A very cool hotel for little money,the rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable,high-quality white linens,there is a large swimming pool on site, the water is warm, there is also a gym for sports enthusiasts, as well as outdoors you can play lawn tennis, football, basketball for children, a playground,a hammam,a buffet we really liked meat and seafood Paella, delicious cheesecakes, cakes, fruits, the only negative is juices only for breakfast and lunch, only water for dinner, but there's a Lulu store nearby. We shopped there. The prices are ridiculous. Their products are delicious. Ice cream in general. And many other goodies that are not available in Moscow.There is a cool promenade nearby, a palm alley, a boat station,trailers, a market, you can buy seafood or steaks,everything is cooked right away,there is a transfer to Dubai and to the beach,the beach is very steep, blue water, long coastline, white sand, there is no animation, but we went on a lot of excursions and often walked with children in Dubai,so when we chose a hotel we were aware of this, in general, the rest left pleasant impressions, we really enjoyed it.

The hotel is located in the greenest area of Sharjah, right on the waterfront. Nearby there is a palm park, butterfly island, a large mosque, in the other direction there is a market "trailers" (jewelry, clothes, a fishmarket behind the bridge). The food is good, you can safely take three meals a day: chicken, beef, lamb, sometimes seafood, fruits watermelon, melon, pineapples, oranges, side dishes, salads, snacks, pastries (delicious). But there is a nuance about drinks: in the morning tea, coffee, juices (good), and at lunch and dinner only water. For a fee of 7 dirhams, you can order tea or something else. We took a two-room room for 2 adults, 2 children. Everything is decent, the view from the window to the bay. But the shower is clueless, water is pouring. Slippers, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion - everything is there. Bottled water, tea, instant coffee and coffee machine capsules are also provided daily. The bed is being made, but the cleaning itself is mediocre. The pool is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., there is also a sauna and a steam room, but they are allowed there only from the age of 16 and separately according to the men's/women's schedule. Towels for the pool can be taken at any time, for the beach - only from 8 to 9 in the morning. There is a bus to Al Khan Beach, but we didn't like the queues. It is easier to take a taxi (they always stand right on the hotel grounds) and get there comfortably at the meter for 13-15 dirhams (they accept payment in cash or with a unionpay card from RSHB). The hotel also has a place to play football, basketball, tennis (lawn and table tennis), padel.

A cool modern hotel. We were checked into a room where we were greeted by an unexpected treat - a basket of fruits, nuts, dates and delicious fresh biscuits. You've never been greeted like this in any hotel! Almost immediately they brought an extra bed, because there are three of us. Lunch boxes were provided at the early check-out (they must be ordered in advance). The view from the room is gorgeous, we got to the time when the Formula 1 World Water Sports Championship was taking place, from the balcony we could see how high-speed cars were competing, and the winners were awarded on the territory of the hotel. There was a shuttle service to the beach, there were a lot of people who wanted to go, and buses went until all the people were picked up. The beach is clean, the sand is bright, the lifeguards take good care of the swimmers.They also provide free transportation to Dubai (a 30-minute drive) to the City Centre Deira Shopping Center. There are many good shops nearby: Splash,Day to day, Lu Lu,Nesto (I advise you to purchase SAM brand Dubai chocolate, which is sold Day to Day for 12 dirhams, it is very tasty!) There is also a good fish market nearby, you can buy shrimp (the cheapest 30 dirhams,+ charge money for cleaning and for cooking, depending on how exactly you need to cook). It is quite possible to walk to the City Centre shopping center. It is located near Al Majas Park, where the famous fountain is located (it is closed on Mondays, and on other days it is better to come to watch by 21:00, because usually at this time the most beautiful program). The hotel has left extremely positive emotions and I want to come back here again!💕

Holiday International 4* I really liked the hotel! It is located in the center of Sharjah, on the shores of the Khalid Lagoon. Nearby are the embankment, palm park, market, cafe, hypermarket, entertainment. A shuttle bus takes you to the beach (paid sun beds) without an appointment. From 9.00 to 10.00. Back at 13 o'clock. The on-site swimming pool is heated, and there are plenty of sun loungers. Saunas, jacuzzis on schedule (husband and wife time) Sports and children's playgrounds. The rooms are clean and modern, but there were minor cleaning issues that were resolved quickly. The bed linen and towels are snow-white and clean. They always try to help at the reception! The hotel has 14 floors. 3 elevators are always operational. The food in the hotel restaurant is delicious, there is a choice. About 10 hot dishes, soups, salads, cuts, vegetables, fruits, pastries, cakes. The children's menu is small, but the children were always well-fed)) There are Euro sockets in the rooms!!! Take an adapter with you.

