Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great location, close to the main gate of Haram and just steps away from the Mosque. The rooms, although a bit small, were clean and comfortable with free WiFi. However, some aspects like non-responsiveness were noticed. The dining experience was good but charged for basic amenities like plates. The location is convenient for religious sites and close to the Mosque of the Prophet.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives in my experience. The rooms were extra dirty, with dusty carpets and a dirty bathroom; however, the facilities were good despite the noisy air conditioner. The service was quick and friendly, but the noise level was a downside. The location was convenient, close to key areas, but the noise could be bothersome. The dining options were good but a bit pricey, with charges for basic items. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The extremely spacious 2-bedroom apartment with a kitchen after Eid prayers was convenient, but not being considered for credit during a medical emergency was disappointing. The service was friendly overall, especially from the helpful housekeeping staff. The location, minutes from Masjid-e-Nabwi, was excellent, but the additional charges for basic items in the rooms were a letdown.
The hotel is ideally located close to the holy mosque, with a convenient entrance and helpful service. The dining experience was lacking variety and overpriced for basic amenities. Despite these drawbacks, the clean and spacious deluxe room was not ready at check-in, affecting the overall experience.
The hotel's room was noisy with the air conditioner making noise and in serious need of cleaning. There were no toiletries, slippers, or complimentary water provided. On the positive side, the hotel staff was very friendly and courteous, despite needing improvement in their customer service level. The location is superb, on the main road to the Masjed entrance, making it very convenient for visitors. The dining experience was good, but varied choices and coffee options would have been appreciated. Guests were charged for every additional service, even for something as simple as providing plates, which some found unreasonable. However, the overall dining experience was satisfactory.
The hotel's location is superb, just 5 minutes' walk to the Haram and surrounded by dining options. The rooms were a bit dated but convenient with 4 bedrooms. The service was exceptional with friendly and accommodating staff who went above and beyond. The dining experience varied from low-quality to the best breakfast ever. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel is wonderfully located just minutes away from the mosque, offering a variety of dining options nearby. The service provided was excellent, especially from the helpful staff. However, the rooms were not as isolated for a peaceful night's sleep and were not all ready by check-in time. The included breakfast was a nice bonus for our stay.
The hotel is a good choice; the rooms are clean and tidy but lack visible power outlets. The service is a mix, with poor communication from some staff but excellent hospitality from others. The convenient location is a big plus, being close to key attractions. The dining experience is okay but leans towards being expensive. Overall, a decent option for a stay.
My stay at the hotel was lovely. The location was perfect, close to the Sisters doors access to the Haram with calm surroundings and a very courteous staff. The royal suite was spacious and well-equipped, providing a near-perfect experience. The dining options were decent but could use some improvement.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms but may feel tight. The service stands out for being exceptionally helpful and friendly, although the refurbishing cycle was not clear. The location is convenient for those visiting the Masjid un Nabawi but may be a bit far for some. The dining experience needs improvement and could offer more variety. Overall, a good choice for short stays.
The hotel is conveniently located near Masjid Nabawi with friendly staff. The rooms were neat and tidy, although some essential amenities were missing. Service was generally good but a bit slow at times. Dining was satisfactory with clean tables and a free room upgrade. The location was excellent for mosque access and nearby dining options.
The hotel location is very close to Masjid Nabwi, making it convenient for prayers. Breakfast was awesome, although the room we were initially given was small and had issues with the door lock. Despite these challenges, the royal suite on the 12th floor was eventually prepared.
