Being a Jumeirah one member for years and always stay at these hotels when I can find one. I have previously stayed in a few other hotels around the haram, they all have positives.|We stayed at the west tower room. It is nice to a lot more women working at checkin. No one at checkin tells you where the breakfast room is or how to get to this. The service in Makkah is generally slouchy. The lady at check in was good and friendly. We had 2 rooms booked but we did not get our 2nd room till 5.30 pm (after calling and chasing for this like 10 times, calls made then eventually went to lobby to see what issue is ) which as a loyalty and for Jumeirah hotels was not acceptable, we got a couple fruits to make up for it which is not acceptable for such a delay. So I have to mark them down for this (still being very generous) . The reason they gave us was that there was already people in the room, but checkout is very in the mornings? so at another customers expense you kept another one happy ?| The hotel is actually not as short walk (due to crowds and closed areas)compared to Hilton suites, Conrad or clock tower fairmont, hotel as it is like at the end and closer to ibrahim khalil road. They have done some good development around the area and more new shops and hotels have opened up which is good. |house keeping staff were professional and did a good job. After day of being in the haram; it was nice that we came back to a nice fresh clean room. |Room: was a good size the beds were good size too, we got twin beds, one room had sofa the other one did not. Bathroom was an ok size, too. Amenities were in the room, but the tooth brush was a bad quality. |entrance and lobby is not as grand as a typical Jumeirah but it is well maintained and clean overall.|Concierge and everyone by the front door is also very nice and helpful, they take care of you a lot. |Breakfast: nice seating area but sometimes tables were bit dirty. It was nice that they ask your drink order and come back promptly. It is a big spread. But most of the food is cold😏, the pan jacked, French toast, was all cold, the sweet potatoes, parata and slider burger with chicken tikka was cold, it ruins the taste, and if kept under the heating, how does it go cold so quickly ?? The parthas who makes them they were nothing like a paratha I have ever seen, like a popadom..even freezer ones don’t taste like this. I was disappointed with a lot of the food. The bakery section was not as good quality, I say this as this is a Jumeirah hotel and the quality of the croissants, muffins was hard rock and not much choice. The juices, fruit and letter were good. They have more Far Eastern Asian dishes. big spread but not much you can enjoy. Karak tea was great!|Ladies pray room is good size, but you only see some of the courtyard. Compared to some other hotels.|I feel like sometimes hotels do take advantage of the customers performing umrah, like they don’t have to be as nice or polite as they won’t get angry customers, but it makes it look worse on them. You pay a lot for such hotels and apart from stay with us again you don’t get many other words.|I ended up going to the bateel cafe, as the coffee was nicer there.
