Ajyal Al Madinah Hotel 1

Ajyal Al Madinah Hotel 1 sits in the Qurban district of Madinah, on Qurban Al-Nazil Street, a well-known neighbourhood on the southern side of the city, not far from Quba Mosque. The hotel is about 1.6 km from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, with Bab Makkah on the southern side as the nearest gate, so guests will need to arrange suitable transport to reach the Haram. It is a one-star property that suits pilgrims looking for a simple, budget-friendly base in the city of the Prophet, covering the essentials of a stay without a high price tag. Note that the Ajyal name is shared by several independently run hotels in different parts of Madinah, including Ajyal 2, Ajyal 3 and Ajyal Serviced Apartments, so it is worth confirming the exact branch name and address when booking to avoid mixing up these similarly named properties.

Rooms are simple and practical, with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, an electric kettle, a work desk and a safety deposit box, plus a private bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries. According to some listings, rooms also have heating, a hair dryer, a bidet and a good level of soundproofing. Some listings describe three main room categories: a 16 m² triple room with three single beds, a 19 m² quadruple room with four single beds for small groups, and a 20 m² double room with one large bed for couples or solo travellers. There is no restaurant serving full meals, but a small coffee shop inside the building offers drinks and light snacks, and room service and daily housekeeping are available throughout the stay.

The hotel offers free WiFi throughout the property, a 24-hour front desk, express and private check-in and check-out, and an elevator serving its floors; according to some listings, a wheelchair-accessible elevator is also available. Infants stay free of charge, and an extra bed can be added for older children at an additional cost, which makes it a practical option for families on a tight budget. Cashless and contactless payment is accepted alongside cash, free cancellation is offered on some rates, and the minimum check-in age is 20. The property is entirely smoke-free, does not allow pets and, like all hotels in Saudi Arabia, does not serve alcohol. There is no swimming pool and no on-site parking, so it is best suited to travellers who want a simple, practical stay in the Qurban district without extra facilities and who are ready to arrange their own transport to the Haram.
