Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were in excellent condition with all amenities, and there was nothing to complain about, though it took some time for them to be ready. The service was extremely quick to respond to our needs, even though the materials used weren't the best for cleaning. The location is excellent, especially for families and those visiting the holy mosque, with direct access to the Haram. The dining experience, while offering a nice view, fell short in cleanliness and furniture quality for the high room rates. The hotel facilities were convenient, and the value for money was decent.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was lovely and had extra amenities that were very convenient. However, there was a slight delay during check-in. The staff was friendly and always willing to help, but there was a bit of a pushy incident that was a downside. The location was excellent, especially for those visiting the Haram. The dining experience was mediocre, but the facilities were satisfactory.
Upon arrival, I found that the rooms were not ready, lacked basic amenities like water and coffee, and even the minibar was empty, despite my request for a non-smoking room. The room size was surprisingly small for a five-star hotel with such high rates, but it was equipped for a long stay.
The hotel provided a spacious and peaceful stay thanks to Dar Ul Taqwa. The rooms were quiet and peaceful, offering a special experience. The service was very friendly and helpful, especially from Salwa. The location was perfect, being the nearest to the Ladies main entrance to the Holy Mosque. The dining experience met expectations, offering a variety of options. Overall, Dar Ul Taqwa offered a tranquil and convenient stay near the Holy Mosque.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located near the Mosque, making it ideal for families. However, the service was a bit lacking, and the dining experience left much to be desired. The rooms, though small, were adequate for a short stay and offered a reasonable value for the price.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that are not the best in terms of cleanliness but provide a view of the Haram. The location is excellent for visiting the Haram and offers a quick and diverse in-room breakfast service. However, the service lacks manners and can be exploitative, making arrangements without consent and asking for additional payments.
The hotel rooms were small, crowded, not ready, and not clean; however, they offered a view of the Masjid, even though it was somewhat obstructed by grills. The service was lacking in customer care but did include some complimentary services. The location was incredibly close to important sites in Madina, though there were challenges with Wi-Fi. The dining experience had some variety but needed improvement.
The hotel had a fantastic location near the central Madinah, very close to the women's entrance of the mosque. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were extremely quick to respond to our needs, especially at the front desk. Despite some noise from staff movements outside, and disappointing dining options given the pricey rooms, the value for money was evident being so near to the various essentials and gates for women. I thank the Duty Manager Osama and all supporting staff for their cooperation. The presence of multiple things close by was a major plus, although noise could be an issue and breakfast could have been more varied.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, making it a comfortable stay. The service was a mix of basic training needs and genuine helpfulness from staff. The location is a major strength for Muslims near Masjid Al Nabawi in Maddina, while dining could use more variety in the menu. The facilities are average, with room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel has a great location, very near to Masjid Al Nabawi and close to the ladies entrance to Prophet's grave visit. The rooms, although smaller than expected, were very clean and comfortable. The service staff were cheerful and helpful, but sometimes seemed more interested in chatting with each other. The dining experience was a disappointment with poor service and food selections. Despite some downsides, the proximity to the sacred sites is a major plus for Muslim travelers.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were in excellent condition with all amenities, but mine wasn't ready when I checked in. The service was really good overall, but I encountered a pushy staff member during my stay. The location was great, especially for easy access to the Prophets Mosque, but there were some issues with the dining options.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room, although not fully ready initially, was equipped for a long stay, which was convenient. Breakfast was included in our booking. The service provided was supportive, and they were accommodating, helpful, and friendly. The hotel's location, right next to the Masjid entrance, was ideal, especially for families. The dining experience offered a variety of good food choices. However, the pricing could be more competitive.
