In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Excellent location near the Prophet’s Mosque — Guests consistently highlight the short walk to the mosque, often just 3 minutes, and the convenience of nearby shops and eateries.
  • Spacious family rooms — The triple and quadruple rooms offer more space than typical for the area, making them a good fit for families.
  • Responsive and helpful staff — Minhaj and the rest of the team receive repeated commendations for their attentiveness, particularly with elderly guests and during check-in.
  • Practical in-room amenities — Rooms come with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, kettles, and some have fridges and satellite channels – more than expected at this price point.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic rooms with low ratings — Guest scores for rooms sit at 6.3 out of 10, indicating simple furnishings and dated decor. The hotel is a 1-star property, so expectations should be modest.
  • Check-in window starts late — Check-in is only available from 16:00, which could be inconvenient if you arrive earlier in the day.
  • No parking on site — The hotel does not list parking as an amenity, so guests arriving by car may need to find alternative options nearby.
  • Pets not allowed — If you’re travelling with an animal, this property won’t accommodate you.

“This is my go-to hotel in Medina. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom clean, and the room had satellite TV, a fridge and a stone fireplace. The location was great, next to a grocery shop and close to the centre, the local market and the Grand Mosque.”

“The area was full of great food options. The Pakistani and Indonesian restaurant on the mezzanine served tasty, cheap dishes – you can’t beat 10 SAR for chicken or mutton. The Wi-Fi was also very fast indoors.”
