Nice video. Are you going to upload the next video from the bus stop to Haram entrance walk. Which door or side is near the bus stop. If some one decide to walk , how far is that and which entrance is closer?
Hello, here is the video of the walk, if you leave a comment on there, I will try to advise you: th-cam.com/video/JwHHaHreY6g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NyOFZFj__lRfQrRG
Jazakumullahu Khairan, brother. This is a very nice and informative video. Keep it up! I would like to know if I can get a taxi from the hotel for my mother, who is over 80 years old. Could you please let me know where the taxi will drop us off, how far that spot is from the Haram, and the approximate price for the taxi?
Salaam, thank you for the review. I’m considering booking this hotel and would love to hear more about your experience. Would you recommend it? Also, how was your experience with the shuttle bus service, both going and returning? Thank you for your help-JazakAllah khair!
My experience was overall good, all amenities like laundry, shops are in the hotel and shuttle service is excellent, buses running every 10 mins in front of the lobby. You can easily walk to Kaaba as well 15 mins.
@@zeeshandogar9406 I am plannibg to do umrah with family, Is it good hotel to book but its showing 2.5kms from haram Shuttle service is 24hrs brother? How long from shuttle drop to haram?
Salaam brother apologies for the delay, video is scheduled to be out tomorrow 6pm which shows the inside of the bus etc. in short the company is called North West Bus, and cost when I travelled was 25 Saudi Riyal per person. You can book it online but website for me was glitchy and I couldn’t book it, so I booked it when I landed as they have their own stand in the North Terminal.
It's gone up to 35 riyals now. If you have more then 25kg they charge another 20riyals on top. You have to wait sometimes 25 minutes.if you find another couple better to chip in and go halves
Alhamdulillah you were fortunate to have a kettle in the room that you stayed. The room that we stayed (also a triple), did not have a kettle. When I asked the receptionist if the hotel can provide us with a kettle, he laughed and said ''No''. I think it is good advice for people on preparation for this Journey. If you do not have a kettle available in your room at Al-Kiswah Towers, you can easily purchase a kettle from the shops. We bought ours for 35 riyals and SubhanAllah, for us it was a life saver... I pray that you have a Blessed and safe Journey. All who go Makkah, please pray for us.... My request to All who go to Madina, Please give my Salaam to our Prophet Rasool Ullah SalelahuAlaihiwasSalam.... Taqabballahu Minna Wa Minkum... Allah hafiz
@@SaraAhmed-cl3xm AsalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmat Ullah. Congratulations on Your completion of Umrah. May Allah SWT accept your Umrah and bless you for it. I pray that you had a pleasant and spiritual Journey. May your sins be forgiven and your good deeds and prayers be accepted. May Allah(swt) give you the tawfeeq to go back to The Holy Lands once again.. InshaAllah, next time when Allah(swt) invites us - we will be fully prepared. Please do dua for everybody.. Allah hafiz
As salaam u alaikum I just finished reading some really terrible reviews of this hotel. I am really worried as we are booked for next weekend. Your video is reassuring but did the hotel know you were going to make a video hence they gave you a nice room?
Hello, the hotel did not know I was making a video, no sponsored video and I paid for my room as normal. Is there anything you are worried about in particular?
@@5MinuteSchool the reviews talked about how dirty the hotel was and included pictures showing the condition. They mentioned how customer service was also not good. I just want to make sure I won’t regret booking our stay at this hotel.
@@seemarana9781I didn’t really have any issues. You can see from the room tour the furniture is dated but overall it was clean. I didn’t see any cleanliness issues in the rest of the hotel either. Customer service was also fine for me - staff were all polite, they did us a favour keeping our luggage aside while we did umrah and giving us advice, they delivered all the rooms fruit platters in the evening etc. The only issue is the dates furniture in the room I guess. If you want something a bit more premium then voco would be a good idea, but in general I would stay in Al kiswah again with no issues.
Yes . And there are 2-3 restaurants close by. Low price .Broast restaurant 2 minutes walk outside hotel. 1 portion daal is 9 riyals . Comes with 2 rotis. Ideal for 1 person. If you want for 2 people order 2 for 18 riyals.
@@shouq_at it’s a fair walk only because to get to the right gate you have to walk around. If you want a shorter walk then Anjum hotel is quite close (I have a video of it) and walking distance is less than 10 minutes to the Haram
The Kiswah shuttles are many. Sometimes they have different names on them. Ask driver. It drops you at kubree. 15 minutes walk to Masjid Masjid Haram as there is a lot of construction going on and there are barriers everywhere so you have to walk around in circles like an airport
@@shihabkhan2826 it’s best to check the prices online for an up to date amount on the website. I am not affiliated with the hotel. I just did an independent review.
Thank you brother, this review is very detailed and explained everything. JazakAllah

@Imran_A09 yes shuttle bus is 24/7. It will drop you right in front of the haram.

Any luggage storage service? We will arrive earlier than the check in time.
Yes, we also arrived 7am and they stored our bags until check in time
at the start of the video you mentioned you took a bus from Jeddah to Makkah. Which bus was this, and am I able to book this online?
It was by a company called Nw but I will make a quick video about this topic tonight for you brother.
@@5MinuteSchool Thank you, much appreciated - I look forward to the video

What about the rate

They do not have kettles. You can buy a kettle for 30-35 riyal
Yes They do have kettle. I am in Kiswah right now in triple room

Which name shuttle bus station bus drop off ?
The Kiswah shuttles are many. Sometimes they have different names on them. Ask driver. It drops you at kubree. 15 minutes walk to Masjid Masjid Haram as there is a lot of construction going on and there are barriers everywhere so you have to walk around in circles like an airport
2:59 😂 don't miss
Hahahaha
18 to 23 5 days how much??

How far haram by walking?
Maybe 30 minutes total
No it’s like 10-15 mins walk. I was there on tower 1 and all I done was walk straight
@@Scrotopitoly if you put the two locations in Google Maps, it says 1.9km distance and 28 minute walk.
@@5MinuteSchoolit’s just a 15 mins walk maximum honestly
Do we have to pay for the self service laundry?
Wich bus do you take from haram to kiswah towers?
From the same area they dropped you off, there are multiple buses which say kiswah towers and there is also a sign directing you which stop to wait.
Bathroom look dirty
