Swiss international Taba Alsalam

✓ The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is very convenient for the Masjid Nabawi. The room was small but comfortable. The breakfast at the hotel was delicious. X There were only about 5 or 6 channels available on the TV, and one of those was only for an advertisement for the hotel played endlessly in a loop. Due to the time of the year (Eid al-Adha), the car park was full and the streets around the hotel were congested which made it impossible to park anywhere near the hotel.

Wouldn't recommend for family stay. Very small rooms, even hard to move within a room. Can't even lay a prayer mat in room. Maintenance issues with toilet accessories, room door lock and wardrobe. Housekeeper cleaned toilet and tea cups in same mode without wearing gloves. No good restaurant near hotel and hotel's breakfast is below average. Price per night is too high compared to the facilities. If you accompanying with old aged people, don't take risk to stay there, location is also not convenient for elderly people.

Worst stay ever.. The exhaust fan wasn’t working in the washroom, even after complaining multiple times no one came to fix it.. The room was too small, no place to put luggage.. There was no room service for 3 days.. The intercom wasn’t working I guess as no one picked up the call.. The porter (man who helps with the luggage) was very rude and he really had a bad time messing up with me as he thought I don’t know how to speak in English, lol. 2 stars are only for location as the hotel was close to 320 gate.

Not very clean as expected and we had many mosquitoes inside our room my sons got mosquito bites all over the skin. Behavior of the receptionist was also very rude and unpolite. Only location was near.

We booked a room in this hotel for a group of three. The hotel located nearly 500 meters from the main entrance of Almasjid Alnabawi but luckily the open yard is less than 70 meters away. The lobby is nice however it's not spacious when it gets crowded. There is a small coffee shop in the lobby area and some seatings in the waiting area . The room is comfortable with a wide-screen TV and a kettle and a small fridge. The area of the room isn't that spacious and the window is tiny however it's practical for guests whom spend their day outside the hotel. They do have a restaurant with open buffet and room service however they are limited in the menu options. The staff at the reception and housekeeping are courteous and helpful . The cons I have are that you need to call many times before they answer and elevators are not enough to accommodate the guests when the hotel is fully booked. Overall, we had a nice stay and this hotel is a good option if someone looks for a bargain.
