Medina Hotels with Gym

Firstly I would like to make very clear that there are two Movenpick hotels in Madinah which some reviewers seem to be mixing up! This one is part of the Accor group and the Movenpick Madina that we stayed in. It is BEHIND the Pullman Zamzam Madinah, which faces one side of the Masjid al Nabawi haram. So it is a couple of roads walk away from the haram on the opposite side to the female entrances to the haram. This is nowhere near five star standard. Due to the poor condition of the bathrooms and room decor I would say three is being generous. Despite its attractive entrance and reception this is a rundown hotel in need of refurbishment, in particular the disgusting bathrooms. The bath, sinks and tiles were old, stained and mouldy. This was made worse by the fact that the housekeeping was very poor. The rooms weren’t cleaned and towels not changed unless we requested this. The actual rooms were ok despite the tired looking furnishings and lack of cleaning. The receptionist who checked us in apologised for not giving us adjacent rooms, but we discovered we did have adjacent rooms, and both were triple rooms. The rooms were quite spacious with comfortable generous sized beds but the TVs had very poor reception and the wifi was appalling, regularly dropping out. The fridges in the rooms were tiny and barely cold. In fact they and the lights turned off whenever we took the key cards out! Because of the hotel location the view out of the window was depressing, a view of the main road. A nice touch though was that as well as a Quran there was a nice prayer mat in each room. On our first morning we went down to breakfast to discover that the female staff had already let some guests have breakfast for our rooms. The head of staff quickly resolved this apologising profusely. In fact apart from this confusion on the first day we found the restaurant staff to be very nice people. They always had a smile for us and the waiters always ready to assist. We were very very disappointed with the very limited cooked breakfast items - there was barely any variety and apart from on one day only vegetarian options. The pancakes were disgusting and tasted like long life ones from packets rather than freshly made. Very very disappointing. But the worst was that there was no fresh coffee!! Only sachets of instant coffee. How is this possible in a so called five star restaurant? There was a big unhealthy selection of pastries though. And the strawberry juice when available was nice. We tried to order room service in the evening on one occasion- the staff member (chef?) who answered the call was rude and told us some of the items were either unavailable or incorrectly described on the menu! On the whole staying at this hotel was a major inconvenience due to its location and at best it is a three star hotel. I would not stay here again.

Brilliant hotel with Brilliant staff, loved the 3 days we stayed there, location is good. Only a few minutes away from the Mosque, our flight was delayed and we lost our room, but the staff made sure we had a temporary room for a few hours before changing it to an absolutely stunning room, thank you Saja Al Madinah for a wonderful stay, will be staying there in the future

The hotel is just next to the airport from where there are direct public buses (bus number/line 400, running roughly every 30 minutes, journey time 20 minutes) to Al Haram. The furniture in the room is a bit aged, but other than that it is perfect for a few nights for exploring the city. Even though it is next to the airport the noise from the planes could not be heard in the room. The buffet breakfast is OK for 1-2 nights.

I stayed at this hotel in Medina coming from Mecca. The rooms are all in one floor. Same floor as the restaurant and the mall. Checking in was easy and seamless. Dian helped us and made our stay enjoyable. He went out of his way to make sure we have all we needed. Breakfast was amazing kudus to chef Hares Elsayed is definitely top class chef. Nasrulsin working hard to ensure everyone’s needs are met. Sama at the reception was very helpful and courteous. Assisted us and was always smiling and helpful. I see Leena on the main floor always asking us if we need anything. All in all the service and staff in this hotel is top notch and one of the best experiences I had in a Marriott hotel being a reward Member for the 13 years. I had a 2 bedroom apartment and was very spacious and clean. The hotel is a far from Alharam but the shuttle is always on time for all prayers. It takes 15-20 minutes. It’s connected to the mall where all kinds of food are available. I will definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here if I come back to beautiful Medina

My stay on 9 to 11 of Feb 2023. Excellent location, short walk from towards the Masjid - the side of the Green Dome. Also a short walk to the food market. Friendly staff and spacious clean room - good condition bath and shower (no horrible grout work)- comfortable mattress topper - clean Tea/Coffee making facilities. Hallway to room smells good with some sort of atomiser and lifts are fast, on either side of the hallway. The receptionist kindly gave me an upgrade from the usual room I'd booked. All in all, this was a pleasant and peaceful experience. I comfortably got changed into my Ihram, ready for my onwards journey to Makkah via train. Mr Akhtar

Honestly a beautiful hotel, the staff were all very respectful, kind and easy to talk to especially Masum Ahmed and Al Ameen Sarker who helped us continuously during our stay!! We had the breakfast buffet included and it exceeded our expectations everything was well served and there was various options. We stayed for 3 nights and the Elaf al tawqa hotel made our experience easier overall due to how close it was to the prophets mosaue Allhumarik, can’t wait to return!

