6/10 Good

I booked a suite with a view of the Haram—the room is spacious but the furnishings are old and not tastefully decorated—much like the hotel itself, which has a truly dedicated staff, but the hotel is starting to show its age and needs a modern makeover. Another downside: there’s a food odor in the hotel, which is a shame and unpleasant. Fortunately, the location is ideal.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

I had a great stay at Swissôtel Makkah. The hotel is very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located close to Masjid al-Haram, making it easy to walk to the Haram. It was especially convenient for our family—I was able to leave the kids comfortably in the room while I went for Tawaf. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. Access to the rooms was quick and easy, and the hotel never felt overcrowded, which made getting around very convenient. The breakfast was also very good, with a nice variety of fresh and tasty options. Overall, I highly recommend Swissôtel Makkah for families and anyone looking for a clean, peaceful, and well-located hotel near the Haram.
