Midan Hotel

The rooms and the service are nice but the restaurant needs more attention

The hotel location is not walking distance from Haram but only 4-5 mins by taxi, so not far. The room I stayed was good with decent size. Nice decor with refrigerator, small sink, tea kettle. Bathroom was clean with necessary toiletries provided. The hotel corridors were spacious giving a good vibe. The in hotel restaurant was very good. Food was delicious. Breakfast was included in my package. There was small pool for the kids, so added advantage if you have small kids. Price range for one night stay was very reasonable. Overall I was very pleased for my short time stay.

I booked through Agoda but when I reached the hotel, they said they are not accepting bookings through Agoda and I had to pay more and book the room again. I have no idea why the hotel is showing in Agoda when they are not accepting the reservations through the website??!!! The hotel shuttle drops you at safa marwa bus stop which is a long walk to Abdul Aziz gate. The taxis charge 20 riyals to Haram but they ask for 40-50-60-80 on the way back to hotel after taraweeh. The best option is to take taxi to Haram and catch a free bus from Haram (bab abdul aziz) to aziziyah jonubiyah (south) immediately after taraweeh is complete. The buses drops you near the hotel. The basement parking is 50riyals per day. You may find a free spot in some alley behind the hotel. The hotel is grand. The rooms are spacious and clean. Toilets are a bit small. There is a barber shop close by which is very crowded at times. Don’t expect any restaurants near the hotel. Over all I liked my stay.

Good location, away from the crowd, 5 minutes by car/taxi to haram and holy place. The property is well maintained with reasons rates and it’s a new building well maintained
