Al Kiram Hotel

Al Kiram Hotel is in the Al Mursalat area of northern Aziziyah in Makkah, on Tareeq Al-Masjid Al-Haram, right next to Al-Mustashfa Al-Ahli hospital. It is an independent property with no chain affiliation. The hotel is about 4.4 km from the Grand Mosque, and the nearest gate is Bab Al-Safa on the Masaa side, so reaching the Haram is not a walk: guests need a taxi or another form of transport for every visit. This suits pilgrims who prefer to stay away from the crowds immediately around the Haram and who plan their visits in advance; some listings also describe the area as relatively close to the Jamarat Bridge. It is worth budgeting the round-trip travel time when planning prayers at the Haram.

According to some listings, room options include a triple room, a king room, a twin room, a family suite and a royal double suite. Rooms come with air conditioning and a TV, and free WiFi is available at the hotel. For meals, there is an on-site restaurant as well as a cafe for drinks and light bites, which spares guests a search for food after a long day of worship, especially since the hotel sits in a residential district well away from the central area around the Haram.

The hotel suits families looking for triple rooms or a family suite outside the central zone. It offers free parking for guests, useful for those arriving by car, and a laundry and dry-cleaning service during the stay. According to some listings, check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 noon. On the other hand, there is no swimming pool, cribs and extra beds are not available in the rooms according to some listings, and pets are not allowed, so families should rely on the available room types when choosing accommodation that fits their size.
