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.

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.
