  Un Meridien "particular"

  A pesar de que la entrada al hotel es acorde con lo que se puede esperar de un Meridien, al traspasar la puerta comienza la realidad y uno se da cuenta que únicamente la habitación se corresponde con un Meridien. El hotel no tiene absolutamente ninguna característica que podría tener un hotel de su categoría, ni gimnasio, ni piscina ni una zona exterior donde sentarse, ni un bar o restaurante interior minimamente decente. Como bar unicamente una barra con cuatro mesas en el hall de entrada que invita a no ir, debido a su situación. Cierto es que la habitación si que se corresponde con un hotel de cuatro o cinco estrellas con todo lo necesario para estar comodamente alojado, un baño amplio con bañera, una muy buena cama queen size, nevera, tv con canales europeos, armarios amplios... El personal es correcto, pero creo que para nada se le puede denominar como amable. Si no se es musulmán es la única opción de calidad posible en Medina por lo que como ya se ha comentado en otra crítica, es como una jaula de oro, pero en este caso de bronce, siendo generoso. El hotel se encuentra a 10 min. en taxi del centro de la ciudad, a 15-20 min del aeropuerto y a 10 min. a pie de una zona comercial completamente nueva con Mac Donalds, KFC, etc. hasta tiendas de lujo.

  Good hotel for holy city

  The hotel lies outside the haram = part forbidden to non muslims and therefore also non muslims can be accomodated here. It has a very good location on the main road from Al Ula and an easy turn off from the main road. Also if you are a muslim, the hotel has frequent shuttle service to Al haram area. Hotel itself is old. It has a feeling of 80s and I would say it should be radically refurbished. But then maybe local people like this style. Apart from this the stay was very pleasant. Good english at the reception, nice clean big rooms and huge areas for special venues. Hotel is quite popular for weddings and meetings I assume. The restaurant was opn when we arrived, it had a buffet dinner, there were only 3 people in so it was very quite. Generally the whole hotel was very quiet. There is free parking outside the hotel. As a member of Bonvoy I was immediately recognized and upgraded. Thanks!

  Short Stay

  The hotel is not clear from outside, you cant identify if it is a hotel or hospital, no clear signage, very dark inside and huge, not warm, the staff are good, we reached around 3:30am no one at the door, the sliding doors has a sticker on it, which doesnt allow any view to the lobby. Rooms are good, nice and clean, the bed is very comfortable. The overall stay is good.

  Spacious, Older Elegance

  We spent a week at this Le Meridian while on business. The staff is professional and quick to offer assistance. The facility is structured to hold many, many more people than were in town during our visit. In fact, it felt empty. There are grand ballrooms ready for large celebrations. The in hotel restaurant is very nice, with the most thoughtful and respectful serving staff. There is a mens only spa on the premise for an additional fee. Just across the street a new womens gym and health center has opened that is extraordinary. I believe its name translates to beautiful beasts when staying at the Le Meridian, access is free of charge. The age and condition of the hotel was disappointing. Our room had a very strong smoke smell. We had trouble with our air conditioning, toilet, bathroom plumbing and television while we were there. Most of the issues were not resolved during the 7 day stay. A variety of other mechanical things were in need of repair, including the elevators. The upgraded internet service quality was better than the basic, but still slow. The restaurant food quality and access to the womens gym were the best part of this stay.

  Great food, mediocre hotel

  The first impression that I got of this hotel is that the smell of fresh varnish was everywhere! Absolutely inescapable. It hit me as I entered through the hotel front doors, and it followed me everywhere. The room was fine, but the windows were facing the roof and the other side of the hotel, so I had to keep the curtains drawn at all times. The AC, even at the lowest setting, was creating a near-hurricane strength wind, which was blowing squarely in the direction of the bed. To make it worse, the air intake was somewhere in the kitchen because periodically I would smell various aromas of some delicious things. The soundproofing between the rooms is OK, but not so for the front door. On Friday evening there was a large gathering, probably 200+ people, who had dinner in the atrium on the first floor. And entrances to all rooms face the atrium, which I think, only amplified the noise. The gathering started around 10:30 pm and lasted until well after midnight. Needless to say that I did not get a good night's sleep. One thing that impressed me though, was the food in the hotel's restaurant. We had several breakfasts and lunches there. Every day there was a different spread of hot dishes suitable for a wide range of tastes.
