I would like to sincerely commend Abdur Rahman, who provided room service during my stay at Voco Hotel Makkah. I was staying in room 81107, and throughout my entire stay, his service stood out as truly exceptional. Abdur Rahman was incredibly responsive and attentive at all times. No matter the request, big or small, he handled everything with genuine care, efficiency, and a positive attitude. He always made sure our needs were fully understood and promptly taken care of, often going above and beyond what was expected. His willingness to help, calm demeanor, and consistent professionalism made a noticeable difference in our overall experience. What impressed me most was his readiness to assist at any moment and his ability to anticipate our needs even before we had to ask. He carried himself with kindness, respect, and a strong sense of hospitality, which truly reflects the high standards of Voco Hotel Makkah. It’s rare to encounter someone so dedicated and sincere in their role, and Abdur Rahman is a perfect example of excellent customer service. Because of him, our stay was not only comfortable but also memorable. He is undoubtedly a valuable asset to the hotel, and I hope his efforts are recognized and appreciated. Thank you, Abdur Rahman and tean, for making our stay in room 81107 and 81108 such a pleasant and stress-free experience. Read less

I had a very pleasant stay at voco Makkah, and overall everything was excellent. The hotel is located on the main road, Ibrahim Al Khalil, which makes access very convenient. The check-in process was smooth and well organized. Mr. Faris at the reception was extremely helpful, polite, and professional, which made a great first impression. The rooms were comfortable, the staff were very supportive, and the cleanliness throughout the hotel was up to the mark. I stayed for 8 days with my family, and we felt well taken care of during the entire stay. I have also stayed at voco Makkah previously, and my experience then was equally good. During my earlier stay, the shuttle service was extremely convenient and available at all times, even during prayer times. The shuttle drop-off was at Clock Tower parking, which made it very easy to reach Haram. On this visit, the shuttle drop-off has been changed to Ajyad parking. From there, the walk to Haram is about 5 to 7 minutes, and the shuttle service stops one hour before prayer time. While the earlier arrangement was more convenient, the current setup is still manageable. Overall, voco Makkah is an excellent hotel with great service, cleanliness, and a prime location. I would highly recommend it for families and would be happy to stay here again in the future. Read less

Honestly, this is the best hotel I’ve stayed at. The bedroom had everything we needed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The lobby and interior are absolutely beautiful, with a café and a mall downstairs, which made everything so convenient. Stepping outside to see the Clock Tower was such a lovely view, and the hotel is only a 10–15 minute walk to Masjid Al Haram with an easy and straightforward route. The breakfast buffet and dinner offered a great variety of options, and the food was genuinely delicious. The service was outstanding everyone was welcoming, helpful, and always happy to answer any questions. Room service was also excellent, with a separate menu and delicious food. This was my parents’ and my first Umrah trip, and it was truly memorable. My parents absolutely loved the hotel, and we will definitely be back, inshallah 🤍✨ Read less

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel.
The housekeeping service was excellent. The room was very comfortable ، large space and clean. The food buffet was excellent for both breakfast and dinner, and the buffet service was very good.
It would be even better if there were more Lebanese food options ☺️ The reception staff were very friendly, and there is a shuttle bus every 20 minutes to Al-Haram Al-Makki.
The hotel truly deserves its 5-star rating.
I will definitely enjoy booking with you again.
Thank you very much. Read less

We have stayed 9 nights (4+5) during our stay in Makkah and we had a very good experience at this hotel from check in to check out. Rooms and washrooms were neat and clean. Service was very good, room cleaning, room service everything was top notch. This hotel gives you facility of 5 star hotel in 2 star hotel prices. Economical with luxury. Shuttle is 24/7 direct from hotel to Haram and if you're comfortable in walking you can also go to Haram by walk especially in night time which is around 1.3 km. Pro tip: go to Haram 1 hour before Salah and comeback hotel after 1 or 1 and half hour later from Salah because right before and after salah shuttle can be too much crowded as we have experienced.

Value for money guaranteed. Booked King Deluxe. Absolutely loved my stay here! 🚐 24/7 shuttle service — never waited a single minute, whether from the hotel or Haram. 🛏 Room was spotless — crystal clear, super clean sheets, and incredibly comfy. Staff on my floor (7th, Tower 04) were respectful, well-trained, and always on time for cleaning. Loved the thoughtful amenities: free water & tea, fridge, safe, Wi-Fi, iron & board, hygiene items, bathrobe, fresh slippers, prayer mat, Quran, hangers, weight scale, plus complimentary water & dates by reception. AC was perfect, hot water always available. Coming back after Umrah felt like coming home. ❤️ Easily 100/100 — my forever go-to hotel in Makkah. Read less

