The lobby was small and unimpressive. The room was lovely and had excellent toiletries. The breakfast was disappointing. Lots of variety which gives the impression it is plentiful. However the meat pastries were refrigerator cold. No fresh juices, quantity, no quality. Rooms were clean. Staff lovely

Nice sized bathroom but the bedroom was extremely cramped. Also the duvet was far too warm and pillows excessively large. Didn't get even 1 night of good sleep. Toilet flush didn't work and half the time poops were floating around. Ewwww. Towel rail and toilet seat was lose. Toilet seat was not even soft close. Lobby didn't feel like a 5 star hotel. Staff are very helpful and accommodating but didn't bother raising all these issues. Food was excellent. 5 star food but physical hotel itself was more like a 20 year old 3 or 4 star. Some finishings and furniture were quite worn out and old looking.

I’ve stayed at this hotel several times now, and the biggest advantage continues to be the location. It’s only a few steps from Masjid Nabawi and very close to the women’s entrance, which makes everything so convenient, especially during busy hours. The rooms are clean, the staff is courteous, and overall the service feels warm. The breakfast team was especially kind and attentive. I forgot the name of the gentleman helping us every morning, but he genuinely made the experience better with how accommodating he was. The front desk staff was polite as well. Breakfast itself was good; it could be improved a little, but overall it was enjoyable. The one major issue I’ve had, both during this stay and my previous stay, is the AC in the room. It seems to stay on all day yet never actually cools the room. Maintenance did come and try to fix it, but unfortunately it still didn’t work properly. For the price I paid and the standard this hotel aims for, this is something that really needs to be addressed. Everything else was great, but the AC problem is the main reason I can’t give a higher rating until it’s resolved.

Expedia's flight bookings are not secure. My booking got cancelled without notification. I was devastated at the airport to know i am unable to get on to the flight and missing out on my spiritual trip. Expedia didnt respond professional and wasnt accountable for all the damaged caused. They didnt refund my ticket or the hotel stay of or offered a credit note for future trip. Terrible decision is to book through expedia.
