Al Shakreen Golden Tulip

Considering the cost it wasn't upto mark... Below Average reception crew (have next to Zero Spoken English Skills) Stayed 3 nights, called Cleaning service 4 times, nobody came to clean the room in 4 days and 3 nights Perhaps good location for Gents, as it opens right in front of Haram Gate 307, but for Ladies its quite far Minimal breakfast options... quality below average for breakfast Swipe card didn't work after 12 hrs, and had to get it fixed almost three times a day... Room A/C thermostat non-functional Tiny shower area, in the bathroom Limited options for FOOD in near-by places Room was smelly, because of no cleaning Elevator kept of malfunctioning during EID period Stayed in Room 908... I will suggest to keep away from this room No proper lighting inside the room... stayed very dark even after turning ON all the lights Twice swipe card got stuck and door wont open from outside... had to go to reception 4 times and come back (back and forth)... didn't work... eventually had to kick the door, that worked, don't know what was stuck in it Overall... Below Average experience... wont recommend it

Very close to the mosque. However, small triple room. Toilet was nice and clean but the carpet in the room was absolutely filthly. Service is terrible. We asked our rooms to be cleaned and they weren't done for hours. Breakfast is free and pretty standard.

Excellent location that will always win patronage. Poor service all round - reception, check-in, luggage services, restaurant... Poor communication experience. Surprised that a previous guest came back all the way from Makkah for an item he forgot in his room but was simply turned back at the reception that they did not find anything, no check was conducted or inquiries made or even any assistance offered!

The best about it is the location, Very close to Haram, have just to cross the street (especially to the men gates, ladies gates are on the other side).. Cleanliness and Service are average, WiFi is slow.. On the other side, the rooms are toooo small, I think will Not be suitabe for family with kids.. -Update: This is the 3rd stay for me, Still the best value for singles because of the location.. May be cleanliness is a little bit lower than before but may be because of the crowdiness during the last 10 days of Ramadan, but still is OK
