Le Meridien Medina

The breakfast is varied, and most people should find something they like. Scrambled eggs are a must for Europeans 😉. It’s served in the restaurant at a fair price, about 90 SAR per person. What stood out most was the staff. Special thanks to the young man who looked after us. He wore traditional Arab clothing, answered all our questions patiently with a smile, and spoke perfect English, which isn’t very common in Saudi Arabia. They also let us extend checkout by up to two hours at no extra cost, something that isn’t always easy even at some Marriott hotels. It’s a well-equipped, decent hotel at a reasonable price, even if it’s not a Ritz. There’s a large free parking area in front. I can recommend it to tourists from Europe and elsewhere.

The shuttle to Masjid Nabawi was reliable and on time, so getting to prayers each day was easy. What I’ll remember most, though, is how warmly the team treated my family. I’ve stayed around the world as a Marriott Titanium member, but that genuine care stood out. Ayyaz from Guest Service patiently guided my elderly, disabled mother and helped her feel safe and respected. The front desk offered her an extra breakfast, a small gesture that meant a lot. Housekeeping was attentive and quick whenever we needed something. Abdullah, the breakfast chef, greeted us like family every morning, made my omelette warmly, and surprised my nephew with a colouring book. Those personal touches made the stay memorable and gave my family comfort and dignity. Le Méridien Medina will be my go-to hotel when I return to Medina. May Allah’s rahmah and blessings be upon the whole team. Jazakallahu khairan.

The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the staff were supportive. The location was good too. I had a good stay, though breakfast needs significant improvement. More variety and better quality would make a real difference.

The complimentary coaster was punctual and made the trip to Masjid Nabawi simple. The hotel is about 8 minutes away, and the shuttle drops guests at 10B in the Haram basement, so the distance wasn’t a problem. Breakfast was another highlight: fresh omelets and pancakes, lots of fruit, and a great bakery selection. It officially runs from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM, but the staff kindly looked after us even 30 minutes after closing. Room service is available 24 hours, and the staff stayed courteous and attentive at any hour. My room was clean, modern, and elegant, and the washroom amenities were especially impressive. As an Elite member, I was upgraded to a suite, which made the stay very comfortable. Thank you to Mr. Moatsem (RDM) and Mr Hussam (Dulty Manager) for the recognition and service. The hotel clearly values loyal guests. Le Méridien Medina felt calm and beautiful, and the staff treated me like family. I had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it for a visit to the holy city. Thanks for making my stay so comfortable.
