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

Amazing location
We arrived 4 hours before check in and we were given a room within a few mins with no fuss. Room was a suite - perfect for our family of 4. Room had everything we needed, free complimentary minibar which was refuelled daily. Room service and cleaning was on point and the reception staff whenever required fulfilled all requests. Breakfast was brilliant with plenty of selection and amazing views of the mosque of the prophet from one side. Location is the best thing - literally on the courtyard of the mosque with amenities and shops available in all directions. Would I reccomend? 1000% would i stay again? 1000000% !!!
