We arranged breakfasts -varied , delicious , cleaning every day, working refrigerator , TV, air conditioning .
Clean and pleasant bed linen .
The staff solves the issue with the adapter for the outlet easily -they insert our plug vertically , I attached the photo .
There are a lot of supermarkets and cafes around, the nearest McDonald's is quite close at 1.2 km, and the promenade for walking and sitting under palm trees is about 1.8 km away.
Of the minuses, there was an unpleasant encounter with 4 cockroaches specifically in room 1011, there were no bedbugs, thank God!
And the free transfer to the beach is a scam, because there are more people on this bus, which arrived not at 9, but at 9.15, there was also a second one, but the situation was the same. We found a way out - a taxi with an iron roof for 16-18 dirhams.

A good budget city hotel, we only had to sleep, hard mattresses, old furniture, but a great location, the very center is here, there are a lot of shops nearby, near the embankment, if you ask for a kettle, it's a 15-minute bus ride to the beach, but we had a transfer, it's a two-hour walk to the beach, and another disadvantage is the sockets, but no! And they are European! Therefore, you need to take an extension cord with you! By the way, all the rooms are different, as luck would have it, we talked with others and went to visit different mattresses everywhere! For me, on vacation, it is important to have a comfortable bed to sleep on, a good mattress) there is a nice small refrigerator in the room. There are no dishes at all, not even cups. In general, everything is fine, bathroom, hot water, air conditioning is all working) the room was cleaned every other day. The breakfasts are average and a little meager, but you won't stay hungry! And they only give us 2 large towels and 1 for our feet. In general, it's fine, quiet and calm)

A good hotel for 2*, I had a rest from 02/19/25. to 02/25.25. The reviews were different about it, a lot of bad ones, but in fact everything turned out to be even good. Excellent location, lots of cafes, shops, Mall, not far from the embankment, Trains, bus station. Beautiful lobby of the hotel. There was no Russian-speaking staff at the reception, and there are a lot of Russian tourists in the hotel. I stopped by early in the morning, checked in after 1 p.m., had a snack, changed my clothes in the toilet (clean), left my luggage at the reception and went to the beach by bus from the hotel (there were 2 buses). We returned before 12:00, asked to check in earlier, were not refused, settled. Room 1312 is large (there were no cockroaches or bedbugs), the furniture is old (but these are small things), the bed is comfortable, the bed is clean, snow-white, a small refrigerator, air conditioning, hairdryer, floor-length mirror, cosmetics (soap, shampoo, body balm, constantly replenished), towels 1 large, 1 It's small. There were dark spots in the bathtub, but I used slates and took my own adapter for the outlet. They gave me a kettle on request. I left the hotel for 3 days, changed the bed and towels. The breakfasts were good, the choice is not great, but it is quite sufficient. Side dish, delicious sausages, gravies with vegetables and legumes, porridge, muesli, milk, tea, coffee, vegetable salad, 1 type of dessert, eggs, toast, pastries, butter, jam, fruit was only watermelon. As a result, I was pleased with the hotel.

A normal hotel for 2 stars. Among the advantages: good location (there are many shops and cafes nearby), friendly staff (there is even a Russian-speaking employee at the reception), very tasty, albeit monotonous food, transfer to the beach.
Of the cons: connecting rooms with poor sound insulation and unfortunately a cockroach in the bathroom. The most budget option, you should not expect miracles and luxury, but it does not hurt to have a good vacation.

It's a great hotel for two stars. The staff is very polite and helps with everything. Check-in is at 3, but you can safely leave your things and leave. It is better to take an adapter with you, or ask at the reception (American type of outlet). The furniture is old, but clean, the food is sooo delicious, you can change dinner for lunch. The location is convenient, the beach is 15-18 dirhams away by taxi (the beach bus did not suit us in time - there at 9, back at 12).

