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.
