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

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

Quite a good hotel, friendly staff. The rooms are large, there is everything you need (soap accessories, bathrobe, slippers, hair dryer, iron, towels, kettle, tea, coffee). Yes, the hotel is old, the bathroom especially needs renovation, but it's in the description, the year of construction and so on.
We took full board, we are satisfied.
Breakfast: cereals, eggs, sausages, bread, mini sandwiches, cereals, cereals, greens, vegetables, stewed beans, chickpeas, jams, sour cream, feta cheese, tea and coffee bags, sprite, juice;
lunch (watermelons, soup, rice, potatoes, pasta, beef goulash (delicious and soft) , fish in batter, broccoli in batter, chicken, various sauces, olive oil, dessert - cakes, whipped cream, pudding;
dinner: lunch assortment, but another cooking option, for example - mashed potatoes or fries, breaded chicken, no fruit.
You can't take it to the room.
The hotel has an office of a tour company, the manager is Fuad, speaks excellent Russian, our former compatriot from Baku. Prices are lower than others by $ 10-15, the range is large, he will advise and tell you. We took 4 excursions from him.
The sea is nearby, 5-7 minutes on foot, the roads can be crossed without problems.
Within walking distance of 7 -10 min. min. Nesto hypermarket (turn left, straight ahead, without turning anywhere, just behind the mosque). Prices are normal (mango from 10 dirhams, strawberries 2.5 dirhams, etc.) Along the way there is a pharmacy, cafes, KFS, shops, flowers.
There is a daily shuttle service from the hotel, see the photo for more details.
It is not suitable for children under 3 years old for sure, there is nothing for them, there is practically nothing to feed them, there is also nowhere to walk.

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

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

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

I liked the hotel. There is a shop, a cafe and a chic city beach with a stunning sea)The hotel itself is on a 5-point scale: the room is 4 (large, comfortable, the humidity in the bathroom is high, the rest is normal)
, breakfasts are 4 (fresh, the variety is not great, but everything is delicious), room service is 5 (water, tea, coffee, sugar and fresh towels were brought every day,they asked about cleaning)
In general, for me the hotel is more of a solid 3, but we were comfortable and had enough.We came by and large for the sea, not for the service)

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

It's a sin to complain, there are disadvantages, but there are enough advantages. The staff is executive and friendly. 10 minutes lazy walk to a great beach. Dubai, figuratively speaking, can be reached on foot. A relatively humane price tag.
The only thing I didn't like was the lack of normal windows and the ability to dry things. But they adapted by hanging hangers on the slightly open transom

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

I've been to the Arab 27 times, I know every bush here! We had a rest in December 2023! And it was the worst vacation ever!!! The food is terrible, the dishes are minimal, everything is tasteless and relocated. For breakfast, they pressed a rotten salad from dinner, fruit at the very minimum, no porridge, no milk. No juices, some kind of carbonated drink for three kopecks. The room is teeming with huge cockroaches, I even found one in my suitcase, I was very afraid to bring it to Moscow. There were BEDBUGS on the next floor and the whole child was bitten. The beach is urban, very close, it was not bad. The hotel has a cafe and a small shop nearby, where we bought milk. Comrades, do not believe anyone-this hotel is exactly 2 stars and you will greatly overpay