For its price, the hotel is excellent.
For those who will rest in it:
1) There are tired rooms, large and small, they change without problems, do not be afraid to approach the reception and ask for another room, I personally looked at 3 rooms and chose a large and well-maintained 510 on the 5th floor.
2) Nearby there are supermarkets such as Lou Lou and Day Today, lulu came to me most of all, excellent, not expensive ready-made food, you can take 3-4 servings to the room at once, put them in the refrigerator, you can reheat them in the microwave on the hotel floor where the reception is, exit the elevator and immediately to the right, there is a kitchen. Lulu also has good Dubai chocolate for 15 dirhams.
3) There are three ways to get to Dubai, if you have 3-4 people, a taxi will suit you, it will be a little more expensive than a metro and a bus, but fast and comfortable. Just leave the hotel, see any taxi, raise your hand and safely get in, you don't need an app! THERE ARE JUST A LOT OF TAXIS, WE STOOD FOR A MAXIMUM OF TWO MINUTES.
If you still want public transport, then buy a null card, one for each person, one for everyone is not allowed! They are used to pay in the subway and buses. It is necessary to pick up at the entrance and when exiting the transport. You can buy it in some stores, just go to any store and say null card, they will tell you. The card is paid, it costs 7 dirhams, you must immediately top up at least like 13-15 dirhams.
There is a bus stop right next to Lulu's store, take the E307 bus and go to the end, then change to the subway, just follow the crowd, they are all in the subway)
On the subway, take the number 2 direction and go where you need to, Burj Khalifa or Dubai Marina, there are a lot of stops along the way.
The third way is by ferry, the ferry is located near Al Khan beach, this is the beach of the hotel, where you will swim. There is an aquarium near this beach, and near it there is a ferry, a small ship departs every couple of hours to Dubai, it costs 15 dirhams per person.
4) It is better to buy excursions from a hotel guide, he happens to be in the hotel almost every day from morning to lunch, sitting on the floor where the reception is, there is always a crowd around him. You can't go wrong.
Where you should definitely visit: The desert, the guide costs $ 35 per person, definitely take it, it's not very expensive for Dubai, there are a lot of emotions, the duration is about 6-7 hours. If there are 6 of you, then the whole car will be yours). The largest wheel in the world in Dubai Marina, the price of our 4500 RUB per person, opened just a couple of months ago. Safari Park - if you and your children are 1000% there, the price is 125 dirhams per person, this is the maximum ticket, take the maximum otherwise you will not see the floor of the park. Flower park, you won't see this anywhere else, be sure to visit it, a ticket per person is about 4,500 rubles.
5) Many people think that Wi-Fi is only at the reception and come down from the rooms for this. I got the Wi-Fi to which the TVs in the rooms are connected, but this is classified information, the name is CPH PLAZA, the password is plaza2551cph, just shhh to no one, otherwise the password will be changed)
6) Alcohol can be bought in Dubai Mall and Marina Mall, the shops are always hidden, they are located at the bottom where the parking is, ask the guards or the reception, they will tell you, unfortunately there are no such shops in Sharjah. We were shopping in Dubai and drinking at the hotel.
7) You can eat at the hotel, there is an advertisement with a phone number in the elevator, call directly from your hotel room and order, prices are normal, there are cafes near the hotels, you can sit right on the street, it is also delicious and cheap, but they mostly make it spicy, another option is ready-made food in lulu.
He seemed to have told me all the important information)
If you are vacationing with two people, it makes sense to find a couple at the hotel and take a taxi on all excursions to Dubai, etc., we did so. It will be much cheaper and faster. By the way, especially if you and your children are on the subway, don't even bother on weekdays after 5-6 pm, it will be hell!! It's worse than the Moscow metro, believe me, I've never seen this before, when the doors open and you can't go in, the Indians fall out of the car)) We stood like this for half an hour once and took a taxi in the end. Girls, don't be afraid to take open summer clothes, short dresses, shorts, it's okay, no one cares here, they've been used to tourists for a long time!

