AI Overview

Tofel Kendla Al Shorfa Hotel appears to be a budget property on King Abdulaziz Road in the Aziziyah/Mahbas Al Jinn side of Makkah, not a premium hotel directly facing the Grand Mosque.
Multiple travel aggregators place it in Mina/Aziziyah and mention Makkah Mall as a nearby landmark, which fits a more peripheral pilgrim stay rather than a Haram-front location.
The biggest uncertainty is location precision.
The coordinates you supplied imply a very short distance to Masjid Al-Haram, but several hotel aggregators describe the hotel as roughly 7 kilometers from central Makkah/Grand Mosque, so the walking figures here are conservative estimates based on the provided coordinates rather than strongly confirmed route data.
For pilgrims, the hotel is best understood as a value-oriented base suitable for those prioritizing budget over immediate Haram access.
If the coordinate pin is accurate, it is walkable; if the aggregator location descriptions are more accurate, then most pilgrims would depend on taxi or shuttle for prayers.
Review evidence is thin but generally points to acceptable staff service and basic room standards, with weaknesses in location convenience and overall amenities.
This makes the hotel more suitable for cost-conscious pilgrims who can tolerate a simpler stay and who do not require verified close walking access to the mosque.

What guests say

6.8/10

Limited review coverage was found. The most consistent picture is of a budget 3-star property in the Aziziyah/Mahbas Al Jinn side of Makkah rather than a true Haram-front hotel. Review aggregators list an overall score around 6.8 out of 10 from a small sample; repeated positives mention helpful management/staff and acceptable value, while repeated negatives center on distance from the Haram, modest facilities, and inconsistent upkeep.

Helpful manager and generally cooperative staff
Budget-friendly compared with central Haram hotels
Basic rooms with air conditioning and daily housekeeping
Not close to the Haram compared with central pilgrimage hotels
Limited amenities and dated budget-hotel feel
Cleanliness and maintenance appear inconsistent from the small review sample

Pilgrim tips

  • 1.This hotel is in the Aziziyah/Mahbas Al Jinn side of Makkah, so confirm your exact drop-off point before arrival; some listings place it much farther from the Haram than map-based coordinate assumptions.
  • 2.If you plan to walk, do it mainly for cooler prayer times; in daytime heat, taxi or shuttle is more practical, especially for elderly pilgrims.
  • 3.Ask reception on check-in whether the hotel shuttle goes directly to a Haram-side drop point or only to a main road/taxi stand.
  • 4.Because review volume is small, inspect the room early for bathroom condition, air-conditioning, and linen cleanliness so issues can be raised immediately.
  • 5.For women, verify the currently open ladies' access with staff or Haram security on the day, because gate usage can change with crowd control and prayer periods.

Worship & getting around

🚗 ~85 min from the airport

No reliable source found confirming an in-hotel musalla. Given the inland Aziziyah/Mahbas Al Jinn location, Haram-view rooms are not realistic.

Taxis and app cars should be available on main roads around Aziziyah/Mahbas Al Jinn; easier than relying on walking in heat or with luggage.
