Good location, Russian-speaking and pleasant receptionist, large room, clean. The window in the room cannot be fully opened, they give only 2 towels for two, the breakfasts are very simple, they don't even give butter...

The hotel has advantages: excellent location, near the sea, large rooms, take a free bus through the Sharjah shopping center, to Dubai (Deira). They also give beach towels, clean every day!!!There is no balcony, there is nowhere to dry swimsuits, etc.Cons - rooms that have access to the road are very noisy, those who have problems sleeping, ask immediately that the windows do not face the road. The second disadvantage is the food. Previously, we were also in the 4th (Crystal Plaza Al ma Jazz in Sharjah), so there is something to compare it with. I tried a lot of dishes from them. The variety is very large, everything was insanely delicious. In Al Bustan, the breakfasts are very poor.. If you don't eat Arabic sausages, then there is nothing to eat. Well, if only the eggs.Lunches and dinners are ordinary, without any variety from the word at all. But they are cooked well (chicken and beef always).My conclusion is a 3-star hotel.

I'll make a reservation that we didn't find fault, we weren't used to living in luxury, but we were just shocked here. Fall for 4 stars. The hotel got tired about 10-15 years ago. The furniture is old, dark, and creaking. The rooms are small, dark, damp, the bathroom is mildewed, cracked tiles are all around, faucets are broken, and in some rooms water flows from the ceiling. It is very unpleasant to wash in such a dirty place. There are shaving kits, toothbrushes with paste, shampoo and lotions. The hair dryer in our room did not work. But it was also scary to pick it up. There is a safe in the room, it is free. Yes, cockroaches really walk, they were personally seen at the distribution. The food is tasteless and monotonous. I do not know who finds what there, but it is very rare to have a delicious meal. The cheapest instant coffee, instant powder juices. All forks are bent. The dishes are gray, but once they were white. But there is also no bar where you can buy a normal coffee for money. We went to the nearest cafes and supermarkets, ate there. Opposite McDonald's, you can have coffee in the morning. Therefore, I recommend going without power. For a fee, you can always have lunch at the hotel if you want to experiment. The cleaning is strange, I had to ask at the reception. There was no sign in the room - do you need cleaning or not. At the request to give such a sign, the hotel did not find it superfluous. At the beginning, they gave out two large towels, I had to ask for an additional hand towel and a towel on the floor, as well as, only on request, disposable slippers and bathrobes. The hangers in the bathroom are also mildewed. It is very unpleasant to hang white towels on such hangers. There is a swimming pool on the roof, but it is very old, the tiles are falling off, it has not been working from its parts for a long time. In general, the roof is dirty, there is garbage everywhere, no one cleans it, steers are lying around, empty bottles, sun beds and chairs are broken. The tables are old and dirty. It is very fastidious to be there. There is a sauna, but it only works in the women's section, but everything is bad there too. There is an old smelling carpet in the corridors of the hotel. Beach towels are provided at the reception. Al Khan beach is within walking distance. The main contingent of the hotel is retired people. All Russians, foreigners will never come there. Therefore, it's a shame for compatriots - firstly, these are queues for food, they grab with their hands from common plates, put themselves a few plates of watermelon so that the rest do not get it, and then leave all this unfinished. We really saw the struggle for fish between women. Basically, people put huge plates on it, all this is then thrown away, and someone did not get this or that dish. Plus, everyone is satisfied with this state of the hotel, why make repairs, change broken deck chairs, cook efficiently, if the flow of Russian tourists flows anyway and everyone writes good reviews. Personally, we were shocked, very disgusted, dirty and unpleasant....

I recommend. We arrived in the morning at 6.30 a.m. local time. We were invited to breakfast, and after breakfast we were checked in immediately, although we only checked in at 2 p.m. Friendly staff. The atmosphere of the hotel is good, you can say homely. The rooms are not 5+ and the food is good, we were always full, but you get tired on the third day from the monotony, but this was not the most important thing for us. The most important thing was the sea, and it was just around the corner, 5 minutes from the hotel and visible from the roof, where there is also a swimming pool. And the sea, or rather the Persian Gulf with its excellent Al Khan beach, pleased us. White sand and warm sea at the end of December, that's what we needed. The vacation went by with a bang.

They were from October 21-26, 2024. I liked almost everything. The sea (bay) is within walking distance.That's +31! But to wash off the sand, before leaving, it was necessary to go to the end of the beach. Usually they put a shower before going out.The food was monotonous, but we weren't hungry. It's a pity that coffee and drinks could only be drunk during meals (or for breakfast, lunch or dinner) There are air conditioners everywhere.
The room was clean, cleaned every day, although there was often only hot water in the shower. We survived it! At the reception, a Russian-speaking girl (woman) copes with any question perfectly!
I recommend it!
P. S. Do not swim in glasses! We lost them.(as it turned out, we are not the only ones...)

