My stay at the Mövenpick Anwar Al Madinah was a mix of excellent elite benefits and some initial operational friction. Upon arrival, the check-in process was a bit complicated; the main reception was unable to process my request to use Accor Live Limitless (ALL) points for the booking, stating they couldn't see the option. I was redirected to the dedicated Accor member desk, where the staff eventually agreed to the deduction after consulting with colleagues. It’s a great property, but as a Gold member, I found that you really need to know your benefits and be persistent to ensure they are applied correctly. ​The logistics of getting into the room also required some patience. I was told the room wasn't quite ready and that I would be contacted as soon as it was available, but unfortunately, no call ever came. I eventually returned to the desk myself after the Asr prayer to successfully finalize the check-in. On the positive side, my Accor Gold status was ultimately recognized with a room upgrade, and the view from the room was truly fantastic. It’s a solid room product that makes the wait feel worth it once you are finally settled in. ​In terms of location, the hotel is well-situated, though it is worth noting for fellow travelers that it involves a slight detour to reach the Haram gates when compared to the more direct path from the Sofitel Shahd Al Madinah. While the walk is manageable, those prioritizing the absolute shortest distance might notice the difference. Overall, it’s a high-quality hotel with excellent views and strong status recognition, provided you don't mind navigating some initial communication gaps at the front desk. Read less

Exceptional Service from Joud at the ALL Accor Desk I would like to sincerely thank Joud at the ALL Accor Desk at Anwar Al Madinah Mövenpick Hotel for her outstanding service. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, professional, and extremely attentive. As an ALL Gold member, we truly felt valued. Joud went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and arranged a fantastic room upgrade for us, which made our stay even more special. Her efficiency, kindness, and genuine willingness to assist reflect the highest level of hospitality. She handled everything smoothly and made the entire check-in experience effortless. Staff members like Joud are a true asset to the hotel and a perfect example of what excellent customer service should be. Highly appreciated and strongly recommended. Read less

Overall, a very convenient place to stay. The check-in process was smooth and easy, and the staff at reception and checkout were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The location is definitely one of the biggest advantages. It’s extremely close to the mosque near Gate 327, literally less than a five-minute walk. There are also small stores right outside the hotel on both sides, and if you cross the road you’ll find food places and other shops as well. The room had all the basic essentials and was comfortable overall. We also had suhoor included in our stay, and it was very good with a lot of variety. Definitely recommended. They also offer paid parking at 5 SAR per hour, which is helpful if you’re driving. As for the downsides, the room key card system was quite faulty. The slot where you insert the card to unlock the door often didn’t work properly. It sometimes took many attempts to get it to switch from red to green, and I remember spending a couple of minutes just trying to enter the room. The housekeeping indicator and doorbell system were also not functioning properly. The standard has dropped a bit compared to before, but overall, considering the location and convenience, it’s still a good option for visitors. Read less

Overall great location, walking distance from Masjid Nabwi, there’s a mall located in basement, restaurant and breakfast is top notch. Salama from reception was exceptional. The cleaning staff was so efficient and the restaurant staff was always going above and beyond esp during Ramadan sahoor when there was limited time. They were running around offering chai and water or juice to everyone. Their kindness did not go unnoticed. Would stay here again. Read less

Our stay was truly satisfying. We were pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade and received a beautiful view of Masjid Nabawi. Thank you to Mr. Salama for the warm and welcoming hospitality. Alhamdulillah, our worship experience was very comfortable as the hotel provides very close access to the women’s entrance of Masjid Nabawi. The food at Al Salam Restaurant was also excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options, complemented by a stunning view of Masjid Nabawi. We will definitely choose Al Anwar Mövenpick Hotel again whenever we stay in Madinah. Read less

I honestly have no idea how this hotel has a 5 star rating . It doesn't even deserve 1 star. Everything about the hotel is vintage , old , mouldy , broken , worn out . From the beds , bathrooms , towels , elevators it all needs to be renewed. It's so bad that i feel there is no hope , they need to demolish and build a new hotel . The only thing that kept me there was i could not get a refund and the breakfast was good , good waiters , good clean food , nice view Read less

