Violet Azizia Hotel

Violet Al Azizia Hotel stands on Riyadh-Taif Road in the Al Aziziyah district, south of Masjid al-Haram and close to Al Qatari Mosque, about 2.7 km from the Haram. It is not a walk-to-the-Haram hotel; instead, a guest bus runs to the Haram around the clock, though the ride can take longer when traffic is heavy.

Rooms range from King, Twin, Triple and Quadruple options to a Family Studio, Deluxe, Family and Executive Suites, two- and three-bedroom suites, and pairs of connecting rooms for four or five adults. The on-site restaurant serves international halal dishes. Breakfast is not usually included; a buffet is available for SAR 155 per person, and during Ramadan iftar and suhoor are served instead.

Families will appreciate the indoor heated pool and the kids' pool, and there is also a gym (extra charge), free WiFi and a 24-hour front desk. On the other hand, parking is limited and must be reserved ahead, pets are not allowed, and the guest checking in must be at least 18.
