AI Overview

Dar Al Salam Al Andalus Hotel appears to be a budget-to-midrange pilgrim hotel in the central western zone of Madinah, near Bab as-Salam.
Although several seller sites market it as about 150 meters from the mosque, that figure likely reflects distance to the mosque precinct or nearest side approach rather than a realistic door-to-gate walking route.
Using the supplied straight-line distance of about 586 meters and comparing it with third-party travel pages showing roughly 12 to 13 minutes on foot to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, a practical walking estimate is about 760 meters to the nearest men's approach and slightly longer for women.
That keeps it comfortably within normal walking range for most pilgrims.
The main advantage of this hotel is location, not luxury.
Accessible review data shows location is clearly its strongest feature, while cleanliness, bathrooms, room condition, and service are more mixed, so pilgrims choosing it should prioritize proximity over upscale comfort.
For Umrah visitors who plan to spend most of the day in the Haram and want a simpler hotel on the western side, it looks serviceable and convenient.
Families with elderly members can still manage it, but they should confirm room condition and elevator convenience before settling in.

What guests say

7.8/10

The strongest consistent positive is proximity to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, especially the western Bab as-Salam side. Review data that was accessible shows guests generally rate the location well, while complaints cluster around bathroom condition, cleanliness, older rooms, and inconsistent service. Public review coverage appears thin on Booking.com and TripAdvisor for this exact listing, so sentiment is weighted most heavily from Google Hotels.

Very close to the mosque / Bab as-Salam side
Good base for prayer-focused stays
Free Wi-Fi and free parking are commonly listed
Senior-friendly positioning is mentioned by Umrah-focused hotel sellers
Bathrooms are the most repeated weak point
Cleanliness is inconsistent
Rooms appear dated / basic
Service quality is mixed

Pilgrim tips

  • 1.This hotel is on the western Bab as-Salam side, so men going mainly for salam visits should find the approach convenient.
  • 2.Women should allow a little extra time than the men's nearest approach because the most suitable women's access point may not be exactly the same crowd flow at prayer times.
  • 3.Leave 10 to 15 minutes earlier for every fard prayer during peak periods because the last stretch near the mosque can slow significantly even when the hotel is close.
  • 4.If traveling with elderly pilgrims, ask for a lower-floor or elevator-near room because review signals suggest rooms are functional rather than luxurious.
  • 5.Because bathroom complaints recur in reviews, inspect the bathroom immediately at check-in and request a room change early if needed.
  • 6.For taxis to the airport, book through reception a little ahead of departure, especially after Fajr or in high-season Umrah periods.

Worship & getting around

🚗 ~24 min from the airport

I could not verify a dedicated in-hotel musalla or confirmed Haram-view room inventory from reliable accessible sources. Verified property features repeatedly listed include restaurant, 24-hour front desk, Wi-Fi, and multiple elevators.

Taxis should be easy to find because the hotel sits in the central western area near the mosque and on Omar Bin Al Khattab Road.