We are currently vacationing at this hotel. Honestly, we went to the UAE not for shopping, but for the sea.... Therefore, the proximity to the beach was important. We took only breakfast, the tour cost 111p. the breakfasts are meager, if you wish, you can have lunch and dinner at the hotel, the cost is 40 dirh per person. the main advantage of this hotel is its proximity to the beach. This is where all the advantages end. There is no balcony in the room and the window is small, which does not fully open. It is unrealistically difficult to dry things.
But the staff and the hotel receptionist are friendly and try to help. There are a lot of cafes and supermarkets around the hotel, where you can have a delicious meal for two with a maximum of 100-130 dirhams. The portions are very large, quite 1 serving can be enough for 2 people (then 50-65dirh will come out)

We rested from October 10 to October 17, 2024. Excellent staff, cleaning every day, changing towels every other day, the hotel itself is not modern and there are no balconies for drying things, but the room is very large and spacious, the bathroom has a bathtub, hairdryer, all accessories. In the hallway there is a comfortable wardrobe, kettle, iron, board. A hair dryer and a blackboard are not very comfortable, but a powerful air conditioner, always hot water, free Wi-Fi and an adapter for charging the phone was given at the reception and 1 more was in the room. It is a 6-minute walk to the beach, the only thing is to cross the road , but we did not see any difficulties in this, the sandy beach is ideal. There are cafes, shops nearby, everything is convenient. A large selection of excursions, we monitored the prices and took a Sail in the lobby of the hotel, agent Karim was there and he organized everything perfectly, they accompanied us from and to us, fed us well and liked the program. They were also able to pay in rubles. Dollars are also exchanged for dirhams in the lobby of the hotel and in the supermarket across the street.

Ouch..There are no bedbugs, etc. in the room.
But...
1) a knock at 9 a.m. for cleaning..awesome.there is no paper to disturb (an Indian woman sits at the reception and when necessary, she doesn't understand a word of Russian)
Also, the door does not lock, given the percentage of failures in India, etc., this is negligence.
They put up a chair to sleep peacefully at night
2)The food is peculiar, I liked the fish in batter the most-if there were no shops, we would be hungry.
If I wanted a cafe in my room, I would have gone to Sochi.
3) for the first time in my life, I was reproached with a piece of bread in a hotel
I've been to various hotels and they never say you took too much and didn 't finish it ..And it's not the first time you've done this.
And it's not even the restaurant director who said hahahahah
I didn't keep quiet either.
The food varies from day to day, one day it's a delicious omelet, the other it's not
I understand that people are starving where the staff is from, but flying up and demanding an account from the guests who PAID for this meal is the height of indecency.
Anyway... there's a CFS and a MAC nearby.Thanks to them
It's easier to rent an apartment through the website and also relax.
P.S. if you take excursions, take them through Olga (a red-haired chubby girl), I highly recommend it

Nice quiet hotel for family holidays. We were accommodated on the 3rd floor with 321 rooms, a large room, 3 beds. The window is small and faces the wall, but you can't hear the road. The neighbors across the street complained that the road was very noisy and they had 2 beds. Not suitable for light sleepers.

