Medina stay
We were here for two nights, the service is excellent, breakfast is excellent and 1 min walk to the Mosque. The hotel could use an update for the price i paid, but the service more then made up for it.

The room was nice and the amenities were good. Breakfast buffet was also quite good. Although I've stayed at a similar hotel with slightly wider variety.
