Grand Plaza Badr Al-Maqam Hotel

Grand Plaza Badr Al-Maqam Hotel is a budget hotel on Zaid ibn Thabit Street in the Markazia (Central Area) of Badaah, Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It lies about 0.4 km in a straight line from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque), and most guests walk to prayers, which is an unusually short distance for a hotel at this price level. The streets of central Badaah around it hold shops, restaurants and pilgrim services, and they become very crowded around prayer times, so pedestrians should allow extra time. The character of the hotel is simple and practical, aimed at pilgrims on Umrah, families and groups who prefer to spend little on accommodation and most of their time at the mosque. 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, which suits late arrivals and group check-ins. 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 120 to SAR 400 per room per night in ordinary weeks, with substantially higher prices in Ramadan, the Hajj season and school holidays, when central budget rooms are among the first to sell out. The combination of a short walk and low rates makes the hotel attractive to elderly guests and large families on a limited budget. Quba Mosque, Mount Uhud and the Madinah markets are reachable by taxi or by organised visits arranged locally.