We just arrived home, rested for a week at this hotel, so I will write the most recent review. The hotel is small, 4 floors. The rooms are quite simple, not new! But everything you need is there: a hair dryer, an ironing board and an iron, a TV, mirrors, bathrobes, soap accessories and toothbrushes, shower gels and shampoos are updated every day. Towels are also changed every day. And every day they bring 2 bottles of 0.5 water to the room. The air conditioner in our room worked perfectly in all modes, they put a car on at night. There is a safe, it is free. There is no balcony, I'll tell you right away. It is almost impossible to dry things in the room. You can hang things by the handles of windows on the street, as long as nothing falls. Or you can hang things on chairs on the roof, where they will dry quickly. Roof (letter R on the elevator) : it has a swimming pool , 6 sun loungers, chairs. We went to the pool a couple of times to swim when the sea was stormy and there was a red flag. Nutrition: eggs, sausages, yogurt, cheese, salad for breakfast, there are cereals and muffins with jam. Lunches and dinners are more varied: soups, fish, beef, chicken, a couple of side dishes to choose from and salads. Drinks always include water, juice, tea bags and instant coffee. Personally, I was satisfied with the food, we took breakfast and dinner. Dinner can always be changed to lunch if desired. It is also possible to book a tour with three meals a day. But we didn't need it, because there are shops nearby, there are fruits, ice cream, cheeses and milk - just enough. Al khan beach is very close, there are sun beds (10 dirhams) and umbrellas (30 dirhams). But we didn't use them, we spread a rug on the sand, like most people. The most comfortable hours for the beach are to go immediately after breakfast at 7:30 and relax there until 11 o'clock. And then from 15:30 to 18:30 (sunset around 18:00). By the way, do not take beach towels, they are given at the reception, at least several times a day, take them and hand them over. In general, the hotel staff are very friendly, they will always help and answer all questions. And another point: Sharjah is the most sober area in the emirates. You will not find alcohol here during the day with fire, so shop well in the dutik. There is a McDonald's in front of the hotel, behind it there are cafes and the SAID TOURS tour bureau a little to the left. We took excursions here. And they can be paid by transfer from a Russian card. We went to Dubai twice for a sightseeing and evening boat trip around the Dubai Marina. And we also took jeep safaris in the desert. We liked everything very much, there are a lot of emotions. I heartily recommend it. For our first acquaintance with the Emirates, we liked this hotel and its location. If you plan to travel to other emirates yourself, do not mess with transport, order a taxi right away. It's not expensive here, this is one time, and it won't be as painful as walking an hour to the bus station in the heat, and then making several more transfers. About the currency: here only with dollars. You can change them for dirhams either upon arrival at the airport or at any supermarket: you give them dollars - they give you change in dirhams. They count at the normal rate of 3.6. I hope my review was useful! Hugging everyone!

Terrible service.
There is a do not disturb tag on the door, the child is asleep, no, he will ring the bell to wake everyone up, and several times.
Towels are such a common thing, but they are not there, they take them away and do not give them until you ask.
You come from the beach, and your towels are taken away from you and you need to ask them to give you back to wash after the salt.
The pool type is under renovation, it looks like it's just abandoned forever, no one is doing anything.
Room cleaning is just about sweeping and making the bed
And the fact that the legs stick is nonsense.
Wifi on the TV constantly stops working, and in all rooms on the floor.
They take you to the beach once a day at 9 a.m. and only until 12 p.m., what prevents you from making another flight after lunch?
Lunch is generally a separate topic.
Breakfast is more or less the same thing, but not bad.
I didn't take lunches, and for some reason I had dinners at the hotel opposite, but only for 3 days, after that they canceled without warning and started carrying boxes with the same contents to the room, faintly similar to dinner (

The location of the hotel is convenient in terms of a few minutes walk to the beach (running across the street is not a problem).There is also a supermarket nearby..Nesto.(normal prices and there are a lot of fruits), Sharjah Museum, aquarium. From the hotel there is a daily free shuttle service to the shopping centers of Sharjah and Dubai (from Deira you can take the metro to the Dubai Mall). According to nutrition, you can easily change dinner for lunch, fruits only for lunch, breakfast is very modest, lunch and dinner are the same except for fruits, monotonous, but delicious. The rooms are spacious and the sound insulation is good.Comfortable beds, clean linen and towels daily. Tea set and a bottle of water per day per person, iron, beach towels. Friendly staff, change dollars for dirhams at the reception. Minus worn-out communications and noise from the street (near the road), those who came to sleep off and stay in the room a lot are not here. The excursions were taken at the hotel, the Russian girl Natalia is very friendly, tells everything in detail and shows, cheaper than the guide. The excursions went well, everyone liked them. A normal hotel, left a good impression.

The location is good, close to the sea, I liked the beach, white sand, swing.
We also settled in quickly, despite the fact that we arrived early in the morning before breakfast. The room was given a very large, 2-room for three.
The hotel itself is very average, everything is old, not modern, the furniture is stripped, a cockroach was immediately found in the bedside table.
Towels were given only large ones, neither for hands nor feet were given. They say we should ask, but we didn't.
The food is of course very poor, this is the first time we have seen this. Even there are very few tables with distribution. We took breakfast and dinner. For breakfast, eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages, tomato cucumber salad, feta cheese, 1 type of porridge, but it's not tasty, bread, pita bread toasts, cupcakes of the same kind all the time.
There are no pastries, croissants and other things, no yoghurts, no fruits, sausage, cheese...
Pancakes come every other day, they are also peculiar, but you can eat.
Dinner is a little better, chicken, meat, stewed, 2 side dishes to choose from, often spicy, as always salads of tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, soup (by the way, not bad). Cakes of 2-3 types.
Of course, you can eat by yourself, it's more difficult with children. Especially if they are small.
There is no fruit for dinner either.
There is a swimming pool on the roof, but everything is also so old, not well maintained, the sauna did not work.
The hotel has several transfers to the shopping center.

