What stood out at Emaar was how close it is to the Haram, which made daily visits simple. The hotel felt fairly busy but organized, and staff handled requests reasonably well. It would suit pilgrims or travelers who mainly want a convenient place to stay. Read less

hotel has an excellent location and is very close to the Haram, which made our stay convenient. Some staff members were also kind and helpful. However, the cleanliness needs improvement. There were flies in the room and throughout the hotel, and the room smelled like smoke even though it was not labeled as a smoking room. The rooms and bathrooms are also outdated, and the bathroom was very small. There was noise during the night, and staff knocked on our door multiple times. Although we were approved for a 2-hour late checkout, this was not communicated among staff. Someone also entered our room while we were asleep, which felt like an invasion of privacy. Overall, while the location is great, guests can likely find other hotels in the same area at a similar price with better quality. I hope management improves cleanliness, communication, and guest privacy. Read less

It was really good. Nice. Clean. Good breakfast. Most importantly: the location was just down the road from the Haram, about 500 metres away. For the price we paid I'd say it was excellent. I'd stay here again. Of course if you're there to relish in the luxury of Dunyā and are willing to spend stupid money on indulging yourself rather than helping those in need... There are plenty of hotels available in the clock tower. Read less

The only good thing about my experience at this hotel was the cleaner not gonna say his name but lovely friendly helpful guy. The reception staff were diabolical have no respect for guests who pay money to stay at their rubbish hotel. Distance not so great 15 minute walk to haram (casual walk) The bell boys think they’re something they’re not. Overall bad hotel bad experience and an absolute joke. Never again. Don’t use this hotel absolute shambles Read less

When giving reviews you always have to think about what you paid when comparing to others..last year we stayed in the grand emaar opposite this hotel that was slightly bigger rooms and better breakfast but the key cards kept losing the codes if you put it near your phone, the going down to reception waiting for the lifts so annoying . not had that problem with this hotel Google review said 1 star ..come on it's not that bad..3 star at least..our room a/c was not giving the 16c temp we selected, told one of the staff they came spent about a hour cleaning the ac filters and now cool air a bit too cold at night so have to adjust the temp. The breakfast very basic but plenty of seating area no chief to make hot food such as scrambled eggs with your choice of toppings..fruit juice only orange ..but just checking online with Agoda the price is half of the grand emaar..

Worst experience in a hotel ever. Had to deal with the worst receptionist who refused to directly engage with me and was extremely ruse and even when the general manager of the hotel intervened she refused to process my hotel reservation. Then she went and another guy cane who processed our hotel booking and that happened after i pushed hard with the agency guy who had booked me. After this the room was neither clean nor comfortable as such. For two days there was no cleaning and no cleaning and I asked a cleaning boy and he refused to clean the room saying my shift is over. And then next day he didn’t clean either. Very rude staff overall and not a pleasant stay at all. Also if you have an elderly person with you don’t stay here as its a fair distance from haram for pushing a wheel chair and in the day heat you will be exhausted. So please avoid staying at this hotel at any cost Read less

Decent hotel Good location near haram and the markets the rooms are clean there are a lot of elevators but they're all stacked at prayer times i tried the buffet it's good but I didn't like how the Indonesian workers wait infront of you to take your plates and you can't eat in peace. for a one star hotel I think it's very good Read less

Very disappointing experience. The washroom had cockroaches, and basic amenities such as water, tea, coffee, and a dental kit were not provided. Water was dripping from the ceiling in the washroom, which was extremely unhygienic. The hotel is located quite far from Haram—at least a 15 to 20-minute walk. The staff at the reception were not helpful at all. We could hear a loud, disturbing noise from the window, like a machine running, even at midnight. The hotel entrance looks appealing, but it’s clearly just a tactic to attract customers. Overall, the hotel is poorly maintained and not worth the stay. Read less

Hotel Reception The reception area resembled a grand palace, with stunning chandeliers, marble décor, and comfortable seating areas. They even provided massage chairs, which was a nice touch. However, using them lacked privacy, as they were placed in a spot where everyone entering could see you. Staff were friendly and professional. Hotel Rooms The room itself was spacious and clean. However, the fridge was awkwardly placed in the hallway near the entrance, which was inconvenient, it would have been better positioned inside the main room. The biggest disappointment was the bathroom. It was extremely small, likely due to poor room layout. The space used for the wardrobe could have been better utilized to expand the bathroom. The shower cubicle was cramped, and water would leak onto the bathroom floor. Although we booked a non-smoking room, there was a persistent smell of cigarettes, particularly in the bathroom. Additionally, we noticed flies in the room, which was unpleasant. Getting quality sleep was also a challenge. The corridors were not carpeted, so noise from people walking and talking echoed throughout the night. The constant slamming of doors was particularly disturbing. Soft-closing doors would have made a significant difference. Very good location. Read less

good location could walk to the haram/ clock tower in about 10 minutes, really helpful in the hot sun. the rooms were definately on the older side, same with the bathroom. The breakfast was perfectly fine, nothing fancy just fine. totally acceptable if you have north american standards and want a budget stay in makkah. Read less

