What guests think

At Al Shahba Hotel, travellers highlight budget-friendly value and a walkable location to Masjid al-Haram (about 10–20 minutes, partly uphill), with public buses nearby, while feedback on cleanliness, room condition, and service ranges from positive to concerning.

Rooms are basic and often small or dated, with recurring maintenance issues like weak air conditioning, broken TVs or fridges, limited hot water, and tight bathrooms. Cleanliness reports are mixed: many found rooms clean, but others mentioned dusty carpets, pests such as cockroaches, and infrequent or absent housekeeping during multi-day stays. Service is frequently described as friendly and helpful, yet several guests reported poor customer care, language barriers, no luggage assistance, and in one case a serious breach of privacy. Overall, expect a simple budget stay near the Haram with trade-offs in upkeep, cleanliness, and consistency.

Rien que la proximité avec le Haram, un service client médiocre, il faut insister pour que ta chambre soit nettoyé. L'hôtel a besoin de rénovation. J'ai traîné mes valises à l'arrivée comme au départ aucune aide des agents de chambre. Je ne recommande pas L'hôtel.

I am giving five star grade as the bathroom was good, beds are clean, its close to the holy masjid and its very cheap. The service was good. They didnt appear to have hoovered the room, the tv snd fridge dont work and in general it's in a poor state of repair. This is a value hotel for you and your boys. Most wives living in the West would complain about the standards and the immediate surroundings. But like i said for the location its great value for 5 stars as you get what you pay for

The rooms were mostly clean but this is the best you can get for budget friendly stay. Average 20 minutes Walk to Masjid al Haram The staff and reception was open 24/7, and behavior of the staff was excellent. But the carpets were a little bit dirty. Hot water was available always I was a little bit late to check out but they were lenient with me.

Aside from the staff being friendly and welcoming, they were not much of help in many things..besides, the phone, lighting and elect sockets were not working..and they seemed OK with that. The room and bathroom were too tight. The water was not hot enough. Also, there was no bath tub or a closed cabinet...so whenever you take a shower it gets messy. Distance to Haram was not too far (15 min walk), yet the road was more like a ramp..exhausting to walk it and the public transportation to haram would not drop you close enough to the destination.

Hotel Review: Al Sahaba Makkah I stayed at Al Sahaba Makkah with my family for four nights during our holy trip to Makkah. The hotel is conveniently located near Masjid Al-Haram, within walking distance, or a short taxi ride costing 5-10 SAR. The rooms were clean and spacious, with basic amenities like towels, soap, shampoo, and an electric kettle with tea sachets. The staff was polite and helpful, adding to the overall pleasant experience. However, the hot water supply stopped after the first night, and the carpets in the room could benefit from a deep cleaning. Additionally, the road in front of the hotel is under construction until Ramadan, making luggage transport slightly inconvenient. Despite minor issues, the stay was enjoyable, with plenty of nearby shops and restaurants for added convenience. I recommend this hotel for its location and affordability, with hopes that management addresses these small concerns.

Location was good in the sense that it took only 10 minutes to get into the Haram/ Kaaba.

Hi, I never had this type bad experience ever in my life. I can not believe that Hotels.com promote this type hotel in online. It was absolute rubbish, from beginning to end. When I came to counter and asked for my key, the guy was so rude. I believe he was Pakistani. "I said can I have my key please ". He reply me I don't understand English, you need to speak Urdu. I am a British citizen, I need to learn Urdu to stay in a Hotel. Toilet was so dirty, I can not explain. Please kindly check the pictures. 3 days nobody came to change, or even asked about anything. No Toilet tissues in the toilet. I definitely need compensation for my booking.

Staying in Makkah is all about location: one straight line 900m from Haram, and free shuttle bus across the road from hotel to haram and from haram to the doorsteps of hotel with frequent service. Hotel was clean, check in was painless, and for the money you pay its the best choice.

Very stupid abusive manager and staff. Staffs secretly opened the door by using the spare key thinking that the guest was not inside but I was about to change my dress as soon as he had I contact he tried to run away and my husband caught him. Complained at the reception and the admin apologised and said by mistake he did it. By mistake using spare key how come someone opens the door as long as without asking to clean they don’t clean the room. It was on purpose. The admin even begged not to share this in my review.
