The location is good, very close to the mosque. Elevators during rush hours are insane. We had to wait +5 mins sometimes for the elevator. The food is really good, its very home-like flavors. The restaurant design is a bit weird like circular so the flow of traffic and people cramp it up really fast. I think the bedding needs to be updated, its a bit too sunken in. I think the staff needs to be also reviewed, housekeeping members should be able to communicate in Arabic, because this is mostly what people speak easily as the demographic is very wide and also in the older generations.

This was my second stay at Al Muna Kareem Hotel and I honestly recommend it to everyone. The location is amazing, just a 1–2 minute walk to Gate 339, and it’s on a really peaceful side of the mosque, which makes it so much nicer than being in the busy areas. The rooms are a good size, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast is amazing and fresh every day. The staff are friendly and helpful too, which makes the stay even better. A relative of mines had also stayed here a week before and had lost her gold jewellery. I went and asked the duty manager about it, and they were able to give it back to me. I was told they keep items for a year if you forget or lose them in the room, which was really reassuring. Overall, it’s a great hotel if you want something close to the Haram, peaceful, and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip. Read less

Couple of minutes walk from gate 339, not far from ladies entrance. In a quiet part of the north east quadrant basically on the border of the first ring road. Currency exchange, other shops nearby. Hotel buffet is on level 2, food selection and temperatures ok. Hotel clean, bathrooms could do with a update. We booked two rooms via our agent, agent only gave us one reference number, despite giving the 2 x lead guest names, receptionists could not find the second room on their system which I found odd, I then had to get HCN numbers from agent to get both of our rooms despite both rooms being booked in my name and another family members name. Some language issues with receptionists as their English was limited. I was having date samples delivered and I asked the reception staff in english, have any date samples been delivered for room 109? Neither receptionist could understand what I was saying? They thought i wanted to book another date ! Lucky for us, there were Bangladeshi workers so I asked them in bengali and they said they put samples in our room. Hotel seemed clean otherwise, no pests were visible. Read less

The hotel is just 5 mins walk to Masjid Nabawi Gate 339. The room is small and the bathroom is very small. The food at the Buffet has a lot of varieties and plenty. The F&B staff, including the Chefs were all friendly. I like the unique circular room structure, but the building is outdated and looks old structure so it cannot be rated as 5 star hotel it would be a 3 star hotel. Read less

We stayed for a total of four nights and didn’t experience any problems during our stay. The hotel’s design was very beautiful, and we really liked its location close to the mosque. However, we were a bit surprised by the small size of the rooms and the restaurant. Nevertheless, it was still worth staying. Read less

We had the pleasure of staying here just before Ramadan. GREAT location and easily accessible to everything. Rooms were clean and spacious and fridge was working! A great service by staff, Breakfast staff are amazing. The options for breakfast was amazing. Nice spacious restaurant. They also offer lunch and dinner which looked just as amazing. But didn’t realise until the end of our stay! But great food options for my young son also. Staff were very prompt and used the laundry service which was excellent for a small fee. Cleaning staff are amazing and helped empty bins when requested. It is a very well run hotel and would definitely stay there again with my family next time we come to Medina in sha Allah. Thank you for a great stay! Read less

The hotel is just 5 mins walk to Masjid Nabawi Gate 339. The room is small but we are ok since we spend most of our time outside. The food at the Buffet has a lot of varieties and plenty. The F&B staff, including the Chefs were all friendly. Our room overlooking Masjid Imam Bukhari. So blessed. I like the unique circular room structure. Different from other hotels. The Popular and Low Price underground Shopping Arcade is only 2 mins walk to the right of the Hotel. Read less

Positives - Good location, good room service, good looking hotel Negatives- Lift design poor, on a curve so you can't see which lift stops. Also doors close too quick. Room light/ socket set up is poor so if you want to use some sockets overnight, you have to have that wall light on too Breakfast area too small. Not enough tables available at breakfast time.

