Gulnar Taiba Hotel

Gulnar Taiba Hotel is a budget hotel on Abdulla Bin Rawaha Street in the Bani Khidrah district of central Madinah, Saudi Arabia, about 390 m in a straight line from Masjid an-Nabawi. It sits in the Bani Khidrah blocks south-east of the mosque, in the close walking ring, so the plaza gates and the Al-Baqi cemetery direction are within an easy walk. The surrounding streets are dense with hotels, shops, cafes and money changers. The Haramain high-speed rail station and Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport are several kilometres away and are reached by taxi, ride-hailing or arranged transfer. Taiba is one of the traditional names of Madinah, and the hotel is a modest property in the central belt with a practical, pilgrim-oriented character rather than a resort atmosphere. Rooms are air-conditioned and served by lifts. Typical categories include double or twin rooms, family rooms and suites, with availability to be confirmed at booking. Breakfast is listed as an option to confirm at booking, so guests should check whether it is included in the rate and what time it starts, particularly for pre-dawn prayers. The surrounding streets hold many small restaurants, bakeries and cafes serving inexpensive Arabic, South Asian and Turkish food, which suits travellers on a tight budget. No spa, pool or fitness facilities are confirmed in the available listings. Service is practical, covering luggage, transport and prayer-time logistics, and the hotel suits families, groups and independent travellers who value proximity and price over extra amenities. October 2026 listings put rates at roughly SAR 170 to 450 per night, rising sharply in Ramadan, the Hajj season and school holidays, when budget hotels near the mosque sell out early. Hotel stays are open to all visitors with a valid visa, while the mosque precinct is restricted to Muslims.
