"**Good Value for Money, Spacious Room & Helpful Staff — But Consider the Walking Distance**
I stayed at Hayat Al Madinah Hotel for 4 nights (1–5 October 2026) during my solo DIY Umrah trip.
Overall, the hotel offers good value for money. My room was spacious, clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Communication in English was sometimes challenging, but Google Translate worked well.
The hotel provides a complimentary scheduled shuttle service to the Masjid Nabawi area, which is very helpful.
**However, there is one important thing future guests should know.** Due to ongoing construction and road closures around the hotel, walking directly to Masjid Nabawi is currently impractical. Even when using the shuttle, I still had to walk approximately 1.2–1.5 km between the drop-off/pick-up point and the mosque.
Therefore, while I found the hotel suitable for my solo trip, it may not be the best choice for elderly pilgrims, wheelchair users or guests with limited mobility.
**My verdict:** Recommended for budget-conscious travellers who are comfortable walking longer distances and using the hotel's shuttle. If proximity and easy access to Masjid Nabawi are your priorities, consider other options.
I will be sharing more firsthand DIY Umrah experiences and practical travel tips at *****************************************.
