We wanted to leave an honest and detailed review of our stay, especially because we almost didn’t book this hotel due to some negative comments about the area and check-in. Our experience, however, was completely smooth and positive from start to finish.
Location:
The location worked perfectly for us. The hotel is within walking distance to the prophet’s mosque. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the Quba Front entrance which is full of discounted shopping. From there, it’s roughly a 10 minute walk north to Masjid An-Nabawi or 35 minutes south to Masjid Quba if you enjoy a longer walk.
The hotel sits in a residential area, which some reviewers labeled as “sketchy,” but honestly you’re in Madina, the city of the Prophet SAW. Not everything needs to be modern or luxurious to be appreciated. We found the area calm and authentic.
Transportation / Finding the Hotel:
Some people mentioned that their taxi drivers had trouble finding the place, but both of our drivers found it with no problem at all. You can easily search the hotel name on Google, and it appears clearly with the correct address on Google Maps.
My only suggestion to the hotel would be to install a visible sign on the window or building with the name of the hotel.
Staff are very helpful. They sent detailed check in instructions for self check in and it was super easy and smooth. Elevators fast and clean. Room super clean and updated renovated. Staff were very helpful and responsive.
