About
Best Western Ajyad Makkah

7.3Verified guest“We had a nice stay; the hotel is clean and modern, though a bit far from Haram. The staff, especially Manager Mr Ehaab, were friendly and made the experience better. There were power outages and an unhelpful reception at times. The location is good for visiting the Grand Mosque and Safa Hill, ideal for family time, but the leisure facilities could be better. A decent choice for the price if you can handle a few issues.”
7.3Verified guest“The quadruple room is comfy with a modern bathroom. Everything is clean and the beds are large.”
7.3Verified guest“A very friendly place – I only stayed one night but the room was extremely comfortable.”
7.3Verified guest“A fairly clean hotel in a new building, very close to the mountain and the mosque. The rooms are exceptionally nice for such a new property, and the staff are kind and well-mannered.”
7.3Verified guest“The hotel is modern and clean, with friendly staff. The golf cart service made it easy to get to the main road after long days – sharing jokes with the drivers was a bonus.”
7.3Verified guest“The location was a real struggle: hard to find, taxis didn't know it, and the steep walk back was tiring even with the shuttle. Not ideal.”
