Makarem Mina Hotel

The hotel is good , most worker are nice and friendly,, the rooms will be cleaned only if u ask, they fix room issues in reasonable time,, my only negative experience was with the hotel bus to alharam,, the driver don't care to be found,, 2 of the drivers specifically ,,the midnight one was the most helpful by making it easy,helping me with the wheelchair of my mom ,,, usually the bus have a side to be on i have waited with my mom on the wheelchair and my 13 years old son for 5 hours for the bus,, during Ramadan,the driver enter in the big parking and change side each time so we just waited in the entrance on the bus and run after him as he don't park a bit ,,,he drop people down then close and leave if u catch him good if not best luck next bus,, the 5 hours day i figured out that the driver in traffic use another way to enter the haram which is around 150/200/miters from the main entrance drop people and go back same way never check if anyone waits doesn't park for few min to be seen or found between another 200 buses or more or go down to the original spot to let people who's waiting know,,the hotel never answer the phone,,, 5 hour's with my 77 years old mom and 13 years old son drained of energy,hungry,bad bus experience and when i asked the reception if the bus had issue he said i should take the 3 drivers numbers to check with them where they gonna be! So its my mistake after all

Nice place neat and clean place... Atmosphere good ?.. I want an job on this hotel if owner give me...

It is a nice hotel. The hotel staff were nice and helpful whenever we needed them. House cleaning staff member Faheem from Swat Pakistan was very very helpful when we needed to find a bucket. He went above and beyond to help us. The wifi comes in and out and times depending on where you are sitting in the room. Also there is a free shuttle service that runs almost every hour to Haram and back, so you won't need to take a taxi to get to Haram. We stayed during the month of Ramadan 2022, sehri and iftar were not free so you would have to pay for them. I believe 55 SAR for sehri and 75 SAR for iftar.

Good: +Easy parking available near to the Hotel + Rooms are big + very reasonable price with acceptable quality of furnitures and spacious room. + Near to restaurants (e.g., Tazaj, Subway etc.,) + ladies staff at the reception are speaking English which is easy for communication +Free wheel chair available to take to Haram and return( but if you ask the male staff he’ll say not available) check with housekeeping. +Free shuttle bus service to Al Haram Bad: - bus service not following the time schedule and one of the driver is not responding properly. - Floors to be maintained well. If it is carpet based it would be good.

Makarem Mina Experience Hotel Reception: The staff was very respectful, cooperative and i didnt feel any difficulty communicating with them. The lobby had good number of clean seating arrangement and was able to provide sittings for atleast 50 people. Rooms: The hotel rooms were clean and with facilities available at your service. The rooms were spacious and good to accommodate 2 guests. The only thing missing was that the internet password was not available in the rooms, u have to ask the reception for it. The beds were comfortable and one could sleep peacefully in them. Food: The buffet had a good range of cuisines and the food was delicious. Seating arrangement was efficiently arranged to accommodate yet not to make the guest feel congested. The waiters were respectful and had good comforting smile on their faces. Transportation: The distance from AlHaram does not allow a walk, one must b ready to spend 20-30 SAR in a taxi/cab one-way in Ramadan days, im sure the rates would differ during normal days. Bus/Shuttle service for the hotel was delayed may b coz of traffic during Ramadan, thus taking a cab seemed like a quicker option. Summary: Overall the a fun stay, had a good time in Makarem Mina Hotel. Surely would recommend people to stay if they cant find a close-by hotel.
