I stayed in Raffles Makkah in June 2013. the hotel is not bad, nice atmosphere, great location. I stayed in a presedential suite, its quite small. House keeping and food is not the best. Employees work best when tipped, so without a tip you won't get good service. I'm not sure if I'll stay again in this hotel. I prefere... More

If I could move and live here forever, I would! From start to finish the experience was excellent. The staff is efficient and hospitable! They went above and beyond to make sure our experience was unforgettable. We checked in which was a breeze. The room was a suit with a living area and the bedroom. There is free water bottles...

Alhumdolliah Raffles is the best hotel we have ever stayed in in Makkah. From the point of check-in the superior customer experience started.Through the whole stay in the hotel we had great service. There were three people in particular which we were really pleased with: Abdulaziz (at Reception), Chakiri our butler and Amin in the kitchen. Raffles was more expensive... More

I would have to say that this is the most amazing hotel that I've ever stayed at, albeit probably the most expensive as well. First, it is as close as it gets to the Kaaba. We got a room with a partial view and we had an entire view of the Haram other than one minar was blocking the Kaaba.... More

We have stayed at this ideally located hotel many times; in the junior suite, in the presidential suite, as well as the royal suite. The hotel is certainly a 5 star hotel, but over the last 3 years of my traveling to this hotel, the quality of service certainly has shown some decline. The advantages are: Perfect location/ proximity to... More
