Hotel was fairly clean, and thankfully the hot water system was working this time. However only two towels were provided. This is the third year I have used this hotel and they still do NOT provide wi-fi in the rooms, only in the lobby and connection is slow. Although a very good shuttle service is provided from the hotel to the Haram, at peak prayer times, there is so much traffic it is quicker to walk to the Masjid, and sometimes, such as at Jumma, they may not run the service as the traffic police close the road towards the Haram. The main reason I book this hotel is that it is fairly good value. The room rate is normally lower than other hotels closer to the Haram. Almost always they give the option to cancel the booking up to a day or two before arrival, and they provide reasonable breakfast, although this time I thought it was a little disappointing and bland. Although it is 10 to 15 minute walk from the Haram, they do provide a useful shuttle bus service. The other good thing for me is that the hotel is right next to the Second Ring Road so when I leave the hotel for Jeddah and Jeddah Airport I can get away quickly without having to go through the centre of Mecca.
