a very luxurious hotel with free breakfast and a good view on the Masjid al haram,
WE all loved it very much and was very close to the gate also , there was a mall underneath for shopping , and my parents and us loved it very much the breakfast was very filling and mouth watering.

Excellent location near the green dome, friendly staff, efficient service. My second time at this hotel and I will definately stay again

Madinah Movenpick is a good hotel but not up to the standard expected from the Swiss brand. Anwar Movenpick (stayed less than a year ago) which is nearer to the Prophet"s mosque is a much better choice with higher standard and good value for money given the fact that both offer same price online (Hotel website). The rooms in Madinah Movenpick are spacious & reasonably clean but bathrooms are a bit small. Reception and restaurant staff speaks english which is a big pluspoint though we had problems communicating with Concierge & bell desk as no one speaks english there. We were on a half board plan (breakfast & lunch or dinner) and the buffet was great. Both the quality & choices of food was very good. Restaurant staff were also very attentive & helpful. The hotel is less than 10 minutes walk from the Holy Mosque and so overall there is nothing much to complain except it's not good value for money at 760 Riyals a night (booking through hotel website).

We arranged our trip to the haram with haj and umrah and we specifically inform them that we were looking for a hotel within walking distancebut unfortunately we were misguided by the tour operator . On arrival at 11.30 a.mwe wanted to attend the jummah salatbecause that was our only jummah in madena as our rooms was not ready we begged them for a place that the family can have a washed and a change of clothing we were directed to the female toilet in the lobby which was filthy and strong smell of urine when we mentioned to the receptionist we were then directed to the men toilet for the ladies to have a wash and changed which was imposible for them. I have to stop other man using the toilet while the ladies is having a changed for jummah. The male had to get dressed in the lobby infront of others people . When i asked to speak to the hotel manager he refused to speake to us. We finally attend jummah without a bath.. We were given one room around 5p.m but while were waiting for the rest of the group to have there allocated rooms we found our belonging is back in the lobby without telling us whem we inquired we were told that their is a flood in that room but apparently there was an arab man with his family waiting to be given a room and I believed our room was given to him. At 6p.m we were still waiting at the lobby to have the rest of the rooms which was still not ready we were told to wait in the the lobby and the receptionist would inform us when the rooms will be ready unfortunately the receptionist went off duty without informing his next on duty and we have to repeat our problems and finally we were given our rooms.The rooms was not cleaned properly , it was very dusty,and the mini bar was empty. I found the the checkin staff has a lot to learn and particularly how to respect visitors and i find it very hard to believe how they lies to people and facing the haram. I believe that the hotel cater more for the shia brothers and sisters. I would never set foot in this hotel again and hope that the management of this hotel that notice.