Those who go for the delights of food, pass by... The food is delicious, you will not be hungry. A good 4*. The sea is nearby. We had a family vacation in January of the 24th year. The staff is polite, the room is cleaned every day. Changing towels, updating cosmetics. Everything was fine. From food every day, beef, chicken, fish, vegetables and fruits, pastries, ice cream, cakes, juices, tea, coffee, salads, several options, two types of first courses. Of course there are no lobsters, shrimps and other things... The pool is cold. They write that there is heating, but they have never warmed up in a week. It takes 5-7 minutes by walking to the sea. It's not an expensive store on the way. Souvenirs, food, drinks, ice cream, cosmetics and household chemicals, swimwear and towels. The prices are reasonable. It is better to pay in dirhams. It is better to change money from the guides. They will not be deceived. The hotel has a kiosk in Faye with inexpensive trips, cheaper than the guides. Enjoy your stay!!!

We had a rest in December 2024. First, about the cons. The rooms were old and dirty, and cockroaches periodically ran through them, so they left their suitcases in the cold on arrival so as not to bring them home. They are poorly cleaned. But they constantly replenish shampoo, soap, etc. Every day they leave 2 0.5 liters of drinking water. The food is certainly not like in Turkey, but we were quite satisfied. For lunch and dinner, there is always meat, chicken, deep-fried fish, side dishes, sweets. They always replenished it in a timely manner if something ran out. We had breakfast and dinner. But you can come either for lunch or dinner, you don't need to warn anyone. We went on an excursion once and didn't have time for dinner, we talked at the reception and the next day we went for lunch and dinner. The woman speaks Russian at the reception desk and tries to solve any problems quickly. They also exchange dollars for dirhams, but the exchange rate is not profitable. It is better in exchangers. In general, it is more profitable to buy dirhams in Russia, and you can use them to buy excursions. The hotel is very conveniently located. Not far from the sea, within walking distance to the central embankment, singing fountains, fish and clothing markets, etc. We walked every day to new locations. The beach is paid for by locals, tourists are allowed in for free. There is a shower and a changing room near the end of the beach. The beach and the sea are clean, cleaned daily. We liked the hotel guide, she told us where and what to see, and we bought 3 excursions from her (a sightseeing tour of Dubai, a boat trip to Oman, and a jeep ride in the desert) We liked Dubai and the boat in Oman, but the guides were weak (I compare them with trains in other countries). If you go on a boat, then immediately take a pill for motion sickness, which is given on the ship, because it shakes a lot and it was very bad for three tourists, and it's too late to take pills when the condition worsened. A trip to the desert by jeep was not inspiring at all, compared to the same excursion in Egypt, but if you have the time and money, then you can go. The food is good on all excursions. At the hotel, the woman bought an excursion to the flower park and the global Village exhibition. She organized everything very quickly. The driver drove the two of us along the route, waiting everywhere. Her tour cost $50, while others cost from $70. The park and the exhibition are simply gorgeous, I advise you to visit. Alcohol is not sold in Sharjah, but you can take up to 2 liters with you. We took it with us. We drank in the evening in the room. If you need to buy alcohol, you can go to the neighboring emirate, the hotel guide will tell you how to do it right. There are several Russian channels on TV, and the hotel has good internet access. There are several cafes nearby, and the portions are large. On average, we had 60-80 dirhams for dinner for two people. We bought groceries at the supermarket, which is located behind the automobile bridge (if you leave the hotel and go to the left, near the mosque you have to go under the bridge and straight for another 100 meters). Prices are mostly higher than in Russia. We took a free bus from the hotel to the mall, but the prices there are higher than ours, and you won't see anything new there. A waste of time. If it weren't for cockroaches and poor cleaning, the score would have been higher. But considering the cost, compared to other hotels, we will assume that it is normal.

In general, this is a three-star hotel. There is no beach of its own, but go to the public one across the street. There is no kitchen of its own either - food is brought. Food - again, somewhere between 2-3 stars. There is no such variety, but you will not be hungry. Everything was delicious. It is better to come right to the beginning of the meal. Because sometimes there is no blue vine, it was gone after 15 minutes. The linen was changed once in 7 days. And we personally constantly forgot to report one towel))

The hotel is not bad, but it is already tired:-) It definitely doesn't pull in 4 stars when compared with others.
The staff is very friendly. The food is good. I liked everything except for some disadvantages of the repair. The room has very small windows that work only in window mode. The laminate was swollen in places and was screwed on with screws :). The rooftop pool is in great need of renovation. Half of the tiles fell off. There are very few sun beds and there are no umbrellas or sunshades. A big plus is the convenient location. Not far from the beach. There is a small shop along the way where you can buy everything you need. There are also a lot of cafes with reasonable prices.

