Courtyard by Marriott Makkah

Over-all, superb place to stay in Makkah. We stayed here for 3 nights, with 3 kids. Its approx 3 km from Haram, so kind of walkable distance. There was shuttle service from the hotel, running every 15-20 mins. But, shuttle takes you to the central shuttle bus stop, and from there we get another set of govt. run shuttles (specific to Haram). Location of this hotel was convenient for shuttle too, the central shuttle bus stop was like 10 mins walk downhill. So, instead of sitting in Hotel shuttle (which had to go through the traffic, sometimes heavy traffic), we used to just walk downhill to the central shuttle bus stop and take govt. run shuttle to haram. We did same on the way back too, which is a little up-hill but better than waiting in the bus to get enough people for it to start. Specially in nights, hotel shuttle bus (from central shuttle bus stop to hotel) used to wait for enough people to be in the bus before starting, so we used to wait for few minutes and if it doesn't start then just walk back to hotel. Breakfast was really good, with multiple options/cuisines, and continuous refilling. All of us, especially kids, loved the food options. Room and bathroom were very clean, and daily service was an added bonus with kids. The quadruple room was spacious enough for 2 adults + 3 kids. And Room decor were very much new and well presented, so when we entered the room on day 1, everyone was like "wow". Staff was really helpful, no issues with anything.

The hotel is 5 star categorically and has opened up in August 2024. Even the rooms and corridors had this fresh smell. The buffet breakfast was way better than expected. The room was big for a family of 4 Although the Hotel is slightly far from Haram but they have managed it well with their own shuttle buses, which operate 24 hour between the hotel and Haram at every 30-minute interval.. And even then, the taxi will charge you 10 Riyal

I have stayed in various 4 and 5 star hotels in Makkah but this is by far the best one. Very friendly staff that attended to our every need. The hotel also served an excellent buffet breakfast which included American and Middle Eastern food with omelette station as well.

Miss shahad and hotel manager Yadmufti were very helpful and helped me adjust andd sorted everything. Thanks to them!

The check in was quick and smooth. The room was big and comfortable.
