Al Rawda Royal Inn

The food is what I'll remember most. Chef Riky from Indonesia made incredibly tasty dishes with such familiar, comforting flavors that I felt at home even though I was far away. Hotel Maden Al Raudha was comfortable too, and being close to Masjid Nabawi made the stay feel even more meaningful. This place will stay in my heart.

Chef Riky from Jakarta, Indonesia was kind and made delicious Indonesian meals that gave us the feeling of having family there. I was very happy with my stay at Hotel Maden Al Raudha. Everything felt organized, the hotel was excellent, and the service was attentive. A really special experience.

Chef Cemil from Turkey was a real highlight. He was thoughtful and friendly, explained the food, and shared stories about the cuisine. It made us feel genuinely welcome. The Jareesh was the specialty that day, and my first time trying it. I'm still wondering where I could find anything like it back in Malaysia, and Chef Cemil, I wouldn't mind getting that recipe for research sometime. 😄 We were there February 11th - 16th Feb, and the hotel's position right across from Masjid Nabawi was so convenient. Seeing the mosque just outside felt surreal and comforting for my family. Our room was immaculate and well kept, with beds so comfortable they felt like a peaceful retreat after a long day. Breakfast and lunch were generous, beautifully presented, delicious each day, and offered an impressive variety. The restaurant staff were consistently warm, attentive, and helpful. Between the location, clean room, food, and hospitality, Maden Al Rawda Hotel made our time in Medina more comfortable and spiritually meaningful. We left happy, well fed, and hoping to return.

The buffet has a good range, and the staff are generally friendly. The hotel is very close to Haram, just two rows from the hotels on the Haram side. The rooms, toilets, and facilities are much better after the renovation. I was especially happy to see waiter Sadin again. He has looked after my family in December 2023, 2024, and 2025, and always remembers us. His personal service is excellent. A real gem!
