How do you find a cheap hotel in Makkah?
- Travel off-peak: the same room can cost several times more in the last ten nights of Ramadan than in summer.
- Share a room: many budget hotels offer triple and quad rooms, which cut the price per person.
- Check what "near" means: read the distance in metres and the walking route, not only the hotel description.
- Book refundable early: book a free-cancellation rate early, then look again closer to your dates.
