    great stay with a few suggestions

    The attention to detail in the hotel's aesthetics is remarkable, creating a pleasing atmosphere throughout our stay. Baasim's assistance during check-in was exceptional, making the process effortless and stress-free.

    While the overall experience was fantastic, incorporating a few more amenities could enhance guest comfort.

    My stay at Sofitel was exemplary, with a welcoming staff that efficiently assisted in arranging my business meetings and setting up necessary equipment. The room was meticulously cleaned, featuring a well-stocked mini bar and an espresso machine, along with complimentary fruits and juices on arrival. The breakfast offered a delightful variety of options, including freshly baked pastries and high-quality organic juices. The hotel's proximity to Masjid Haram made it convenient for my after-hours visits to the mosque.

    Awesome breakfast and staff

    So we booked a suite for 3 and it was super comfy! Really close to Masjid e Nabwi, which was a big plus. The food at breakfast was outstanding, and the chefs were really flexible with requests. Just had some power cuts and a leaking shower, but overall, it didn’t ruin our time!

    comfortable beds
    spacious room
    enough plug points
    dirty carpet
    poor shower setup

    The Classic Room Triple Bed was decent in size and had enough plug points, which was a plus. The beds were reasonably comfortable, and it had a small fridge. However, the carpet needed a deep clean, and the shower setup was annoying because it only had a hand shower and no main shower head. Overall, it felt a bit outdated but cozy enough for a short stay.

    unbeatable location
    helpful staff
    suite connection issue
    privacy concerns
    housekeeping interference

    The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the women's gate of the mosque, making it extremely convenient. Breakfast was enjoyable, and the staff consistently displayed politeness and readiness to assist. However, a suite request wasn't fulfilled as expected, resulting in two non-connected rooms that compromised privacy due to proximity to housekeeping storage. This experience overshadowed the otherwise pleasant stay.

    great location
    friendly staff
    fresh food
    noisy environment

    The hotel’s location is perfect, just steps away from the masjid, making it easy to explore the area. We loved how the restaurant staff went above and beyond for us, especially while we dined with our five kids. The food was always fresh!

    In my wife’s opinion, it would be great if they could improve soundproofing between rooms. We had quite a noisy experience due to doors shaking whenever neighbors came and went. Additionally, a dedicated kids' area would be a huge plus for families.