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. When I stepped onto the hotel room, it smelt of smoke, and you could tell the cleaners tried to cover it up with light spray. The smoke left over smells on all of the beds including pillows, even though there’s a sign on every door that has a no smoking sign. I have a family of 6, and we wanted enough for each, but instead 1 of the room has 3 beds, and the other has 2. Dust is left everywhere and there are prints of fingerprints and white stuff everywhere. Even worst than this, somethings you can’t even eat breakfast due to the amount of people and how sqaushed it is. The WiFi barely does anything even though in every room it says ‘enjoy free high speed internet.’ The only thing they actually care about is the look of the elevators, but they’re also really bad due to the smallness and how much people enter, with only 5 lifts available. I am very disappointed with this hotel, and the money was not worth any of it AT ALL. Read less

Very good experience. When we arrived, couldn't find change anywhere for the taxi. When we asked the concierge Bilal he went asking local shops, when that failed he gave his own money and said to pay him back later in our stay. The receptionist were very helpful as were all the staff. The lifts are very well laid out which help make using them really quick without large queues. Taking into account the quality of most hotels in madinah. Muna Kareem was very laid out and designed really well. It was a 5 min walk to the ladies section and was very close to other amenities like the laundry services and shops. Would definitely recommend to others. Read less

I’m someone who goes to top notch hotels such as Waldorf Astoria , Marriot Executive and even the Ritz! However this hotel came with a package going for Umrah , as it didn’t come with a choice and it was “5 stars” I had no issue. Little did I know , when I entered I thought that the reception was very small with weird blue lighting that makes it look like a fast food restaurant but that pales in comparison with the rooms and hotel service. Rooms had peeling paints with clashing colored walls that didn’t go together and bathrooms filled up with hair. Pillows (as you can see in the pic) are hard as if it had been stuffed with rocks , who is going to sleep on there?!? As I’m writing this review my neck is still hurting… Then we order room service for milk for my kid at 9:30… how can a bloody 5 star hotel tell you that they ran out of milk?!? On top of that they don’t have water at times and when you call them for the basic necessities such as shampoo or conditioner they come just three hours later WITH NOTHING IN THEIR HANDS!!! asking what I want despite me already saying it!! All staff members barely speak English and act so rude when you tell them you don’t speak it I would upload images but they don’t allow it P.S. the Wi-Fi sucks so make sure to buy a sim before entering or a mini Wi-Fi box Read less

Very near to gate 339. Only 200 m/5 minutes to Nabawi mosque by foot. The bed was comfortable. The room is not too large. But that's fine since we spent most of our time in the mosque. The food was delicious. (-) the restaurant is small so we have to manage our time so we can get the table. Read less

I had the best experience with this hotel eventhough for me, i think the room is smaller however the service is good. The staffs were friendly and helpful. Those in the front desk were also helpful.

The rooms were well furnished and equipped, but the level of cleanliness needs improvement . The receptionists were so sweet and helpful especially Ms. Amar. The location is perfectly close to the Masjed. Two problems though, the elevators numbervand speed and the breakfast restaurants, do not accommodate for the number of rooms/guests of the hotel.

A bit further away from Masjid Nabawi. Room is small and we can't even put 2 big luggages. Space is a bit tight. Toilet is not big but the bath tub makes it hard to climb for those with leg problem. Food is good. Menu change daily. Nice and clean hotel. A lot of shops outside of hotel. Read less

We had a bad time the hotels rooms are very small when compared to the Online photos. Initially the staff were helpful but when we went to talk about the issues we had their attitude was completely different and didn't want to be helpful at all.

I checked in the hotel for next four nights. Was worried after reading the comments of other previous guests of the hotel. Yes, the breakfast place is absolutely not meant to handle all the guests in this hotel. All floors have twenty rooms. The hotel Ground, Mezzanine and 14 floors over that. It has four basement floors as well. Yes, the elevators are slow and not according to large number of hotel guests. The hotel is otherwise comfortable, the staff is good. Room size and the facilities are good. It is not more than 3 minutes walk from the Masjid e Nabawi. Read less

Very beautiful hotel helpful reception and porter service is good, but beds were all single and we were a couple so we asked the reception and they sorted it out happily, the AC was working fine had hot water and provided with shampoo and body wash etc the hotel was quite empty when we went on 8th August 2021 so the lifts were always available too, distance from muna kareem to haram entrance (gate 339) for ladies is very near like a 5 minute walk or less I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit madina al munawwarah.

Big rooms, comfy beds, great and quick service. 5 minutes walk to Harm. The only concern is the hotel parking design; one way in and out. As a control on visitors, there must be a smoke detection as we have smelled shisha and cigarettes around the room we are in. Read less
