Worth Elite Hotel

Worth Elite Hotel is an excellent budget-friendly choice for pilgrims travelling from the UK. This 3-star hotel is located just a 10-minute walk from the Masjid al-Haram, offering you the flexibility to enter the sacred site early for prayers without a long commute. Rooms are air-conditioned, include free WiFi and tea/coffee making facilities, and the hotel has a 24-hour reception to assist with your needs. While the rooms are compact and bathrooms modest compared with luxury properties, the unbeatable location and value for money make this a smart pick for those who want to maximise time in the Haram while staying within budget.

At Travelshook, we recommend the Worth Elite Hotel for individuals, smaller families or groups who prioritise proximity and cost-efficiency over extravagant amenities. If you’re looking for larger rooms, premium dining or leisure facilities, we also offer upgrade options to higher-star accommodation in our luxury Umrah packages.

Pros

• Excellent location: Many guests highlight how close the hotel is to the Haram, making it very convenient for Umrah or Hajj. For example, one review says: “Very near Haram … 10 minute walk”

• Good value for money: As a 3-star hotel so close to the Haram, it offers a budget-friendly option in a premium location. 

• Cleanliness & helpful staff: Many guest comments appreciate cleanliness and friendly staff service.

• Essential amenities covered: Free WiFi, air-conditioning, tea/coffee making facilities in the room – useful for travellers from the UK. 

Cons

• Room size & bathroom layout: Several reviews report that rooms are quite small and the bathroom may not separate the shower properly, causing the entire bathroom floor to get wet. 

• Lift/Elevator congestion: Because the building has many floors (and many guests during peak times), lifts can become slow and crowded. > “They have 21 floors and only 3 lifts… took 10 minutes in the lift”

• Limited luxury amenities: As a 3-star property, it lacks some of the higher-end amenities found in 4- or 5-star hotels (e.g., fewer dining options, smaller lobby area). 

• Visibility & exterior appearance: Some travellers mention the hotel is harder to spot when arriving by taxi, and the busy surrounding roads can make immediate access more challenging during peak prayer times.
