I stayed at Raffles Makkah Palace for 3 nights as one of a party of 11, 6 adults and 5 kids. We booked 3 city view suites. The check-in process was handled very efficiently and we were introduced to the front office manager on check-in who upgraded all our rooms to Haram View rooms. The staff were all very accommodating... 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

Dear Potential Travellers, We just returned from Makkah Raffles. We asked for early check in and the front desk manager was outstanding in his hospitality. Though the hotel had a full house, we were provided a room after a wait. The second night we were transferred to our requested room with a haram view. The signature suite is lovely, the... More

This was our first time with Raffles Makkah Palace. We have chosen a Signature Suit with Kaaba view. Rooms are extremely large. The hotel is located in a shopping arcade across the King Abdulaziz gate. Therefore the location is superior. It may be a bit pricey otherwise it is a great choice.

Raffles is a beautiful hotel personifying the high end of 5 *. The check in was smooth and both the duty manager and general manager came out to greet us and gave us an early check in knowing we had to perform our umrah. This got us off to a great start. The rooms are spacious, luxurious and very clean.... More
