Pros:

If you are planning for Umrah or Ziyarat, Swissôtel Al Maqam is by far the better choice. The location is excellent – one of the closest hotels to Masjid al-Haram. It has two very convenient access points: one through the Abraj Mall and another that leads directly to the Haram. The lifts are very fast, which is a big help during peak prayer times. Although the cleaning service is a bit slow, the location and convenience make it an ideal hotel for Umrah.

On the other hand, Swissôtel Makkah is not a good option compared to Al Maqam. The location and access are less convenient, and overall the experience feels weaker. If you have to choose between the two, always go for Swissôtel Al Maqam.

Pros:

It didnt feel like a 5 star experience. The only good thing about the hotel is the location. It is located in the Clock Tower & very close to the Haram. However, the room was small and the bathroom was extremely small and outdated. The pillows felt like they were old and wouldn't fluff. Extremely disappointed.
