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% !!!

Could do better
Food was excellent as was location. Waiters were mixed some good some not so good. Often long wait for cutlery or drinks. The rooms were not as clean as they could be and we had cooking smells in our suite from the restaurant. No plugs by bed for my medical equipment. The rooms are look a bit old and worn.
