Worth Elite Hotel – Ibrahim Khalil Road, Makkah, Stayed 9 Nights.
We arrived just before Fajr in heavy rain and sadly had a very poor start. The receptionist Saif couldn’t find our confirmed Agoda booking, and despite showing him proof of payment, he said there was nothing he could do and told us to contact Agoda ourselves. He didn’t speak English, was uninterested, and even refused to let us use a toilet or shower to freshen up after travelling. Luckily, a kind hotel guest allowed us to use his shower before we left to perform Umrah.
When we returned, everything changed thanks to Alaa. She was incredibly warm, professional, and genuinely caring. She spent a long time resolving the issue, chased her manager, and finally got us checked in. Her patience, kindness, and excellent customer service completely turned our experience around. She even upgraded our room and was always smiling and helpful throughout our stay. Honestly, Alaa is the main reason we would return and recommend this hotel to friends and family.
The rooms are clean but slightly small, and the shower water splashes everywhere. Adding a simple curtain or enclosure would make a big difference.
The location is fantastic, just a 10-minute walk to Masjid Al-Haram and surrounded by great food places and shops. Housekeeping was also very good with daily cleaning and fresh towels.
Apart from the stressful first day, the rest of our stay was comfortable and memorable, thanks especially to Alaa who is the best.