An adult and two children had a rest from 7.10-14.10. I expected more than I got) the hotel itself is clean inside and the room is cleaned daily, including towels, soap accessories were also changed on a daily basis, the room is so-so without a balcony, it is certainly not convenient, I had to dry things in the pool. The hotel does not have any territory, i.e. this numerous traffic of cars came out at once, the construction sites are endless...The food is ordinary, soups, porridges are delicious, side dishes are delicious, salads are mostly vegetables and lettuce leaves, desserts, fruits are just watermelons and that's it, we are not picky, we did not stay hungry, but for 7 days we got bored of course. The sea is very gorgeous, but as the tour operator told me, what is on the first line, for me the representation of the first line, it left the hotel and you are at the sea, but here it turned out to be 7-10 minutes on foot, umbrellas and deck chairs are paid on the beach, towels are given to the beach at the reception-very good. The guide at the Ramil hotel is Russian-speaking, very wonderful, offers great excursions at attractive prices, will tell you everything and tell you, for excursions, contact only him!!!! Children are bored there, there are zero animations, children's playgrounds are also not provided, krh holidays with children are only Turkey)!!!

I have never seen a dirtier hotel in the UAE. The women's sauna and shower haven't been cleaned since the hotel was built. Mostly Russian tourists spend their holidays there, apparently on tour packages. The breakfast is more or less decent. The reception staff is responsive. The beach can be reached on foot. The water in the pool is very cold. And about 10 sun beds for the entire hotel. And the number of towels in the pool is limited, often not enough for everyone.

A good hotel for your money!! 7 minutes walk to the beach, there's a shop nearby, and Mac is across the street (he helped us out a couple of times). There is a Russian-speaking employee at the reception. Special thanks to the travel agent who received the applications on May: She told us about the excursions and we immediately paid for an excursion to Oman and the trail. a day in Dubai- we were very satisfied (we recommend it to everyone)!
Of the cons: the garbage next to the entrance - when you go to the sea, you constantly pass by it and are blown away by the smell. I don't understand why it can't be moved away from the road ... there are a lot of cafes in the area, but we didn't dare to eat in them - we found a chic restaurant 10 minutes away on the embankment (Amphitheater building)! The rooms are normal, but I met a cockroach on the toilet, the water in the sink is hard to drain. One of the disadvantages is that the pool and sauna (on the roof) are only open until 19:00 - I really wanted to swim in the pool in the evening, but we constantly did not have time…
Overall, we were satisfied with the hotel! For this money, for the UAE, you should not be too capricious about simple breakfasts, etc. - take at least two or three times more expensive)))

I liked the Al Bustan 4* hotel in general. The room stock is old, of course, in need of repair. Beds-mattresses-pillows – comfortable. The plumbing is old, but everything worked properly, the water was always hot. Cleaning was carried out daily, quite efficiently. Water, shampoos, soap, toilet paper, shower gels, tea-coffee-sugar were left daily. Towels were changed daily. The bed linen was changed after 3 days. The reception staff is very polite and pleasant, everyone understands Russian or English. The breakfasts were quite hearty, tea-coffee-juice. It was a 3-5-minute walk to the beach, beach towels were provided at the reception and you could take an umbrella from the sun. The beach is free, gorgeous, the open sea is as desired.

The food is monotonous, but you can eat. We didn't starve. There is no balcony. One window in the room is small, dark and stuffy. You can open it, but the hotel is on the road - it's noisy at night.
Rooftop pool: no umbrellas. It was hot during the day.
But it's ten minutes to the sea and the hotel is not expensive.
The repair is tired, you need to take water at lunch in a cooler.
In general, it is normal if you are not picky.

