AI Overview

Al Shourfa New Hotel appears to be a simple budget property in the Badaah area of Madinah, east to east-southeast of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi.
The hotel’s own online footprint is weak, but multiple aggregator references place it close enough to be realistically walkable for most pilgrims.
Based on the supplied coordinates and mosque-area mapping, the practical walking distance is likely around 780 meters to a nearby mosque access point for men, which is roughly 10 minutes at an ordinary pilgrim pace.
For women, a more suitable route to the documented women’s gates is slightly longer, so a conservative estimate is about 900 meters or 12 minutes.
This hotel is better suited to pilgrims who prioritize budget and basic proximity over polished amenities.
I found no strong, trustworthy review base for this exact property on major booking platforms, so comfort, cleanliness, and service should be assumed modest rather than strongly proven.
Transport-wise, the hotel is in the standard airport-to-Haram corridor used by many Madinah visitors.
For most arrivals, taxi or app-based transport should be straightforward, while daily mosque access is close enough that many pilgrims would not need hotel shuttle service even if one is not advertised.

What guests say

Verified review coverage for this specific hotel is very thin. Aggregator listings consistently place it as a basic 3-star budget stay near Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, with Wi‑Fi and a restaurant/lobby mentioned, but I could not verify a dependable Booking.com, Google, or TripAdvisor review corpus for sentiment analysis. Because of that, the review summary and score should be treated cautiously.

Short walk to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi
Budget-oriented stay

Insufficient verified recent reviews for this exact property

Pilgrim tips

  • 1.Approach the mosque from the east-southeast side; Bab Jibreel is the most plausible closest men’s access point from this location.
  • 2.Women going for prayer or salam will usually find Gates 24, 25, and 26 practical because these are documented women-access gates on the northern-eastern side.
  • 3.Allow extra time after Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha because the final approach around the mosque courtyards can be slower than the raw walking distance suggests.
  • 4.If traveling with elderly pilgrims, the route is still walkable but heat and crowd density can make the 10 to 12 minute walk feel longer; use a taxi at peak heat.
  • 5.Because accessibility details are unclear and no elevator/wheelchair info was verified, families with wheelchairs should confirm directly with the hotel before booking.

Worship & getting around

🚗 ~25 min from the airport

I could not verify an in-hotel musalla or Haram-view rooms from reliable current sources. Listing data only mentions standard hotel facilities such as restaurant, lobby area, and Wi‑Fi.

Taxis and ride-hailing are available in Madinah, and the airport officially mentions Uber plus shuttle connections toward the Prophet’s Mosque area.
