Excellent Location, but Customer Service Needs Improvement
*************, I really appreciate this hotel, especially for its excellent location right next to Masjid al-Nabawi, the Mosque of the Prophet ﷺ. Being so close to the mosque is a wonderful experience and makes it very convenient for prayer. You can hear the adhan and the beautiful Qur’an recitation from the mosque, which makes the stay especially peaceful and meaningful.
However, I was disappointed with the level of service. The room service and housekeeping were quite poor. When I arrived, there were no towels or tissues in the room, and I had to ask for them. The hotel also advertised complimentary water when I booked online, but no water was provided.
I also asked at the reception desk about the water, but unfortunately, the staff member I spoke with did not handle the situation very professionally. I felt as though my concern was being ignored, and the way it was addressed made me feel as if the situation was somehow my fault. In my opinion, the reception staff need more training in customer service and in dealing with guests’ concerns politely and professionally.
Overall, I would still appreciate and recommend this hotel mainly because of its excellent location next to Masjid al-Nabawi ﷺ and the beautiful experience of being able to hear the adhan and Qur’an recitation. However, the hotel really needs to improve its housekeeping, room service, and reception/customer service. With better attention to these areas, this could be an excellent hotel in every respect.
