If you have a limited budget, but really want to go to the UAE, feel free to buy a tour to this hotel.
We took a Globe from Biblio, who disappointed us with his attitude to tourists. The departure of the 13th at 8.45 was postponed to 18.40! As a result, we were at the hotel at 2.30 am on the 14th!
However, I wrote to the hotel through Tophotels and they left us dinner! It was very pleasant. In general, the staff, in general, is wonderful. There is a Russian-speaking girl at the reception. But the guys are much more tactful and help more than she does if you speak English. We asked her to leave the lunch boxes because, again, an early departure back at 2.55 am. But as a result, they helped in the kitchen itself. She didn't even warn them.
If you know a number of nuances, you will enjoy your vacation!
So, we have been to many countries, different star hotels and we can say with confidence that the food is delicious! The choice is small, but everything is fresh and cooked by an excellent chef! Always sweet melon and watermelon, modest pleasant desserts, beef and chicken. It's quite diverse, I'm not tired of it in a week! Not a bit! We took three meals a day. If you buy there, then expect 40 dirhams per person. But, as the request of the hotel administration, replace the dishes. It's almost all broken. In Russia, this is a bad omen. Russian people don't like to eat from broken dishes! Somehow it caught the eye strongly.
I really liked the room. Everything is as in the photo. If something fails to turn on, go to the reception. They will do everything. I repeat, everyone is very polite. The mosque was audible, but not particularly annoying. If you don't want to hear prayers, then the rooms will be more expensive with windows in the opposite direction.
Beach. There is a separate story here. It will be difficult with children. There is no entertainment for them. There is a transfer at 9.30 and back at 12.45. Sometimes there were not enough seats, someone was brawling. It spoiled the impression a little. And it's expensive to go far and by taxi. 20-25 minutes . An hour and a half on foot. For us, this is a minus. But it's very beautiful there. And small, for those who are afraid to swim.
But the city beach is really good. 15 minutes from the hotel. But you have to run across the road. There are no pedestrian crossings.
In general, the hotel is not aimed at young children, in my opinion. There is no entertainment for them. There is only on the city beach.
Taxi (minimum cost) - 13.5 dirhams. This information will be useful to you. We tried to bargain and negotiate with the driver, it's inappropriate. True, one still gave a ride for 10, but he was playing around with the counter for a long time. This is rather an exception.
I don't recommend going to the Mega Mall, time wasted. Many shops are closed, mostly they are not for tourists.
Quite a good gold market, in the people - a steam train. There are very inexpensive and beautiful watches there. And there are more things and more.
We rested together with a friend very well. The temperature since January 13th has been a comfortable -25 on average. We also swam in the sea.
And yet, for the companies of girls information. There are several Syrians on the beach (as they say themselves, who work in Dubai). They stick to our girls with the same phrases, offering to ride with them, treat them to coffee and dinner, etc. Be careful. We're married and it wasn't interesting right away. However, this is all suspicious. Since they walk like to work. And they tell everyone the same thing every day. I wouldn't risk going anywhere with them. It's just a tip)

You know, a good place to sleep, eat and go about your business. The food is delicious, there is enough variety, but the sausages are tired (: there is a mosque nearby, this is, of course, a big minus: very loud. There are many shops and cafes nearby. The staff is friendly, not always cleaned, but you just need to ask. In general, the place for your money is very decent 🫶

A good three in Sharjah, the food is delicious for 5, 10 minutes walk to the sea, the rooms want cosmetic repairs, but you can spend the night. The question of price remains, who will be lucky, the spread is large.

