Great location, 30 seconds away from the mosque. Bed was comfy although pillows were too high for our baby. Room was very clean and as pictures displayed. Great view from breakfast hall.

Service beyond expectations. Was upgraded to Presidential Suite from Junior Suite with Partial Haram View by the polite and kind DM Anas. Very large living area. Bed is very comfortable and nice bed linen and pillows. Hotel is close to men’s entrance to haram mosque. Look forward for the widespread bf and dinner of quality. For someone fussy about food pretty pleased. Restaurant staff servers do their due diligence to serve but sometime they cater better service to certain individuals. Table setting can be improved. One of the server bad attitude. Small built and not helpful. Chefs passionate in their food preparation.

I had a great experience at this hotel. Friendly and helpful staff and a very convenient location. Plenty of food places around and only a 2/3 minute walk to the mosque.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An absolutely wonderful stay! The location is unbeatable – just a minute’s walk to the Haram. The hotel is spotless, always smells fresh, and the staff at reception and housekeeping are extremely professional, humble, and welcoming. Rooms are perfectly sized, with cozy beds, excellent bathrooms, and great amenities. I loved the complimentary Nespresso machine with unlimited pods, free drinks, and the fruit/snack basket delivered every other day. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of dishes and an impressive selection of teas and coffees. The hotel also has a beautiful prayer area. For families, this hotel is perfect – it has a kids’ nursery and play area with a nanny’s supervision, so parents can relax while children are entertained in a safe environment. One of the best hotels in Madinah – highly recommended for both families and solo travelers.

We had a very wonderful experience at Sofitel hotel in Madinah. This hotel is very close to the Haram, easy access to food and shops around. Service is very good. Breakfast and half board is a good choice. My kids loved the deluxe room.

The Sofitel Shahd Al Madinah is truly exceptional. It's consistently our top choice when visiting Madinah. The hotel excels in every aspect: its unparalleled proximity to Al-Haram, the excellent service from all staff, impeccable cleanliness, and the quality of its food (I only had the breakfast). The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, and the staff were incredibly attentive, readily bringing drinks and even food upon request. Their hospitality is truly outstanding. We had guests during our stay, and when we requested Arabic coffee, the staff went above and beyond, graciously providing complimentary baklava, dates, fresh fruit, and coffee. A special mention goes to Mr. Hani Al Khattab, who was exceptionally helpful and responsive to all our needs. Any room service request was delivered swiftly and in record time.

Wow, this hotel comes highly, highly recommended! It's so comfortable, incredibly well-located, and all the staff are exceptionally friendly. The food is absolutely delicious, and the cleanliness? Impeccable – truly outstanding. Seriously, I can't recommend it enough! Our kids were thrilled too, especially with the kids' club available! 🫶🏻
