I recently had the privilege of staying at the Swissotel Makkah during my pilgrimage to Mecca, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations.
From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality by the staff, who went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and memorable. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, allowing me to focus on the spiritual journey ahead.
One of the standout features of the Swissotel Makkah is its unparalleled location. Situated just steps away from the Haram, I was able to perform my prayers with ease and convenience, soaking in the sacred atmosphere of the holiest city in Islam. The hotel's proximity to the Haram also meant that I could easily return to my room for rest and reflection between prayers, maximizing my time in this sacred place.
The accommodations at the Swissotel Makkah were nothing short of luxurious. My room was spacious, elegantly appointed, and meticulously maintained, providing a peaceful sanctuary amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. The plush bedding and modern amenities ensured that I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay, allowing me to fully focus on my spiritual journey.
In addition to its superb location and accommodations, the Swissotel Makkah offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the guest experience. From the well-equipped fitness center to the on-site restaurants serving delicious cuisine from around the world, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Overall, my experience at the Swissotel Makkah was truly exceptional. The combination of its prime location, luxurious accommodations, and attentive service made it the perfect choice for my pilgrimage to Mecca. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough to fellow travelers seeking a memorable and spiritually enriching experience in the holy city.

Its just a perfect spot next to The House to comfortably fulfil your religious duties. I stayed on a lower level floor with no view. The facade of the hotel obstructed this. I didn't mind. But if it is something important to you, you might want to mention it when booking or checking in. The prayer room in the hotel is a true gift. I wasn't in the good of health the last two days of my stay, but I had enough energy to go down and join the group. Also, the breakfast is phenomenal! Its a food court setting with all bases covered. When I was there not all the evening dining options were open, but considering the general fast food on offer around the Haram, this hotel probably also one of the best spots to enjoy healthy meals (especially during the high seasons).

The Holy City
This holy city is located in western Saudi Arabia and is also known as Makkah. Millions of Muslims make a pilgrimage here, as the pilgrimage is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad was born here, and it is a sacred place for Muslims and the birthplace of Islam.
Non-muslims are not permitted into Mecca and the government of Saudi Arabia issues special visas for people making the pilgrimage. Most people coming to the Mecca will enter via the Hajj Terminal at King Abdulaziz International Airport and Jeddah is the gateway to the city.
The Hajj has a fairly set itinerary including a visit to the Sacred Mosque, al-Masjid al-Haram, built around the Kaaba.
Mecca contains many restaurants with varied cuisine and tea shops are available for light refreshments such as traditional tea and biscuits. There are also many juice stands for a little refreshment amid the heat.
Ranging from luxury hotels to basic accommodation, Booking.com offers over 80 hotels for your time in Mecca.
The best place on earth. If you visit once, you will come again and again and again for sure. Lots of islamic historical sites and the center of the earth for Muslims. Easy to move via Taxi. Lots of frindly people. Lots of immigrant workers who love to help you any way they can. Just stay alert from the Pakistani Scammers. You may find them here and there. Mostly on the Masjid Al Haram. Do not help anyone if someone comes up with a story to tell. If they have a story to tell, they are scammers or frauds.

the importance of Mecca (Makkah) as a holy place for Muslims...
the importance of Mecca (Makkah) as a holy place for Muslims and the need for improvements in various aspects to better accommodate the millions of pilgrims who visit each year. Indeed, with such a significant religious and cultural significance, ensuring that the infrastructure and management systems are up to par is crucial.
Improvements in transportation, such as better roads and traffic systems, as well as parking facilities, can certainly ease the movement of pilgrims and make the overall experience more convenient. Additionally, clear signage and modern scanning systems can help pilgrims navigate the area more efficiently and understand the rules and regulations set by the management.
Consistency in the operation of facilities, such as the opening and closing times of gates, is essential for the convenience and safety of pilgrims. This consistency helps ensure that visitors can plan their activities effectively and avoid confusion.

