Al Massa Bader Hotel

Al Massa Bader Hotel is a 3-star property on Ibrahim Al Khalil Street in the Al-Masfalah district, the street that runs from the south-western side of the Haram plazas. The hotel is about 840 m from the Haram, with King Abdulaziz Gate on the southern plaza as its nearest gate, and the walk takes roughly 12-13 minutes along the same street. That suits pilgrims who prefer to walk to the Haram for prayers rather than depend on a car or wait for transport, especially at busy times. The hotel is an independent, stand-alone building on this street with no affiliation to any international hotel chain, and it is a large property with around 660 rooms, which makes it a practical choice for big groups travelling together for Umrah.

Room categories include a double room with two single beds, a triple room with three single beds and a quad room with four single beds, a mix that suits families and groups who prefer to stay together in one room. Rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom, with daily housekeeping and free WiFi; according to some listings, non-smoking rooms are also available. For dining, the hotel has a single main restaurant serving local and regional dishes, and all food served is halal, but breakfast is not included in the room rate, so guests should budget for meals separately. Credit cards are accepted for payment, check-in starts from 4:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 noon, which pilgrims arriving on morning flights should keep in mind when planning.

The hotel offers its guests a 24-hour front desk, a safe deposit box at the front desk for valuables and cash, an elevator, parking for those arriving by car, and an ATM inside the building for cash withdrawals. It also has a small mosque where guests can pray without leaving the hotel, a meeting room, and a travel and ticket booking desk. Under the hotel's policies, children are welcome and may incur extra fees, a security deposit of about 100 SAR is required at check-in, and bookings are non-refundable and non-cancellable once confirmed, so travel dates should be certain before booking. On the other hand, breakfast is not included in the stay and pets are not allowed; this is a practical, no-frills hotel that suits pilgrims who put walking distance to the Haram and room capacity first.