We rested for 7 days. The hotel is good, there is not enough check-in from the sky, but it has no terrible flaws.
Positive aspects:
1. Infrastructure
- near the beach. 5 minutes on foot and you are on the beach, the beach is free for the hotel (you need to show a voucher for the tour, you can take a photo). An umbrella was kindly provided to us at the reception.
- nearby supermarkets and cafes. There are several cafes nearby, a good coffee shop opposite, a supermarket on the way to the beach and a large hypermarket 10 minutes walk to the center. Candy and mango shop (5drx per kg) at the Carlton Hotel, 5 minutes.
- you can walk to the embankment. 20 minutes or by taxi 14-17 dirhams (depends on traffic jams).
- there is a small aquarium nearby for 5 minutes.
- water park, 15-20 minutes on foot.
2. Nutrition
We had full board
There is always a choice, even if you come 10 minutes before the end of the meal.
Breakfast: standard boiled eggs and omelette, fried sausages, vegetables, salted cheese (such as feta), pasta, porridge (liquid), something else, tea bags, instant coffee, chilled water, hot milk and juice (something between upi and packaged), honey, jam, bread, flatbread. You can make toast.
Lunch: vegetables, salads, soup, meat of 3 types (chicken, fish and beef), rice every day, potatoes/pasta, dessert of 2 types, fruit (either picked or orange with apples). Bread, flatbread. Drinks are standard.
Dinner: vegetables, salads, rice, pasta/potatoes, chicken, often as a side dish, 2 desserts.
The food is not spicy, sometimes something is cooked a little sharper, but it is not noticeable and it will be 1 dish.
3. Staff
There is a receptionist at the reception-a woman speaks Russian. The rest of the staff understands something, something can be explained on the fingers, something with a translator on the phone. They do the cleaning, but they didn't see the wet one, the floors are swept, towels were changed, 2 bottles of water every day. It can be replenished in the eating area. Shampoos, gels, toothpastes, razors - if you ask additionally give. Everything is present in the room upon check-in.
Negative aspects:
1. The road
Near the seaport, the hotel is on the road and a lot of noise goes through the windows. There are not much sidewalks - if you have a baby carriage, you will have to jump a little, but we are fine - we are used to it. You have to go for a walk either to the embankment or turn into local neighborhoods - it's quiet and peaceful there.
2. There is no hood in the bathrooms
, as I understand it. Therefore, there may be foreign odors.

The hotel is normal, not wow, but if you go for a short time and only sleep there, then it will do. The sea is 7-10 minutes away at a calm pace. The beach is paid, but if there is a voucher from the hotel, then the passage is free. Rent a sunbed for 10 dirhams. For breakfast, eggs, porridge, rice, cereals, always something oriental like beans, sausages. There are always pastries, toast bread, honey, jam. Also olives, vegetables, soft cheese. Tea bags, instant coffee. For dinner, there is almost always 1 type of meat, 1 type of fish, 1 type of chicken, rice and another side dish, potatoes or pasta. Salads and pastries too. In general, it was always possible to choose something.
Linen and towels were changed every day, but the cleaning leaves much to be desired. The staff is friendly. Beach towels are provided. There are free buses to some shopping centers, the schedule is available in the lobby of the hotel.

The stated 4 stars are of course too much. We had a rest in 22 in the three-piece Citimax Ras el Khaimah, so it's much better there. The room stock is tired, I have not seen the renovation, the staff is smiling and friendly as everywhere else in the UAE., this always pleases in this country, unlike the aggressively intrusive Turkey and Egypt. The sea is close, the Windows are on the road, there is no sound insulation in the windows, so you sleep like on the road. I was surprised by the situation with the restaurant, it simply does not exist, it is converted as they say in us for weddings, corporate parties, anniversaries and funerals, that is, it is not available for guests. Guests have a corner right at the entrance to the hotel on the ground floor in the lobby next to the reception. This is the first time I've seen this in 18 years of traveling around the world. The food is very poor, very! Breakfast: scrambled eggs, lettuce, toast, jam, beans, sliced sausages. Dinner: lettuce leaves, pasta, rice, fried potatoes, chicken in batter inedible from dryness, and something like beef goulash. There are no fruits and vegetables ever !! And no!! In general!! This is the first time I've seen this in a southern country. The hotel has clearly decided to keep the guests' meals to a minimum. Therefore , I put a three with a minus .

Very friendly staff! Room cleaning is daily (but the floor was not always washed all over the room, I don't know the reason ... maybe they thought it was clean, but we had a little dusty from the open windows). Clean towels were brought every day, bed linen was changed. They asked for a towel for their feet, they gave it without any problems. The road is noisy, so it is impossible to sleep with the windows fully open. Especially when a motorcyclist rides at night. The food is delicious, the main breakfast menu is repeated almost every other day, but we were delighted because it was very tasty. Porridges are really not very good, they are not used to eating liquid ones.
The woman at the reception speaks a little Russian.
Nearby cafes and restaurants with overpriced prices. On the contrary, the prices in the cafeteria are reasonable and also delicious. And the girl who works there, Nimmi, is just a kind-hearted little man)) will always help and tell you.
There are many small shops and cafes across the street and behind the nearest cafeteria. We ate there in an inconspicuous place once, we didn't go the second time. We were sitting outside, cats were climbing up to you, the toilet was all dirty and neglected. Although the hosts are friendly.
The grocery store is also much cheaper on this side than on the hotel side.
Near the grand hotel, on the way to the beach, there are shops at the hotel (thanks to the same comment, we went there). We collected chocolates with dates inside for 15d and mangoes already for 6d. This seller is not really bargaining, but they speak Russian) we understand each other well. The neighbor has a large selection of souvenirs, but we don't get carried away with such souvenirs and didn't buy anything. And to the right of the hotel, a girl and a guy are selling women's clothes and fur coats. Very friendly comrades! A large assortment of things, if you lack something, you can safely go here.
The beach is close, but to reach it you need to cross the road three times. And be prepared for roads without pedestrian crossings😄we were not ready))
In general, there is not much entertainment in the vicinity. The transfer from the hotel goes free of charge to Dubai Shopping Center and Sharjah. I'll attach a photo. We took a taxi to Sharjah city center a couple of times, it went out on 15-17d in one direction.
And there is also a heated pool on the roof, but at 28 degrees outside we boldly swam. A very friendly man works there. You can ask for umbrellas from him. Umbrellas and towels are also provided to the beach at the reception.
We are not picky and we really enjoyed the rest!