Visited for Unrah just after Ramadan( on 3rd Eid).
Visited for Unrah just after Ramadan( on 3rd Eid).
Arrived by super fast train Harmain from Jeddah airport. Easy travel via Mecca shuttle bus from train station to Haram. Only cost 8 SAR-15 min drive.
City was very crowded and overwhelming during this period with very slow traffic around prayer times.
Performed Unrah after Duhr prayer, very crowded.I recommend Unrah after Usha prayer when it is quieter and avoid at least 1-2 weeks after Ramadan.
Book Harmain train tickets via app well in advance as can be expensive and tickets sold old. They only allow one piece of 25 kg luggage and a hand bag.

The best place is of course the Haram Al-sharif.
The best place is of course the Haram Al-sharif. Lots of different kinds of restaurant and food available in the city. If you don't mind riding in a taxi, it's easy to get around unless it's a Friday. Better know what the cost of a trip should be, otherwise you will get gouged by the cab drivers. The cops block off most streets around the Kaaba on Fridays and religious holidays. Mecca is not a fun activity city unless the fun activity is to go pray at the Masjid Al-Haram which really gives you a special happy feeling and soothes your soul when you see the Kaaba in front of you.

The people on the front desk were so nice and helpful.
The people on the front desk were so nice and helpful. The accommodation was nice and the price was reasonable and the hotel was nice and I got a nice hotel room.
Not far from Haram, but you need a ride it would take 10 minutes by car but they have shuttle bus just during the month of Ramadan .
Reasonable Price. Location is good in Al Aziziyah as its a short ride on taxi to Haram or hotel transport , when available. I preferred taxi with family and wheelchair accessibility. You can get dropped off and picked up very close to Haram gates and that makes the walk to a minimum compared to some hotels near Haram.
The reception staff are satisfactory, Service staff are quite friendly. The family rooms were simple but comfortable. All basic amenities available. Hotel food is fine.
Hotel was fine, but going to Haram need a taxi, I visited in Ramadan 2024, mostly taxi asking 20-30 to drop on Gaza gate from their walking to Haram takes 7-10 minutes. But if you ask taxi to drop near Haram under tunnel gate, which is close to King Fahad gate they ask more money, and in peak time taxi asking very high. Hotel also provide a shuttle 30 minutes before prayers but were shuttle drop need to walk 5-7 minutes to Haram.
Everything. The location not crowded compare the hotel near haram.
The staff- friendly and helpful. Even the bus driver also very helpful and help us with the baby stroller. It was so nice of him.
The room - very spacious and comfortable. It's worth the money.
The shuttle bus - always in front of the hotel. No need to wait long. Very efficient even from haram to hotel.
Easy to get groceries. It's beside the hotel only
The hotel room was very clean and comfortable. Conveniently located near Haram, only 3 to 4 minutes walk from hotel to Haram gate. Mall, food court and store like BinDawood only 3 minutes walk from hotel. Front desk staff was very professional and friendly. Large number and capacity of elevators hence no rush at the elevators before or after prayer which is a plus.
They have very compfy Master rooms and in a very cheap price like I got a master room in £135 for a week. Though it is 1.4km walk from the Haram but they have arranged buses for the stayers and these buses travel after every 20 mins so it is very convenient. They have a stop near Haram and also just sit in it in front of the Hotel.
Shuttle bus always available and Location of the drop point near haram very convenient, It will lead to ajyad gate where mataf is easily accessible .And hotel is Lil old need a bit maintenance. But it met my expectations... I loved the stay
Excellent location, Excellent service . Really great to stay with family . Hotel located near Haram but require to be take taxi to go to Masjid . Because the road is bit difficult to walk with family . Hotel is excellent.
The shops inside the hotel were very nice and prices are really good same as the ones near Haram
The breakfast was super nice
The room is nice and provided with high quality products free to use
Good and friendly staff. They are eager to listen to the customer's request. They fixed the problem as soon as possible. It is near haram. Overall it is a good and customer-friendly hotel.

Cleaning service especially Ashik was polite and helpful
Breakfast is awesome, we really enjoyed it
It's near Haram but need to go up to reach the hotel after that
