Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers very spacious rooms and a great breakfast buffet. However, cleanliness could be improved, and the room size was smaller than expected for three people, despite an 8.1 rating overall. The cozy rooms are a bit tiny but sufficient for temporary stays.
The hotel is conveniently located near Masjid Nabvi and offers a nice breakfast. The rooms, though small, can be upgraded to an executive suite upon request. Service is well-organized, but there may be delays in room maintenance after a few days. The dining options are delicious but a bit pricey for daily meals.
Upon arrival, I found the rooms to be adequately equipped but not thoroughly clean. While they were comfortable, they were smaller than expected, with tiny bathrooms that lacked cleanliness. Unfortunately, the staff was not very helpful and even showed reluctance in accommodating a simple request for a two-hour extension. On the bright side, the hotel's proximity to Haram and nearby shops was convenient.
The hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Haram Gate No. The quad suites are very spacious, and the breakfast buffet is great. However, it is a bit far to reach the women's praying area and the restaurant only offers meals for breakfast.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, but there are some issues with the compact layout and shared toilet arrangement. The service is friendly but could benefit from additional training. The location is beautiful but needs some renovations, especially for guests visiting Haram. The dining experience is excellent but expensive for daily meals.
I was initially shown a few standard rooms, which were not up to my expectations, but after expressing my dissatisfaction, I was graciously upgraded to the executive suite, which was spacious and well-equipped. The room rates appeared to be on the higher side, but the amenities provided were adequate.
The hotel rooms were small and not very comfortable, with no parking available and unreliable WiFi. However, the staff was professional and suitable for a small family or bachelor group of 4. The stay was quiet, comfortable, and clean, ensuring we had quality sleep.
The hotel is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the Haram with nearby shops, but the rooms are extremely small and lack basic amenities. The staff can be unhelpful, especially with requests for late check-out, but the proximity to the holy sites is a plus.
The hotel is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from Haram with shops nearby. The rooms are too small for two people, and the bathroom is cramped and not very clean. The staff was unhelpful in extending my stay by just a couple of hours, insisting on an additional payment. The only positive is the proximity to Haram and shops around the area.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, not too far from the Haram and easily approachable. The rooms, however, were not up to standard as they had a heavy smell and a terribly dirty floor with stains. The service was friendly but had some delays, and the dining options were limited due to fewer guests. On the positive side, the hotel was within walking distance from Al Masjid Al Nabawy making it a good choice for certain visitors.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small, not clean, and had blocked bathrooms, but I was eventually upgraded to the executive suite. However, the compact space made it difficult to move around with luggage. The service was outstanding, especially thanks to Mr Abu Bakr, who was very cooperative, allowing me an early check-in and making my stay smooth. The location, although close to Haram, could be a bit confusing at times. The dining options were limited, and the breakfast wasn't anything special.
The hotel's rooms are cute and cozy, albeit a bit tiny, suitable for a temporary stay. The service provided was very good and friendly, adding to a pleasant overall experience. The location is beautiful but may require some renovation. The dining experience, although good, could use some improvements. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.
