Hotels Near Saeed Ibn AlAas Historical Palace in Medina

We stayed at Saja Al Madinah during our stay in Medina. There seems to be a mixture of reviews here so please take my feedback as a pinch of salt. We had booked a room for 5 adults and the room was spacious and wasn't cramped. The hotel location is very good and is close walking distance to the prophet's mosque. We found the rooms to be clean and tidy, what i loved about the room were the curtains which completely block out the sunlight. You wont have the slightest clue what time it is if the curtains are drawn. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and didn't experience any issues. Check in was swift. The only negative feedback i have is that the hotel was slightly pricey..

We chose this hotel as it is classed as a 4 star hotel and it is very close to the haram (5 minute walk from gate 7 and Al Salam gate bus stop). Unfortunately, the service isn't amazing, especially the cleanliness and standards. When we first checked in, everything was nice and tidy. However, in our 4 days stay, not a single member of staff came to clean the bathroom or take out the rubbish. We had to continuously call housekeeping for this to be done and even then the bathroom had not been cleaned. Other than this, the best thing about the hotel is that it is very close to the main road where taxis are easily available as well as buses and walking distance to the haram.

Best of the best! Super clean room and extremely comfortable. Feels like home. Superb Location just next to the main gate of Masjidil Nabawi. Buffet breakfast was great and plenty of choices. Highly recommended

This is an astonishing hotel. The food cooked by chef zanati is fabulous. It is quite a convenient hotel because it is quite close to the blessed masjid Al nabawi. The room service is really good at they fulfill your requirements. I would 100% recommend this hotel. If I am ever in medina again I would love to come here

The hotel was beautiful, from entrance to lobby to room. It was 14 mins walk from hotel to Masjid e Nabwi. The service was great. There was a bell captain Sezzat, especially he was very good in service even he arrange ziyarat for us with a good driver and help us to chose the room with better view. He was very active and energetic more than his job he was doing. If you'll find him take his hospitality you'll love it. Highly recommended!!!

One of the worst. Hygiene 0% , rooms upon check in was really not cleaned( example: there was hair on the bed, bathroom shower area had a blob of hair, W.C. not very clean) basically the entire room was not clean. Oh not to forget my friends room had a rotten apple behide a stand. And there is no Houskeeping staff to clean the room on daily basis. Next worst thing all equitments in the rooms is just for display. There is a telephone but not plugged, there is TV but no remote, wardrobe only 1 side is opening, the safe box is there but not working and i can go on. I understand this is not a 5 star hotel. But basic hygiene standard is not there 🙄 . Please do not book here. I stayed here because I had no choice and the other hotels were booked. Oh and 1 last thing, we did go to complain once but the security guy said there is no manager and he is the only one there( FYI that's in late night) being understanding we expected someone to come but no one came in our 2 night stay here. No one really cares, this hotel caters for group where no one has a choice in what hotel they are put into. Even when I checked the trip advisor now no comments from the hotel for the bad review, which only can mean they do not simply care (because its close masjid Nabawi that's their only advantage) If anyone is to book this hotel, I advice not to.

Easy and thankfully an early check-in, which gave us much needed time to go visit Haram and attend to prayers. I had a 2 bedroom overlooking the haram on one of the higher floors, and it was special. Rooms are generous in size, well appointed with amenities, and 2 baths, which is great when you have teenagers who also need their own space. The hotel was conveniently located to Gate 36 of the mosque (about 8 min walk from door to door) and better for men than women who had to walk a bit further to their entrance. Apparently, the hotel offers shuttle services as well, but we didn't need to utilize it. With government requirements and regulations opening the time we got there, it was getting busier and can only imagine how packed it would be at full swing. Lots of groups and tour buses can be rather overwhelming to get lifts/elevators at times. Plus, with so many nationalities and languages, it was a real treat to try and communicate, so always be patient and have an open mind. Easy to order Uber services or taxi from front of hotel. Starbucks for coffee lovers are also available at lobby. Food/breakfast service was fresh and varied, and we never had issues with the service or the quality. Only issue came into play when I was overcharged at checkin for the room and although I caught it a few hours later and brought it to receptions attention, it took an agonzing number of follow ups and empty promises before it was rectified at checkout. Even then, it was like pulling teeth and nearly made us late for our departure. Although the hotel team tried to be helpful, just bear in mind that the concept of speed and efficiency is not the same as in NAmerica. Overall, I would still recommend this hotel, even as an AllAccor member. I personally wasn't offered any additional benefits which in the grand scheme would not really have made a difference given that we were visiting one of the best places on earth!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at New Madinah Hotel, and I must say it was a fantastic experience! The hotel's location is a major highlight, as it is conveniently situated near Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi, making it incredibly convenient for those looking to visit and pray at the mosque. The rooms at New Madinah Hotel were comfortable and well-maintained, providing a relaxing space to unwind after a day of exploration. The staff were friendly and accommodating, always ensuring that I had everything I needed for a pleasant stay. While the hotel already offers a lot, one suggestion I have is for them to consider renewing the furniture. Although it was still functional, updating the furniture would further enhance the overall comfort and aesthetics of the rooms. All in all, I highly recommend New Madinah Hotel for anyone visiting the area, especially for its convenient location near Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi. 😊🕌” ,

When we entered the room the carpet was wet and the toilet floor is mouldy. Not very clean, no hair dryer but other amenities are acceptable. The hotel is located about 1km from Masjid AnNabawi but hotel provided free shuttle bus to and from Masjid every prayer, first come first serve basis. Shuttle will move at least 30 minutes before and after prayer. Have to pay for the hotel room during check in so prepare some cash or credit card. There are some convenient stores near in the hotel.

we went there during Ramadan and i know people will say the spiritual experience is more important but this is something i know i have to highlight as a warning to other pilgrims we were a party of 15 adults and kids arrived late at night we had booked 3 rooms when the receptionist and the porter said we could view the rooms first never done this in my life we went to see our room it was horrible so the porter offered us a different room not a upgrade as they are roughly all the same came down to reception the price had now gone up by over £150 to what we had booked on Booking .com which my wife queried so after a lot of arguing and another change of room we got the booked price the hotel is not nice needs a major refurbishment bathrooms have showers literally next to the toilet not a pleasant experience so watch out for price increases to what you book on plus untidy look
