There can be a full 4 stars provided that the temperature in the pool is 30 degrees. The breakfasts are good, typical for the Emirates. The location is excellent: near bazaars (trailers) fruit, vegetable, meat, fish, clothing, gold; supermarkets (Lu-lu with a good exchanger; a walking area, a park, a lagoon, a color and musical fountain. Russian Russian-Emirati travel company has an excellent representative working at the hotel with good offers for excursions with Russian guides. I travel to this hotel all the time, especially since there are options for economical air tickets from AirArabia. Despite being a low-cost airline, baggage weight is 23 kg, hand luggage is 10 kg. If you're flying from a tour operator, they'll also give you lunch.

Location: in the center, shops nearby. There is a shuttle service to the beach, but it was more convenient for us to take a taxi. One way is 12-15 dirhams. We had breakfasts, but there was a wide enough choice for every taste. The staff is polite. Any request is an instant response. The room was cleaned every day. Great pool. And, by the way, absolutely free deck chairs. People don't do stupid things, in terms of throwing a towel on a chaise longue and occupying it for the whole day. In general, everything is great. I didn't see any flaws. If you really want to relax, this is the place to be.

Good location, helpful staff, always in the room, bottled water and everything you need. The only moment is once, twice a day, a bus goes to the sea, they take the guests away and also back It would be convenient if there was at least one transfer per hour. The wide range of dishes in the restaurant was constantly changing. The food is delicious. A nice swimming pool, a sauna, a Jacuzzi, and a steam room are all free of charge.

The room was small but cozy, with a balcony with a magnificent view of the lagoon. Meals: buffet. What I particularly liked was the "extended" time frames for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We only had breakfast and dinner, which was enough, but it wasn't tied to the hotel. The food is not all typical of Russian cuisine, but we were quite satisfied. Everything that is described on the hotel's website was present: refrigerator, safe, iron, hairdryer, tea, coffee, shower, slippers in the room, swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, etc.

Excellent hotel, new, clean, cozy rooms, wonderful restaurant.But, most importantly, its location!!! In the city center and on the shore of the bay!!! You've just come out and you're on the embankment or in a palm grove. Within walking distance of shopping malls Lulu , Nesto, Sharjah city center, market. A huge territory with a swimming pool, courts. For me, this is the best hotel in Sharjah so far!

We just got back . Good price/quality ratio. There is a bus to the sea in the morning, you can return by taxi (about 20 dirhams), or by bus for about an hour. There is a pool for children. We only took breakfast, in principle, everything is there. There is a fish and vegetable market nearby. Embankment , palm grove. There is a place to walk . The staff is friendly. I definitely recommend it.

The hotel is beautiful, clean, the rooms are cleaned, the staff is friendly, there is a free shuttle service to the sea (a small bus and a long queue in the sun). And there is one big disadvantage. The only drinks are tea/coffee, orange/apple juice and water. Only for breakfast! Only WATER for lunch and dinner. The food is edible, but scanty and peppery. They say there are so many places in the UAE with drinks, but this is our first time here and it's a big nuisance for us, I order all inclusive. The receptionist said to tell us the room number and they would give us juices, but it looks like begging. There are 2 restaurants, a lobby cafe and a pool bar on site. In fact, only one main restaurant is open, the pool bar has been open for 3 days for 1 day and on this day it turned out to take juice. There are price tags for everything in the lobby bar. Once I managed to get one free tea bag. The next time they told us it was for a fee So where all inclusive is here is not clear. Naturally soft. No alcohol. I would give it 3 stars, but because of the friendly staff, I can't.

We returned from a vacation from this hotel yesterday. I liked the hotel. The location is very good. Everything is nearby, shops, market. We took breakfast. There wasn't much choice, but we weren't hungry. The hotel is located next to the lagoon, near the palm grove, we walked every evening. The tours were booked from Said Tour. We read the reviews about them and decided to get to know the country with them. We recommend this travel agency! Very good organization, even water was distributed to everyone on the bus, it was very hot. But there is a big disadvantage in the hotel. This is a transfer to the beach and back. This is the first time we've encountered this. The buses are small, but there are sooo many people who want to buy. Waiting for the bus for tourists, for some reason, took place under the bright sun, without any shade. And how people boarded the bus is a different story. You could have just joined the queue, but no! They push just to get in, regardless of the children,! I don't want to blame the tourists, this is a bad transfer arrangement by the hotel! This is a big disadvantage for the reputation of this hotel. The situation is even worse, as people are already being delivered from the beach,! There, in general, it was necessary to jump on the bus, no one wanted to stay under the scorching sun and wait for the next bus. There is also no canopy to hide under. The second disadvantage is the cleaning of the room, they didn't clean every day, they took away towels, and forgot to bring clean ones. It happened three times. Please kindly ask the hotel administration to consider the transfer arrangements.

