AI Overview

Al Andalus Palace 1 Hotel Haram appears to now be marketed in some listings as Manazel AlSafiyah, at the same Saad bin Obada, Bani Khidrah address.
Its strongest pilgrim advantage is location: multiple hotel pages place it roughly 500 meters or less from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, and the supplied coordinates suggest an even shorter straight-line distance, so a realistic walking route is still only a few minutes.
For male pilgrims, this is clearly a walking-distance hotel and is suitable for frequent daily returns between prayers.
The southern side of the mosque is the natural access side from this address, and As-Salam Gate is the most plausible nearby men’s landmark gate based on the hotel’s position south of the mosque.
For women, the location is also favorable because the hotel sits near the southern/eastern access side used by many female worshippers.
Current web sources consistently point to women’s access around the Othman Bin Affan gate cluster, especially Gates 24 to 26, though gate operations can vary during crowd management, so pilgrims should still follow on-site staff and signage.
The trade-off is hotel quality.
Available review evidence indicates a below-average stay standard, with complaints about cleanliness, room condition, maintenance, and service appearing more often than praise.
This makes it better suited to budget-conscious pilgrims who prioritize nearness to the Haram over room comfort.

What guests say

5.8/10

Review sentiment is mixed to poor overall. The most consistent positive is the very short walk to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. Repeated complaints across hotel listing/aggregator pages focus on weak cleanliness, small rooms, dated condition, slow reception/service, and maintenance issues such as poor air conditioning or leaking water.

Very close to the Prophet's Mosque
Central Madinah location is convenient for prayers
Basic stay works for short pilgrim visits focused on mosque access
Cleanliness complaints are frequent
Rooms are reported as small and tired
Service/reception responsiveness is often criticized
Maintenance issues mentioned, including air conditioning and water leakage

Pilgrim tips

  • 1.For men, the practical target is the southern mosque side; the hotel is close enough that walking is usually faster than waiting for a car.
  • 2.For women, Othman Bin Affan Gates 24 to 26 are the most relevant nearby women’s entrances on current maps; allow extra time at peak salah periods.
  • 3.Because the hotel appears to have mixed cleanliness and maintenance feedback, inspect the room immediately at check-in, especially bathroom leakage, air conditioning, and bedding.
  • 4.If traveling with elderly pilgrims or wheelchairs, the route is short but courtyard congestion after fard prayers can slow movement more than distance suggests.
  • 5.Food options are nearby but the area gets crowded before and after prayers, so buying water and light snacks earlier in the day is sensible.

Worship & getting around

🚗 ~34 min from the airport

I could not verify a dedicated in-hotel musalla or confirmed Haram-view rooms from reliable current sources. The main prayer advantage is proximity: the hotel is in the central southern area near the mosque, so most pilgrims will simply walk for congregational prayers.

Taxis and ride-hailing should be readily available in the Central Madinah hotel zone, especially around prayer times and main roads, but waits can increase immediately after salah.