Greetings! We were in the department from March 10 to March 20, 2023. So. Hotel. What are the disadvantages. There is a mosque nearby, prayer begins at 5 am, but on the second day they stopped noticing and paying attention. 2. There are no balconies, high humidity, nothing dries, especially HB, so you need to take T-shirts, underwear in such quantity so as not to wash. But these are not even minuses, but so that people have in mind. Not critical😉. The food is just fine, the choice is small, but everything is cooked perfectly, 3-4 types of salads, oranges in the morning from fruits, watermelons and melon for lunch and dinner. Hot - stewed vegetables, some kind of cereal, spaghetti, pasta, stewed potatoes (on different days), chicken, beef, sausages - always. Soups for lunch and dinner. Tea, coffee - only in the morning. For lunch and dinner - water. So we bought tea and sugar and quietly drank tea in the room. In-room safe, kettle, iron, ironing board. Wi-Fi throughout the territory, including in the rooms. Adapters for sockets are given. The water is hot and cold, there were no problems. Beach. They take you on a transfer, but it's tied in time, there's a magnificent city beach nearby, we went there. There are toilets, showers, everything is very clean. We went to Dubai by city bus. There's a subway down there. Guided tours, from $ 50, something 80, and above. There is no need to wait for a Turkish-Egyptian olinclusive from the hotel, remember that this is a budget three-piece. There is no need to look for minuses and spoil your rest and mood with this. Everything is even more than good👍

I'm looking for a positive in every trip! The hotel is good, the food is half board, you can change dinner for lunch, lunch for dinner. Even if you are going somewhere or walking, you can ask for a lunch box and pick it up at the reception. The sea is far from the hotel, every morning takes a shuttle to the beach where it is very good. The room is nice, the staff is friendly. Food like at home, meat every day.

A hole for the homeless, unsanitary conditions, poverty, everything is broken, torn off, the entrance door does not open, the eternal problem with the lock, mold in the shower stall. We have never seen such a hotel in our life, shame. There is also devastation on the territory, even there is not enough money for asphalt, just a mess of stones and earth. The mattress is crooked, you lie down and roll down on the floor, they asked to replace it, they did not replace it. I couldn't get rid of the feeling that we were in some kind of hangout. An Arab family settled in the neighborhood, the children screamed and jumped until 3 a.m., as if they were kept in a cage at home. There is a mosque 5 meters away, the loudspeaker wakes up at night, the decibels are off the scale, you jump up and down on the bed, then it's hard to fall asleep. But the restaurant is normal and even delicious. The sea is more than a kilometer away, but the beach there is filthy. Normal Al Khan Beach is 15-20 minutes away by an old bus without air conditioning. If my review is read by the management of the Belavia airline, then please think about the conditions in which your crews rest in this place, it's just disrespectful to employees.

I'll come back here again! For the not whimsical. The food in the hotel is for Russians. The chef is handsome! To the beach 10 minutes slowly. For alcohol addicts, 5 minutes by taxi and you are in Ajman at the alcohol market. And in general, there is just a great rest without it!)))

