My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was incredibly close to Al Masjid An Nabawi, which was perfect. While the rooms were very dated and in need of upgrading, the service was really professional and helpful. The dining options were good, but the restaurant tended to be crowded. Overall, it was a convenient choice with some room for improvement.

The hotel's location is perfect, just a step to the Haram, making it very convenient, especially for ladies. The rooms are wonderful and exceptionally good with kids, but could benefit from internationally compatible sockets. The service was outstanding and very friendly, although some might find waiting times a bit long. The dining experience was described as excellent with a wide variety of delicious options, although the capacity might be a concern during busy times.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although well-equipped with toiletries and towels, had some issues with water pooling on the floor that required requesting a wiper. The Madinah Tower part of the Mövenpick did not meet the standards of a 3-5 star hotel, with small rooms, congested bathroom facilities, and no iron services provided. On the bright side, the service from the cafe staff was friendly and helpful.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location was fantastic, being very close to Al Haram, the overall quality fell short of my expectations. The rooms felt outdated and more like a three-star accommodation rather than a luxurious five-star hotel. On the positive side, the staff was incredibly professional and helpful, but unfortunately, the service lacked the expected level of customer care. The dining options were not as varied as I had hoped for, and the prices were on the higher side. Despite these drawbacks, the convenience of the location was a significant plus point of my stay.

The hotel is conveniently located right in front of the mosque, overlooking the 'Haram. ' The rooms are clean and comfortable, but the furniture is a bit old, and some paintings had writings on them.
