This hotel is very Conveniently located near haram. And transportations are right at the door step. So instead of paying very high price for those 5 star clock towers I will recommend this hotel if your sole purpose is to perform Religious duties and come back to the hotel for a good night's sleep and wake up again early to go Do harm for Tahajjud.

The location is great- 10 mins to haram gate.
Manager showed me room before assigning.
I had a double room. Room was dated. Sheets , comforter and towel were clean.
Bathroom was a different story . Shower without shower curtains or doors.
I need a cheap place to stay near haram and that is what I got

Room is ok. Clean bed. Hot water was working and bathroom was clean. Location is great. few minutes walk from Kaba and shops nearby. However, carpet is very old and dirty. Wifi is very very slow. Also the thermostat is probably 20 years old; hard to adjust room temperature.
My husband and I found it to be a no-hassle hotel. Everyone was very friendly. Hotel room was clean. The showers are small and toilet doesnt flush well but overall we had a good stay.

Hotel is walking distance from the Haram but hotel condition was an average. Customer service was good. It would be nice to have a safety box in the room to secure your documents.
Excellent reception staff.
Good location, approx 5 mins walk to Al Haram.
Near the ramp Bridge to enter the first floor.
However, aside from lobby area, the rooms are old and bathrooms is dated.
It was clean, but not worth the price I paid.
I stayed there with my family and I was satisfied with my stay at Barakah hotel. Our rooms were clean and stocked with amenities. High speed WiFi available on premises. There are plenty of food options around there.
As the hotel is close to Haram, you can offer prayer in the hotel lobby if you are unable to reach to the Haram on time. It was very important for my parents to pray Fajar prayer in congregation from their hotel lobby.
The hotel is walking distance from Haram but it's slightly uphill which is difficult for older people to walk. My parents used to go to Haram and stay there for consecutive prayers.
One complaint I have is that there is no Adhan sound in the hotel rooms and you don't get to know prayer time if you haven't set an alert on your phone.
Overall, I am very happy with my stay and it is highly recommended.

Do not expect much paying little for this property. Basic amenities are met; working fridge, aircon, hot water. Room is fairly clean, cleaners did a good job cleaning the room. The room is small, but it does the job. Very close to the haram, about 10m walk. Small hotel, so waiting for the lift/elevator is not long. However the hotel needs to address the following issue- air con, wall clock, and tv remote is not working. Most hotels at this price do not provide iron & ironing board. So do take note.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and wanted to share our honest experience, especially after reading some mixed reviews before booking.
Check-In:
Check-in was smooth and quick. No issues at all upon arrival.
Location:
Excellent location. I’m not sure what people consider “far,” but from the hotel entrance to the entrance of Al Haram it’s about a 7-minute walk very manageable, even with crowds. The area is surrounded by small shops, eateries, and at night the streets come alive with vendors selling very affordable items. Truly convenient for anyone coming for Umrah.
Rooms:
Yes, the rooms are on the smaller side, but they are practical and efficient. You’re here for worship, not to lounge in the hotel all day, so for us the room worked perfectly. We had enough space for ourselves and our luggage, and it was comfortable throughout our stay.
Bathroom:
Hot water was always available. Toiletries were provided basic but sufficient and housekeeping happily gave more whenever we asked. My only suggestion to the hotel would be to add a shower curtain or provide a squeegee/mop to help keep the bathroom floor dry after showering.
Crowd / Atmosphere:
The hotel wasn’t overly crowded at all. We never waited more than a couple minutes for the elevator. Most guests were group tours from Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore), and everyone was very quiet, respectful, and clean. Overall, a pleasant environment.
What positive things can I say? It was located on the front strip in front of the Grand Mosque - about a 20 minute walk away (could be worse, and I couldn't find anything closer at this price point). Felt safe in the hotel and its surroundings. Around the hotel are numerous food stalls and food courts for take out food (limited seating at some places). The front desk check in person was pleasant and was able to tell us how much a taxi would cost to go out to Mt. Arafat and Mina.
Other than that, there isn't a lot of positive to say. The room was extremely small. The two single beds were smaller than expected - mine was OK, but my husband's was not very comfortable. The walls had stains on them where food hadn't made it into the trash can and though it was cleaned off, it wasn't cleaned well. The small bathroom was a "wet" bathroom where the shower was not contained in the extremely small pan where the water was meant to flow. There was a sewer smell from the drain in the bathroom. The people at a concierge stand could not help us get a taxi or answer any other questions that we had because we did not speak Arabic. The hotel caters mostly to groups.
Literally less than 10 min walk from the clock towers, which was super nice. Not the nicest Hotel, but it did the job, got in showered or slept and went right back to prayers.
The hotel environment was filthy, unsanitary, and unsafe, with:
Dirty and unclean linen
Mould in the bathroom
Fly infestation in multiple areas
Sewage/wastewater not draining properly
Room with bugs and roaches. Smelly floors, lobby was regularly unmanned. While checkout, the staff was not ready take the baggages on trolley outside hotel gate. We had to take our own baggages outside to the taxi that was parked 50m away as parking is not allowed jn front of hotel. The only good thing about this hotel is the proximity to Haram.
Not a clean hotel.
Carpet was extremely dirty.
Toilet was 100 years old.