At the moment (11.11.24) we are here.We visit the UAE every year and therefore I want to write about this hotel. Our opinion is that if you need a budget option, feel free to choose this hotel!!!
1) The food for 4 is fresh, there is not much variety, but we only take breakfasts to diversify our diet in various cafes and restaurants (there are a lot of them here).The cost for two people is at least in a hotel, at least in a cafe about the same (60-80 AED)
2) The room is small, but clean and cozy, everything is there to wash, change clothes and sleep. The furniture is old, but everything is there. The only difference with 4sv is that they do not give tea, coffee and water (we buy it ourselves). There are no bedbugs on the 6th floor in 612!!!I read reviews and get scared, I haven't heard from anyone about bedbugs from the residents.The water is running, the pressure is good, there were no blockages. The windows are really dirty, we just covered them up - what's there to look at? The room has a hairdryer and a refrigerator, although they say that not all have a refrigerator.
3) Cleaning is done on call, just when we go for a walk, we leave a request at the reception so as not to test our patience. The reception solves all the points and issues at once.The Internet disappeared - they gave it in 5 minutes! No cleaning- done in 5 minutes!Adapters for charging are NOT ISSUED (perhaps they were given earlier). The Internet is mediocre, we had enough.
4) The location is good, there are many shops and shopping centers nearby.He carries a transfer to AL KHAN beach, it is difficult to walk in such heat, it is simply unrealistic On the street +33, the sea +30 . I do not advise experimenting, they are taken away at 9.00, taken away at 12.00 and that's it. Many who want to go again after lunch, take a taxi in pairs (16-20 AED one way). The only big disadvantage is THAT THERE IS NO TRANSFER TO THE SHOPPING CENTER AND DUBAI AT ALL. Well, as they say, either a taxi or Yandex maps to help. There is a bus station nearby (Bus E 307 can take you to the metro station, for example, the CITY DEIRA shopping center (10 AED per person), there is a SUBWAY entrance right at the entrance to the shopping center, to the Dubai MALL (approximately +10 AED) per person.In general, another tip is to download the offline map of the UAE in advance in Yandex maps (it will work without the Internet, not as functional as with the Internet, but it helps a lot)And be sure to download the offline translator of Russian and English.
P.S. Indian cuisine is very predominant here, in fact, if you do not like spicy, warn immediately, you can remember and memorize just a few words and they will understand you (for example, KNOW SPICY is not spicy)(CHICKEN chicken)(beef beef)(MUTTON Ram)(FISH fish)

It's not bad for two stars.
Of course, shabby, shabby furniture, a bathtub, but the service is polite. Bed linen and towels are changed upon request. A two-room spacious room was allocated for a family of 3 people (a child of 12)! There were only 2 towels, and after cleaning they left 1 at all. But at the request they brought it for everyone. Cleaning is also on request.
The sheets with discreet stains were also replaced at the first request.
There is no need to wait for 2 * more. It's very decent for its price.
The breakfasts are meager, but again, they justify their price and the number of stars.
We rested in a two-star hotel for the first time, we can only compare with 5*, but given the reduced status and such a low price, it seemed very decent to me.
The curtains are blackout.
A hairdryer and a refrigerator in the room, a kettle were provided upon request.
There are no bedbugs!!!!! When all the tourists from the group checked in, they asked for rooms without bedbugs, to which the administrators simply smiled, they were probably all tired of these requests.
In general, there are not enough little things like toothbrushes, tea cups, a little more hangers in the closet and, of course, to put the bathroom itself in order.
The rest perfectly matches the level.

We stayed at this hotel at the end of November 2024, I liked everything, it was always clean, the staff was polite, as for the food, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner included. The portions are huge, the variety is every day, the guys cook fish especially tasty, both in batter and baked. It was very tasty, if it ends, they report. A large amount of time is allocated for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it was very convenient. Thank you for your attention and care.