0-star hotel! Do NOT book!! The rooms are dirty, our bed had bed bugs and silver fish in there- blood stains on the base of the bed! Staff were rude and unhelpful! There were so many complaints- a lady had no hot water for 3 days! This please should not be allowed to operate, I have had to raise this with Hajj Ministry to protect other Pilgrims!! Breakfast is rubbish! Avoid at all costs!!! Read less

Trust me I couldn’t give it more than 2. The rooms are nice and spacious no doubt about that but the washrooms are really small and creepy the shower cabin is unbearable trust me plus the one things that made me furious was the internet or wifi because internet is the worst here and when I say worst I mean THE WORST its slow and its so bad I even complained about it a few times but it was of no avail so I’d recommend you going for Emaar Grand which is opposite to it but if you haven’t got an option than you’re on your own to make a decision.

Terrible to say the least..I could write pages To keep it short..RECEPTION staff are unhelpful, unprofessional (saw one of them tutting at an old man at reception), it seems like they are totally unbothered absolutely the worst service I’ve ever experienced. Hotel rooms are dirty (we stayed in two different ones), shower water was cold, on the first night there were issues with the toilet. The bell boys were excellent, very helpful only good thing about our stay, thank you so much Read less

Booked the hotel with a good impression with nice lobby view with the most TERRIBLE service I have ever felt. The receptionist are the worst, they are negligent, unproffessional, and have a selfish personality. They treat customers as trash that only bothers their free time, I asked for new towels on the next day (since I have not got any from room service) and they did not even confirmed it to me again and just said "yalla!" With a "go away" gesture, and of course the towel never came. And that's not all of it, even the content room looks old and weary, especially the bathroom, drippy faucet pipes (causing repetitive wetness in the bathroom floors), small space to bath, bad drainage system, and so on. It only looks nice in the lobby. There are also 8 lift but every one of them go down/up for like 7-10 minutes of waiting and some of the lift doors are broken. The phone room also does not work properly. The only good thing is that the room service (which have to be approached in person, not by asking the reception) is nice and at least have some decency towards customers even though there are problems such as language barriers. The bell boys do help sometimes when it comes to bringing the bags (well they are supposed to do that anyways), even though at many times they also neglect their other jobs such as helping opening the lobby door when customers are walking in with bags, etc. Conclusion : Not recommended for family travels, or any travels with more than 2 people. TERRIBLE service especially by THE RECEPTIONISTS. (0 star if there such a thing) Do not know about the food. Bathroom is a 2 star for me (being generous). Room is quite spacious but looks weary and old. Distance between Masjidil Haram is at medium range (not recommended for staying at ramadhan or hajj due to the blockage of roads at praying times) No reception (signal) in rooms, the wifi is also bad. Many lift but not spacious and long waiting time. Read less

The worst hotel I have ever been to. Don’t waste your hard earned cash in this awful hotel. In such a blessed place yet the worst staff I have ever come across. Rude and useless. Do they even have cleaners? They never come to the rooms nor do they ever clean the hotel. There’s a main focus on the lobby. That was rearranged and cleaned almost everyday during my stay. The toilets are absolutely vile. Constant smell that would make anyone feel sick. The toilet and the shower are awful. The tap was broken the drains were full of hair. Would not recommend. Read less

I don’t know where to start, but this is the worst hotel ever. The cleanliness is none existent, the toilet and walk in shower is absolutely filthy, it’s a disgrace. The drain in the toilet smells, just the worst. It’s like it’s been here since the early 80s. The room itself is digesting, the beds are broken, the mattresses are ridiculous, rather sleep on the floor. The cleaners never ever come to clean. I’ve sent 5 days here now and not once has a cleaner come in to clean. IF SOMEONE OFFERS YOU THIS HOTEL FOR FREE, DO NOT TAKE IT. Don’t pay your hard earned money for this pathetic place. Read less

