Guest UserWe had a wonderful and memorable stay at Al Manakha Rotana Madinah. This stay was especially meaningful to us as we got married in Madinah during our visit, making it a very special part of our journey together.
The room was clean, comfortable and well maintained, and the staff were friendly, respectful and very helpful. The peaceful atmosphere and convenient location made our experience even better.
We will always remember our stay here as part of such a beautiful chapter of our lives. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to couples and families visiting Madinah.

nita88The location wins.
The room is immaculate and clean.
I came during busy period so they took sometime to check us in, when at first they could not find our booking at trip.com. After waiting for 30 minutes we finally got our room keys.

Visiting AlUla during the off-season offers incredible value for money. Let's start with the weather, which is often a major concern. In July, temperatures range from 24-42 degrees Celsius. Mornings and evenings are surprisingly cool, especially when compared to Riyadh's 35-46 degrees during the same period. It's completely feasible to explore by avoiding the midday heat. Hotel prices in July are incredibly attractive, and there are very few tourists, mostly Arabs. Because there are so few people, the service is exceptionally quick. Shuttles arrive within 5-10 minutes. Only one of the three restaurants was open, offering both Arabic and Thai cuisine. While the Michelin-level prices aren't cheap, the food and service are excellent. The breakfast, in particular, is worth mentioning. It's à la carte, and the quality is superb. You could order the entire menu twice over! What's more, they even asked if I wanted a takeaway when I left. On the first day, I took away bread and fruit, and on the second, bread and Coke. A can of Coke costs 30 SAR in the room, and they packed me three cans along with a complimentary bottle of water! Since I didn't rent a car, I didn't visit any surrounding attractions, but the hotel grounds themselves are beautiful. In the evenings, you can enjoy a bonfire and stargaze. There's even a stargazing activity where a Kenyan guide shows you the moon through a telescope and helps you locate the Big Dipper to orient yourself. All the hotel staff are incredibly nice. They clean the room in the morning and then come back in the evening to prepare it for bedtime, which is a very thoughtful touch. Check-out was instant as I had no extra charges. I used the hotel's car service to the airport, and while it was twice the price of a taxi, the service was truly excellent. All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and I'm extremely satisfied!

DrubileeThe hotel is a relatively new one, with the rooms being exquisitely decorated and clean. Love the nude and calming colours used in the rooms. My stay was comfortable, and service was good. The hotel is just a stones throw away from Masjidil Nabawi, and it was convenient to be walking to the mosque for prayer which took less than 3 mins! Food was readily accessible with the many shops all around the hotel. I did find it odd that the hotel is advertised on trip with a no-child policy yet they told me that it was not true when I checked with the staff. I would have preferred it to be an adult only hotel since that was why I wanted to book anyway, because the room walls were quite thin, and we could hear kids screaming in the other rooms haha! But just small issue of course.

Guest UserThis hotel is very suitable for those who want to stay on the green dome side, only 5 minutes walk. And the hotel is right next to saffiya museum and the new restaurants, so many good ones to choose from. The hotel is directly connected to a mall, and cheap pakistani food is also available, and lots of clothes shops. So everything is nearby.
Only ladies prayer area is further away, but I didn't mind walking.

I payed for a 2 room signature suite. The rooms were very small. Not enough sockets, could only open the the fridge a fraction as the bed was in the way. The safe didn’t work properly either.

Guest UserThe hotel is great. Clean with good space in the room. Staff is attentive and nice. Breakfast was good with good variety.
Location was not the best as the ladies entrance to the mosque is from the northern side and this hotel is on the southern side for which we had to use uber for transportation.