I'll start with the pros: friendly and helpful staff, the woman at the reception speaks a little Russian, which makes everything very simple if you don't know English well. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the beach, convenient if you come for a beach holiday.
Of the cons: the hotel is very tired and in need of repair, I attach a photo of the bathroom, everything is mildewed and rusty, water flows from the toilet and sink and the drain can not cope with this, it is constantly wet,only the built-in shower from above worked, the water did not switch to the faucet due to its breakdown, so without taking a full shower, hygienic procedures are not carried out. Again, returning to the pros, due to the listed problems with the bathroom, on the second day we asked to be moved to another room and it was done without problems. The room was a little better, but the bathroom was leaking everywhere too.I am attaching a photo of the bathroom from our first room. The furniture is antique, the room is noisy due to the proximity of the road. They position themselves as 4 stars, in fact 1+. The pool on the roof is also in terrible condition, we looked at it 1 time and did not go up again.The breakfasts are monotonous, there is no cheese, sausage, fruit (they were in winter).Of the vegetables, only a tasteless salad of tomatoes and cucumbers. Baking in the form of cupcakes is also tasteless.In the emirates, in general, the problem is to eat normally, there is only fast food with potatoes and burgers around.There is a supermarket 15 minutes from the hotel with an excellent assortment of products, and this is what saved us. There is also a profitable currency exchanger. The hotel has an excellent tour desk where you can buy a tour at a bargain price. Thanks a lot to the guide Faud, who told us in detail where it is worth going, and what it is better not to waste time on, and in general he helped us navigate the area. A great guide!
I do not recommend the hotel for recreation, it is located on the outskirts of the center of Sharjah and apart from the beach there is nothing interesting nearby, and to go to the center 2.5-3 km on foot, there are no buses, and you will not get a taxi. It is better to choose a hotel in the city center, because there is a free transfer to the beach from them, you will not stay without the sea, but there will be somewhere to walk in the evening.

The worst place, cockroaches walk, there is no food, only + a good beach
The whole impression of the UAE is ruined
If you just need to register, then you can
During the entire vacation (10 days), we did not receive towels to the beach once, - you can talk endlessly

The hotel itself is not bad, it is cleaned every day. Shampoo, conditioner, razor, too, every day. But in terms of food, it's a minus, you won't die of hunger, but there is no variety at all. Potatoes are always aldente, the omelet is powdered, there is no juice only jupi. Coffee powder.

The food is normal, but the choice is not great. The room was killed with mold, repairs probably were not done from the building. The room is spacious, tea and water were brought every day. Only one towel per person, changed every day

There is enough food, but monotonous from the word at all. The rooms are huge, nice, but the cleaning is a problem) the location is excellent, 3 minutes to the beach, 3 minutes to supermarkets with exchangers. I was resting alone, so everything was fine with me.

A very old and tired hotel with dead plumbing, besides. They kill breakfasts, it's the same food and so on all the time!!!
Al Bustan needs renovation anyway!
Thanks to the guy who cleans the rooms on the fourth floor. Number 435 and 432!