We had a rest in October 2024 from 10 to 23.
1. The food is very tasty, but monotonous.
2. I met bugs in the room in bed twice, I attach a photo. I don't know what kind of creatures, I didn't find any information on the Internet.
3. Advantages! Free Wi-Fi, free safe, free refrigerator, free water. There is a kettle in the room, you can drink tea, 2 tea bags are put in a day. Soap prenatal conditions are replenished. The room is large and cozy. The hair dryer is terrible- but not critical. It stank in the room Kurov tk got a smoking room, there is no balcony.
4. The sea is gorgeous. We have never swum so much because the water is very comfortable and clean.
5. Excursions. Our guide has a lot of money. There are two shops with guided tours on the 1st floor. They take everything from a Russian woman and we took it. There is also an Armenian, I don't know his nationality for sure, that's not the point, he got into the board, violated the chain of command, they couldn't look at him anymore.
6. Free transportation from the hotel to Sharjah, to the shopping center. There, across the street (through the passage), we went to the adidas store and next to the skechers. We bought cheap original sneakers. Cheap skechers for women on the 2nd floor at the very end of the hall. I bought myself a skechers for 2600, my husband 2 pairs of adidas a little more expensive. Very cool. Even if you walk to the mosque in the evening, there are singing fountains, very beautiful, goosebumps.
7. We went to Dubai ourselves, first by river tram, from the hotel there is a stop about 10 minutes walk away, then we got off and next to the metro. It turned out to be a very interesting trip. You can drive yourself wherever you want, everything is clear and cheaper than taking an excursion. The locals help and suggest, given that we do not even know English, we communicated in sign language or an interpreter helped us communicate.
8. I really liked the people in this country, they are very friendly and helpful. Thank you for your hospitality!
9. Clothes-we went in ordinary clothes, more closed. Everyone dresses modestly compared to a vacation in Egypt, for example. One adult, "hungry" woman came to breakfast in a thong and a tulle wrap on top, we almost threw up. We still did not understand what this was about at a breakfast in a city hotel.
10. A cat comes to the hotel in the evening, hungry (asks to eat, if anyone has the opportunity to feed his tummy, do not pass by!
11. We took a taxi to the market in Sharjah, bought 1 kg of shrimp and tuna steak, 3000 rubles cost with grilling (in the same place) and a taxi to the hotel. I am attaching a photo
12. The photo shows the schedule of the free bus.
13 In the city, if you want to change money a little more profitable than in a hotel, take a passport or a photo on your phone. They don't change it without it.
14. There are 2 dirhams of ice cream in front of McDonald's. The store is very expensive.
15. There is not enough dryer in the room. There are small clothes in the shower, but they do not dry, they are wet.
16. We bought a WB adapter for an outlet, but they say at the reception they give it for free.

Our favorite hotel. We've been there 3 times already. The location is great. They take you to all sorts of places, including Dubai. The food is tolerable, with care so that the guests do not overeat))) the main thing is that it is close to the sea on foot. The McDuck opposite will be completed soon, the ice cream is 2 dirhams each) You can walk to the embankment, the aquarium is nearby. In general, I like it. And, for souvenirs, I recommend a shop near the Sharjah city center. There are all prices from 1 to 20 dirhams. Something like a traffic light, only a much larger assortment, the prices are really fucking cheap, even with our dollar exchange rate.

It's not very nutritious, but the proximity to the bay and the excellent staff brightens everything up. There are many shops and supermarkets nearby.

The hotel is clean, located five minutes from the Persian Gulf, but across the street. The hotel itself is beautiful, lots of flowers. The food is not varied, but everything is delicious. The staff responds quickly to any request. The room itself is large, we got a two-room one. There are several mosques nearby. There is a swimming pool and sauna on the roof of the hotel. Nearby shops