We had originally booked another hotel but upon arrival there we immediately canceled our reservation and were looking for another hotel in the area ASAP, something clean, close to Masjid Nabawi and fairly priced. We knew the name and brand; however, we saw two Intercontinental hotels and went with the one we felt had a slight edge or advantage.
The hotel was built many years ago and we were informed that it is in the planning process of a renovation so we knew ahead of time what to expect. It has signature blue carpet and a 1950’s/1960’s vibe that I personally adored (almost out of a James Bond movie with Sean Connery). Everyday we stayed at the hotel, it grew on us. The view outside was heavenly mashAla. Remember you can open the window haha some people I imagine think they can’t. It such an experience and you have to do it. Most importantly, however, the sweatheart staff and how accommodating they were, you forget you’re staying at the Intercontinental and imagine you’re at your friends house. Again, We had an amazing window view and could see in the direction of Uhud. All The cafe’s are right outside of the hotel, the mosque is literally right outside the hotel and down the walking path, maybe a 5 minute walk. Plenty of pigeons to feed, affordable Ubers/ Taxi right outside, you can walk to Uhud you can walk to Quba, you can do it all. And the best part, the check-in/help desk are right in front of you when you walk in to the lobby.
Side note: if you enjoy peoppe watching , you get a great view from your hotel room to the outside.
They have a coffee bar in the Lobby with free dates and Arabic coffee (world class) and this hotel served the best Breakfast and room service food I’ve ever had and I’ve been to 51 countries, aged 44. It was even at par or better maybe than the Jabal Omar in Mecca we stayed at. You absolutely cannot lose out by staying at this hotel. If you have any issues pick up your room phone and dial any one of the prompts and someone will alleviate any issues you have.
The hotel executive management were world class and again treated me like a friend/family. Based off our repertoire I’d come back to this hotel because Sister Khadijah and staff were so amazing mashAla.

Abida RahmanThe Pros: Unmatched Location & Heartwarming Service
Dream Location for Female Pilgrims: The absolute biggest selling point. It is less than a 3 to 4-minute walk to the women’s prayer area, with Gates 329 and 330 being the absolute closest.
Convenient Amenities Nearby: The Nusuk Center is right next door, and there is a children’s nursery within a 10-minute walk, making it incredibly convenient for families.
Outstanding Housekeeping & Concierge: The service from the ground staff is exceptional. The Bangladeshi staff members are incredibly kind, sweet, and genuinely wonderful people who elevate the stay.
Great Breakfast Experience: The breakfast team does a fantastic job. The live omelet station and the pancake/waffle station are definitive highlights.
Abundant Dining Options: You are completely spoiled for choice. The hotel is literally opposite Hardee's, KFC, and Karak Express. Al Tazaj is nearby, alongside great cafes like Brew 92 for high-quality coffee.
The Cons: Dated Infrastructure & Front Desk Friction
Aging & Faulty Bathrooms: While the hotel looks grand from the outside, the interior infrastructure is noticeably old. Even after changing rooms twice, the bathrooms had major design and maintenance issues:
Severe water leakage across the entire floor every time you shower (whether in a bathtub or regular shower setup), resulting in a constantly wet room.
Cramped layout where the commode is practically at the brink of the bathroom door, leaving almost no space.
Visible mold in the toilets.
Unhelpful Reception Staff: The front desk team lacks friendliness and clear communication.
Late Check-Out Hassles: Despite booking a guaranteed 6:00 PM late check-out via Trip.com, the hotel refused to fully honor it. It required tedious coordination with 3-4 different staff members just to get a slight extension past the standard 12:00 PM slot.
Final Thoughts
While Millennium hotels are generally convenient for airport access, the internal wear-and-tear here is tough to ignore. It remains a solid option solely for its proximity to the Holy Mosque, but at this premium price point, you can likely find newer, better-maintained properties in Madinah.

I was really impressed with the hotel, location and the friendliness of the staff. The hotel was very clean and always had a pleasant smell all the time. Rooms were very spacious, even the bathroom was very big. Room had a safe, ironing board and tge complementary tea, coffee and water bottles, which I thought was a nice touch.
Staff were very friendly, both the housekeeping and on reception. Always made you feel welcome and always offering to help. There are 4 lifts, which are quite fast but during peak times can take a while to get in and out of them. But to work around that, you just leave earier for prayers, Masjid Nabawi is less than 5 minutes away, so location was excellent and you have all eatery close by.