The hotel is very nice There are always no problems with nutrition If you check out early, you need to ask for lunch boxes at the reception in the evening and tell the time when you check out (they were all inclusive) The staff is polite, they can say a few words in Russian. Transfer to Al Khan beach from 8:45 a.m. to 9 a.m. until the tourists leave.They pick up the tourists from about 12:25 and also until they take them out.They did not take payment (they were from February 18 to February 26), although it was written at the reception that upon presentation of a tourist visa, the cost per adult is 5 dirhams (you need to show your passport) An umbrella costs 30 dirhams, a sunbed 10 dirhams, a mattress for a sunbed 5 dirhams By taxi to the beach 6-8 km.,10-15 dirhams price We didn't find any disadvantages for the whole time. Near the hotel there are shops LuLu,Nesto,Day to Day, where you can buy souvenirs very cheaply. The "locomotives" market is worth a visit, lots of jewelry, perfumes, etc. There is also an Al-nur Mosque nearby. The special feature of the hotel is a beautiful view of the lagoon The Internet is great in the room and even if you go out to the fountains on the street I recommend this hotel to everyone!

Meals from 10-10. The location is very convenient, the embankment is within walking distance, a palm grove behind the hotel fence, an island with a butterfly museum and a beautiful pedestrian zone within a five-minute walk, supermarkets are also nearby, the beach is far away, but the transfer is organized, I would like to see a lot of people, everyone is crowding as usual, they want leave first. The view from the room window was amazing (photo attached). The room was cleaned daily, the hotel is clean and tidy. My husband and I are 100% satisfied.

We had a vacation with my husband and a family friend of three adults at the Holiday International 4* hotel from December 02, 2025 to December 09, 2025. This is our first trip to the UAE, and, in fact, to the hotel itself. Overall impression of the hotel: I was preparing for the trip in advance, I read about Sharjah and the hotel through Telegram channels, so I was generally prepared for its pros and cons. Initially, for almost a year I was confident that we would be able to fly to Goa in India, but unfortunately, due to the small number of declared departure cities, we did not succeed and we flew to a place where it was warm and inexpensive at the moment. I've never been particularly eager to travel to the UAE, so I didn't have any problems with the UAE as a whole or with the hotel. I got exactly what I paid my 56,000 rubles per person for. The hotel is very good, it is located in a great location, in the very center of Sharjah - near a palm grove, a long walking area, within walking distance of the canal, the Steam Trains market, the City Center shopping center and a large number of diverse infrastructure. The hotel is absolutely standard in the segment of urban hotels. It can be found in Antalya, Batumi, and Sharma. Therefore, I advise you to choose it for those people who are flying for the first time and this trip will be an introductory one. After the first time, it will be clear to you what you would like further from the UAE., Check-in: We arrived at the hotel after a night flight from Mineralnye Vody and stood at the reception desk around 9:30 a.m. By the way, we were taken to the hotel in 25 minutes in a small car with another family, and it was very convenient. At the reception desk, the administrator performed the check-in procedure relatively quickly, but did not check into the room itself. We checked in as standard at 14:00. I can't say that there was any sincerity, hospitality, or even a smile. No, everything is on the flow, all with practiced movements. We were charged a deposit of 200 dirhams, which was unconditionally returned at the time of departure. We got the 3rd floor with a view of the city, but the farm buildings were a bit ugly below.buildings. But this is not so important, since the overall picture was still beautiful.) : The room for three of us was standard - two large beds, almost double and one folding bed. She, in turn, was very uncomfortable because the springs were putting a lot of pressure on the ribs. I also can't help but mention the blankets separately - I've never seen such killer blankets in my life. Very long and heavy. Sleeping under them was even more fun, because the blanket literally presses on you and it's very hard to sleep under it. The pillows aren't soft either, they're oaky. The sound insulation was good, or we just didn't have any noisy neighbors around. The room was cleaned daily and was quite good. We replenished tea/coffee, water, and changed towels daily. The bed linen was changed once during our stay. From the very first day, we had a leak in our room, either a hygienic shower, or a toilet tank, or a shower, we still did not understand. We went to the reception, showed the photo, but no one fixed anything for all 9 days. We just wiped this puddle with a doormat and didn't bother. The room itself, unlike the common areas of the hotel, is slightly unfinished after renovation. There were paint stains in the corners of the bathroom, the grout joints in the tiles were uneven, and there was a slight feeling of scuffiness. I noticed this, but it didn't affect my vacation in any way. I can see such things, but they don't spoil my mood. Food: We took breakfasts and dinners. Dinners, in turn, could be exchanged for lunches without prior approval. The variety and quantity of food here is more like European hotels than Turkish or Egyptian ones. There are no 10 tables with pastries and salads, etc. But at the same time, there are a sufficient number of interesting positions, Indian dishes and very tasty hash browns in the morning. The restaurant itself is very stylish, newly renovated and very pleasant to be in, if only it weren't for the air conditioners. I had to wear a sweater every time. But this is generally a problem for all emirates in terms of indoor spaces. Sea: On our dates of stay, the water in the bay was relatively cool, besides, we were either a little sick from the air conditioners, or we got acclimatized, but with a runny nose and a slight cough, we absolutely did not want to go into the water. We saw buses that took hotel guests to the beach, but we ourselves took a taxi for 17 dirhams. Al Khan Beach is not particularly impressed with its surrounding area. Some kind of thermal power plant, incomprehensible buildings opposite, a bit not mine. But the sand itself, the color of the water, the width of the beach area - there are no questions here. But initially we did not go for swimming in the bay, but rather for walking, exploring the UAE, so we did not plan to swim a lot. The next time I go to a slightly warmer weather, I will definitely choose a hotel with the first coastline. City: This hotel is definitely a great option for exploring Sharjah and Dubai. The hotel is 10 minutes from the bus station and from there we took a double-decker bus to Dubai, as well as to Abu Dhabi for a Metallica concert.) There is a palm grove behind the fence from the hotel, a lot of locals gather there in the evening, very colorful. The Al-Majaz embankment is located near the hotel, and it is very pleasant to walk along it in the evening. You can go through the embankment to the Al-Kasbah canal, it's incredibly beautiful there in the evening! Through several streets, large streets with a road run parallel to the hotel street, there are a large number of shops with completely different directions, the City Center shopping center is also located there, but look carefully at the maps, there is an interchange there, it is difficult to pass and there are also many places where fences made of small chain link are installed in the middle of the road on the dividing strip, not everywhere it is possible cross the road. For 25 dirhams, we took a taxi to the Al-Zahiya shopping center, but we got there on Friday, when they only worked until 13:00, and we didn't know about it. We left there very upset. There is a free shuttle service to Dubai from the hotel every day at 10:00 a.m., you must make an appointment in advance (2-3 days in advance) with the concierge at the hotel entrance. They don't take standing passengers, only sitting ones, so you don't have to get on it. The bus arrives in the Deira area at the City of Deira shopping center, you can take a walk in it and then go to the nearest metro station in Dubai. In Sharjah itself, public transport is very poorly developed, so you will either have to walk a lot or take a taxi. Bottom line: a solid 4* hotel, there are both pros and cons. Ideal for exploring the UAE at a pleasant price.)

