The hotel is located yards away from the Masjid which is incredible. The staff and service were good. Good selection of food options (breakfast and dinner) as we went for half board. However, the property is in a bad state and cleanliness was very poor. During our 2nd night the whole curtains railing fell down, however this was promptly fixed. Basic amenities like shower gel and lotions were empty, towels limited, floors creaking and housekeeping looked like they just did up the bed. Very busy and noisy hotel.

The hotel excelled in everything. However, management should note that their clients come from all over the world. They need to ensure the hotel has the flexibility to accommodate early arrivals, even if they arrive before the check-in time.

Everything was beyond 10/10. All staff were friendly, helpful and very decent. Housekeeping, concierge and restaurant staff were always smiling and always keen to help. Check in and check out were very smooth thanks to the reception. Breakfast buffet had a variety of cuisines and food, everything was fresh, we didn’t try anything that we didn’t like. Proximity to the King Fahd gate and also ladies prayer entrance was very convenient. Also Taiba shopping center and a bunch of stores all around that makes the location perfect. Insha’Allah we would stay there again and again.

Best Option for Stay in Medina
It is the best experience so far with any hotel. Sofitel raises the bar for what excellence in service looks like. From the time you walk in till the time you leave. The staff is amazing always with a smile. Their buffet breakfast, lunch, or dinner are worth trying. plenty of options for hot or cold and sweets just not only look amazing but taste great. The floor staff was amazing. and surprisingly anyone you talk with knows exactly what you are looking for and how to respond. The best thing is it's just steps away from the Masjid. I would love to come back and stay a little longer
