Le Bosphorus Hotel Two

Le Bosphorous 2 Hotel was about a 15-minute walk from the Masjid, not really close enough for the premium price. The receptionists weren’t welcoming and acted as if checking us in and giving us a room was a favor. When our flight was cancelled because of the war situation, we were stuck. Hotels around the Middle East were considering extending stays until things settled or flights reopened, but this hotel refused our request. They wanted us to pay more than the original room rate, which felt like a joke. We had to check out without a hotel booked, then urgently book another place that was much closer and half the price. This hotel showed no empathy and seemed to care only about money. If you have a choice, avoid it.

They have about four branches, all within walking distance of the mosque. It’s very close to the masjid of Rasuulullah sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam.

It’s a clean, nice hotel with cooperative staff. On the way to Masjid Nabawi, you come across historical mosques nearby.

The room was old and far from the haram. Razan at reception was friendly, but not all the staff were. Housekeeping never cleaned my room during my stay. When I told them it needed cleaning, they said they would, but nothing happened. Children also played in the corridor right outside the room, and the staff did nothing.