A good hotel, lucky with a room on the 2nd floor 203, the hotel is a little tired, but the hotel is not for a holiday in Dubai, it is far and expensive to get to Dubai for about 2800 rubles one way at 28:1 per derham by taxi, bus for two + metro will be about the same, well, maybe a little cheaper.
There is more shopping in day tu day and the shops are all for 1-15 dirhams or 1-20 there are all for 1-10, but they are also a long way on foot for 30-40 minutes.
If you want to see Dubai, look for promotions on Dubai itself or Dubai Marino, look at everything in 4 days.
You will die of boredom for 7 days in Sharjah, lying on the beach is like this, then Turkey or Egypt is better.
There are problems with food, if you take breakfasts, then you will need to eat for lunch and dinner somewhere, if you are not risky, go to roadside cafes with Pakistanis and Indians, by the way, there are about 80% of them here, maybe more, and they do not cook very well.
We ate at McDonald's and KFS, but this food was enough for 3 days, then we got tired, went to grocery stores and bought fruits and groceries. Fruits brought from somewhere are therefore about the same as in Russia in quality, well, maybe a little better, don't expect much hope.
In general, I liked everything, both the hotel and the rest, but now, knowing everything, I would have taken a room in Dubai itself. This hotel is purely to come to Dubai a couple of times (and if not by taxi, then an adventure with Yandex Navigator in your hands), to show off that you were in Dubai, come to your room and lie on the beach all day under an umbrella, by the way, a sunbed 10 umbrella 30 dirhams for the whole day, from the beach by taxi to the hotel for 15-18 dirhams. In principle, that's what everyone does, enjoy your stay!

It's fine for its price. We met the 2nd cockroach. It's ideal to spend the night clean, but the mattresses are hard. Their breakfasts are boring, but the watermelon has always been, though not so sweet, but normal. There was often not enough space on the bus that takes you to the beach, and therefore the bus goes back and forth about 2-3 times. The transfer wanted to leave at 20:40, although it should leave at 20:45!! (The transfer was delayed by our friends)

We went there from 22.12 to 28.12 for such money, the hotel is wonderful.
The food is good, the food is fresh, but it's almost the same every day, and in the end it stops altogether.
The room is cleaned every day, towels are changed three times. Shampoo, soap, and shower gel are provided, supplemented once.
One of the disadvantages is a very hard bed, but after walking around the city, you fall down and from fatigue you don't notice which bed))))
The beach is a bit far away, but the transfer takes you every day, several buses come if all the tourists didn't get into one. They pick up from the beach at 12:00, but at that time it was the height of the sun, when the sea was more or less warm. Therefore, we sunbathed until 3-4 and walked to the hotel, visiting various markets and shops.
We downloaded the maps and followed them. They work Offline

I live here now. The food is delicious and new every day. However, only sausages and eggs are made from meat.) but everyone is gorging. The rooms are very good for their price, clean, cleaned every day. A bus takes you to the sea. If you ask for something, they immediately run to do it. I think it pulls on 4*, but tk is not on the shore, so 2.

A normal budget hotel. They were from 29.01 to 03.02.2025. The kettle and iron were given, the linen was changed. The phone was charged without an adapter, although we had one. The charge is slower, but it's coming. The breakfasts are normal. They take you to the beach once, if you want, you can take a taxi. Communication via a "translator". After lunch, we walked slowly around many shopping malls. It's safe to walk. Nearby is a money exchange. But we exchanged dollars for dirhams at the airport. When we left, dirhams were changed back to dollars at the airport. Shampoo, soap and towels are provided. We took our sunbed from home to the beach. They didn't buy water, they boiled it from the tap, everything is alive. You can change things at the dealers, if they didn't fit, we exchanged them the next day. Transfer to the airport.

