The hotel is two streets behind the Masjid but within walking distance. The reservation as well as reception staff are very friendly. I had booked a double room but was upgraded to a one-bedroom suite which was large even compared to some 5-star hotels in the vicinity. The rooms as well as the toilets were clean. However, they need to... More

Wi-Fi does not work at Rooms. One needs to go down to lobby for Wi-Fi connection. Difficult to find the Hotel entrance which is at the back. Breakfast is alright but no coffee on the menu. Good thing is the location, very close to the Haram. Friendly people at the reception.

We travelled to Madinah in March 2013 and found this hotel very average. A two to three star hotel. The highlight is that it is relatively close to the Haram. Check in was relatively easy and the staff were helpful, although communication can be difficult at times. The upkeep of the rooms was poor, with no kettle in the room... More

The main positive is the proximity to the masjid. It's a short walk away. The staff were quite friendly too. The rooms were nothing special. I expected it to be a bit cleaner, especially at the rates they charge. Compared to other hotels in the area the rates are OK. They claim their rooms have wifi but this is NOT... More

Firstly I would like to commend the hotel on the cleanliness and excellent sleep quality I have experienced at this hotel and the convenience of being able to walk to the haram. Unfortunately the language barrier was the biggest issue at this hotel as most of the staff could not understand English. There was a huge variety for breakfast unfortunately... More

Great location, very near to the mosque, and it's safe to walk on your own at night. The buffet has wide variety and it tasted nice. The room was spacious, clean, had good interior, and the international tv channels worked perfectly. The staff was not very helpful but it's not something that I expect in this part of the country.
