What guests think

At Faraj Almadina Hotel, guests commonly praise the welcoming staff and generally comfortable rooms, while noting the property sits away from the Prophet’s Mosque and that some aspects feel dated compared with more central options.

The shuttle to the Haram is widely appreciated but not 24/7, with gaps and timing reliability noted in several reviews. Bathroom maintenance and housekeeping consistency draw recurring complaints, including clogged toilets and weak or intermittent hot water. Breakfast feedback ranges from varied and tasty to limited or cold. Overall, this suits budget-minded travelers who prioritize shuttle access over walking distance.

Great place to stay in you’re in a budget, great stuff and helpful, clean rooms and comfortable beds, only reason I gave it 4 ⭐️ only it’s because the bus shuttle is not 24/7 otherwise loved my stay here.

Overall it was a complete package of top service, room size including and breakfast. Hotel is around 10min drive from Masjid e Nabawi by taxi costing 10-15 riyal. Hotel has its own very good shuttle service and drop you right inside the haram.... They were all amazing 👏

Not fare from Medina haram sharif,suttle service available but limited more gap time , but drop you at very close on the doorstep to Medina haram ,very convenient but after Maghreb don’t wait for long time so you miss the shuttle and wait till ISHA last shuttle 9.10 PM ,hotel should have every half hour but long gape time table shuttle.

Es gibt 1 Stern Abzug, die Reinigung der Zimmer erfolgte leider unvollständig, es werden Handtücher etc vergessen, deshalb nur 4 von 5. Rezeption ist super (5 Sterne ) geben ihr bestens, wenn das übrige Team (Küche und Reinigungspersonal) ebenfalls mehr Motivation zeigen würden, dann wären definitiv 5 Sterne möglich. Zum Frühstück, ihr müsst mehr auf Qualität achten, es muss nicht immer viel sein, manchmal ist weniger manchmal besser... ich weiß es ist schwer, verschiedene Nationalitäten unter ein Dach zu bekommen... aber für alles gibt es eine Lösung. Diesbezüglich hätte ich da eventuell einige Verbesserungsvorschläge Liebe Grüße und Viel Erfolg

The ‘24/7’ shuttle bus is disgusting, unclean no ac. Imagine 40°c+ with no ac, literal torture. Dont go and spend a little more money. Jzk

Along with the cozy bed and soothing shower with exceptional doorbell service you couldnt ask for a better place to rest while visiting this cherished city. Not to mention a 5 star buffet if your hungry during Ramadan. Great Stay!

We will be definitely going back there if we are visiting Madina-Saudia Arabia.

Stayed there for 4 nights, hotel is far from the Prophet’s Mosque and their shuttle service was average. Room was average, no microwave, no iron with iron board and the refrigerator was really tiny. Bathroom was a real mess, its door wasn’t closing and the shower area didn’t have any curtain or cover to stop the shower water from coming out to the sink area. Breakfast was average as well, tasteless & cold and the staff in the breakfast area was weird & rude. Checking out was really disappointing, if your flight is late or for some reason you wanna checkout few hour late, they’ll charge you for the whole day and the amount would be doubled. They don’t care about your circumstances, all they care about is money. We’re definitely not going back to this hotel. At this price you can get better options near the mosque. The money you pay here isn’t worth it at all.

If you are visiting haram it is better to go to closer hotel, but if you need a nice stay in Medina for reason other than visiting haram it is nice place to stay. Breakfast was very good.
