“The hotel's direct access to Masjid Al Haram simplifies the pilgrimage experience, a real advantage. I think the views of the Kaaba elevate the stay, and the international breakfast caters to diverse tastes. While not directly on the front side of the clock tower hotels as some guests have assumed, it still maintains high standards.”
