Valoraciones de Odst Al Madinah Hotel

I stayed at Odst Al Madinah Hotel from April 7 to April 10, 2025, and paid 1,078 AED for three nights, booked online through Trip.com. For the location, the price is quite affordable — still not super cheap, but definitely worth it for what you get. I booked it just one day before arriving, and it was one of the cheapest options available in that area at the time. I paid online, and there was no extra deposit required, which made the whole check-in process really smooth. When I arrived, there was a long queue at reception, but one of the staff members noticed and opened a new counter, calling me over and helping me check in quickly. That made a good first impression. The staff were generally kind and helpful, except for one staff member at the small bakery shop in the lobby — he seemed to be always in a hurry and a bit rude, but it wasn’t a big issue. The location is definitely one of the best things about this hotel. It’s around a 10-minute walk to Masjid Nabawi, or even less if you walk fast. The hotel is located near Fahad Road, where you’ll find the Madinah Frame and many well-known hotels. It’s also near the main entrance of the mosque, so if you’re walking with women, it’s very convenient — you can enter directly without needing to take the long detour to the women’s gate. The surrounding area is vibrant and full of life, with shops, groceries, shopping centers, and a very spiritual atmosphere. During prayer times, it’s beautiful to walk together with crowds heading to the mosque. I didn’t book the room with breakfast, but the hotel does offer Indonesian food. If you’re in your room, you can dial 1518 to connect to the next hotel — I think it’s called Zowar Hotel — and place an order. I tried calling them a few times, but either no one picked up or they told me the kitchen was closed (probably because I called late at night), so I didn’t get to try their food. However, there’s a great nearby Indonesian restaurant called Sunda Restaurant that I recommend for anyone looking for familiar flavors. In the hotel lobby, there’s a small bakery-style shop that sells cakes, bread, coffee, and tea — convenient for a quick bite or drink, although the staff there weren’t the friendliest. The room itself was excellent — very clean, comfortable, with consistently hot water, and I had no issues with anything inside. However, the hallway outside the room was a bit noisy, so if you’re a light sleeper, that’s something to keep in mind. One thing to be aware of is that housekeeping tends to knock and open the door with their key if there’s no answer — this happened to me once, so I recommend always responding right away if someone knocks. In conclusion, I highly recommend Odst Al Madinah Hotel for those who want to stay close to Masjid Nabawi but are also looking for a budget-friendly option. It offers great value for its location, comfort, and service, especially compared to other hotels in the same area.

This was honestly the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The room was extremely small, and the entire place smelled bad. The service was terrible from start to finish. The staff at the reception were rude and unhelpful. The hotel was overcrowded and poorly managed. The elevator was always packed and took forever to go up and down. Other rooms guest were also making lots of noises we couldn’t even sleep properly. I needed to print a few papers, and they refused to help. I ended up going to the hotel next door, and even though I wasn’t staying there, they helped me out for free. That just shows how bad the service here is. To top it all off, they didn’t even provide basic amenities like towels. No toiletries, nothing. It honestly felt like a joke. Definitely not worth the money, and I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Pilih hotel ni sebab lokasi. Cumanya susah nak dapat hotel ni sebab cepat sold out. Haritu masa check in receptionist surprisingly ramah, which was a bit odd sebab customer service kat Saudi ni takda lah beriya sangat ramah. Check in macam biasa lepas Asar. Hotel memang sangat2 busy so jarang sangat2 akan dapat early check in. Easily accessible untuk yang pakai wheelchair. Lif banyak. Walaupun orang ramai tapi ok sebab lif banyak. Overall akan stay sini lagi inshaallah.

the food is horrible...especially for Malaysian/indonesian food

Nothing is good about this hotel other than the location False advertising Poor checkin Overcrowded Not clean Don’t expect parking even though they say it’s included Don’t expect any amenity, not even soap

Cleanliness, room service and  facilities has to be improved a lot compared to the city like Madinah.

The only thing is good location. We stay there 4 days nobody came to clean room. Very small room beds are not comfortable at all.

All good and near by mesjid also Indo restaurant just next door.....

near & easy to masjid nabawi

For Umrah perform we stay and it was nice and better than before

Love to stay there

Worse hotel to stay bad smell in the room

Great stay at a reasonablu priced hotel. Food variety was not great though. But probably ok for most other patrons as majority are here for religious reasons rather than their tummies.

Very good
