Elaf Ajyad is a homely hotel. My spouse and I enjoyed our stay there. The staff are very helpful and polite. The breakfast buffet which came along with the bed is rich and good effort is made to introduce variety. The proximity of the hotel to the Haram is good and good effort is made to alleviate the discomfort of the elevated location of the hotel with the shuttle bus which brings guests downhill and up hill on return.
Areas to improve on:
1. The hotel is quite old and some aspects need attention. These are the furniture, the drainage system, especially floor drains in bathrooms which requre good maintainance and cleaning. However, I opine that the antic nature of the hotel should be maintained.
3. The shuttle bus service should be improved such that there is always a bus downhill. A time program can be introduced.