The disadvantages are poor sound insulation and poor transfer arrangements to and from the beach. Otherwise, everything is fine! The location is excellent, the rooms are clean, the cleaning is tolerable. Restaurant: the breakfasts and lunches are good, the dinner is weak, but you won't stay hungry.

In the UAE for the fourth time. We have been to Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman. This hotel is the worst. Minuses: 1) check-in was expected exactly until 14 after the flight, it's hard, but that's okay-the rules; 2) transfer to the sea, to Deira-it's always stressful, a lot of people, few places, plunged into the era of the Soviet Department with queues and pushing people; 3) the food is super monotonous, the same every day. A star for high-quality cleaning, a star for a large territory (there is a place to walk), a star for the location

Pros: Convenient location of the hotel; large Parking; hearty (but monotonous) breakfasts. Cons: the staff is either poorly trained, or this is the policy of the hotel all the time not to give something to the guests. Despite the tips, we missed towels, toilet paper, and paper napkins every day. The cleaning is substandard. Daily humiliations, requests to bring missing items, calls to the reception. They'll bring it, but in an hour or two. However, this is the problem with all the hotels in the Emirates where we lived. This attitude has been seen only in the UAE, Qatar and Egypt. We travel often.

A good location is true. The rooms are renovated, but they are already a little shabby, there is a problem with the bathroom in all rooms, water is all over the floor, there is no normal partition. We are having a rest here for the second time and I will say for me another significant disadvantage is that they give only water at lunches and dinners. There are no juices, tea, coffee. Although it was half a year ago, the concept was shortened in one word. And also transfers to the beach, they repeatedly came up with complaints about the late arrival of the bus to the beach, for pick-up at the hotel. But they just shrug their shoulders. People stand in the middle of the heat for an hour waiting for a transfer. The travel agent herself is not very pretentious as a tourist, but then something got worse.

For the first time in the Emirates, there is nothing to compare. I really like it, the hotel is clean, the pool is not big, there are umbrellas and sun beds, towels are provided. It is not located on the first line in the city, but there is a place to walk. There is a palm park and a promenade nearby. There is a shuttle service to the beach, but once a day at 9.00 there and at 13.00 back.

I'm currently staying at this hotel. If the sea is not important, then you can go to this hotel. + Location near the park and the embankment, all kinds of cafes. - There is no coffee machine in the hotel! Coffee from the samovar! The pool is always filled with noisy Arabs. There are few umbrellas by the pool. Cleaning is late by 13:00, my room was always not cleaned. As for the food. Don't wait for grilled meat! The food is delicious, but the choice is small, a lot of pepper is added!In general, the hotel will do for 1 time.

The rest time is September 1-8, our flight was delayed for 6 hours from Moscow, so we got to the hotel almost at 00. At the reception, a nice receptionist greeted us with a smile.they asked for a higher one , and separate beds , as I was vacationing with a friend .As a result, the 12th floor has a side view of the lagoon .the room is great, everything is clean and everything you need was available.there are no complaints about cleaning. We had two meals a day.I honestly don't understand why some people are unhappy.decent food, water and juice for free.Yes, tea and coffee at dinner are paid.but this is the case all over the world!what the people are surprised and outraged about.in many hotels, even water for dinner is charged.You can change dinner for lunch! Transfer to the beach at 9, back at 13, everything is clear on time.if there are a lot of people and everyone is not accommodated in one bus , another one is served immediately ! We went on Friday by free transfer to Dubai Deira Center, from there by metro to Dubai pier, direct metro line Back at 21 we came back The hotel is located on the embankment, where it is pleasant to walk, to the trains 15 min walk, to the fish market 30 min walk (they bought shrimp and squid there, they cooked them for us), as well as mangoes and sweets 10-15 minutes walk to Lulu's store , where you can change money , we bought juices and ice cream there We took a taxi to the Sharjah Center shopping center , about 14 dihrams We had an early check-out, lunch boxes were prepared for us ( of course we warned in the evening) The pool in the hotel is clean , does not smell of chlorine , there are enough sun beds , a lifeguard is sitting .there is a sauna, hammam and Jacuzzi by the clock, men's and women's watches In conclusion, I want to say that the hotel fully met my expectations.Thanks to all the staff!

This is a good city hotel. Don't treat it like a beach and everything will be fine. A transfer to the beach, a weak spot, a small bus, a tense moment from here , everyone wants to leave, it starts, skip the children and the like , and the next flight is at least half an hour. And it 's too late to go back at 13, so get ready for a 15-20 derham taxi. the rooms are comfortable, cosmetics, vodka is replenished every day. The flavors of the air are everywhere, the food is not bad. We took half board for breakfast + dinner, more than enough. There is a big, But there is a sense of a passing courtyard, then a wedding, then a business gathering, then a children's birthday party. It is clear that they earn money, but..... And the pool is heated and cooled depending on the season, But, again, there is a courtyard, you will not be able to soak up in the evening, the locals ...., children, burqas, football section !!!!!, in the same place, the whole crowd is a so-so impression.