Clean, modern, and comfortable hotel just a short shuttle ride from Masjid Al-Haram. Spacious rooms, great service, and ideal for families or groups. The free shuttle runs regularly, though it can get busy during prayer times. Excellent value for a peaceful and well-managed stay in Makkah. Read less

Update: I have to update my review to reflect what happened after hajj, they decreased the number of buses significantly without considering the number of visitors still staying in the hotel, resulted in long waiting times for buses to come and waiting your turn or keep standing the whole time, this turned the movement to el haram to nightmare specially that haram gate is now shared with people of another hotels and you have to stay in same line with them. Although i was planning to consider the hotel for umrah later, but after this experience i will certainly look for another hotel near to haram as i can't guarantee the buses availability and timing. The hotel is very nice, rooms are excellent. Room service needs to be improved, it is the first time to stay in a hotel where i have to request room service when needed, and i have to specify what they are required to do, and sometimes when i request 3-4 actions, some of them are done and some don't. We stayed for 2 weeks with almost the same food everyday, but they started introducing new staff after 2 weeks. Read less

Food was the biggest let down, other than that this Hotel was pretty Okay. It's a 20 min walk distance from Masjid Al Haram. Rooms are clean! Inside looks nice, I wish their buffet had better tasting food, it might be great tasting for others that do not like any spices/salt. Has a pretty decent market place as well. Me personally, I would have rated it higher, only if the food was better! Read less

I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. The service was unacceptable on every level — the staff were unhelpful, inattentive, and at times even rude. It felt like customer satisfaction was the last thing on their minds. The food was by far the worst part of the experience. Most of the dishes were barely edible — poorly cooked, lacked any flavor, and in some cases This was definitely not the experience I expected, and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable or enjoyable stay.

Our stay at the hotel was exceptional, and a large part of this positive experience was due to the wonderful work of Mr. Mohammad Tareq who took care of the cleanliness of our room. His meticulousness and attention to detail really made a difference. Every day we returned to a spotless, welcoming room, arranged with care and attention to comfort. What's more, his courtesy and warm smile added a personal touch to our stay. Many thanks to him for his exceptional dedication and professionalism. He deserves our highest recognition!

Fantastic location on ladies side of Haram, if you want to be close to shopping and amenities this side has way more shops and malls. If you want less distractions stay on the men's side. Nice staff, good service, room was a disability room and was very large with comfortable beds and good shower. Only downside was windows did not open at all. Restaurant food is good and tasty but extremely busy in Ramadan and difficult to find seating for iftar. For the price, I'd stay again. Read less

​I had an incredible stay at the Emaar Royal Hotel and cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone visiting Madinah. The hospitality was exceptional from start to finish; the staff was genuinely welcoming and went out of their way to ensure a comfortable experience. I was especially grateful when they provided a room upgrade to better accommodate me, which made the stay feel even more special. The location is perfect, being just a short, convenient walk to Masjid an-Nabawi, making daily prayers and visits seamless. Between the excellent service and the prime location, this hotel truly exceeded my expectations. Read less

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My stay at Amaar Royal Hotel, Medina was truly memorable, and the biggest reason for this wonderful experience was the exceptional service provided by Abu Taher Mesbah. From the very beginning, he was extremely kind, respectful, and professional. He guided us perfectly, helped us with every small detail, and was always available with a warm smile. His attitude made us feel welcomed, comfortable, and at home. It is rare to find staff members who genuinely care about guests, and Abu Taher Mesbah is definitely one of them. His dedication, patience, and excellent manners truly reflect the high standards of Amaar Royal Hotel. Because of his outstanding service, our stay became stress-free and very pleasant. I sincerely appreciate his efforts and highly recommend this hotel — especially because of staff members like him. Read less

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent stay at Emaar Royal Hotel Medina I had a wonderful stay at Emaar Royal Hotel Medina. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and very well maintained, with a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Its location is excellent, very close to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, which makes it extremely convenient for prayers and visiting the Prophet’s Mosque. The staff are friendly, respectful, and always ready to help, ensuring a pleasant and smooth stay. The rooms are spacious, tidy, and equipped with everything needed for comfort.

Everytime you had to charge your device, you had to turn all the lights on. The elevator was so slow and made multiple stops even though none of the numbers were pressed.

Very close proximity to the masjid, good location with shops nearby.

Great location but poor customer service, room service, zero to non housekeeping service non existing. Don’t even know where to start from. Called the house keeping for broken Tv remote control never changed it. So the children never get use the TV. Order food from the room service that was my mistake. I should have never order from the room service. They mixed up order. Served me one item at a time. Please people order from outside or eat outside they serve you left over food from the night buffet, Bad and rotten food. Whomever managing this hotel have no clue on food and service. GM needs knowledge of food and service. Very bad experience. I am definitely not going back to this hotel. My next visit I will stay somewhere else. Read less

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. Read less

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. Read less

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. Read less

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. Read less

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 . Read less

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.
