Our Testimonials

"If you want to avoid the elevators of the Clock Tower, stay here. You take the lift down and walk straight out toward King Abdulaziz Gate. My mother uses a walker, and Taqwa Tours strongly recommended this hotel for its ease of access. They were absolutely right. It takes literally 2 minutes to get from the lobby to the prayer lines. The rooms are modern and comfortable. We will not stay anywhere else."

"We booked a Haram View room through Taqwa Tours, and the view was mesmerizing. You are so close you can see the flow of the Tawaf clearly. The soundproofing is excellent, but you can hear the Adhan beautifully in the room. The hotel feels very boutique and personal compared to the massive towers nearby. The agency made the booking process seamless, and the price was great for such a prime location."

"We stayed for 5 nights and were impressed by the service. The breakfast at Al Dana Restaurant was fantastic—lots of variety and very fresh. The staff were very quick to help with anything we needed. Taqwa Tours organized our transfers, and the driver knew exactly where to drop us off, which helped as the area is busy. A very comfortable, clean, and spiritually uplifting stay."
