2-Star Hotels in Al Madinah, Saudi Arabia

Super nice hotel with a comfortable atmosphere for relaxing Just next to the holy masjid e nabwi

It was confirmed when I checked in, and I had already paid. But when I checked out, I was asked to pay again. Of course, I showed the payment interface and the other party took a photo. But this experience is not very friendly. The driver of the golf cart around 7 am on June 3 was a black man. I wanted to say hello to him, but he was gloomy all the time and drove very fast. When we were about to drive to the lobby, we said we were going to the parking lot (of course I also said we were going to the parking lot when I got in the car), and he dropped us off and left very quickly. Very rude. I think we may have taken it too early and made his day unhappy!! But the driver on the way back was very friendly! Everything else was good. I hope these details are also worthy of your price.

The toilet room is quite small, but others than that everything is fine. The receptionist is helpful to help us book taxi to the haramain speed train at last minute. The staff there also helpful. Dobby service also good and satisfying. The only bad side is the location of hotel is really far away from masjid nabawi and all famous shopping mall or restaurants at Madinah. You need to walk more than 30 minutes to reach all the hot spot and it tiring! Not good for bring old parents.

Check-in was fast and efficient. The guy over at the counter was superb, friendly and welcoming. Well done to him. Room was big and was given a bigger room. Thank you so much. Very short walking distance to Masjid Nabawi. And there’s plenty of food options and shops right below the hotel. Very strategic hotel.

Service by every member of staff was superb. Prime location, extremely east access to Masjid Nabi. Chef Sheriff deserves special recognition for the delightful meals that he cooked, and taking care of our needs. Staying here is an experience you don't want to miss.

One of the best hotels near Masjid Al Nabawi! The staff are incredible! From the moment I arrived, Hassan from concierge assisted me with my bags and the staff at the reception were very friendly and they not only allowed me to check-in early but also upgraded my room with a partial Haram View! All the staff spoke English perfectly. The rooms are nice and spacious with modern furniture and the amenities provided in the room are perfect from bathrobes to multiple kits! The room was relatively clean however I’ve notice multiple finger prints on the refrigerator door as well as the bathroom door which shows those 2 areas weren’t wiped after the previous guests had left. The shower was perfect with nice hot water and the bathroom was spacious enough. The hotel has 2 towers and we didn’t know which tower to go to so we ended up going to tower 1 were the receptionist informed us that our booking is in tower 2. I had an elderly guest with me and moving towers like this was very inconvenient. The hotel should inform the guests about the tower number and parking instructions before arriving at the hotel. The hotel is very close to the Haram with just 6-7 minutes walk to both the men’s and the women’s entrance (door 11 and 12). Upon returning to the hotel, the staff were promptly situated outside the elevator doors assisting guests with the elevators. About the breakfast. It was fantastic! The options available were great and included selections of cold appetizers, bakery items, main courses including french toast and pancakes. The breakfast staff were very friendly and efficient and they never said no, especially Riaz he served us coffee and hot chocolate. The items were being refilled quickly. The 2 ladies welcomed us for breakfast with a huge smile. Suggestions to improve breakfast: 1) there was no live cooking counter for omelette. The omlette was being cooked in the kitchen and was being stocked in the hot plate. It would be great if the hotel could consider introducing live counter for omelette as it really would help us guests to make the perfect omelette for ourselves and eating it warm and fresh. Other hotels do have a live counter. 2) Though all the breakfast items were great, the French toast wasn’t good at all! It didn’t taste like a French toast. The sambosas were undercooked and very chewy so wasn’t able to eat them. Improvements on this will make the breakfast experience perfect! One more thing to add is that the staff not once said “No”. They always accommodated our requests whatsoever. I asked the reception for a plastic chair for my elderly mother to sit and take a shower, thought they didn’t have it, they offered us to switch to an accessible room with no additional costs! The hotel is not very busy and crowded as I didn’t see any groups here. I hope the hotel can maintain this very same standard or else it’ll be very easy to be like the other hotels who don’t care about guests. All in all, I’ll definitely choose Al Manakha Rotana again on my next trip to Madinah and wishing this hotel success!

Had a good experience. Would recommend esp for the elderly ladies since the ladies door for haram is just 3 mins walk away. Overall a nice experience in this hotel.

The hotel staff is great, I lost my key (card room) in Masjid Nabawi and they didnt even charge me with anything. We can also put the luggage after check out in the safe place. The building is older, but functional. We dont have to wait for the lift because there are 6 lifts for the building alone. I’m shocked that the shampoo and soap is from Brooklyn, which I’ve visited New York in May but no time to visit Apotheke 😩 Near gate of Masjid Nabawi from the hotel is 365. You can choose this hotel instead of Pullman Zamzam if you have strict budget like us. Because the location is not that far from gate 365. This gate is near Rawdah. Ps: I take this photo right before check out. Sorry for the mess

we stayed at this hotel on 25 January 2024 until 2 & February 2024. Me, my wife and my son. I was initially a bit skeptical about this hotel because this was the first time staying in the hotel area facing the Prophet's Mosque. previously, 3 times before, when visiting the Prophet's Mosque, we stayed in the hotel area at the back of the Mosque. *************, the best experience with the hotel, which for me is a strategic location near the entrance to the front of the mosque. besides that, there are many interesting places nearby such as places to eat in Shariq Qurban Qurban with many delicious restaurants . The location is also close to the Quba Mosque. You can take a Buggy or Uber to get there. We even walked to the Quba Mosque. for me, a new experience with the hotel, which is the hotel officer during the check-in process was very friendly and greeted us well and was very fluent in English. The room was also very clean. The room cleaning process was very satisfactory. Highly recommended for families for the Ellaf At-Taqwa Hotel.

Even though hotel is located around 12k from Masjid Nabwi but thier regular shuttle service with excellent timings for all the 5 prayers makes up fir the distance. The drop off point at Haram of the shuttle is under the haram floor so great service. Breakfast is OK, not of a 5 star standard though and replenishing is slower, needs improvement.
