Al Shakreen Golden Tulip

O read a lot of reviews about that hotel .. but my experience was really good … from the price in the hottest time of Ramadan .. receptionist cooperation and very friendly attitude specially Mr abdelsamad .. he was very very helpful in through my stay .. any problem he just fix by himself Also Samir very friendly and helpful guy The room has nice view and clean The location is really perfect near haram 1 min The food is accepted but not a lot of variation Overall experience was really good Thanks a lot

The hotel’s location is amazing it’s literally overlooking the haram. The service was good and the staff there is very helpful. They upgraded the room for me to a better one because I had a problem. I would recommend this hotel if you want a hotel with a reasonable price very close to haram

Extremely extremely bad experience, congested room. No space to perform nafal prayer. No chair to sit and pray for disable personel. Broken lift. Over prized just because closae to masjid a nawabi. Wifi doesn’t work. Inside the room you wont get mobile net so no one can’t contact you if you are inside the hotel. What a mess. They say its a 4star. I wont give half of it.

Be Warned and Do Not Stay In This Hotel!!! 1 - Men come into the room without notice, no knocking, I was so sick that I couldn't move and my husband was out and they kept coming in, I asked what they wanted and all they said was just 'checking' this happened all hours of the day, they weren't coming into the room for anything specific so I was on guard the whole time I was in the hotel. 2 days before our checkout someone entered the room again when my husband wasn't there to ask if we were checking out. 2 - Not once in the whole stay did they clean the room, it was absolutely filthy and disgusting, never been hoovered, food crumbs all over the floor, sheets never changed, towels never changed, nothing replaced including towels, tea, water, toilet paper. No wander everyone in our group got sick as soon as we stayed one night, I doubt they changed the sheets in our rooms when we arrived, so we were sleeping in the same sheets as the last guests. There was a constant smell of cigarette smoke in my room, which was suffocating. 3 - Breakfast, old reused food, nothing fresh to eat no fruit, pastries were stale, we ended up just having tea and getting our own food from outside. The one day there was a chef making omelette he was complaining about it. 4 - If you are white you will get treated right. I witnessed a member of our group being spoken to and looked after by the manager who also insisted her write a good review on Trip Advisor, anyone else you are treated like dirt on the floor. I asked to speak to the hotel manager several times, but was told there 'wasn't one'. 5 - Double bedroom so tiny you can barely walk let alone open your suitcase or pray etc. when we tried to move room the Arabs at the reception told us speak to the agent, who kept telling us the next day they would look, and 3 days past and they still hadn't done anything, they said there were no rooms despite the fact they moved several of our group to new rooms and people were checking out every day. They kept giving us the same line that our room was a 'VIP Room' like we're fools! I got so frustrated and in the end had to tell them to stop lying to me and if they don't do anything we are checking out. He then showed us several rooms which were exactly the same as our current one, until finally he showed us a room with a few inches more space and then said we had to pay extra for an extra bed and the view, NOTE: people in families of 4 in our group were getting 2 rooms with 6 & 8 beds with no extra charge so asking extra was totally out of order, in the whole process they were so rude and arrogant. The Arabs at reception are useless, manager nowhere to be seen (unless your white and privileged) and the agents don't give a damn unless you really kick up a fuss for days on end and tell them they are lying to there face! 6 - The workers don't speak a word of English so you cant communicate with them, they just sit around in the corridors, someone asked for new sheets in the room and all they did was turn them over. This hotel shouldn't even be a 1 star, it is a hazard to your health as soon as you walk in, please be warned and do not stay here at any cost. Anyone writing a five star review for this joke off a filthy place must of been paid or bribed in some way.

The location was amazing, less than 1 minute walk to the Haram. The rooms were nice and clean. Had a quad room, and it was two separate rooms with two bathrooms, which was great. You had to just make sure you get room service outside and request things and wait until they bring it. Otherwise, it can take a bit long. I would stay there again.
