Manazil Al Mukhtara Hotels in Medina

Friendly staff. Decent hotel. Breakfast is pretty good with decent options. Very close to the Masjid un Nabawi. It is about 6 to 8 minutes walk from the Haram.

I stayed at Odst Al Madinah Hotel from April 7 to April 10, 2025, and paid 1,078 AED for three nights, booked online through Trip.com. For the location, the price is quite affordable — still not super cheap, but definitely worth it for what you get. I booked it just one day before arriving, and it was one of the cheapest options available in that area at the time. I paid online, and there was no extra deposit required, which made the whole check-in process really smooth. When I arrived, there was a long queue at reception, but one of the staff members noticed and opened a new counter, calling me over and helping me check in quickly. That made a good first impression. The staff were generally kind and helpful, except for one staff member at the small bakery shop in the lobby — he seemed to be always in a hurry and a bit rude, but it wasn’t a big issue. The location is definitely one of the best things about this hotel. It’s around a 10-minute walk to Masjid Nabawi, or even less if you walk fast. The hotel is located near Fahad Road, where you’ll find the Madinah Frame and many well-known hotels. It’s also near the main entrance of the mosque, so if you’re walking with women, it’s very convenient — you can enter directly without needing to take the long detour to the women’s gate. The surrounding area is vibrant and full of life, with shops, groceries, shopping centers, and a very spiritual atmosphere. During prayer times, it’s beautiful to walk together with crowds heading to the mosque. I didn’t book the room with breakfast, but the hotel does offer Indonesian food. If you’re in your room, you can dial 1518 to connect to the next hotel — I think it’s called Zowar Hotel — and place an order. I tried calling them a few times, but either no one picked up or they told me the kitchen was closed (probably because I called late at night), so I didn’t get to try their food. However, there’s a great nearby Indonesian restaurant called Sunda Restaurant that I recommend for anyone looking for familiar flavors. In the hotel lobby, there’s a small bakery-style shop that sells cakes, bread, coffee, and tea — convenient for a quick bite or drink, although the staff there weren’t the friendliest. The room itself was excellent — very clean, comfortable, with consistently hot water, and I had no issues with anything inside. However, the hallway outside the room was a bit noisy, so if you’re a light sleeper, that’s something to keep in mind. One thing to be aware of is that housekeeping tends to knock and open the door with their key if there’s no answer — this happened to me once, so I recommend always responding right away if someone knocks. In conclusion, I highly recommend Odst Al Madinah Hotel for those who want to stay close to Masjid Nabawi but are also looking for a budget-friendly option. It offers great value for its location, comfort, and service, especially compared to other hotels in the same area.

We have stayed 6 nights. It’s very close to Al Masjid an Nabawi. 3/4 minutes walk only. Hotel was clean & all services was amazing. I would like to book again if Allah SWT grants us to travel again here at Madinah.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, and overall, it was a memorable experience. The food was undoubtedly a highlight – each meal was crafted with care, offering a variety of delicious options that delighted the taste buds. The quality and presentation were impressive, making every dining experience a true treat. The room itself was comfortable and well-appointed, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. The decor was modern yet cozy, and every detail seemed thoughtfully chosen to enhance relaxation. I particularly appreciated the attention to cleanliness and the overall ambiance, which made it feel like a home away from home. That being said, the price was on the higher end, which is something to consider for those on a budget. While the experience was undoubtedly enjoyable, the premium cost may not be justifiable for everyone, depending on their expectations. In summary, this hotel offers an exceptional stay with great food and a pleasant atmosphere, though the price may be a consideration for some. If you’re looking for comfort and quality, and you’re willing to splurge a little, this could be the perfect spot for you.

Quite close to haram , specially on ladies side, the experience was very good

The service was good, but there was not enough toilet paper even though the room was for 3 people, and the check out time was not on time at all. We were told to check out early.
