Paradise Hotel Medina

Paradise Hotel sits in the Al Naqa district of central Madinah, about 230 m from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. The nearest entrance is Bab Makkah on the mosque's southern side, a 3-4 minute walk away, so reaching the five daily prayers needs no transport.

Rooms come in three categories: Standard rooms with air conditioning, satellite TV and a private bathroom; Superior rooms that add a welcome tray, an in-room safe and a mini-fridge; and suites, some with a private balcony. There is an on-site restaurant, and room service brings food and drinks to your room on request.

The front desk is staffed around the clock, and free high-speed WiFi covers the rooms and public areas. You will also find an elevator, an ATM, security staff and a fitness room. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 PM. Paradise is an independent hotel rather than part of a chain, and a practical choice for pilgrims who want a simple base within easy walking distance of the Prophet's Mosque.
