Location and Ratings

Booking.com rating of 8.8/10 from 1,751+ verified reviews. Couples location rating of 9.4/10. Ranked #60 of 250 hotels in Madinah. Airport is 8.1 miles away — airport shuttle is available.

The 8 Lifts — A Defining Operational Advantage
The spacious main lobby features 8 lifts for guest convenience. Guests specifically praise this in reviews — no waiting even during peak prayer times. In a city where 3 or 4 lifts on a 13+ floor building creates 15-minute wait times at adhan, 8 lifts at 170 metres from the Haram is a meaningful quality-of-life advantage that directly affects the daily Umrah experience.
Rooms
Classic rooms feature chic carpeted floors, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV. Rooms come with a mini-bar and direct telephone. Each has a private bathroom with a hairdryer and selected shower products. Free WiFi throughout. Electric kettle, safety deposit box, work desk, and slippers in every room. Room types include standard, deluxe double (30 sqm), triple, quadruple, and suites. Haram view and city view rooms available — always request Haram view at booking.
Honest notes: some 3-bed room configurations leave limited floor space for prayer — consider booking a 2-bed room and requesting an extra bed for 3 guests. Some bathroom designs led to overflow in specific rooms — report immediately.
Two Restaurants With Masjid Nabawi Views
Guests can enjoy views of Al Masjed Al Nabawi from the property’s two restaurants. Buffet breakfast opens at 6am daily — earlier than almost any hotel reviewed in this series, allowing pilgrims to eat immediately after returning from Fajr. Breakfast is consistently described as exceptional — one guest rated it 10 out of 10.
The ground floor coffee shop is served by Anwar Abdallah, whose Arabian coffee is specifically and warmly named by guests across multiple reviews. Room service is available throughout the day.
Staff
Mizanur from housekeeping is praised across multiple reviews for keeping rooms immaculate and well-stocked daily. Anwar Abdallah at the coffee shop is named for Arabian coffee that enhanced the entire stay atmosphere. Abdul Rehman the duty manager is described as exceptional at professionally and genuinely resolving guest needs.
