Rama Al-Madina Hotel

Rama Al-Madina Hotel sits in Madinah's South Central district, in the Bani Khudrah neighbourhood off Prince Abdulmohsen bin Abdulaziz Road, right next to Othman bin Affan Mosque. The hotel is about 330 m from the Prophet's Mosque, a 5-6 minute walk that brings you in through Bab Makkah, which makes it a practical base for pilgrims who want to reach every prayer on foot.

Rooms come as doubles, twins, triples and four-person rooms. Each has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a wardrobe and a private bathroom with a hair dryer, and WiFi is free. There is no restaurant on site and, according to some listings, breakfast is not served, so plan to eat out.

The four-person rooms suit families and small groups travelling together, and the front desk is staffed around the clock for late arrivals. On the other hand, there is no on-site parking, extra beds are not available and pets are not allowed, so pick a room that fits your group size when reserving.