Great hotel!!!This is the 5th time in the UAE ... there is something to compare it with . Very nice place, the view from the room is fantastic)we watched fireworks on NG . There are many shops,cafes nearby, a market nearby, and a taxi ride to the beach takes 10 minutes and 15 dirhams. The free bus was not convenient for us, especially back ..at 13:00. Towels for the beach are given until 9 a.m., then only by the pool..The food is great, everything is delicious, only few drinks are included in lunch/dinner … On excursions , we took both at the hotel and from the coral operator's guide , guides are always unreasonably more expensive and the service has deteriorated greatly , I do not advise you to take it , the country is safe - it's not scary to take excursions not from the operator .

A good hotel with a convenient location relative to the promenade along the lagoon, the bus park, the fish market, the Steam Trains market, and in general everything you need. Check-in: arrived at the hotel around 09:00, checked in at 11:30. Room: everything in the room is quite fresh and clean, comfortable, large beds, huge blankets (very comfortable to sleep), we traveled with 2 adults and a 13-year-old child, we took a standard room with two separate beds without extra space. Two adults of average build can comfortably fit on one bed. Nutrition: there is everything that is necessary for proper nutrition. Of the nuances: only water for lunch and dinner. Dinner can be changed to lunch, and if you miss a meal, it can be rescheduled for the day of departure from the hotel. Beach: free transfer to Al Khan beach from 09:00 to 09:30, pick up from the beach from 12:30 to 13:00, we almost always took a taxi in the morning at a later time, so I can't say in turn, the taxi went from 15 to 18 dirhams one way. Umbrellas and deck chairs are paid on the beach, we did not take them. Towels for the beach and pool are provided at the hotel without problems by cards. However, it is indicated that towels are provided for the beach only until 09:00, but we just always took towels for the pool.Taxis are always parked outside the hotel. Also, every day there is a free transfer to Dubai to Deira City shopping center at 10:00 and on Friday at 16:00. Overall, the impressions from the hotel are positive, very even for its price category!

My 13-year-old son and I stayed at this hotel in early December. The hotel corresponds to 4 stars, the room had disposable slippers, iron, ironing board, safe, kettle, refrigerator. There is soap, shampoo, shower gel, and body cream in the bathroom. Cleaning is daily, if you don't find fault, then it's normal. The breakfasts are the same every day, at first everything is delicious, but after a week everything is already boring to the point of impossibility. The dinners are a little more varied, but I didn't like the fish, like pangasius. The location of the hotel is good, near a palm grove, a promenade, cafes, shops, a bus stop within a 5-minute walk. There is a free bus from the hotel to the beach and Dubai Deira. You need to make an appointment in Deira in advance. There is also a good swimming pool in the hotel, but we were there once - on the day of arrival, while we were waiting to check into the room, we are more interested in the sea) I was in the Jacuzzi and hammam once, which is also not bad. In general, the hotel is good for its money, 90 percent of Russians rest. Personally, I will not go there anymore, simply because there is nothing to do in Sharjah, all the most interesting things are in Dubai. And it takes a lot of time to travel to Dubai by bus all the time, considering that there are always traffic jams in Sharjah in the late afternoon!

