Jawharat Alalia Hotel Suites Medina

Jawharat Alalia Hotel Suites sits on Caliph Omar bin Al Khattab Road in the Harrat Al Wabra district, southwest of the Prophet's Mosque. It is about 3.1 km from the Haram, so plan on a car or taxi for daily prayers rather than walking.

This is an independent, budget aparthotel with around 85 units, ranging from Deluxe rooms to family apartments with more than one bedroom. Units come with a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a tea and coffee kettle, plus air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, an in-room safe and a private bathroom with a bathtub and free toiletries, which makes simple self-catered meals easy.

Children of all ages are welcome, and children up to 2 years old stay free without an extra bed. Guests also get free private parking, free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, an elevator and paid laundry service. There is no swimming pool, and pets are not allowed.