We were at the hotel on vacation November 2023, the sea is super +30, the sand is super, there is no snorkeling- there are small fish and no corals, there are locker rooms and showers for free, entrance to the Alkhan beach for albustan is free, everything else on the beach is paid, beach towels were given out at the reception every day and a beach umbrella was given out 1 time for the entire period stay. There are volleyball nets on the beach, you can play for free. The disadvantage is that the rescuers do not let you swim in a storm, they whistle disgustingly and shout "shit, shit", they themselves are shit, and we were so happy at first. In Egypt that year there was a red flag on vacation all the time, so there was fun on the waves to ride. In the hotel, the usual Breakfasts are continental Europe, dined in the surrounding restaurants and KFS, in the hotel the food is much more expensive. There is a free bus from the hotel to Dubai, Sharjah and the Sahara Mall. There is no point in buying anything, the prices are either like unas or much more expensive. It is interesting to go only to Dubai, they drop off just at the metro station 16 stop of the red line and go to Burjhalifa to the 25th stop, there are 14 derhem / person. A variety of fruits and ice cream - prices are affordable. Yes, the rooms in the hotel are sub-commissioned, and as a builder I see that the crooked finishers were originally built, hence the shoals in further operation. We were in room 336 - the windows were not tightly closed - I had my own taped with paper, the noise from the street became less; the drain from the bathroom and sink for some reason was tied to a drain drain in the floor, its valve stuck and there were decent puddles; there was no makeup mirror, it was invisible to shave. There is hot water, but it is necessary to drain the cold one. On the roof there is a great swimming pool with views of the sea and the city. The sauna is only 100-110gr, not enough, but if you put it on the stones, it's already good, and I carry eucalyptus oil with me, so I sweated a lot.The disadvantage is that the roof is closed at 21:00.Next to the hotel there is an oceanarium with a museum, very interesting. I was struck by the fact that the ancient beggars Arabs screwed the keel bar with bolts and nuts. Guided tours for an ordinary family with children are fabulously expensive in dollars, Fuad's hotel guide is 20-40% cheaper, but they are still skins, and Dmitry Korelovsky guide is also rude, and children are being robbed - as holidays so prices are being lifted up (I think because of this the hotel was empty than travel agencies think, it's unclear. As the holidays ended, children began to appear, but they need to study!)) and on purely children's excursions to attractions, etc. parks are interesting only to children, adults are only accompanying, so they take money from everyone, horseradish them walrus and not dollars, they sent them through the woods, went to the sights by self-propelled for derhems, everything is nearby, saved a lot of money and more interesting. Mango 5 derhem / kg was taken in the shops of the Carlton hotel, it is nearby, the Syrian from Homs Muraf, he has very good candies and dates, the only thing he does not change the greens and does not bargain absolutely, even unpleasant, but you can confuse. His Egyptian neighbor Ali has a test souvenir from Luxor, if we talk, we can bargain on the price and change the greens at 3.60, not 3.5. In general, I really liked the 9-night tour.

We stayed at this hotel in October 2024.
The hotel positions itself as a 4-star
But judging by the repair of the rooms and the food, it would be fair to give it 3 stars.
The rooms are clean, but all the furniture in them is tired, to put it mildly, it is clear that as the hotel was built in 2008, as they bought all the furniture in the same year, nothing was changed.
If, like us, you prefer only to sleep in the room, then this option will suit you. Smoking is allowed in the room, even there are ashtrays that are changed every day, cleaning and changing towels also every day, toothbrushes are changed every day, shampoos, shower gels, soap and toilet paper are put on.
There is a swimming pool on the roof of the hotel, which is closed at night, we went there once, just to look. A small pool, not half working, exists purely for show.
The most important advantage of this hotel is walking distance to the beach, when people are taken by buses from other hotels, it takes 5 minutes to walk
There are also 2 grocery stores nearby, souvenirs are also there, prices are more than adequate, but it's better to buy in the city, it's cheaper there.
The food at the hotel is delicious, but the variety of the menu suffers
There is nothing more from drinks, including coffee and 2 types of tea, water and ONE type of juice, multifruit.
The menu is also standard for other meals
There is always one kind of soup
Always chicken or fish
And simple side dishes
Salads and desserts are always the same
In principle, the hotel is not bad
And all the disadvantages are blocked by walking distance to the beach
And if you are tired of eating
There are 2 restaurants nearby
And there are many cafes on the other side of the road
Including McDonald's
And you can walk all the way to Sharjah and eat

The beach is nearby, which is of course a plus. The food is monotonous, the rooms are tired, if comfort is the main thing for you, choose another hotel. The room service did not disappoint, they bring water and change towels every day.

The location is very convenient, a few minutes walk to the beach. There is a daily free shuttle service from the hotel to the shopping malls of Sharjah and Dubai. The food is good. Comfortable beds, clean linen and towels. A tea set and a bottle of water per day per person. Friendly staff. The only drawback is worn-out communications and repairs would not hurt.

We are currently staying at this hotel. They took it only solely because of its proximity to the bay. There is no food at all, there is no cheese or sausage for breakfast, to my surprise, there is not even butter to spread a bun for a child. The rooms are filthy, and the rooftop pool is dirty.