We stayed at the hotel in the middle of February, the hotel is good, the food is delicious, the location is good, shopping centers, market and embankment are within walking distance.It's a long walk to the sea, we took a taxi back on the transfer. The only negative was that the hotel was full, and for the first two days we were settled in Marbella, then we were allowed to stay there until the end of the vacation, on the second day we were asked to move to a holiday and given a room with separate beds, we didn't have the strength to change anything. Although in the booking requests, the manager indicated that we were newlyweds and it was my birthday.

A good hotel, the buffet may not be as varied as in Turkey, but there was always a choice of chicken, beef, and fish dishes, and very tasty desserts. The rooms were cleaned every day, the renovation of which generally corresponds to the star rating of the hotel. A big plus is the heated pool, as we went swimming in February, it was much more pleasant than swimming in the sea. One of the disadvantages is the distance of the sea from the hotel, which is otherwise reached by daily buses directly from the hotel. We were aware of this when booking the hotel, so we were ready. However, even off-season buses were packed to capacity. As a result, only positive impressions remained from the rest, 4.8/5

We visited this hotel at the end of November 2025. It's pretty good for your money. The food is of good quality, even if it does not shine with variety. We were taken to the local beach of Al Khan beach, the water was gorgeous in every way, umbrellas and deck chairs this season and you don't have to take a regular towel, the sun is very soft and does not scorch the skin. Excellent on-site swimming pool, good sauna, Jacuzzi. The rooms are always clean. The staff is friendly and goes to meet their clients in everything.. I would especially like to mention the man from the Sohel Rana cleaning service. Thanks to his efforts, our room was always crystal clear!!!

It's a lovely hotel. We have been resting for 3 times already. This time we got to Ramadan. The cafes are closed even for takeaways. But, there is a wonderful NESTO supermarket. It looks like our Globe. You can buy ready-made food, sliced fruits, and amazing mango juice. The room is a two-room suite with a view of the Persian Gulf. The room has a refrigerator, hairdryer, iron, capsule coffee machine. Again, a small minus is the shower stall. When taking a shower, the entire floor is wet. They would have already done it so that it would be closed to the end. There is a great manager, Ahmet, on respechen. He speaks Russian and loves Alyonka's chocolate very much. In February, the air is +26-28, cool in the evening, about 19-20 °. The sea is 23°, the pool water is about 28°. We take all the excursions from Svetlana. She's sitting on the first floor.

A great hotel for your money. We were given a comfortable room with a beautiful view of the lagoon. It is worth noting the cleanliness in the room and the responsiveness of the staff. The food is five, the buffet is quite varied, everything is delicious. You can swap lunch and dinner if necessary, or ask to bring a packed dinner to your room if you plan to stay late on the tour. An additional advantage is the convenient location of the hotel: within walking distance of the fish and fruit market, gold shops, supermarkets and shops. A bus from the hotel takes you to the beach. I recommend it!

It's a very nice hotel. One of the advantages. The food system is different (breakfast, breakfast lunch, breakfast lunch dinner). The menu is varied and there is plenty to choose from. Large rooms, with views of the lagoon on three sides of the building and the city on the fourth. Heated swimming pool, sun beds with umbrellas, tennis court, soccer field, table tennis, gym, Internet in the rooms and throughout the hotel. Helpful staff. There is a transfer to the sea, they take you away at 9 a.m. and pick you up at 13:00. There is also a shuttle service to Dubai. There are many shops, restaurants, a fast truck and all kinds of entertainment within walking distance (singing fountains, a laser show). Among the disadvantages: Poor room cleaning and very high humidity (things were all wet, it smells very musty) but this is due to the fact that there was a steam humidifier next to our room.

We were in February. The tour was bought in Marbella, but we checked into a Holiday in a great room with a view of the lagoon and the Ferris wheel.For us, the main criterion was the availability of opening windows. In addition to this rare phenomenon, this hotel also had a beautiful balcony with a table. In the evenings, we sat with fruits and admired the views of the evening Sharjah. Water, tea, and soap supplies were replenished daily. Everything is of good quality. Comfortable large beds with snow-white bedding.Towels are provided separately for the sea and the pool.A pool with warm water. The transfer to the beach was used several times.Thanks to the hotel for such a bonus. But they didn't want to use it regularly, because waking up on vacation according to the schedule and running to take the bus queue to the beach would not bring pleasure. There are taxis near the hotel. The price to the beach is low. Taxis are perfect: clean, comfortable new cars. From the beach, too, at any time by taxi.The food was taken by HB. Dinner can be changed to lunch. The food is good. The hotel is newly renovated. Everything is fresh. Very pleasant. Within walking distance of the sights of Sharjah, shopping center,park, Steam train market, singing fountains and supermarkets.This is an ideal option for a city hotel. It has its own territory.There are friendly staff at the reception.Communication in English. There is a free round-trip shuttle service from the hotel to Dubai Deira City Center. The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere. No noise, no screaming music. The hotel is price-quality.

