Elaf Quba Hotel

Elaf Quba Hotel is a budget hotel on Quba Avenue in the Al Mughaisilah district of Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It is about 0.9 km in a straight line from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque), which is a longer walk than at the central hotels, so many guests take a short taxi ride or walk in the cooler hours. Quba Avenue runs south towards the Quba Mosque, the first mosque in Islam, and the hotel's position makes visits to that mosque convenient. The district is quieter and less congested than the streets around the Prophet's Mosque, with local shops and eateries serving residents and visitors. The hotel belongs to the Elaf group, which operates several properties in Madinah, and its character is simple and practical, aimed at pilgrims on Umrah, families and budget-conscious travellers who prefer lower rates to proximity. Rooms are air-conditioned and the building has lifts. Room types include double or twin rooms, with family rooms listed as an option to confirm when booking. Dining is normally centred on a restaurant or breakfast service, and guests who plan to attend dawn prayers should confirm opening times. Reception is generally staffed around the clock. A pool, spa or fitness centre is not confirmed here, and a budget property of this kind should not be expected to offer them. Service typically covers luggage handling, transport arrangements and local advice on prayer times and visits. Typical rates run from about SAR 150 to SAR 450 per room per night in ordinary weeks, with higher prices in Ramadan, the Hajj season and school holidays, when even budget rooms become scarce. The saving compared with the central towers can be substantial, which suits larger families and groups travelling on a tight budget. Mount Uhud and the Madinah date markets are reachable by taxi or by organised visits arranged locally.
