Apart from location of this hotel everything is terrible. Room was not sound proof the connecting door room was given and could hear whatever the other guest speaking. Can hear outside building works carried out even at 1am. Crowded lifts, you may need more time to get a lift. Mediocre breakfast deserts repeated everyday. Poor wifi signal did not connect, used my own personal data

Tajammul Hussain

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
I chose to stay at Zowar International Hotel mainly because of its proximity to Haram, which is very convenient. However, there is ongoing construction work right behind the hotel, and the noise from drilling and heavy machinery is quite disturbing throughout the day. The constant sound of boulders and foundation work made it difficult to rest — I even had to use earplugs, and other guests in nearby rooms were also complaining about the same issue. Unfortunately, there didn’t seem to be much the hotel staff could do to address it. It would be helpful if the hotel could inform guests in advance about the construction situation so travelers can make an informed decision.

Disappointing Stay at Zowar Hotel – Confusing Book

I arrived early at Zowar Hotel, only to find out that the booking name had changed to "Odest," which was confusing and frustrating. Thankfully, I was still able to stay at Zowar, but the experience didn’t improve much from there. The staff converted a double room into a king bed, but the room was cramped and unsuitable for a baby—there was barely any space to move around. Several amenities were broken, including the TV and hair dryer, which made the stay even more uncomfortable. I had originally planned to stay again after returning from Mecca, but based on the poor condition of the room and overall experience, I decided to cancel. The only positive aspect was the flexibility to cancel the booking without hassle. Would not recommend unless improvements are made.