Great hotel. It is well located — near the lagoon embankment, where it is pleasant to walk. There are many cafes within walking distance where you can get one large portion for two for 30-40 dirhams. The hotel has everything — all rooms have transparent balconies. The view can be on the lagoon or on the city. The rooms are spacious and the design is pleasant. There is an ironing board and an iron in the closet. Cleaning, catering, and staff friendliness are excellent. I do not know what to find fault with. I didn't find any disadvantages.

The hotel is on its solid four. Everything is fine, the location is almost in the center of Sharjah. Beautiful park for walking, beautiful lagoon. Check-in before 14:00 if the room has already been cleaned. Good cleaning service. There is a kettle, tea, coffee, cream, sugar in the room. Rooms are cleaned every day. The pool provides towels for the pool and the sea. Sea transfer. There is a free shuttle service to Dubai. The food is good, breakfast and dinner are 4 hours each, everyone is in time. Lots of meat, fish, vegetables, fruits. Near the hotel there is a gold market, fish, vegetable and many other shops. One problem is, if you return from Dubai in the evening, you can get into traffic. The hotel sells guided tours, the prices are almost the same as for other guides.

We had a family of 4 people, the room has everything you need (kettle, iron, ironing board, safe,mini fridge, hairdryer, slippers, soap accessories), the view of the lagoon is gorgeous. We took HB meals, lunch was sometimes changed to dinner, in fact, there are no problems. The food was varied, and we weren't hungry.Next to the hotel on the opposite side there are cafes with adequate prices, I took a portion for four there, from cold cuts for 850r, everyone was full.Alcohol in this Emirate is prohibited in any form, keep this in mind when choosing a hotel. Transfer to the beach at 9 a.m., we used to jostle, but then it was empty, everyone was laughing.Back at 13⁰⁰, the situation was slightly worse, but everyone was taken away.We somehow decided to stay late, the taxi cost 360p.Anyone who has never taken a hotel without its own beach, do not be alarmed, this is not discomfort, I have experienced how it is, because I have always rested in hotels on the 1st line.The hotel's entertainment facilities include a large table tennis court, a football field, a gym with exercise equipment, a swimming pool, a sauna and a Jacuzzi are allowed only from the age of 16.There is an embankment next to the hotel where you can walk in the evenings, and if you're lucky, you can see the singing fountains of Sharjah, not Dubai, but at least something, because the sights here are at least all in Dubai.In the evenings, you can spend time in the shopping centers, which are quite a few here, go to the vegetable and fish market, and if you need a local museum, they are there. I consider the location of the hotel to be good for both beach holidays and trips to Dubai.We really enjoyed everything, we will come back here again.

I really liked the hotel. The perfect location. Good sound insulation in the rooms. Long opening hours of the restaurant (breakfast 06:30-10:30, lunch 12:30-15:30, dinner 18:30-22:30). You can swap lunch with dinner, which is very convenient. Everything was delicious, but there is not enough tea for lunch and dinner. The only fruits were watermelon and papaya. There are transfers to Al Khan Beach and Deira City Center. The Anbar Alsham restaurant is very tasty in front of the hotel. Large portions and not expensive. Fast service. There is a fish market nearby where you can buy seafood and they will be cleaned and cooked there. We had a great picnic in a palm grove.

I liked the hotel, it fully meets its stated four stars. The convenient location is close to the embankment, there are many shops nearby, the rooms are decent, but it's better to take a view of the Lagoon if you honestly saved money, and then you regretted it.The food is decent, not very diverse, but delicious. We took full board in principle, we were satisfied with everything else, the hotel was super popular, there were cyclists, schoolchildren, weddings and conferences during our stay I like that it has its own large territory and a football field and tennis courts. A decent area with a swimming pool sauna and Jacuzzi In principle, I recommend it to everyone

Nice 4 hotel, clean rooms, cleaning every day, water is brought every day, the food is good, you won't stay hungry at all. Friendly staff. The most important thing is that walking distance to supermarkets, fish and vegetable market. Buses are taken to the beach, at 13 :00 they are picked up from the beach, the journey time is 10-15 minutes, depends on traffic jams, although drivers try to avoid them. The pool is heated, the water is hot after lunch.

