AI Overview

Firdous Al Umrah Hotel sits in the Al Hajlah / Al Misfalah area on Ibrahim Al Khalil Road, southwest of Masjid al-Haram.
Based on the supplied coordinates and corroborating traveler comments that describe a 10 to 15 minute walk with no road crossing on the usual approach, a practical walking distance of about 1370 meters to the Haram edge is a conservative estimate rather than the older promotional claim of 600 meters.
For male pilgrims, the most logical arrival point is King Abdulaziz Gate, the main western-side entrance commonly used from Ibrahim Al Khalil hotels.
For women, I could not verify a hotel-specific official ladies route, but current Umrah hotel guidance for nearby west-side properties often points women toward Ladies Gate 17, so the women’s walking estimate is kept slightly longer and marked conservatively.
The hotel appears best suited to budget-conscious pilgrims who want walkable access rather than premium comfort.
Reviews consistently praise the location more than the property itself, while recurring negatives focus on cleanliness, small rooms, service inconsistency, and especially lift delays that can become frustrating around prayer times.
Overall, this is a functional but not luxurious Umrah base.
It can work for younger pilgrims or short stays who prioritize price and walking access, but families with elderly members or anyone sensitive to cleanliness and elevator waiting times should set expectations carefully or consider a stronger-rated nearby option.

What guests say

6.0/10

Review sentiment is mixed to poor overall. The location on Ibrahim Al Khalil is the main strength, with multiple reviewers saying the hotel is within walking reach of the Haram and taxis are easy to find. The repeated complaints are weak cleanliness, small rooms and bathrooms, elevator delays, night noise, and inconsistent front-desk helpfulness.

✓Walking access to the Haram
✓Good value when priced cheaply
✓Many shops, restaurants, and taxis nearby
✓Some reviewers found rooms acceptable for a short Umrah stay
✕Poor cleanliness reported repeatedly
✕Long waits for small lifts/elevators
✕Small rooms and limited luggage/prayer space
✕Noise at night
✕Reception/service inconsistency

Pilgrim tips

  • 1.Use King Abdulaziz Gate for the most direct approach from Ibrahim Al Khalil side.
  • 2.For women, aim to orient yourself to Ladies Gate 17 once inside the outer plaza area; allow a few extra minutes versus the men's side.
  • 3.The return walk is slightly more tiring than the approach because the route trends gently uphill away from the Haram.
  • 4.If traveling with elderly family, avoid peak prayer departure surges because elevators at this hotel have multiple complaints and the pavement gets crowded.
  • 5.Pack light for check-in and first entry; several reviews mention tight room space and slow lifts.
  • 6.Food is easier and usually cheaper if you walk away from the Haram side along Ibrahim Al Khalil rather than relying only on Clock Tower options.

Worship & getting around

🚗 ~75 min from the airport

I could not verify a dedicated musalla or Haram-view room category from reliable current sources. Verified amenities repeatedly listed include free Wi-Fi, restaurant, 24-hour front desk, laundry/luggage storage, and family rooms.

High on Ibrahim Al Khalil Road; reviewers specifically mention taxis being available at most times.
