Liked: Staff & service
Conveniently located but really needs to be cleaned. The bathrooms need to be worked on.
Lovely hotel, check in and out was extremely smooth. The breakfast and restaurants were excellent. Hotel staff we very friendly and helpful, I enjoyed my staff and will be using this hotel if I visit again.
A true 5* hotel - very friendly service. Peaceful stay. Excellent location - ~5min walk to Nabawi. Good amenities nearby. Refreshment drinks served after dhuhr. Strongly recommend - hard to not go back to this hotel.
Very old dated hotel. Broken old furniture, super tight rooms. Small windows. Shower didnt have curtain or door making bathroom wet every shower. It feels like a 1 star hotel. Only good thing was the location and distance to Rawda
The property was very nice and clean. A special thank you to the following members. Ahmed at reception, Aladin at the restaurant for Breakfast & Dinner were exceptional. Their service was extra ordinary.