It was 13-22.12.23. Budget city hotel. The sea is 7 minutes away. across the road with safety islands in the middle. The beach is paid, for hotel guests free of charge with a voucher. White clean sand, within a radius of 200 m. toilet, shower, further Playground. Towels and umbrellas are provided at the hotel. Next to it there are cafes, a shop, an aquarium, and in 40 minutes you can walk to interesting places in the center. I walked around the Caricature map. The hotel has a large cozy lobby with a dedicated dining area. The 2nd beautifully decorated floor is for Arabs, there is also a kitchen. The 3rd and 4th floors are for tourists, mostly Russian-speaking. There is a swimming pool on the roof (cold water) with sun loungers, there is a sauna. The rooms are huge. Bathrobes, slippers, and foot towels are available on request. There is a Russian-speaking Egyptian woman at the reception who helps solve problems. You can take a Cartoon card in Russian. Rooms are cleaned irregularly, sometimes you have to look for cleaners to get water, tea, bathroom accessories. The food is of high quality (there were no poisoning), but very monotonous. For breakfast, thin porridge, scrambled eggs, sausages with side dish, soft cottage cheese, tea, instant coffee. For lunch, salads, mashed soup, 2 side dishes, meat, chicken, fish, watermelon. We changed dinner for lunch, because there was no fruit in the evening. The advantage of the hotel: daily water in the room, and for lunch and dinner - tea, coffee, drink (this is not in all hotels). Free buses run from the hotel to shopping malls. Tour company guides, including the hotel guide, often give inaccurate information about the places of visit to lure tourists on excursions (for example, they promise 5 objects, but they take them only to three). Overall, the hotel left a good impression. Suggestions: to put table lamps (sconces), because the room is very dark due to small windows and dim overhead lighting; to give fruits also for dinner; to cook a variety of hot dishes (there were national dishes three times during our check-in)

A good hotel for your money, clean, good rooms, adequate staff. The main advantage is the sea and a cool beach 300 m away. The beach is paid, but admission is free for hotel guests. The food is a buffet, do not expect variety as in Turkey, but everything is high-quality and delicious, you will not stay hungry.

We are here now, on vacation. A 4* hotel does not pull at all. Upon arrival, no towels or water were put in the room... nothing. I had to go down to the reception, ask for😵. There are no windows in the rooms, except for a tiny window in the corner of the room. The hair dryer barely blows, it is very slippery on the bathroom floor (if water drips a little), the central air conditioner works and cools down very much, it does not decrease, you have to turn it off for a while, swimsuits do not dry overnight (humidity is high). You won't stay hungry in the restaurant, but the assortment is not great. Although everything is delicious. Walk to the beach 5-7 min. Admission is free on the beach, and umbrellas and sun beds are paid (50 dirhams per sunbed) (even for the shade from the umbrella they charge 🤨). But of course the sea is beautiful, the water is warm, clean; the weather is hot. It takes about 1 hour to walk to the center of Sharjah. You can walk there

the hotel itself is for two. Maybe when he was promised 4 stars, but now he is far from it.
Of the advantages:nice 1st floor, everything is nice and clean, Russian is spoken at the reception.
While reading the bed, towels and personal hygiene products (shampoo, shower gel) are changed daily.
Across the street is a McDonald's, on the left at a KFC gas station. There is a great and cheap Nesto supermarket within a 15-minute walk, which I highly recommend.
It is close to the beach, but there are no pedestrian crossings at all))
You can change dinner for lunch or on the contrary, if you only have two meals a day.
There is a beautiful woman Natalia, from whom you can book a cheap tour (on the same 1st floor).
And now let's move on to the cons:The bathroom is terrible. The bathroom is leaking, the water from under it flows to the floor, a rag is not provided for this situation. Icy or hot water flows from the shower, you have to wait a very long time. The floor is all scuffed, the drain is located incorrectly on it, and the water does not go away.
Be sure to take your own shampoo, because the one that is given at the hotel foams worse than shower gel, it is unrealistic to wash your hair with it.
Several times after cleaning, they forgot to put towels on, they had to look for cleaners to give them clean ones.
When the air conditioner is turned on, it stinks of smoking, how to get rid of it has not been figured out.
The beds are creaking, made of a material not intended for her.
A separate conversation is the rooftop pool. I have not seen anything scarier) the lamps are broken, there is no water in one of the 3 pools, only fragments of tiles. The sun beds are broken, the windows are broken, the pipes are in tattered covering. The floor is very dirty, literally 3 steps and your feet are black. You can see a room in which there is junk, namely different chairs, a once-working refrigerator and a broken tennis table.
The food is monotonous. Breakfast is always the same. Children will definitely not eat this. For lunch, they give a watermelon, which is quickly disassembled, and the staff does not always bring a new one. At dinner, fish and meat, as well as sweets for tea. But, in general, the food is not bad, although it is annoying.
Things don't dry at all, they hung a thread on the wall to help somehow. You can take a chance and hang swimsuits out of the window (which, by the way, is blowing).
Towels are given out torn, or they may not be given out at all, because there are not enough of them, so it's better to take at least one from home.
There is a big lack of a small lamp in the room, there is only the main light, but it's not too scary.
