Very nice looking hotel room service beautiful place
Very nice lodging hotel, but treat everyone national equally and not what they have paid for. It is what you negotiated.
I saw a lot of negative reviews. So let me tell ya’all something. This is a cheap hotel. And for its price, it is definitely worth it. Rooms are clean, AC id very cold, Wifi is fast, TV works and the best part, only 5 mins to masjid nabavi. In Gmaps, it is shown 10mins but that is not true. Only 5mins to haram. Talking about the disadvantages, the rooms are small and the parking can be an issue. Other than that, im very satisfied with this hotel
It was nice and clean. They emptied the bin everyday. Toilets are a little small. Ac working fine. The best thing is distance from the masjid nabawi.
My double room was clean, but so very narrow that you can't stand in it. However, WIFI was great and personally distributed to every room with its own users, so that you have a good and stable connection
I was here last June.. their staff are very friendly.. and I really like the location of the hotel becouse near from masjid nabawi and gamama.. and behind the hotel you can fine street to go to Kuba masjid.. just walking.. is really have beautiful view during you walk
We were placed here as part of the Indonesian hajj group, our assigned room is a 3 bed room, it's a bit small but we were able to utilize the space under our beds to stow away our luggage. We stay for a week, during which the room was vacuumed once, the trash bins are cleaned up every 2 days, while the toilet was cleaned once. Overall the hotel fits our needs and the location is great, only 5 minutes walk to Masjid Nabawi.
Room was clean, toilet too. Covers and beds smell good. AC works great. Wifi and data service reach the rooms. View is also great. The reception might not look the best but that’s beside the point..
