Review evidence found under the names Meshal Hotel Al Salam and Meshal Al Medina Hotel indicates a budget hotel used by Umrah groups. The strongest repeated positive is proximity to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, while the most repeated negatives are inconsistent cleanliness, very small bathrooms, maintenance issues such as air conditioning, and slow or uneven service.

• 1.For men, the most practical target is the western/south-western mosque side via Bab as-Salam because the hotel sits on the Al Salam side corridor.
• 2.For women, Gates 24 to 26 are the most relevant numbered entrances on this side; allow extra time during busy prayer periods because screening and crowd flow can slow entry.
• 3.If traveling with elderly family, the route is still walkable but congestion after fard prayers can make the last few hundred meters tiring.
• 4.Because lifts are reported as small, avoid checking out exactly at prayer rush times if you have multiple bags.
• 5.Use a landmark on Al Salam Road when returning, as nearby budget hotels have similar names and facades.

Worship & getting around

No reliable source was found confirming an in-hotel musalla or Haram-view rooms. Given the hotel's likely position south-west of the mosque and modest 3-star profile, pilgrims should not assume mosque-view rooms unless the hotel confirms directly.

Taxis are readily available in the central Madinah area and from Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport.