We visited this hotel in November.The hotel is 4 stars, but in fact I would put 3.Before choosing a hotel, I read reviews that say the cons and pros of the hotel.Upholstered furniture is old, which has not seen dry cleaning for a long time.Plumbing in the rooms : the water stagnates in the sink, the toilet button sinks.The bathroom is slippery and you can fall.There are cockroaches running around in the room, there is mold.The cleaning was good, although for some reason the towels were large, but they did not put small ones for the face.The condition of the towels is snow-white, the bed linen is also snow-white.The man cleaning the room always refreshed it with fragrances.The kitchen is monotonous, sometimes there were not enough pies and watermelon if you come late for dinner or lunch.The staff at the reception does not speak Russian.., but the guide Faud knows our language perfectly.The waiters were great, but sometimes they didn't have time to bring the plates.In general, the reviews are objective, but the shortcomings are not eliminated.
So those who want to take a break from everyday problems may be disappointed.

The hotel is old.The rooms need to be renovated.The plumbing is leaking.There is always a huge puddle on the floor from the air conditioner.We had breakfast and dinner.Everything is quite edible.but monotonous.The only joy is the sea.It takes 5-7 minutes to reach it at a calm pace.
Shops, cafes nearby.It is a 15-minute walk to a large supermarket.As you leave the hotel, immediately turn left to the bridge.If you want to shorten the road, you can run under the bridge (on the grass) In general, the rest was a success.It's a decent hotel for that kind of money.

I am writing a review online, we are currently resting from 11.11.23. In previous reviews, they write that the hotel is "tired", but it is "dead". The only plus is that they are settled immediately upon arrival and the proximity of the bay (but this is not the merit of the hotel). Everything is very old and dirty. From linoleum!on the floor to the furniture. In the bathroom there is an eternal puddle on the floor: it is damp, slippery. The light in the room is dim as in a dungeon, there are almost no windows (narrow slits) . Daily cleaning does not change anything: the puddle in the bathroom immediately returns. A towel for the legs was barely begged, and for the face only for 3 days. The staff is no: my yours does not understand. The only lady who speaks Russian only pretends to be trying to help. Regarding the infrastructure: it is 40 minutes on foot. I was pleased with the sea and the beach. I do not recommend the hotel.

I was here on vacation. I am satisfied with the hotel. The beach is a 10-minute walk away. The staff is excellent. The service is good. I took meals: breakfast, dinner. At the same time, dinner can be replaced with lunch, which is quite convenient. For a trip to the beach, a towel and an umbrella can be taken at the reception

Very attentive staff, ready to help at any time and with any question. The food is simple, but enough to not be hungry. The rooms are cozy, with minor flaws. And the main advantage is that the beach is a 5-minute walk away.

The hotel is nice, clean. There were 9 nights, every day they clean, put gels, shampoo, balm, toothbrushes with paste, razors with balm, everything is disposable. Towels are changed every day and two bottles of water of 0.5 liters are put. Tea bags and sugar, kettle. We had three meals a day - the food was of the same type without frills, chicken, vegetables, potatoes, fruits were only at lunch. The beach is a 10-minute walk away. Locker room, toilet and shower, everything is very civil!!! We liked it 🥰 The only negative is the lack of a balcony, so the problem is drying clothes! Near the Nesto hypermarket.

Nice hotel. If you like to walk, then you can walk to the steam trains and the fish market (where you can choose fish or shrimp, give it to clean and give it to another window-cook). They mostly traveled by taxi, even for beer (which you can drink quietly at the hotel, but drunk without leaving the hotel). There is a beach nearby within walking distance and a little further

Great hotel!
I liked everything very much. Discussion, the room is large, cleaning every day. Tea and coffee in the room. One bottle of water per person, every day. We took full board meals. The lunches are delicious. There is always something to choose. Salads, soup, meat and fish every day. The juices are delicious. The beach is excellent within walking distance. Transfer to the shopping center and to Dubai. The staff is polite. If possible, we will do it again.
On New Year's Eve, we were covered smartly on the roof of the hotel.

Excellent hotel, buffet, but does not shine with variety. Per onal knows his duties. The sea is nearby, perhaps we would still fly

Not a bad hotel, not too tired, but acceptable. There is enough for food. Within walking distance of the beach, the ship museum, the aquarium and the port.

Excellent urban hotel) not far from the beach.5-7 minutes on foot. Other hotels get to the beach by taxi (or walk in the heat. There is a bus service to the center of Sharjah. And there is a bus to Dubai. This is a big plus, as taxis to Dubai are expensive))) the food is good! There is a choice. The hotel is suitable for those who come to work in the UAE.

A good hotel, the only drawback is the complete absence of its own territory. Otherwise, everything is pretty good.