You shouldn't expect much from two stars.
We liked this hotel, cleaning was done every day, towels and cosmetics were changed as needed.
The buffet breakfast didn't have much variety of dishes, but you won't stay hungry. Drinks are juice, water, tea and coffee. The dishes are always boiled eggs, bread, jam, butter, pastries, salad, watermelon. There are Indian dishes, spicy beans and chickpeas were the most delicious.
Transfer to the beach at 9:00 from the beach at 12:00, you can also take a taxi for 15-18 dirhams.

We have been vacationing at the hotel since 11/19.24: I don't understand how you can write a negative about the hotel, knowing that it honestly declares its 2!!! The stars! We had a room on the 8th floor, large, with two beds, beautiful mattresses, a hall, a kettle (immediately on request), a wonderful bathroom! There are tiles everywhere in the interior, a beautiful chandelier in the hall! Polite, contact staff! There were only breakfasts similar to dinner- eggs, vegetables, fruits, meat sausages, scrambled eggs, feta, spaghetti, the child ate until the evening! Then we went through local cafes, the hospitality of the Emirates is amazing! The order of one soup also includes 5 sauces, tortillas, marinades .....and all this is just a stone's throw from the hotel, in view of its super location! Plus all the malls and affordable clothing and souvenir shops!
The room faced the mosque, indeed, the call sounded 3 times a day, one at 5 a.m., but it was beautiful and only about a minute ..., we went for the Arab flavor and their spirit, we liked it! One window was dirty from construction, but construction is active all over the UAE! Well, what is this window))), we did not come to look out the window ....
The energetic guys from the cleaning service, cleaning every day, changing towels....
The hotel needs repairs, of course, but it is of such a level initially that requires large investments, apparently. And when it is eventually produced, you will definitely not get into it for such a price! So enjoy it while you can!
We are deeply grateful to Crystal Plaza 2 stars!❤

What can be said about this hotel.
Our compatriots love him very much. 80% of the guests are from Russia.
The numbers are tired. The paint is peeling in some places, it's time to change the door jambs, the ceiling in the bathroom, and the furniture is a little worn out.
The water pressure is weak, but you can live
1 outlet per room. You need an adapter and preferably a tee for it.
There are no bedside lamps, only overhead lights.
There is a mini fridge, 2 mugs. A kettle is provided upon request. There are no more dishes and appliances. There is no tea, coffee, sugar, or water bottles in the room.
The reception staff responds to requests. They brought extra pillows, a towel, and a blanket.
If you want the room to be cleaned, be sure to put a sign on the door handle, otherwise they won't be cleaned.
Wi-Fi is stable in the rooms.
The key card was demagnetized 2 times.
The breakfasts are not bad for 2*
The bus to the beach goes about 8-20. If everyone does not fit in, a minibus is additionally served. They take you to Al Khan Beach. The beach is clean, shallow, and the water is clear. The entrance is free for hotel guests.
There are many shops near the hotel-Nesto (grocery, an analogue of Eurospara, a good department of inexpensive ready meals), Dayday, MegaMall, Lulu, Splash, Fix Price. Exchangers. The rest of the shopping centers can be reached by bus.
If you come to lie by the sea, shop, go on excursions, then the hotel is a normal economy option.

The hotel has 2 stars and I want people to initially see this information. We stayed there in late January and early February, arrived early in the morning, the receptionist allowed us to leave our things and said they would check us in earlier without any extra charges. The rooms are large, the beds are comfortable, I have never had any back problems, although this happens if the mattress is soft, so for me it was a plus, the water is always hot, the bathroom is clean, the room was cleaned 1 time in 6 days, although they offered more often, but we refused. Considering that we slept at the hotel, had breakfast and took a shower, I completely arranged everything. And considering the price, it's not worth counting on more. The only drawback is the combined rooms, i.e. you are separated from other guests by a closed interior door. But I learned this from previous reviews, so we knew what we were doing. By the way, one of the administrators speaks good Russian.

