Al Khulafa Diamond Hotel

Al Khulafa Diamond Hotel is in Makkah, about 6.7 km from the Masjid al-Haram; the nearest gate is Bab Al Safa on the Mas'a side. The distance rules out walking, and the hotel does not run its own shuttle to and from the Haram, so guests rely on taxis or transport they arrange themselves, ideally planned ahead of prayer times.

Rooms range from double rooms and triple rooms with three single beds to quadruple and family rooms. All are air-conditioned and come with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a fridge, a kettle for tea and coffee, blackout curtains and a private bathroom. There is an on-site restaurant, and room service is available around the clock.

The quadruple and family rooms suit families and groups, and the hotel has a kids' club, a fitness center and a games room with billiards and table tennis, along with wheelchair-accessible facilities, an elevator, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage; parking is available for a fee. On the other hand, the hotel offers no Haram view, no direct access to the Haram and no Haram audio in the rooms.