The food is not tasty, monotonous and bland, you can eat for a day or two, it's not an option (Filipinos cook and add all sorts of rubbish to it in their own way). There's no drunk in the hotel, forget it! Nobody talks Russian at the hotel either (bear with it)! The TV in the room is a scrap metal box, it doesn't show anything except local channels, and the toilet is also low-level! I've been better!

Holiday International Hotel is located in one of the best areas of Sharjah by the beautiful lagoon. There is a magnificent view of the lagoon with skyscrapers around. Everything is green along the shore. A fountain works periodically every day - a single jet with a height of up to 80 meters. They also include colorful singing fountains in the evening - on the far edge of the lagoon - perfectly visible from the balconies of the hotel and very beautiful! If possible, it is better to choose a room with a view of the lagoon. This is the south-facing side of the hotel. Here is the most beautiful view - the lagoon is fully visible and the Persian Gulf is slightly visible. Facing west, the entire Persian Gulf and part of the lagoon are visible. Facing north, the Persian Gulf and the city are visible. Facing east, the city is visible and a small part of the lagoon is diagonally visible. The hotel stands apart, there is a large private free parking with always free places - this was important for us, since we were on a rental car for all 14 days. The interior of the hotel in a modern style is made of quite good materials - a pleasant impression is created. Excellent Mitsubishi elevators - 3 elevators run silently and quickly. I didn't have to wait for them - they literally come right away. The climate control unit is working well. The entire hotel has a comfortable temperature. Number: The rooms are quite spacious - all rooms have balconies The temperature is conveniently adjustable. New LED lamps give bright good light (not as usual in the dark). Wide beds. There is an iron with ironing board. There is an electric kettle. Lipton tea bags, nescafe tea bags, water (2-3 half-liter bottles), sugar are replenished daily. There is a refrigerator. Quite a spacious bathroom with comfortable shelves and hooks. There is a hair dryer. They put conditioner, shampoo, shower gel, body balm in single bottles and soap. They are replenished as they are spent. Towels are changed daily. There was always hot and cold water. Now about nutrition: We only took breakfast. The choice is quite diverse. I will not describe it in detail. In general, it is delicious. My personal breakfast score is 4+. Lunch or dinner was not taken because it was unreasonably expensive - if you take it on the spot, then 85 dirhams per person, and if you order it on tour, you get 50 dirhams per person, which is also unprofitable. There are many cafes and restaurants near the hotel where you can eat delicious food for only 20-30 dirhams per person. I will not describe all the points of third-party catering, since this does not apply to the hotel, but right in front of the hotel at the traffic light there is an excellent Syrian restaurant Anbar Alsham with very tasty and inexpensive cuisine. Swimming pool: The pool area is large. There are always free sun beds. Towels are provided nearby. The pool itself is not very large, but it is quite large enough. There are usually few people in it at a time. There is a frog house. The water is cooled and comfortable. We were in late September-early October, when the water in the bay was still too warm +33-34 degrees, and in the pool it was quite comfortable +29-30. There is a small children's slide and a swing nearby. The overall impression is excellent! The beach in the Persian Gulf: The hotel takes its own free buses to the bay to Al Khan Municipal Beach - 6 km from the hotel, within 10 minutes on the way. The beach is free for hotel guests, and in general the price for 1 person is 10 dirhams. Check out of the hotel at 09.00, return from the beach at about 12.30 (according to the schedule at 13.00, but it seems that because of the heat they took us earlier, so we saw buses coming from the beach around 12.30. We ourselves were on the beach by car from 7 to 9 in the morning, while it was not hot. Parking near the beach is free, the passage is free according to the hotel card, then walk to the water within 100 meters. You can also go to the beach, but this is already 40 dirhams per car. The beach is good, the entrance to the sea is gentle, as in principle everywhere in the bay. The toilet and changing rooms are located in the part of the beach farthest from the entrance - about 500 meters, which is not very convenient. Sun beds-umbrellas are very expensive (30 dirhams one sunbed and in my opinion 10 dirhams an umbrella) - no one takes them. All are placed on towels, which are also provided at the hotel. Other: They take you free of charge from Monday to Friday to the Dubai City Center for about 4 hours. The hotel's WiFi is free and quite good. It works throughout the hotel and in about half of the pool area, which is closer to the hotel building. Personal conclusion: In general, a very good hotel in terms of price-quality ratio!
