Elaf Taiba was chosen by me after reading the very first review on Trip Advisor and I must say that the location of the hotel is absolutely superb for the pilgrim who wants to spend time at the Prophet's (PBUH) Mosque in Medina and at the same time come back for a quick drink or change. The hotel is located... More

The hotel was smelly all the way to the room ! The quality of a 5 star hotel and cleanliness were just not there. However, I must say that the staff was very courteous. More

I love the friendly atmosphere of this hotel which is in a great location just 25m from Harem and some rooms have a view of The Green Dome. Breakfast is very decent with comfortable rooms and good room service. They are very helpful to accommodate large families and when you need a decent cup of coffee then go across the... More

It was a family visit. The location is very convenient a few steps from the Holy masjid. Service is average. Dinning rooms were not very clean. Tea, milk and coffee spilling over tables during breakfast. More

I really like it's proximity to the Mosque. it's situated at the rear of the mosque aout 100 yards from the entrance to the courtyard and the ladies... More

Prebooked and prepaid to avoid hassles on arrival (it was busy). Proximity to the Haram is its main selling point. Rooms on the small side, reasonably clean, if a little worn out. Beds were comfortable enough. Cleaning was regular, though requests for an iron sometimes got a slow response. No hot water in one bathroom. Buffet breakfast was quite good,... More
