Photos of Al Massa Bader Hotel
Photos supplied by the hotel. Room sizes vary within a category, so we confirm the exact room before you pay.
It scores 6.8 out of 10 on Agoda across 330 reviews, with location the strongest at 7.9 and facilities the weakest at 6.3. Trip.com guests are blunter still: the address is good, the lifts are crowded at prayer times and the rooms are plain. For the price, that is the honest trade, and it is why we say it here before you pay.
Who Al Massa Bader Hotel suits
Groups watching the budget
The quadruple room holds four in single beds, so a family or a group of friends can stay on one bill under two kilometres from the Haram without paying tower prices.
Pilgrims on a short stop
Staying two or three nights before moving on to Madinah? You will spend little time in the room, so the walking distance and the price matter more than the finish.
Travellers who want shops at the door
A pharmacy is 90 m away and two supermarkets within 200 m, which makes it easy to buy water, fruit and breakfast without a taxi.
Rooms at Al Massa Bader Hotel
Three categories are sold: a double with two single beds, a triple with three single beds and a quad with four. All have air conditioning, a private bathroom, a minibar and a TV, and some rooms have a fixed window rather than one that opens. Ask us to confirm the bed setup and the window before you confirm.
Double room (2 people)
Two single beds, air conditioning and a private bathroom. The usual pick for a couple or two friends.
Triple room (3 people)
Three single beds. Some of these rooms have a fixed window, so ask us to check if fresh air matters to you.
Quad room (4 people)
Four single beds, the largest category. The cheapest way for a family of four to stay near the Haram.
Getting from Al Massa Bader Hotel to Masjid al-Haram
The hotel is on the 3rd Ring Road in An Naseem. Agoda measures 1.2 km to Masjid al-Haram, 1.1 km to the Kaaba and 810 m to the Abraj Al Bait towers. The Saptco bus station is 1.9 km away and King Abdulaziz airport in Jeddah is about 73 km.
The walk in is around fifteen minutes, or ten to Bab al-Fahd, and it is flat the whole way. In summer, most of our guests take a taxi to the gate instead, which costs little and saves the midday heat.
Practical tips for Umrah stays
Leave for the Haram twenty minutes early
The lift is the bottleneck here at prayer times, and guests report long waits. Walking down the stairs for a lower floor or leaving earlier both help.
Buy water and snacks outside
There is a supermarket 120 m away and another 170 m away. Rooms here do not come with a kettle, so buy what you need for the morning on the way back.
Do not count on room WiFi
WiFi is listed as free in all rooms, but guests report it working better in the lobby. If you need data for maps or calls, a Saudi eSIM is the safer plan.
