In short: Ask for the current route to the relevant women’s access, not just a hotel-to-mosque distance.
Be precise about what “near” means
Hotel descriptions can measure proximity to a boundary or a general entrance. If a convenient route for women matters to your party, request the actual path to the access they will use. Ask for the landmark, courtyard access and mosque door to be distinguished.
Do not treat a familiar gate number as a permanent guarantee. Confirm arrangements closer to your travel dates and follow current on-site instructions. This guide does not publish a fixed access map because routes may change.
Consider the route at your pace
Look at crossings, surfaces, shade where available, and how the return trip works. A short distance can still feel difficult after a long day or in a crowd. If someone needs a mobility aid, confirm the route’s suitability rather than inferring it from a photograph.
Think about whether women in the party want to return independently to the room. A convenient arrangement for the person paying may not be the most suitable one for the rest of the family.
Put the requirement in the quote request
Use wording such as: “Please explain the current walking route from this hotel to women’s prayer access, including the relevant landmarks.” Keep that answer alongside the quotation. Also ask about room layout, meals and pickup access so that one convenient feature does not hide another practical problem.