Please avoid at all costs, this hotel beyond the lobby is disgusting. Not clean, basic amenities do not work and staff customer service is atrocious. The staff do not care and staying here a week made me very ill. Bad smells from the toilets, gutters, no cleaning! Bathrooms are a state, cracked tiles, showers/boilers leaking, windows do not operate. Even the tour operator didn’t care, so why should the hotel? Doesn’t even deserve 1 star. This hotel needs demolishing! Read less

Very bad experience. The rooms are dirty, there's no room service, and the reception staff doesn't listen to anything. Not suitable for a family stay. But if you're alone or all-men group, it is a reasonable option on a limited budget. It's almost a 20 min walk to King Fahad gate from the hotel, so make sure you leave early Read less

The room is good and very conveniently located close to the masjid. I stayed during Ramadan, and it was excellent being able to walk there in just a few minutes. Bazaars and other essentials are also very close by. The only issue I experienced was with the hot water. The pressure was quite low, and the hot water would run out, which made it difficult to take longer showers. This may be a personal preference, but it was noticeable. Other than that, the stay was good. The rooms are clean, and the basics are provided. There is a kettle and a fridge available, but no additional amenities, so you should bring your own essentials. Overall, a good and convenient place to stay. Read less

Room was so congested that there is no space to pray of move around. Also staffs denied to provide service regular but once in three days. The cleaning was done by vacuuming the carpet and water cleaning the washroom. Outside food delivery was not allowed. Not a good service at all. I wouldn't recommend any pilgrim or others to stay here. Read less

I stayed at this hotel in Madina right next to Masjid an-Nabawi’s. Although the room was a bit small, it was very comfortable and well-maintained. The best part was the window — offering a full, breathtaking view of the mosque. Considering the location and the budget, this hotel was an excellent choice and truly enhanced our stay in Madina. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great proximity to the mosque without breaking the bank Read less

Trash. Trying their best to cramp as much beds as possible in a two beds space. Furniture broken. Over just feels dirty. Service whack. If you’re alone you can manage but with family def stay away. Gave us old bedsheets with hair follicle left over from the previous guests. When asked for change, they insisted those were new. Over all a damn hassle. Only decent thing it’s near the mosque Read less

Terrible Experience – Avoid at All Costs ⭐☆☆☆☆ My stay at Hotel Karam Taiyaba Al Masi in Medina was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. First and foremost, the cleanliness was appalling. The rooms were dirty, with stained bedding and unclean bathrooms. It was clear that housekeeping standards were either non-existent or completely neglected. The staff behavior was equally unacceptable. The team was unprofessional and unhelpful, making the stay even more frustrating. The receptionist, Aktarujjaman, stood out for his rude and dismissive attitude. Instead of resolving issues, he was argumentative and showed no respect for guests. The overall environment felt chaotic, with no sense of organization or care for customer satisfaction. This is not what one expects when visiting a holy city like Medina, where hospitality should reflect the city’s significance. I strongly advise avoiding this hotel. There are far better options available in Medina that value cleanliness, professionalism, and guest comfort. Read less

I was very unhappy with my stay at Karam Taiba Almasi. The room was very small and meant for two beds, but they added more beds, making it cramped and uncomfortable. There was only a bed and no basic things like a mobile charging socket. The furniture was broken, and the bathroom fittings were in bad shape. The room was not cleaned every day, which was disappointing. The service was very poor, and the staff didn’t seem to care about helping guests. They took the money but didn’t give good service or hospitality. There are many other hotels in the same area with better facilities for the same price. I don’t recommend staying here. Read less

Wallahi these people are doing Zulum on the people striving to get close to Allah. Room was full with fleece , we stayed 4 nights and not once we had r service, I agree it’s a budget hotel but isn’t cleanliness a big part of our religion ? my airwave was blocked up, I had constant cough , my old mother was bed bound, we stayed at room 313, please my dear brothers and sisters, spend a little more so at least you can do your Ibadat properly, soon as I checked out from that dump alhamdullillah I can breath better but something is totally wrong in that hotel. Inshallah never again. Read less

Location wise one of the best and walkable distance to Masjid un Nabavi. Have rooms which face the Masjid though unfortunately I did not get that when I stayed. The backside rooms in one of which I stayed had no views. Good quality rooms. Have three lifts. The surrounding areas have food outlets, souvenir shops, dates and sweets shops. Did enjoy the stay due to its proximity to the mosque. Read less
