Bosphorus Hotel Medina is a budget hotel on Assalam Gate Street in the Al Haram area of Markazia, on the Salam Gate side of Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It is about 660 m in a straight line from the mosque, and most guests walk to prayers. The approach is busiest around the five daily prayers, when the plaza and gates are crowded and extra time is advisable.
The street name refers to the Salam Gate, one of the best-known entrances to the Prophet's Mosque, which gives the location a recognisable orientation for visitors finding their way on foot. Detailed information on the hotel's architecture or history is limited, and the name suggests a Turkish-style identity, though guests should expect a functional pilgrim hotel rather than a themed one.
Listings describe about 140 rooms suited to groups and families, a smaller scale than many large towers nearby, which can make for a calmer lobby. Rooms are air-conditioned and served by lifts, and group and family rooms are listed alongside double or twin rooms and suites; availability of specific types should be confirmed at booking. Dining details are not firmly documented, so guests should confirm whether breakfast is included and what meals are served. Numerous restaurants and cafes operate in the surrounding streets. No spa or pool is listed.
Service character is practical and family-oriented, suited to pilgrim groups, tour parties and families seeking a low rate on the Salam Gate side. Typical rates run from roughly SAR 205 to 525 (about $55-140) 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.
