Al-Ansar Golden Tulip Hotel

Al-Ansar Golden Tulip Hotel is a mid-range hotel on Abd Al-Rahman bin Awf Street in the Markazia (Central Area) of Badaah, Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It lies about 0.6 km in a straight line from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque), and most guests walk to prayers. The name Al-Ansar recalls the residents of Madinah who welcomed the Prophet, and the hotel is a member of the Golden Tulip brand, an international mid-market chain. The central Badaah streets around it hold shops, restaurants and pilgrim services, so most daily needs are within a short walk. The hotel has a comfortable, businesslike character and serves pilgrims on Umrah, families and independent visitors who want a recognisable brand at a moderate price. Rooms are air-conditioned and the building has lifts. Room types include double or twin rooms, with family rooms and suites listed as options to confirm when booking. Dining is normally centred on a restaurant or breakfast service, and guests attending dawn prayers should check opening times. Reception is generally staffed around the clock, which suits group arrivals and late flights. A pool, spa or fitness centre is not confirmed here, and guests who need those facilities should check the current listing. Service typically covers luggage handling, transport arrangements and advice on prayer times and visits. Typical rates run from about SAR 250 to SAR 800 per room per night in ordinary weeks, with higher prices during Ramadan, the Hajj season and school holidays, when central hotels book out early. The position offers a good balance between distance and cost: the walk is a little longer than for the towers beside the mosque, but rates are noticeably lower. Quba Mosque, Mount Uhud and the Madinah date markets can be reached by taxi or by organised visits.