We had a very disappointing stay at the Mövenpick Hotel. Although it’s rated as a 5-star property, our experience felt more like a 1-star. We booked three rooms for the family and paid a significant amount, but the service and conditions were far below expectations. Some of the issues we faced: 1. The toilet had leaks and an unpleasant odor. 2. Reception staff were unhelpful, especially when it came to resolving a card blockage issue. 3. Chairs in the reception area were very dirty. 4. The porter (bagagiste) openly asked for money and gifts, which felt highly unprofessional. 5. We had elderly guests in our group who needed assistance, but when help was required, no one from the staff came forward. 6. The shower door was broken when asked the housekeeping to fix it no one came. Overall, we would rate this experience 1/10. We do not recommend this hotel and will certainly not be returning. The high rating (4.5 stars on Google) does not reflect the reality we encountered. You may wish to try it for yourself and form your own opinion, but for us, it was the worst hotel experience we’ve had. Read less

Our stay at the Mövenpick was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in a prime location, the hotel offers convenient access to everything one could wish for—whether it’s the spiritual serenity of nearby holy sites or the ease of reaching restaurants, shopping centers, and local attractions. The surroundings are vibrant yet peaceful, making it the perfect retreat after a long day. What truly made our experience unforgettable, however, was the warm welcome and outstanding service provided by Mr. Khaled at the reception. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel genuinely cared for. His professionalism, patience, and attentiveness went far beyond expectations. Whether it was assisting with check-in, offering helpful tips about the area, or ensuring we were comfortable throughout our stay, Mr. Khaled's hospitality left a lasting impression. It's rare to come across someone so dedicated to guest satisfaction, and he truly represents the heart and soul of Mövenpick. Because of him, our stay felt more personal, more comfortable, and more memorable. Highly recommended—not just for the excellent location and amenities, but for the exceptional people like Mr. Khaled who make you feel at home. We’ll definitely return! Read less

I had a reservation for two rooms: one with a large bed and another with two separate beds. However, when I arrived, the receptionist mistakenly gave me a room with four beds. I explained that it wasn’t what I had booked and asked her to correct it. After waiting for about 10 minutes, she told me she couldn’t do anything because many people were waiting — which left me feeling disappointed and exhausted. Luckily, another staff member who was sitting in the manager’s office noticed me and came over to ask if she could help. I explained my situation to her, and she immediately took care of everything with professionalism and kindness. She corrected the mistake and gave us exactly the rooms we had reserved. Her calm and respectful attitude made a big difference… even my niece was happy and excited to speak with her. Although I don’t know her name, I truly appreciate her help. She’s a great example of someone who respects her work and the guests, and she turned a negative experience into a very positive one. Thank you.. Read less

It's fine but a 5-star hotel, this ain't. It's fine if all you need is a comfy bed to sleep in and a clean room to relax in. It's not luxury but it's good. The room feels awfully dim because of the lack of any lights in the ceiling. But I can tell they put in the work to keep it clean so that's good. Read less

Very disappointed with the hotel. Definitely not 5 star standard. I would rate this hotel overall 3 star. The room space is very tight. Furniture is very out dated and looks tacky and cluttered. On arrival, floor looked dirty, like it hadn't been hoovered in so many days. Bed sheets were stained and pillow had a big boggie on it 🤢. The next day, house keeping came to the room. We asked them to do the usual cleaning and to change the bed sheets. We also reported the blocked sink. They quickly unblocked the sink, gave us some water bottles and toilet rolls then sprayed air freshener in the room and left. We had to call them back, and asked them to change the covers. The cleaners were not happy about this. They showed so much attitude like they did not want to be doing their job even though we we were so nice to them and did not even complain about all the mess and dirt in our room. This is not the kind of service we expect from a 5 star hotel. Read less