Good, clean and spacious suites with very well mannered staff. They have a cafeteria in the lobby where breakfast is served, not in the form of buffet but one can order a breakfast dish, with a drink and water (one for each). 5-10 minutes drive to Masjid-e-Nabawi by taxi, cost totally upto your negotiation skills. Al Rashed Mega Mall is just across the road but the road is so busy, please don’t even think of crossing it straight on foot. Either take a taxi (sounds weird) or walk down the lane till a crossing and then come back all the way up. During my stay of 3 nights, I couldn’t go there even once. On the lane behind, 10 mins walk away, you will be able to find all restaurants like tazaj, dominos, mcdonalds etc. Overall, a pleasant stay, 20-30 mins from Airport and Harmain Train Station.

I am a guest at the hotel from 13.-17. December, room 713. I give it two stars for the Haram view and the possibility of early check-in otherwise it would be the fewest possible stars. Otherwise, it is a bad experience to be here. I have booked a club room with access to the executive lounge. The club rooms are usually somewhat more expensive. But the Lounge usually offers good options for ad libitum drinks and snacks as well as afternoon tea and evening canapés. However, the executive lounge is closed, and we were informed on arrival. Nevertheless, we were told that they should probably ensure our satisfaction. The next morning, I talked to Bassam who says that I can just call room service as many times as I want and order anything I could think of. I told him that it would be too much to call room service several times, but I shouldn’t think about that he said. I made sure several times that I had understood it correctly. Bassam states that he will send some snacks at 2pm on the same day as a start. Since nothing is sent to us at around 3-4pm the same day, I call room service myself and order something and be told it is chargeable. I inform about the agreement I had with Bassam. Then I get half of my order and a condescending “it's all free” message. They forget that I have prepaid extra for my access to the executive lounge. I call later and order a latte macchiato, but to my surprise they don’t have it. I’m told they only have Latte. I order that and an espresso with some dessert/small cakes. They send takeaway coffee with cookies from Starbucks and a bill that I refuse to pay. They then call back and forth several times with the first notification that it is chargeable, and the bill must be paid. I inform them of my agreement with Bassam, but that I do not want any unprofessional takeaway coffee in a disposable mug and ask them for proper coffee in a cup and that they must pick up what they had left for me. Then someone else calls and apologize for the misunderstanding and that it is free anyway. A third person then calls and demands payment anyway. I talk to the reception before I write a review and it is promised that they will fix it. Already a whole day has passed without using our access to Lounge facilities and worst experience ever by an unprofessional staff. We dropped it completely and didn’t think about it anymore. The next day, Bassam calls and apologize for the whole misunderstanding and that it was not handled correctly, etc. and that it was now in place. They then send some snacks with small cheese snacks, fruit and breakfast pastries in the afternoon. I call room service in the evening to order, among other things, cold and hot mezza, dessert and drinks and am told again that it is for a fee. I refer again to Bassam and then he calls himself and states that it is not included in the Lounge dishes! I inform that it is standard with a minimum of cold and hot mezza as well as salads and dessert in the Lounge fa

Went as part of Hajj package. Our bus driver got lost on the way there. Then was shocked when we arrived our tour manager rep wanted to put us in a quad room instead of a double room which we paid for. Luckily, by magic some double rooms appeared and we got one. The room was small and so was the shower but it was big enough and I was not inconvenienced. The rooms were modern and clean. For some reason there was a room next to us with another entry door for both of us but the lock didn't work so they had to keep this door open. It seems there is a restaurant on every floor. Buffet was part of our package and it was excellent and luckily they had a couple of Indo-Pak dishes. It's a 50 yard walk to the Prophet's mosque which obviously was convenient. Lot of shops nearby. Overall no issues here.

Great place, hospitality and hygiene, food was great , helpful stuff and people, great panoramic view, everything was amazing, the sweet’s area was good enough for us, with 2 bathrooms which was a great option, complimentary fruit platter, which reflects how with simple thing u can bring ur clients back every time isa Keep it up ☺️☺️