Plus probably the price and huge rooms. It's a long way to the beach. They take you by bus. 1-1. 5 hours on foot. Taxi 20 dirhams. Another disadvantage is that it is very rarely cleaned. Not once in 5 days. There was only one towel for 3 people. To all requests to add, they promised each time, but never brought it. Breakfast is more or less, you will not starve. I'm unlikely to go there a second time, only if it's really cheap.

The room is old, the furniture is battered, the bathroom is stained with damp, the bed linen is of poor quality, if you ask, they may provide new ones, but the attitude towards tourists from Russia is not very good. Try changing the room when you are placed in a bad one.
We took breakfasts, but we didn't take dinners.

We really liked the hotel, the service is very decent, despite the fact that two stars. They take you to the beach and bring you back (the transfer works properly) they feed you well, even if there is not much variety, but you can not eat at the hotel and eat outside it, there is always freedom of choice. Everything is working properly in the room, there is always hot and cold water, the air conditioner is working, the TV was really not visible, so I don't watch it at home. The fact that the room has not been renovated for a long time, well? I didn't come to look at the number, but at the country and the people who live in it. So the hotel is very good, especially on a budget, which was important for us. Many thanks to the hotel staff.

Overall, the hotel is bad. There are BEDBUGS in many rooms! They're really bedbugs!! The furniture is old and such that you don't want to touch it. Everything works in the bathroom, but everything is not pleasant either - the ceiling is dirty, the mirror is all torn off. There were no bedbugs in room 912 on the 9th floor, thank God! The windows are dirty and grounded by birds. Hotel for 1 max. 2 nights, if there's nowhere else to go. The food is all purchased, sausages, milk porridge, eggs, tortillas, in general, the food is normal, but everything is the same. I do not recommend the hotel!

I liked the hotel. Before the trip, I read reviews about how terrible everything is, but for the money I paid, the hotel is wonderful. The linen and plumbing are snow-white (except for the bathtub, which has chipped enamel and I took a shower in flip-flops), there is hot water. The room is large and spacious. There are few clothes hangers in the closet, so I always take a couple of plastic ones with me, but there is a prayer mat)))The kettle is being brought in-I haven't used it, but it seems to be working. There are two sockets-one in the bathroom with a hairdryer (there's a straight Euro socket) and one by the bed with three holes. I used both. They take you to the beach-thank them very much. The breakfasts are simply gorgeous-not only is everything delicious, but it is surprisingly diverse. There is a set of products that are repeated every day (vegetable salad, watermelons, hummus, olives, feta cheese, Indian tortillas). Drinks include water and juice. Coffee is shit. I went to Mac and Starbucks for coffee. I caught the cleaning in the room once-they even wipe the floors with a mop, and not only move the towels from place to place. One of the disadvantages is the disgustingly uncomfortable pillows.

The location is very convenient, near the fountains of Sharjah, you can walk to the nearest shopping center in 5 minutes, the Museum of aviation engineering is nearby. There are no problems with food at the hotel. Prices for lunch and dinner can be paid upon arrival, if not in the voucher. They take you to the beach, they take you to Dubai. Sharjah Museums are within walking distance, as is the largest shopping center.

The furniture generally corresponds to its low price. The staff is very friendly, the kettle and charging adapter were given, but you can't wait for clean sheets and cleaning. I think the whole problem of complete unsanitary conditions in the rooms is that the hotel management does not monitor the work of the cleaners and they are even lazy to change the bed after previous guests, cleaning the room is generally unaffordable for them.

