Diyar Al Salam Silver Hotel

Diyar Al Salam Silver Hotel sits in the western central district of Madinah, on Saad bin Abi Waqas Street in the Al-Naqa neighbourhood. It is an independent budget hotel with no chain affiliation. The Prophet's Mosque is about 600 m away, roughly an 8-9 minute walk, and the nearest gate is Bab Al-Salam on the western side. That puts the five daily prayers within easy reach on foot, with no need for transport, which is exactly what many pilgrims look for when they want a comfortable walking distance to the Haram at a reasonable price. The hotel also lies within the Hejaz Railway Museum area, in the heart of the busy central zone, with the well-known Al Modeef Restaurant among the nearby landmarks.

Rooms come in several categories: Double, Triple and Quadruple rooms, plus VIP rooms and larger Suites for guests who want more space, and the Quadruple rooms suit small groups travelling together for Umrah. Each room has air conditioning, a private bathroom with toiletries, satellite channels, a wardrobe, and a refrigerator and microwave that make it easy to store and reheat food between prayers. Some rooms are soundproofed, a welcome touch in a busy central location. For dining, the hotel has an on-site restaurant serving a limited, selective menu, alongside a café for drinks and light bites. Guests who prefer to stock up themselves will find a small convenience store inside the hotel for water and daily essentials without leaving the building, which is especially practical for families and older pilgrims.

Families are welcome: children up to age 11 stay free with their parents, though the hotel provides no cots or extra beds, so larger families are better off choosing a Quadruple room or a Suite. The hotel has an elevator and a 24-hour front desk, with express check-in and check-out and a private check-in option, free WiFi in the public areas, and a barber shop inside the building. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 PM, the minimum check-in age is 18, and a valid ID plus a credit card or cash deposit is required on arrival. Note that the hotel has no parking of its own and does not allow pets, and like every hotel in Saudi Arabia it is completely alcohol-free.
