About

Hamad Saif Batal Hotel - Mecca

Hamad Saif Batal Hotel sits in Mecca's Ajyad district, a seven-minute walk from the King Abdul Aziz Gate of Masjid Al Haram. The 2-star hotel keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi throughout, a bureau de change, and a cash machine on site. Rooms range from twins to quadruples, all with air conditioning and showers.

Guests consistently mention the location and the staff. The team is described as friendly and helpful, arranging transport and offering local tips. The property sits on a slope, so the hotel provides a buggy service to help with the uphill walk. Room sizes are modest, but the cleanliness and practical comforts — safes, minibars, kettles — come through in reviews.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Compact rooms — Some guests note that rooms are small and basic, though they remain clean and functional.
  • Hill climb required — The property sits on a slope, so reaching the hotel involves an uphill walk. The buggy service helps, but it may still be a consideration for those with mobility issues.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel policy does not permit pets.

“I had a great time at this hotel! The location is super convenient, just a short walk to the Haram, which was perfect for my ibadah. The staff was friendly and always ready to help, especially the manager, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. Plus, I loved having access to unlimited water and a microwave to whip up snacks!”
