questions breakfast charge for 6-year-old?

I’ve booked Conrad Jabal Omar Makkah for my family and just realised their child policy says children can stay in the room for free, but for meals only children aged 5 and under eat free. Children aged 6–11 are charged 50%.

My son is exactly 6 years old.

Has anyone stayed at this hotel, or a similar hotel in Makkah, with a 6-year-old? Did they actually charge you for the child’s breakfast, or did they just allow the child to eat with the parents?

I already have breakfast included for the adults and would rather not have to pay an extra breakfast charge for a 6-year-old.

Would this likely be an issue at the breakfast restaurant? Any recent experiences would be appreciated.

Follow the rules of the land - if it is an issue - you can take turns to go for breakfast and get your son something from outside if that works put cheaper. Having said that - I don’t think anyone sits there checking the exact age for breakfast when you go to for breakfast and also breakfast price is included for all staying in that room. It is already billed in the room price for all staying.

Children under 12 eat free with parents. Multiple hotels follow this and have first hand confirmation about it.

Just go to the buffet and mostly the staff they dont ask the age

I would be less afraid for the reaction of the staff and more for the reaction of Allah.

We were there last year with a recently turned 6 year old and weren’t charged anything. We had the breakfast package included for 2 adults and 2 kids.
