Dar Al Eiman Al Haram Hotel Madinah Review: Steps from the Main Ladies’ Entrance, 606 Renovated Rooms, Ranked #10 in Madinah
If you are researching an honest Dar Al Eiman Al Haram Hotel Madinah review — formerly known as Al Haram Hotel Al Rawda — this guide covers everything before you book your Umrah stay. Located in the Northern Area of Madinah just steps from the main gate of Al Haram, this property holds one of the most significant positions for female pilgrims and families in the entire city. With 606 newly renovated rooms, Haram view options, a TripAdvisor ranking of #10 out of 253 Madinah hotels, and a Ramadan experience guests describe as exceptional — here is the complete honest picture.
From Al Haram Hotel to Dar Al Eiman — What Changed
This hotel previously operated as Al Haram Hotel Al Rawda. It now operates as Dar Al Eiman Al Haram Hotel. The building, address, and location are unchanged. What has changed: the 606 rooms, along with the public areas and restaurants, have been newly renovated to provide guests with all the comfort they need during their visit to the Prophet’s Mosque.
Location — Prime Position for Female Pilgrims
Dar Al Eiman Al Haram is a hotel located in the northern area, just a few steps from the main gate of Al Haram — a prime location near the main ladies’ entrance.
Bilal Ibn Rabah Mosque is just 50 metres away, and Bab Al Salam is a stone’s throw from the hotel. The hotel sits right behind the Oberoi — guests describe it as a 2-minute walk to the mosque courtyard with the ladies’ gate coming first.
Al-Baqi Cemetery is 0.8km away. The airport is 13km — approximately 16 minutes drive. The surrounding area has cafeterias, restaurants, and shops within very short walking distance.
Couples rate the location 9.4 out of 10 — and the hotel is ranked number 10 of 253 hotels in all of Madinah on TripAdvisor.
Rooms — 606 Newly Renovated
The spacious, air-conditioned rooms are decorated with warm tones and equipped with satellite TV and a minibar. Some rooms include a separate bedroom, a living area, and a small kitchenette for added convenience.
All rooms include free WiFi, refrigerator, electric kettle, free toiletries, daily housekeeping, and 24-hour room service. Prayer mats and Qibla direction markers are placed in every room.
Select rooms have direct views of Masjid Nabawi — always request these at booking stage. The spiritual impact of seeing the Prophet’s Mosque from your window is one of the defining experiences of an Umrah stay.
Wheelchair accessible rooms cover 25 square metres with two spacious twin beds at accessible height, providing wide spaces around them for smooth wheelchair movement.
Honest note on triple and quad rooms: triple and quadruple rooms are originally double rooms with one or two additional beds varying in size. The room itself does not expand — only beds are added. Families should confirm the actual dimensions before booking.
Dining — Including an Indonesian Restaurant
The hotel offers a wide variety of food from international and Far East cuisines. Three restaurants are on site including an Indonesian restaurant — one of very few dedicated Indonesian dining options I have found in any Madinah hotel review.
Breakfast runs from 7:30am to 9:30am — a notably narrow window. Pilgrims returning from Fajr at 5am have a 2.5-hour wait before breakfast opens. Plan this into your group itinerary. A ground floor coffee shop is available for early morning beverages. 24-hour room service covers off-hours dining needs.
During Ramadan, Suhoor replaces breakfast and Iftar replaces dinner.
The Ramadan Experience — A Genuine Strength
The Suhoor experience at Dar Al Eiman Al Haram is specifically and consistently praised across guest reviews. One guest described the Ramadan atmosphere as calm and welcoming, with supervisor Tosif’s professionalism and kindness truly standing out — going above and beyond to make sure everything was easy and comfortable during the busiest time of year.
Another guest said: ‘Amidst the Ramadan crowd and chaos, it is such a relief to escape to Dar Al Eiman to take a much needed breath, relax, and know that we will be taken care of.’
For agencies building Ramadan Umrah packages, this hotel consistently delivers on the spiritual and logistical demands of the holy month.
Honest Pros and Cons
Pros: Steps from main ladies’ entrance of Masjid Nabawi, 606 rooms newly renovated, ranked #10 of 253 hotels in Madinah, Haram view rooms available, beautiful intricate Islamic architecture, Indonesian restaurant on site, exceptional Ramadan Suhoor experience, wheelchair accessible rooms, rated 9.4/10 for couples.
Cons: Star rating varies — some guests say finishes feel 3 to 4-star despite 5-star marketing, 6 lifts for 606 rooms can be congested, triple/quad rooms are standard rooms with extra beds added, breakfast window only 7:30–9:30am, housekeeping inconsistency in some reviews, front desk attitude issues in certain reviews.
Who Should Book?
Dar Al Eiman Al Haram is ideal for female pilgrims needing the shortest walk to the ladies’ entrance, families of all sizes, Ramadan Umrah groups, couples seeking proximity and quality, diverse pilgrim groups who appreciate Far East cuisine options, and agencies managing large group bookings requiring significant room capacity.
Verdict
Dar Al Eiman Al Haram earns its #10 TripAdvisor ranking. The location for female pilgrims is exceptional. The renovation is fresh. The Ramadan experience is one of the best in Madinah. Request a Haram view room, confirm triple/quad room sizes, and plan around the breakfast window — and this hotel will deliver a memorable Umrah stay.
