"Excellent Stay & Great Service We had an excellent stay! The staff were wonderful, very helpful, and kindly provided a late check-out due to our late flight. The hotel is only a 5–7 minute walk from Masjid an-Nabawi, Gate 28, with plenty of restaurants right at the doorstep. The breakfast little expensive. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and the nearby shops offered excellent-quality dates at great prices. Everything was excellent, and I would definitely stay here again!"

"Everything else was ok except: no room service available (after spending all day in Masjid e Nabwi, you are tired but there is no food delivery in your room), bathroom size is smaller (if you are overweight with belly hanging in front of you, you cannot turn around inside shower cabin so be prepared), and lastly, because of “environment protection” and to preserve water, the hotel is using shower-type flow in the water faucett in the bathroom sink. This means 10 min shave and 5 min teeth-brushing will taken double the usual time."
