of Palestine with Ibaadah Tours has been nothing short of exceptional.I can confidently say that this trip was by far the best experience I’ve had, and I wholeheartedly recommend Ibadah Tours to anyone looking to visit Al-Aqsa. A special mention to Brother Ali and Sheikh Saleh, who went above and beyond to ensure our group had a smooth, enriching, and spiritually uplifting experience. Their dedication, warmth, and extensive knowledge made this trip truly memorable. From seamless logistics to in-depth historical and Islamic insights, every aspect of the journey was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. One of the key highlights was the sense of safety and security throughout the trip. Despite any concerns one might have about traveling to Palestine, Ibadah Tours ensured that we felt completely at ease, allowing us to focus on the spiritual and historical significance of our visit. The access to authentic Islamic knowledge and historical sites added an entirely new dimension to the trip. Learning about the deep-rooted history of Al-Aqsa and its surroundings from the group as well as the Palestinians themselves made the trip truly exceptional and life-changing. To be able to be a part of the group and partake in the tour was something that Allah SWT has blessed us with through the team at Ibadah tours. I’m already looking forward to booking my next trip to Al-Aqsa with Ibadah Tours, InshaAllah! If you’re considering visiting this blessed land, I cannot recommend them enough. May Allah bless and reward the entire team for their outstanding efforts!

Alhamdullilah we had the best experience for our first trip with Ibadah Tours to Al Aqsa. Everything about our trip was smooth. We enjoyed being guided by Sheikh Saleh who has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the holy land. We stayed in Hashimi Hotel which has one of the best views of Al Aqsa and the food was spectacular. The staff are wonderful and make the stay even better. We would like to say thank you to brother Ali for all his guidance and for making this a memorable trip. For anyone hesitating to book please don’t be. From the moment you book to the moment you land back home, Ibadah tours/brother Ali is with you all the way. We InshaAllah hope to go again with Ibadah Tours.

This was my first Umrah in over 25 years, and I went with my wife and three teenagers. Ibadah Tours made the whole experience smooth and memorable from start to finish. Communication was excellent; we received a full itinerary in advance covering flight details, daily schedules, ziyaarat, hotel details, salah times, and practical tips, which made things so much easier to plan as a family. The pre-Umrah seminar was also really helpful in preparing us spiritually and practically before we travelled. The package itself was well thought out; it was planned so we could experience Jumu’ah in both Harams, and the hotel locations were ideal, literally less than five minutes from the Haram. The affordability and option to pay in instalments was also a big plus. The ziyaraat were a highlight for me. Shaykh Yusuf Zahaby the shaykh leading us was incredibly knowledgeable and inspiring, the way he connected the landmarks with our Islamic history made it very moving and gave real depth to the trip. He also took time to answer people’s questions, which everyone appreciated. The last day included a trip to a date farm, with a final reminder from the shaykh and brothers and sisters sharing their experiences. A special mention to Brother Aidrous, our tour leader, who looked after the group throughout. He kept the atmosphere fun and uplifting, while also being there to sort out any issues quickly. He also organised a horse riding, archery and Go-Karting experience in Madinah, which the whole group loved. He brought the group together and helped build a brotherhood. Overall, I’m really glad I chose Ibadah Tours. They combined organisation with warmth, and helped make this Umrah a very special experience for me and my family. Definitely recommend them for those looking for a group to do Umrah with. Alhamdulillah wa TabarakAllah.

Our journey to Hajj began in the most spiritually enriching and powerful way imaginable with a visit to the blessed land of Al Aqsa and the Old City of Jerusalem, guided by the remarkable team at Ibadah Tours. From the moment we arrived, the experience was nothing short of incredible. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, seamlessly organised, and deeply rooted in Islamic history and spirituality. But what truly made this leg of our journey unforgettable was Brother Ali a man whose depth of knowledge, warmth, and sincerity left a lasting impression on every heart in our group. Brother Ali didn't just guide us; he taught us. Every step through the ancient alleyways of Jerusalem, every stone of Al Aqsa, every story he shared brought our Islamic history to life in ways that no book or video ever could. His love for the Ummah, his connection to the sacred sites, and his ability to tie everything back to our purpose for visiting seeking closeness to Allah was genuinely inspiring. Walking through the Old City, praying in Al Aqsa, and learning about the prophets who once walked these very streets set the perfect spiritual tone for what was to come. It wasn’t just a tour it was a sacred journey that awakened our hearts and reminded us of the incredible legacy we are part of as Muslims. This visit laid the spiritual foundation for our Hajj like nothing else could. It gave us perspective, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose. Ibadah Tours didn't just deliver an itinerary they gave us a transformative experience that will stay with us for a lifetime. If you're considering a visit to Al Aqsa start with Ibadah Tours. You will not only see the holy sites you will feel them, understand them, and carry them in your heart forever. May Allah bless the team at Ibadah Tours and especially Brother Ali for his dedication, passion, and service to the Ummah.

Beautiful trip with no fear except Almighty ALLAH’S. Such a wonderful experience after MAKKAH and Madina, nothing like that. This is the trip I want to do again and again and IBADAH TOURS made it possible with ease with brother Ali and Sheikh Saleh’s exceptional guidance May ALLAH reward them accordingly for their superb efforts AAMMEENN. I urge every Muslim must go and visit Al-Aqsa and support our Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine.

After years of being messed around by other tour agents, we booked Al-Aqsa with Ibadah tours and not only did they deliver, but exceeded our expectations beyond imagine! Brother Ali is so knowledgeable, kind, caring, and funny. He made the whole tour group feel comfortable and like a family travelling together. He was patient, calm and went above and beyond to ensure we all were safe and got the best out of our trip. This trip brought our family closer to each other, closer to our religion, as well as connect us with our brothers and sister in Islam from the UK and in Jerusalem. We learned so much about Islam and its history. Eternally grateful and wish Ibadah tours nothing but the best. Cannot wait to book our next tour with them to other destinations as well as Al-Aqsa again. Thank you so much! *Photos attached to this review were taken by myself on my iphone, imagine what it looked and felt like in person!