I really liked the hotel, the convenient location in Sharjah, everything is nearby: walking along the beautiful embankment, cafes, markets, and shopping centers. We took meals for breakfast and dinner, you can choose to go either for lunch or dinner, which is very convenient. One day we left for the whole day and did not plan lunch or dinner at the hotel. This meal was postponed to the day of departure without any problems. The food is very decent, not spicy, not very varied, but delicious. You can use the Holiday and Marbella grounds and their pools.

Great hotel! Close to shops, palm grove, cafes and pharmacies. The food is delicious and varied. The room is cozy and clean, cleaned regularly. The reception is friendly. We went to the beach by taxi (approximately 300-400 rubles or 15 dirhams. But there is also a bus that takes you to the beach twice in the morning and picks you up around 12-13 p.m. The hotel also has a hammam, gym, tennis court, table tennis. Highly recommend it!

The rooms are average. They are cleaned by 3. Balconies, in principle, are not washed. Therefore, there is a lot of street dust. Furniture in pyti. Come wash everything to dry things. The food is good. It's not very diverse. But you won't stay hungry for sure. There is no alcohol anywhere in Sharjah. The most non-drinking and strict Emirate.There is a bus to the beach. But when he arrives, everyone climbs into him like wild. There is no order. Only those who have landed are lucky. Those who didn't get in are waiting for the next bus. You can take a taxi, it costs 15 dirhams. There is practically no territory of its own. There is a swimming pool, but it is small. Umbrellas are also paid for at 30 dirhams. Sun beds 10. But all are sagging.the sea is amazingly clear. There are no algae, few fish. No jellyfish were seen. The tide is decent in the morning. Small. We reached the buoys. But closer to 12, the tide was already rising decently.

The hotel is cool! The staff is helpful and attentive. The location is great, the view from the room is amazing. The food is very tasty. Yes, there is no tea or coffee at dinner, but this is the only small disadvantage of the hotel.

We stayed at this hotel in January 2026. For a period when the water temperature in the bay is not comfortable enough for swimming, this hotel is the best choice. It has its own territory, heated swimming pool, tennis court, football field, basketball court. Everything is within walking distance..shops, the embankment, attractions. The room has everything you need. We recommend it!

Compared to many other hotels in Sharjah, it is very good here.The location is great, there is a place to walk when there is a storm at sea and it makes no sense to go to the beach. I strongly recommend choosing breakfast and lunch (dinner) or full board, rather than just breakfast, because there is nowhere to eat in the area: there are a lot of eateries, but very dirty and smelly, you don't want to eat there at all (there is one Iranian or Pakistani, opposite Marbella across the street, a red sign with white letters, here in it's clean, but there's a cradle and a barbecue, you won't eat it all the time) , the CFS is terrible, they generally use all parts of the chicken (even the ridge, the ass and the "finger" of the wing). In the dining room at the hotel, the food is delicious and plentiful, all meals are buffet style, if you buy dinner or lunch, then for 2 adults + a child there were 173 dirhams per meal. When choosing a room, I do not recommend paying extra for the view, we paid extra for the view of the lagoon and as a result we looked at the courtyard and its roofs (I was very upset, I dreamed of something completely different, I sobbed- we barely flew, we waited a day for departure, and here is such a trick), no one will rush to change your room, so take it the ticket is cheaper and come what may, at least without disappointment. A huge disadvantage of the hotel is that events are often held on the lawn by the pool from the street and then the pool is closed (locals don't really want to see people in underpants, of course). Room cleaning is very mediocre, but it is carried out daily, especially if you put a sign on the door. There are no Russian speakers in the hotel, only a tour guide, get ready for this. About the main rest: Markets (steam trains and grocery store) it's really close, but I didn't like it at all, it's easier to buy in hypermarkets (Lulu, Nesto, Day Today, Gift Market are nearby - feel free to ask on the bus to the beach, those who arrived earlier will tell you everything). Take a taxi only with checkers, then it's not expensive, you get up on the edge of any road and wave to a car with checkers (they are everywhere in abundance), if a private driver offers you a ride, ask the price right away and do not hesitate to refuse (if a regular taxi ride costs 15-20 dirhams, then the private driver will charge you for the same he will ask for 50-70). No one is particularly shy about clothes here, they wear what they have, i.e. no one requires to wear long and with sleeves. In general, the UAE is great. I wish peace and prosperity to this wonderful country!

The Solid 3 Hotel* Advantages: location, view from the window, staff. Cons: if you can find something to eat at breakfast, then for dinner you should try to find something edible, everything is in spices, unsightly and incomprehensible dishes. There are also no drinks at lunch/dinner except water! Are you serious? At the same time, there are confectionery products. Do you offer them with water, or is there?Why can't we at least offer tea? There are also problems in the room, namely in the bathroom, water is leaking from the shower onto the floor. The decorative pillows and bedspreads are stained, as if they haven't been washed in a very long time. Knowing the situation with the bus to the beach, you will not be able to leave or arrive normally. Initially, we knew that we would use a taxi 15-20 dirhams in one direction. In general, there are two impressions of this emirate. It would seem to be a cultural capital, a beautiful park in front of the hotel, mosques, a lagoon... But the garbage that just drowns the whole area is something you wouldn't expect to see in the UAE.And all the garbage is left by crowds of migrants who arrange receptions wherever they come to mind and do not clean up after themselves, although there are garbage cans at every step. Conclusion. I can recommend the hotel and Sharjah to those who are not embarrassed by the dirt on the street and the tasteless food in the hotel.

