Golden Tulip Al-Shakreen Hotel

Golden Tulip Al-Shakreen Hotel is a mid-range hotel at 2665 Abdulaziz Bin Saleh Street in the Bani Khidrah district of Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It is about 0.5 km in a straight line from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque), and most guests walk to prayers. Bani Khidrah lies on the southern side of the mosque district, towards Quba Road, so the hotel suits visitors who want to combine daily prayers with visits to the Quba Mosque, a short taxi ride away. The streets here are generally calmer than the blocks directly facing the mosque, while still offering shops, restaurants and pilgrim services within walking distance. As a Golden Tulip property the hotel belongs to an international mid-market brand, and its character is that of a dependable hotel for pilgrims on Umrah, families and independent travellers rather than a luxury destination. 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 confirm opening times. Reception is generally staffed around the clock. A pool, spa or fitness centre is not confirmed here, so 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 750 per room per night in ordinary weeks, with higher prices in Ramadan, the Hajj season and school holidays. The combination of a reasonable walk, lower rates and quieter surroundings makes the hotel a sensible choice for budget-conscious pilgrims who still want a recognised brand. Mount Uhud and the Madinah date markets can be reached by taxi or by organised visits arranged locally.