Hello. We went in December before the New Year for 77 t. r. from Kazan, for 2 people (breakfast + dinner, due to which we did not spend much on food), I will say decent prices, the food is not cheap. I will say in advance that I generally liked the hotel and I recommend it (but this is purely my opinion) if you are on the show and are used to chic, it will be tense!!!! We have been to 3,4,5 stars, in different countries, there is something to compare with. It's my first time in the Emirates, but we liked it. They came to the room to sleep, eat, and wash cleanly.
Cons (for me):
a) There are interior doors (not noise-insulated Canadians) between the rooms and everything is audible in the neighboring rooms.
You can avoid this by asking for a room without interior doors, although they assure you that there are no such doors, insist politely on a room that does not have doors to neighboring rooms
b) The shuttle goes 2 times a day to the beach (in the morning to the sea, and back at lunch), i.e. in the morning a maximum of 2 flights at 8.30 am and 9.00 am, I would like more often! The return flight is at 12.00 and 12.30.
There was also a case when one woman (an English teacher) arranged for them to take a taxi that is tied to the hotel at the expense of the hotel to take them to the beach for two, keep in mind.
Swimming is prohibited in this country after 17.00 (according to Sharia law) One evening they came, they wouldn't let us in. Maybe it was just us.
c) There are no balconies
d) their food is quite spicy, peppery! In cafes and restaurants, it's better to say,, spicy notes,, and it will be a little island, and if you don't say it, it will burn everywhere)))
Advantages (for me) :
1)A 2-star hotel in the UAE looks like 4 or even a very economical 5 in Turkey (everything is in marble, the entrance doors are solid)
2) The food is pretty good, you won't be hungry! The food is monotonous, of course, delicious, there is something to choose from! Breakfast was 2 side dishes, delicious sausages (not like in Turkey) boiled eggs, chicken, fish in batter, various buns, greens, vegetables, Greek cheese, watermelon, apple, pancakes, some kind of cake, freeze-dried coffee (not from a vending machine), juice, tea.
Lunch was in the room: the diet soup is delicious (but spicy) IN a SEPARATE PLATE, side dish rice or pasta, French fries, fish always, always something from chicken or cutlets - or fried in batter, there were scripts a couple of times IT'S ALL NEATLY FOLDED IN ONE PLATE, salad in a separate bowl, dessert cake or souffle IN a SEPARATE BOWL, water 0.5 liters for two. The food is delicious.
Dinner at the restaurant at the reception: fish, chicken, cutlets, pasta, rice, corn with Mexican mixture, soup of 2 types, vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, grated carrots), there were also gravies and roast a couple of times, some dessert, juice, tea. Everything is very tasty.
3)Friendly staff at night
4) A lot when walking on healthy legs, near local attractions (mosques, the Embankment, seafood markets with their preparation, cafes, shops next to cheap fruits (according to the PROMOTION per kg watermelon 50-75r, mango 200-300r)
Do not get a local Sim card to close without pants, you will remain, Wi-Fi in the hotel and cafe, there are also supermarkets, in the shopping center too. As an option, you can make screen shots and walk around focusing on them (we did this a couple of times))), of course it's funny, but our budget was limited).
Thank God there were no bedbugs in the hotel! although when we read the reviews, we came across such a comment, we were scared, but the tour was already purchased.
It is better to go to Dubai by ferry near the aquarium near the beach where you swim, there is a port of 15 dirhams per person (there are no traffic jams on the ferry, unfortunately they are decent), in Dubai by metro using cards that can be bought there in the subway, on average 3 dirhams deducts.
If Abu Dhabi is then route 117 from the car park next to the blue market, drive about 2.5-3 hours one way, at a price of 230 dirhams - round trip. In Abu Dhabi, it's easier to take a taxi because the transport is expensive and the map is too, in Abu Dhabi we were at the Sheikh Zain mosque, the white one seems to be called A View of the izoteric mosque. Take a good look at the photo. Keep your eyes open, this is peaceful, but the east. My wife is a curvy blonde white-skinned, because the locals were tired of looking at her, then they treated me to sweets while I was away, I was gone for a couple of minutes, they already want to meet her. Take care of your women.
I hope my review will help you.
I added an adapter for sockets to the photo, our Russian plugs that are on the phone charger, on the hair dryer - they do not fit.
We didn't know, and bought it for 10 dirhams in the emirates. At the reception, they also give, but at that time there were none, and we had to buy.

