This hotel was our accommodation (Maktab 87) while we were in Madinah during the 2017 Hajj Season.

The hotel was recognised as the largest hotel in Madinah, featuring 1,207 rooms and suites. It was the closest property to the Ladies' Prayer Entrance of the Prophet's Mosque, making it a preferred choise for famiies and female travelers. It was highly regarded for its proximity to Masjid Al Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque).

Directly linked to a shopping mall in the center of the commercial district, providing immediate access to retail and dining. 

It offered a vast selection of rooms, including Classic, Executive and various luxury suites like the Ambassador and Royal Suites. Restaurants available offering a mix of International, traditional Saudi and Asian cuisines. 

The hotel was built in 2003 and underwent a significant renovation in 2008.
