The Ibis Styles Hotel Makkah can be your best choice for a long stay near Al Haram, Makkah. I stayed here for 8 nights and had no complaints at all. The room was very spacious, the bathroom was clean, and the Wi-Fi was fast. The hotel provides a free shuttle to Al Ghaza Bus Station, running every hour, which makes the journey to Masjidil Haram easier and more comfortable. They also offer a nice breakfast for 35 riyals. There are many Turkish restaurants nearby, as well as minimarkets that sell special Arabian gifts, various dates, and other food and beverages. There is also a mosque nearby. We really loved staying here.

“Exceptionally clean”

We stayed at hotel Ibis Styles Makkah for one night upon our return to Makkah. We were really impressed with how clean and new the hotel is.

We stayed at hotel Ibis Styles Makkah for one night upon our return to Makkah. We were really impressed with how clean and new the hotel is. For context, we had stayed at a top 5* hotel close to the haram at the start of our trip and perform Umrah once a year. We did have to do two rooms for our party of four but it still cost us a quarter of the price I would have paid for a 5* local hotel quad room. The hotel had all the usual amenities. Tea/ coffee making facilities, body wash and shampoo. The beds were super comfortable and bedding was of a good standard. The only thing I’d like to mention is that the sink was quite small and made performing wudhu quite difficult. Now the location- we knew that this hotel was far and required a shuttle to get to the haram. The hotel provides a free shuttle on the hour to the haram. We had missed the shuttle and so had to take a taxi at prayer time. It was a hassle finding a taxi that was willing to take us close by but also the traffic makes the journey so long- however, they drop you quite close. It cost around 25SAR. On the way back, we struggled to find a taxi willing to take us back following prayer. We had to walk to the road outside Anjum hotel and after many attempts, found someone willing to drop us off. After prayer, we were either getting flat out no’s or were being quoted 80SAR. Unfortunately we did have to use an unlicensed taxi. Many taxi drivers do not even know where this hotel is so we wasted a lot of time showing them on google maps. We also decided to try the shuttle. It was a big clean coach and we managed to get a seat (we didn’t go at prayer time) and it dropped us off to Al Ghaza Bus Station which is by Ajyad street. The journey itself wasn’t too long however, the walk to the masjid was extremely long. In total it took us 30 minutes. We are both in our 40s and in generally good health but we found it quite tiresome. By the time we got to the entrance of the masjid, we were already exhausted. Taking 30 minutes at 2am is excessive. I really really like the hotel but unfortunately for me, it’s too far. It was extremely cost effective but I’m not sure if I could get used to the travel to and from the masjid.
