Hotel Testimonials

"If you are traveling with elderly parents, this is the only hotel to book. It is literally right in the courtyard of Masjid Nabawi. My mother could walk to the Ladies' Entrance in just two minutes without crossing any roads. Taqwa Tours insisted we stay here for her comfort, and it was the best advice we received. The ease of going back and forth for every prayer made our trip so blessed and stress-free."

"Coming from the US, the jet lag can be tough, but the beds here are incredibly comfortable. The soundproofing is amazing—despite being right next to the mosque, the room was a quiet sanctuary. We booked a Junior Suite through Taqwa Tours, and the 24-hour room service was excellent for late-night meals. The Rotana restaurant has a fantastic spread. It’s expensive, but for the peace of mind and luxury, it’s worth it."

"We stayed here with a group of 8. The location allows you to maximize your time in the Masjid. We could pray, come back for a quick tea, and go back for the next prayer effortlessly. Taqwa Tours organized our transfer and check-in, ensuring our rooms were close together. The staff treat you with such respect and warmth, fitting for the City of the Prophet (PBUH). A truly memorable stay."