The hotel is located near the city center, almost on the lagoon embankment, convenient location, close to shops, a market, including a fish market, a promenade, 4.5 km to the city beach, transfer to the beach daily at 9.00 and back at 13.00, there is also a daily transfer to Dubai and back. A restaurant with European and national cuisine, no one stays hungry. Nearby there are many restaurants and eateries, cafes and cafés, etc. for various budgets. The hotel staff is diligent, responsive, the room is cleaned daily, you come from a walk or the beach - the room is cleaned, nice. The room has everything you need: refrigerator, safe, TV, iron, kettle (tea, coffee, sugar), only a special table for a suitcase is missing. There is a hammam and sauna in the pool area, as well as a gym, but it is a little tired. The most important thing is the sea, it is wonderful and magical. It is very sad that local migrant workers from even more southern countries, who have been living here for many years, are not changing the face of the country (UAE) for the better: packages, wrappers, boxes of any products, as well as bottles, cups, containers, etc. are immediately thrown under their feet, all this is blown away by the wind. the lagoon and then into the sea, in addition, they dump kilograms of bread onto the embankment and into the lagoon water, feeding birds and fish. As a result, the beautiful lagoon turns into a muddy and dirty swamp, and all this flows into the sea. I just want to say: people, where is your mind, do you still have it, stop, think about what you will leave to the children. Wonderful Emirates, I wish you prosperity. Thank you for your hospitality.

Nice hotel, delicious food. We took 3 meals a day, we liked everything. Always beef, chicken and fish. Room cleaning is daily, towels are changed every day too. There is a place to walk in the evening, the view is beautiful. We went to the beach on a transfer, there were no problems. There were enough places for everyone.

We are currently vacationing with our family at this hotel. It is unclear for what reason we were charged a 200 dirhams deposit, despite the fact that there is no information on the availability of a deposit upon check-in on the hotel's website. In addition, the deposit is taken selectively, not from all guests. I specifically chose a hotel without a deposit, it turns out that the hotel is deceiving its guests. In addition, when checking into the room, there was only one set with shower accessories and a tea set for one person, although we paid for three people. Of course, we went to the store and bought everything we needed, but the level of this hotel is lower than 4*. The reception is staffed by indifferent staff who do not respect their guests and are not interested in the guest's problems. I do not recommend this hotel, there are many hotels in the UAE where every guest is appreciated. The food is monotonous, the water in the shower room fills the entire floor, take a floor cloth with you. On the positive side, I can only mention the location of the hotel, there are places for walking. I do not recommend the hotel.

Nice hotel. The rooms are excellent, brand new, clean, everything is there, including a kettle and two daily 0.5 bottles of water. All rooms have balconies! We were accommodated in a lagoon view at no extra charge. Adapters for our gadgets are issued without problems. The pool is open until 10 pm!!The food, we had breakfast and dinner, everything was on the level, without frills, but delicious and varied. Once in 10 days there were seafood - shrimp, mussels, tuna salad. Dinner could easily be exchanged for lunch. The hotel is located on the shore of the Al Khalidiya lagoon, around which there are many attractions, a beautiful promenade, parks, cafes. But the sea is far away! Walking distance to the nearest beach is 50 minutes! This should be taken into account when choosing a hotel. True, there are shuttles, but they don't run very conveniently - once at 9 a.m. and back at 1 p.m. We went a couple of times and calmed down) The rest of the sea was combined with museums. For example, after visiting the Museum of Islamic Culture, we walked along a beautiful street with mansions to a well-maintained beach in the Sheraton area. We were very satisfied with this beach. But! During Ramadan, the local museums are open at 14:00. It is a pity that the singing fountains on the lagoon did not work because of this. Going on vacation during Ramadan has its pros and cons, especially for Sharjah. It is better to know about this in advance...

