Hotel Testimonials

"We wanted a 5-star experience without the price tag of the front-row hotels, and the Marriott was perfect. Taqwa Tours recommended this option, explaining that while it's a bit further back, the 24/7 shuttle drops you right near the Haram. They were right—we never waited more than a few minutes for a ride. The rooms are spacious and very clean. A fantastic choice for families looking for value."

"After a long flight from the US and performing Umrah, you need a good bed. The signature Marriott beds here are incredible—I slept so well. The hotel lobby is stunning and very grand, a nice place to sit and reflect. Taqwa Tours handled our booking and ensured we had a quiet room away from the street noise. The breakfast spread was huge with plenty of American and local options. Highly reliable comfort."

"We loved that this hotel is not attached to a shopping mall. It feels much more peaceful and spiritual than the Clock Tower hotels. The staff were extremely polite and helpful with my elderly mother. Taqwa Tours organized our package, and their ground team met us at the hotel to ensure a smooth check-in. The prayer room in the hotel is also very spacious and beautiful. A serene and spiritual stay."