Cockroaches mold on the walls traces of something you don't understand, plus there are hotels with the same name two blocks away, if you ask the locals, they will send you to a larger one (not that one

The worst place I've ever been. Cleanliness and service are nothing to worry about and leave much to be desired. Not only was there no time for early check-in upon arrival, but also after a long wait they provided a room that had not been cleaned and was in a sad state by itself. Changing the number didn't help and it only got worse. They refused to cancel and refund the certificates on the spot. The photos speak for themselves about the condition of the rooms. If someone is booking on their own or even worse - on a tourist voucher, I recommend buying a tent and spending the night on the beach - as a last resort. In the best case, see other hotels and preferably on the territory of other Emirates (for example, Dubai). This will not only save emotions, time and money, but also save you from a number of problems. The final score of "1" is given only for the fact that this place can be used as a warehouse for shoes and suitcases if arrival and departure are connected with Sharjah. For the rest, I sympathize with the guests and tourists who have been brought to the Crystal Plaza Hotel. From Crystal - crystal mud, from Plaza - dirty plasma in the room, in the Hotel - a letter is missing. But even in the cheapest hostels in Russia, the CIS and other distant overseas countries, hostels were better.
The food is terrible. It's better to go to a local store, it will be better and you definitely won't get poisoned. Since it is impossible to eat at this Hotel...

The hotel is clean for the night. It corresponds to its low price. The transfer to the beach takes you, but the beach is very far away. Walking distance to the promenade 20-30 minutes

For a hotel of this class, it's not even bad. They cook - well) The breakfasts and dinners were very satisfying. All the shops are close by. Cleaned at the request. Life hack for some: just lead the sign. They'll come and clean it up. The staff is polite, even tried to please the Russian greyhounds. The shuttle to the beach without delay, if people did not fit, the second one came. The beach is great. Changing rooms, shower,toilet.
In the evening, a lot of locals relax on the beach)

A disgusting hotel. I'm not a picky guest, but that's too much. Room 1203 stank of smoke, sweat, and mold at the same time. The bathroom is very dirty. The pillows stank so much that sleeping for 2 hours was a real torture. I booked a hotel for transit at 15 o'clock, I spent 4 hours in the hotel (sleep and shower), I sincerely sympathize with those people who stay here all their holidays. The owner of this hotel has absolutely no respect for his customers. I strongly do not recommend this hotel, even for a stop in a few hours.

The impression of the hotel is twofold, on the one hand, everything is there for comfort, comfortable beds, a TV (shows one Russian TNT channel), if you need a kettle, you need to ask, they will give. The breakfasts are not very varied, but satisfying. We didn't take lunches.
But!!!the rooms are not cleaned until you remind them, they are waiting for tips, but I think first do the job - without reminders, I will like it and then you can thank me. Oh, then you go up to the floor, and the guys are sitting in the hallway with their phones on👌

A normal hotel for your money, there is cleaning, cleanliness, refrigerator in the room, heated water, kettle on request, decent breakfast, the beach is clean, tides, there is a locker room and toilet, a small cafe, a bus takes you to the beach and picks up from 12 to 13, shopping streets, embankment, up to everything interesting can be reached on foot. From the beach, walk slowly for 2 hours.

One of the terrible hotels in which I lived ... it was as if we were in the Pakistani quarter, the hotel itself is terribly dirty, the rooms are already worn out by time ... unfortunately, I was led by the price from the operator. But it won't happen again, avoid this hotel))) There was a blockage in the bathroom twice

A good hotel, excellent service, except for the reception staff (not very friendly and reluctant to respond to requests from guests). And in general, I really liked everything, delicious breakfasts,transfer to the beach and back, cleaning every day.
