The hotel has a superb location, just opposite Masjid E Nabwi, making it very convenient for prayer. The rooms were very nice and comfortable, although I encountered a problem getting locked inside once. The service was a mix - very courteous but disappointingly carefree at midnight. The dining options offered basic choices with some items in the room not ordered. The hotel facilities were standard.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Haram area, making it ideal for families who prioritize easy access for prayers. While the rooms were spacious and could accommodate a large group, they were in poor condition with broken furniture and unhygienic surroundings. The service was a mix of wonderful, especially from Abdelilah Khattab, and rude encounters. The dining experience varied, with regular eastern food being a highlight while other meals disappointed. The hotel's location near Al Masjid Al Nabawi was a major plus, but improvements are needed in room upkeep and staff friendliness.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was exceptional, being very close to Masjid Nabawi's gates, and the polite service from Mr Ibrahim stood out, the room conditions were disappointing and the dining experience fell short of expectations.

The service was a mix of negatives and positives. While the receptionist provided useful information and quick check-in, overall support was lacking. Mr Ibrahim's hospitality was a standout, but lacking basic items like extra lamps was inconvenient.

The location was superb, less than a 3-minute walk to Masjid Nabawi's gates and right in front of the distribution point for Zam Zam water. However, it was noted to be a bit far from the park near Haram.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. Despite the initial room conditions being subpar and unhygienic, we were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade that the kids loved due to the interconnectivity. The staff, however, seemed rude and the furniture was in poor quality. The location was excellent near the Women's Entrance and the Haram, but parking was a bit tricky. The dining options were varied but not up to the standards expected.

My stay at the hotel was mixed. The location is fantastic, right near the Haram with easy access, but the delay in room availability and room smell took away from the experience.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and very close to the holy mosque, which was a big plus. However, they were dusty, with bathrooms that were not clean, a broken shower head, and noisy A/C all night. The service, particularly the reception staff, was excellent but some employees need to work on their manners and English skills. The location was fantastic, just a 3-minute walk from the Holy Masjid, but the rooms seemed a bit outdated. The dining experience was decent but could use some improvement in terms of variety. Overall, a mixed experience with some great aspects and some room for enhancement.

My stay at this hotel was quite mixed. The rooms, though spacious and well-arranged, lacked essential amenities like toiletry kits, which was a letdown. However, staying in their 5-bedroom suite was a pleasant experience overall. While the service was exemplary from the friendly and efficient staff, the inconsistency in room conditions was a downside. The location, being close to Masjid Nabawi's gates and the women's Mosque entrance, was extremely convenient, but the dining options left something to be desired.

The hotel seemed to be the oldest building among the hotels in the area, but the breakfast was good with regular Eastern food. The reception staff weren't friendly, and there were no good toilet facilities. However, the interconnecting rooms provided to us were better than our original booking, which the children liked, making the stay very comfortable.
