Let’s start with the positive aspects: • The staff were very respectful — from the reception team to the technicians and luggage service. • The environment was quiet and peaceful. • The reception team responded promptly whenever assistance was requested. Areas for improvement: • The room was scheduled to be ready at 4:00 p.m., but I had to wait in the reception area for about 45 minutes before receiving access. • During check-in at Tower Two, I was informed that my room was in Tower One, on the ninth floor. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware that I was still in Tower Two, so I mistakenly went to the ninth floor of the wrong tower. It would have been helpful to receive clearer directions. I understand the staff were eager to prepare the room quickly, but a brief explanation about tower locations would have prevented this confusion. • A more serious concern relates to the convertible bed in the room. We were not informed that the bed could be transformed into a couch. While sitting near the head of the bed, it unexpectedly collapsed to the floor, posing a potential safety hazard — especially as there was a child nearby. This could have caused a serious injury if someone’s hand had been underneath. I strongly urge the hotel management to address this issue, either by providing clearer instructions or ensuring the bed mechanism is secured and safe for guests. The carpet also requires professional cleaning to maintain hygiene standards and overall guest comfort.

Very clean. There are 3 Novotel towers. Reception is in the tower 2 building. The breakfast is in tower 2 (top floor). Also, there is a salon for gents in tower 3 who took their time to shave boys’ heads unlike the hasty ones close to haram. Our family suite was great with 2 rooms (4 + 3 twin beds) enclosed by a common door. We didn’t use the hotel shuttle service. We would just take taxi to/ from haram for about 30 SR or so. There’s a small shop also open 24 hours for last minute shopping, we had to buy a suitcase from. Mountain views from the room were surreal too.

This was my first time staying at this Hotel. I must admit, it was a lot further away from Masjid Haram then I originally thought. The shuttle service, which runs every 30-mins from the Hotel, was great. HOWEVER, where the bus drops you, it is a very long walk to Masjid Haram. My wife and kids got really tired of walking. I'm comparing this to the other hotel I staying in Makkah (Swissotel Makkah) which was 2 mins away from Masjid Haram. Breakfast was ok too, but for some reason, it felt really cold in the dinning area due to the Air-conditioner being set of extremely cold. it made eating uncomfortable. Also, the chef at the omelet station was very slow. There was only one chef and the line-up was very long. Some items which was near finished were not replaced or refilled quickly enough. I had to ask the staff and remind them that some items were running short. The rooms were great and clean. No Issues with the rooms. Just remember, if you get a room with views to the back side of the hotel, it is pretty boring, nothing to see other then construction and a few mountains. There was also one issue with the shuttle service. Once we boarded the bus at Masjid Haram, we remain sitting on the bus for almost 1 hour because they has issues with finding a bus driver. My kids needed to use the washroom but remained on the bus hoping it would leave soon. It finally left1 hour later and you could see other passengers were also left disappointed in the service.
