Al Ansar Golden Tulip Hotel is a budget hotel in Markazia (Bada'ah), about 700 m in a straight line from Masjid an-Nabawi. The 14-floor hotel is described as a short walk from the mosque; reviews mention slow lifts and dated bathrooms. Most guests walk to prayers; allow extra time at peak prayer hours when the plaza is crowded. Hotel stays are open to all visitors with a valid visa, while the mosque precinct is restricted to Muslims.
Al Ansar Golden Tulip Hotel is a budget hotel on Abd Al-Rahman bin Awf Street in the Bada'ah area of Markazia, central Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It lies about 700 m in a straight line from Masjid an-Nabawi and is described as a short walk from the mosque. Most guests walk to prayers, and the route is slowest around the five daily prayers, when the plaza and approach streets are crowded.
The hotel is a 14-floor tower in a district full of similar pilgrim lodging, shops and restaurants. It carries the Golden Tulip name, a hospitality brand with several properties in Madinah, but guest reviews paint a modest picture: they mention slow lifts and dated bathrooms. With 14 floors and heavy demand around prayer times, lift waits are a realistic consideration, and guests with mobility concerns may prefer lower floors.
Rooms are air-conditioned, with double or twin rooms, family rooms and suites typical of the category; availability of specific types should be confirmed at booking. A restaurant is listed among the amenities, giving an on-site meal option, and guests should confirm what is served and whether breakfast is included. Many other restaurants and cafes operate on the surrounding streets. No spa, pool or gym is listed.
Service character is basic and value-focused, suited to pilgrims and groups who prioritise price and distance over finish. Typical rates run from roughly SAR 190 to 450 (about $50-120) per room per night in October 2026 listings, with Ramadan, Hajj and school-holiday prices far higher. Hotel stays are open to all visitors with a valid visa, while the mosque precinct is restricted to Muslims.
