Info
Summary of reviewsAraek Taiba Hotel enjoys high praise primarily for its enviable location. Guests frequently highlight its close proximity to the Haram, emphasizing that it is just a few minutes' walk from the Prophet's Mosque. The hotel's advantageous location, directly in front of significant gates like gate 322 and gate 320 and close to the women's prayer hall, is deemed perfect for those visiting Masjid al-Nabawi. This convenience, coupled with nearby fast-food places and cafes, makes Araek Taiba Hotel a strategic and budget-friendly choice for many visitors. The strong appeal largely revolves around the hotel's unbeatable proximity to the holy site.
However, the rooms at Araek Taiba Hotel significantly detract from the overall guest experience. They are often described as very small, cramped and in desperate need of maintenance and better cleanliness. Guests report numerous issues, including broken or malfunctioning amenities, dirty sheets, odors of smoke and infested rooms. Worn-out furniture, unclean bathrooms and insufficient room service add to their dissatisfaction. The general upkeep of the rooms is lacking with recurring problems in basic facilities and soundproofing posing added discomfort.
Cleanliness is a persistent problem with many guests noting dirty and odorous carpets, worn-out furniture and unsatisfactory bedding conditions. Bathrooms are frequently described as unsanitary with blocked drains and poor hygiene standards. Housekeeping services are often inadequate with reports of dust, dirt and insects in the rooms further deterring potential visitors.
The staff at Araek Taiba Hotel receive mixed reviews. While some guests found certain staff members quite helpful and polite, others noted unprofessional and rude behavior, particularly among receptionists. Instances of poor treatment, especially towards women and general inefficiency and lack of proper training among the staff also paint a worrying picture.
In terms of amenities, the hotel offers reliable WiFi connectivity in common areas, although guests report a significant gap in service in the rooms. Parking is another mixed aspect; while it is free and available both in front of the hotel and underground, the spots are limited and can be hard to find during peak times.
The feedback on the beds is similarly varied. While some guests found them comfortable, many others noted that the mattresses are old and uncomfortable with springs causing discomfort. Cleanliness of the bedding is a recurring issue with complaints about dirty and noisy conditions further exacerbating the cramped room space.
In summary, Araek Taiba Hotel's main strength lies in its excellent location close to the Haram, which is highly valued by guests. However, significant improvements in room conditions, cleanliness and overall service quality are necessary to elevate the guest experience and match the promise of its prime location.
