Lobby-Café - Shohada Hotel Makkah Nicht abgeholt

I had a great stay at Al Shohada Hotel. The staff is incredible, breakfast was great, the room was enormous and clean, the location is one of the best features together with the Head Chef, who cooks great. All in all - FANTASTIC ?

Very close to the haram you can hear prayers in your room which is beautiful. Clean hotel with friendly staff. Room service is amazing and the buffet is absolutely amazing!!! They have a large spread with a variety of salads, fruits, mains and desserts catering to all (mediterranean/ south asian etc) lovely healthy meals

5 to 10 minutes walking distance till Haram , depending on the walking speed, rooms r good Masha ALLAH very spacious, if u have booked the hotel with food inclusive make sure u be in the dining area on time coz they won't keep anything extra for u , they have Masjid for ladies n gents on 1st floor ....hygiene is maintained, time to time room service is done n also zam zam water bottles r provided to the guest everyday.happy with the service.

Most of the bad experience I had was at the breakfast area. The manager was rude and there was no toaster and the staff their ignored you when asked for butter and every morning you went for breakfast you would need to register at the entry before they let you in. Breakfast not much variety either. Overall I give it 2 stars. The staff upstairs were all brilliant though

Not 5 star, more close to a 3 star. My star rating is based on internationally accepted hotel star rating standards. The hotels decor and furniture is dated but functional. Rooms include en suite shower and toilet but again, expect it to be dated and sometimes with leaks (our bidet leaked). Beds are clean but duvet and pillow were not as comfortable as other similarity rated hotels. Carpets very dated and looks somewhat unclean. Lobby area is massive but unless you’re using it for a meeting or something, it will not be relevant to you. They have 6-8 lifts which are vey good but get busy at prayer times. Breakfast is ok, not continental and unfortunately the options do not change much however, there are plenty of options. They try and cater for people from all parts of the world (Western, North Africal, Middle Eastern and Far East). Distance to Al Haram is about 15 min walk taking in to account the crowds. Otherwise, with a brisk walk through clear streets you can get there in about 6-8 mins. Staff are generally friendly but very busy and on multiple occasions, my requests were either forgotten or ignored. The hotel smells good as they use air fresheners. All in all, worth the stay but don’t expect a 5 star experience similar to some of the other leading local hotels such as Swissotel, Swissotel Makkah, Hilton, Zamzam Pullman, Clock tower hotels etc.