The only thing going for the place is location. The room was dirty all beds had to be changed because they had visible black marks which even the staff couldnt deny. The flushes constantly stop working. maintainence staff doesnt show up to fix it. they expect you to stay in your room the entire day so they can do basic bathroom maintainence at a random time of their choosing. After starting the process from approx 7 am of complaining about the bathroom at 10 in the night i had a break down. Mr Khalid the manager was patronizing and rude. other guests had to step in to help with getting me some attention. important to note arabic speaking men spoke up because that was the only way mr khalid gave any attention. This by far has been a horrible stay. one comes for prayer and peace all i got was racism and sexism from mr khalid and his team. There are many more hotels in this area dont waste your spiritual journey by staying here. Read less

Only thing this hotel is going for itself is location. Otherwise rooms are way past showing their age. Restaurant food is mediocre at best. Just edible and no change in menu. You're paying for the location. Not worth the extra cost. I'd recommend the Hilton or Dar El taqwa. Less people and better service and rooms. Read less

Considering the reputation and the price I paid for my stay, I had expected a higher level of service and attention to detail. Unfortunately, these issues with the air conditioning, side lamp, and TV reception left me disappointed. In conclusion, my experience at this well-known hotel was far from what I had anticipated. The malfunctioning air conditioning system, faulty side lamp, and poor TV channel reception significantly impacted the quality of my stay. I hope that my feedback is taken seriously by the hotel management, and they work towards enhancing their services to provide a more enjoyable experience for their guests in the future. Read less

Food was good. Service at reception was excellent. We had to change room as the first room was very dirty. The second room was much better and cleaner. The room Service was kind of good.. had to search for them the whole day just to give toothbrush and towels. In the morning at around 7.30,we pressed the button to clean our room, we came back at 14.00, the room was still not cleaned! Apart from 2 sockets, none worked. We had to wait to charge our phones Read less

Excellent overall experience, would recommend. The check-in, check-out was efficient. The hotel staff was also kind and accommodated our room request for adjoining rooms on shorter notice. Rooms were clean, properly air-conditioned, good amenities. The breakfast buffet also offered a variety of food. Location was convenient and very quick to use elevators to exit and enter. Only thing was one room was quite cold and the thermostat could not be adjusted, but did not detract from comfort much. Insh’Allah would choose to stay here next time as well. Read less

The only good thing about this property is the location. The rest everything makes it even less than 3 star hotel. Room was super dirty and was so smelly. Beds were so much uncomfortable. Bathrooms were having such a disgusting smell. Only cigarette 🚬 smell was keep coming everywhere. There's no towel in the washroom. Upon asking the Housekeeping team working in the corridors they said, what to do it's supervisor mistake he didn't check the room. Check in process was so time taking even though there's no rush. Only 1 person was ahead of us but the staff was so "lazy" and was not paying attention. Check in staff didn't provide us with the room keys / card and asked the bell boy to drop us to the room. Bell boy opened the room with the master key and handed over the same to us - upon asking why master key, he smiled and went out of the room. At the time of Check-out, the lady at the reception was shocked to see the master key and asked me how come I've that key - I explained all this to her. Other than its great location, I didn't find any single value for money about this hotel. If anyone from the management side wants to discuss more; I'm happy to share more as well. Read less

The hotel location is priceless. Very close to the mosque, especially the women entrance. Rooms are spacious and super clean. Staff are super friendly and professional. I could not gave more than 2 stars because of the following: 1- room furniture's are old and aged. 2- toilets seems poorly maintained. 3- During breakfast, the served orange juice was expired. I informed the staff at the restaurant two times few minutes apart and kept watching and waiting for their action to remove the juice containers but they didn't. 4- shower cabin was too small. 5- the hotel strangely designed for small size short Asian guests. I am not that tall guy! I am 190 cm tall. The ceiling height is low i could touch the ceiling while walking in the hotel corridors. I had to really bow down to open the door as the door knob is close to my knees. Toilet basin and commod were very low. Read less
