Town House Castle Hotel

Town House Castle Hotel sits on Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Road in Makkah, about 4.4 km from the Masjid Al Haram, so it is not a walk-to-the-Haram property. The hotel bridges that gap with a free shuttle bus that takes guests to the Haram and back, making it a budget-friendly choice for pilgrims who prefer a reasonably priced stay away from the crowded central zone.

Rated one star, the hotel offers Triple and Quadruple Rooms with private bathrooms as well as Family Rooms. Rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a TV, refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine and safe, and some have a balcony. Room service is available, and according to some listings there is an on-site restaurant serving Middle Eastern dishes.

The quadruple and family rooms suit families and small groups, and the hotel lists wheelchair-accessible facilities and guest parking. Services include a 24-hour front desk, free WiFi, an ATM, currency exchange and a concierge. What it lacks is a swimming pool, and reaching the Haram means relying on the shuttle rather than walking.
