Al Shohada Hotel - Welcome to the Haram”

This is the first hotel I stayed in Makkah, and was quite impressed with the location, the staff, the reception area, and the rooms. Breakfast was a good spread, with hot food, and tea, coffee, salad, breads, sweets, drinks, dates, olives, it had everything. I would recommend this hotel to one and all. It is so close to the Haram, it takes two minutes to enter the Kaaba precinct. The bell boys were so knowledgeable about going to places for Ziyaraa, and they even had contacts with taxi drivers who were so friendly, and would go out of the way to help.

Excellent hotel”

Very good place to live near Masjid Haram. The rooms and washrooms are quite big and clean. The hotel is located at about 8 minute walking distance from Masjid Haram. The road to the Masjid is plane and concrete, so there's no need to climb or descend a hill, as is the case with many hotels in the area. Only problem we faced during our stay was poor WiFi network and internet speed. The staff was kind enough to set up a separate in-room router for us, but the internet speed was pathetic. They said the speed was low due to some ongoing construction of fiber-optics at that time. There's a grocery store, a pharmacy, a couple of fast-food take-away eateries and a small restaurant in the hotel's vicinity.
