Rotana Al Mesk Hotel

Rotana Al Mesk Hotel is a budget hotel on Al-Haytham bin Abi Sinan Street, off Abdul Mohsen bin Abdul Aziz Road, in the Bani Khidrah district of Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It is about 370 m in a straight line from Masjid an-Nabawi and is described as near Haram Gate 25, with spacious rooms and shops nearby. The position in the close walking ring south-west of the mosque means most guests reach the courtyards on foot in about five to ten minutes. Airport and Haramain railway station transfers are by taxi or ride-hailing.

The hotel is a practical property aimed at pilgrims who want a low price and a short walk. Despite the Rotana name, which is also used by a larger regional hotel group, this listing is classed as a budget hotel with an unverified star class, so visitors should check the current brand and rating at booking. The vibe is functional and focused on location. Rooms are air-conditioned and the building has lift access, and the spacious rooms are a point in its favour. Room types follow the usual double or twin, family and suite pattern.

Breakfast is listed as an amenity but should be confirmed at booking, since inclusion differs between rates. Shops nearby sell dates, prayer items and snacks, and the surrounding Bani Khidrah streets have restaurants and bakeries, so inexpensive meals are easy to find. No spa, pool or fitness centre is listed, which is normal for the category.

The service character is basic and group friendly, with a front desk used to handling pilgrims. Rates are typically SAR 130-375 per room per night in October 2026 listings, among the lowest in the central area, with much higher prices during Ramadan, the Hajj season and school holidays. Hotel stays are open to all visitors with a valid visa, while the mosque precinct is restricted to Muslims. Visitors should allow extra time at peak prayer hours when the plaza is crowded.