While we were paying the taxi driver, the helpful staff had already managed to take our suitcases to the reception. It is very pleasant when, after an overnight flight, you are greeted with a smile at the entrance to the hotel ... Because the arrival was early, and check-in after lunch, we went for a walk around the neighborhood. We were offered to leave our suitcases in the room, under lock and key, and were given a tag with the number and number of checked suitcases. They also showed me where to change my clothes, and offered to go to the pool while waiting, for which I would like to thank you. But since we specially chose the hotel in order to see the sights nearby, we went for a walk. I can say that all the main places for tourists to visit are within walking distance, I recommend just taking a walk and looking, and not just going to the beach for the whole day. At the specified time, we checked into the room, the reception asked for the upper floor, we had a view of the mosque, the beauty of the rooms... Cleaning in the rooms apparently depends on the shift, one clearly saves on disposable sets in the bathroom, or rather, it does not complement them at all, and the room is not particularly cleaned, but this is for It wasn't critical for us. The food in the restaurant is great and varied, I wanted to try everything (we took breakfast and dinner (you can easily change it for lunch, just warning you about it the day before))), on the one hand, we really regretted it, because we didn't want to eat anywhere else, there were so many rich and delicious dishes in the hotel. The whole area is very clean, cozy and peaceful. The staff always responded instantly to requests, and they were solved just as quickly... The pool is cleaned every evening. About trips to the beach, this is a separate story, we took a taxi to another one, where it is completely deserted and there are no waves. But!!! Our people are invincible... From the balcony in the morning, we watched a picture of how a queue of our compatriots was already forming 30 minutes before the bus... Not everyone could fit into it, they were waiting for the next one, which arrived in a couple of minutes... The bus arrived exactly on schedule, and took people to the beach. We will be happy to stay at this hotel again!!!!

We stayed at this hotel for the second time, the first was in 2017. About the room: we had 422, a view of the lagoon, the water park, the steam trains and the city. The room has a TV, kettle,coffee bags,tea,slippers,refrigerator,iron, ironing board,hair dryer,shampoo,hair conditioner,soap,lotion.Cleaning was done every day, towels were changed every day, bed linen was changed once in 6 days. Shower supplies were replenished as they were used. We had an early arrival, we were at the place at 7 o'clock, check-in was supposed to be at 14:00. Ahmed at the reception helped to check in at 12. He knows Russian. At the reception, if you deal with a problem, they solve it. Our refrigerator was leaking, and it was fixed. Svetlana is sitting in the lobby, selling excursions, we borrowed from her. They didn 't look anywhere else . Responsive, will advise, will tell you everything. This is not the first time in the UAE, I would recommend an overview tour of Dubai with Burj Khalifa, a marine tour of the Marina, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, the city of flowers. We only had breakfast. You won't stay hungry for a lot of things:sausages, porridge, pastries, fruits, omelets, eggs, cheeses, sausages, tea, coffee, and more. A bus takes you to the beach at 9 a.m. and picks you up at 12:40 p.m. Beach towels are provided, but only until 9 a.m. We left by bus, from there by taxi 15-17 dirhams. A green taxi is cheaper. It takes 15 minutes to drive. The sun is active, you burn out instantly, 2 hours will be enough. The sea is gorgeous 27-28 degrees. The hotel has a swimming pool, sun beds, towels, hammam, sauna, Jacuzzi. Everything is clean. It was very hot to walk on the street, it was 38 degrees. Stuffy, high humidity. There is a lagoon and a palm grove near the hotel, where you can stroll and admire the beauty. Dirhams are better to change at home, when exchanging dollars here you lose about three rubles per dollar. The exchange rate in Russia is about 24 rubles per dirham, if you convert dollars into dirhams it will be 27p. Nearby there are KFS, Burger King,Baskin Robbins, nesto, lu-lu, day tu day supermarkets-it is the cheapest. Karakeeb outlets. It's something like our last name and a second - hand store.There are two of them not far from each other. You can buy new branded items from the previous collection there. But, there are a lot of fakes and replicas. We need to search. Near the market there are famous steam trains. Where everything is located can be viewed on the map. In 2 GIS, you download the map of Sharjah, it works without the Internet. You can get from the Dubai Mall in this way: take the subway to Union station, 8 dirhams,near it there is a bus station,bus E303 goes to the trains. But, you need to buy a card that costs 25 dirhams. By taxi, 80-90 dirhams if there are no traffic jams . If someone likes a varied vacation, then you are here. If it's a beach resort, I would recommend a red castle near a beach of an average price category.

We stayed at this hotel in early December 2024. If you are considering this holiday destination in December, it is advisable to fly in the first half of December. I liked the hotel itself, it was clean and delicious, there were many cafes in front of the hotel, and the rooms were spacious. We took a room for two adults and one child of 7 years old without an extra bed for a child and accommodated without any problems, because the beds are large. The hotel has its own territory, which is not often found in Sharjah city hotels, and this is a plus. There are long queues for transfers to the beach, I didn't like it, you can't walk to the beach. The beach is wonderful, the water is clear, the gentle approach is hundreds of meters, perfect for children. I'm attaching an advertising booklet from a cafe that was our favorite. There are delicious sets, an unremarkable-looking place, everything is delicious and good passability, it is located across the street from the hotel.

Great hotel. Clean rooms, cleaning every day. The food is different, I think everyone will find something to eat. The location is convenient, but since this is a city hotel, it's a long way to the beach, but there is a transfer to the beach and back. The pool is large, clean, heated.
