Golden Tulip Al Shakreen

Located just steps from the sacred Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the Golden Tulip Al Shakreen offers a highly convenient base for UK pilgrims travelling with Travelshokk. With rooms furnished for comfort, free WiFi, tea/coffee facilities, a restaurant and 24-hour front desk, the hotel meets the core needs of Umrah travellers. While it doesn’t offer ultra-luxury, its unbeatable location and strong value make it a smart pick for our standard and value-tier Medina packages.

For those seeking space, premium finishes or resort-style services, we can also offer upgrade options to higher-star hotels in the region.

Pros

• Outstanding location: Being almost right next to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is a huge advantage for Umrah/pilgrimage travellers — minimal walking time, especially helpful for early prayers or late-night visits. 

• Good set of basic amenities: Free WiFi, air-conditioning, in-room tea/coffee, minibar, restaurant and gym available — covering the core needs of pilgrims. 

• Value for money: Though not luxury five-star, its location and amenities make it a practical choice for those looking for reasonable cost combined with excellent access to the Mosque.

• Well-suited for group bookings: With numerous rooms and suites, plus a central location, it can be integrated into your Umrah packages from the UK under Travelshokk.

Cons

• Rooms may be relatively small / less luxurious: Some reviews highlight that although rooms are comfortable, they are not as spacious or high-end as more premium hotels. 

• Service / condition inconsistencies: Some guests mention that while the location is superb, aspects like housekeeping, maintenance, or general condition of rooms could be improved. 

• Compact room bathroom layouts: A few mentions that the bathroom and shower layout may feel tight or less refined compared to upscale hotels. 

• Not full luxury: For pilgrims whose priority is premium luxury (spa, large rooms, deluxe furnishings) this hotel might not meet those high expectations.