Rested in August 2022. Very hot. 33-35 degrees at night, 44-45 degrees during the day, and probably all 50 degrees in the sun. But the sea is very warm - you enter it like in a warm bath.
The hotel is located a 15-minute walk from the bay. There are few people on the beach in the morning, lifeguards are on duty, but there are no amenities - showers, changing rooms, toilets. Every day from the hotel they take you to Al Khan beach for free, there are all of the above. There are three large swings 50 meters apart from each other. Admission is free. They are taken away at 9 am, back at 12 o'clock. The hotel provides towels for visiting the beach.
Free shuttles are also organized by shopping centers in Sharjah - Mega Mall (6 times a week) and Sahara Mall (three times a week). They drive right up to the hotel and pick up everyone who wants to shop. The schedule is at the reception desk.
We went on our own to the Outlet, which is located a few kilometers from Dubai. First by taxi to the Jubail Bus station (15-20 dirhams, 40-45 minutes on foot). They bought a silver card there (an analogue of the "Troika" in Moscow), it costs 25 dirhams - 6 is the card itself and 19 is already on the account. We boarded the double-decker bus No. 303, reached the Union metro station (10 dirhams). Then there is one stop on the Burjuman metro (red line, fare 3 dirhams). From Burjuman there is a bus stop 100 meters away - No. 66 and No. 67 go to the Outlet every hour (cost 7.5 dirhams). Back from the Outlet, you need to cross the highway through the underpass, it's better to ask at the information desk on the ground floor or, as they have correctly, on floor G. There's a man speaking Russian.
The Royal Hotel itself is a typical three-piece. Clean and change towels every day, bed - in 2-3 days. They bring soap and shampoo. The room has a kettle, refrigerator, napkins. The TV shows 7-10 channels, one in Russian - Euronews.
The windows overlooked the mosque. Prayer began every day at four-thirty in the morning. Very loud. If you do not profess Islam, then it causes some discomfort.
The food is a buffet. It is adapted for Russian speakers. Soups, mashed potatoes, chicken, semolina porridge, oatmeal, omelets, eggs, pickles and unsalted, tomatoes, pilaf, meat, spaghetti... In the evening - slices of melon and watermelon, cakes. There are not many dishes in general, but everything is edible.
The gym is open from 10 am to 10 pm (it is opposite the restaurant in the hotel). It also has a small sauna. The gym is small, for 5-6 people at a time. Basically there are treadmills, stupas, exercise bikes. There is a pull-up stand and a press, several dumbbells, Pilates mats. Inside there is a shower and toilet.
The hotel is small, 4 floors. Half of the vacationers are from Russia. There are neighboring countries, Arabs. The staff are Sri Lankans, very polite, executive.
From the Royal Hotel you can easily walk to shops, shopping centers, hypermarkets, bakeries... The hotel is not located in the center of Sharjah, but also not in the backwoods. You can walk until late at night - there are no fights, drunken quarrels, screams.

A good hotel in terms of price-quality ratio. There is a free shuttle service to Al Khan Beach. You can also walk to the public beach of Sharjah (but there are a lot of Pakistanis there in the evening). There is an elevator. The room has a refrigerator, hairdryer, napkins. Shampoo and soap are reported as needed. There is a mosque nearby, so it is better to ask for a room with a sea view. The sound insulation was normal, nothing was heard at 5 in the morning. The breakfasts are hearty, there are several hot dishes to choose from, sliced, cheese in balls (I advise you!), pastries, desserts. The restaurant is a little stuffy. There is also a gym. WiFi is free, works well. Take adapters for sockets with you, here they are of the European type. The hotel provides an adapter, but it does not work well. Opposite there is a cafe with Indian food.

We had a rest from January 19th to 27th this year in this hotel. We arrived early, sat at the reception until two o'clock, it was very uncomfortable, it was simply impossible to get tired, we asked for at least tea, but nothing, not even water was offered. The staff guys are normal, there is a Russian-speaking Julia, but she does not decide anything, she can only promise and that's it. There is a man who says that he is in charge, I don't remember his name, he is very rude, he doesn't know how to talk to his tourists at all, it's useless to argue with him, the STAFF is a RUDE MINUS!!! The food in the dining room is delicious, the cook +.The room is average, they clean when you ask, but they don't come like that. There is a sauna, 2 people in sight, very dirty!There is a city beach in 15-20 minutes walk, but all the Arabs are there, they don't swim, but they sit and watch everyone, city people bathe in everything.Al Khan takes a bus to the beach twice, if there are a lot of people, then you are not lucky, because you will stay here for the whole day,a lot of people asked to allocate another bus, but the chief, I repeat, does not meet his tourists, just gives a rude answer!...Immediately leaving the hotel is very dirty, dirty water from the communication runs right from the side of the hotel, smells, flies are small!...It's very far to the center and to good shopping centers, you can't walk, buses don't run, it's very inconvenient.A hotel for 2 people or even a little lower will do. People, please, a little more expensive vouchers, but only for other hotels, it's not worth spending money here, I really regretted that I bought a ticket for this dirty hotel!... It didn't work out to have a rest from the soul. With respect to our tourists! Good luck to everyone!

Just returned from a vacation from this hotel. We arrived on the morning of January 14. They offered to check in immediately for an additional fee. Refused. We left our things and went to the sea. They came by lunchtime. We had lunch and were settled in. The room is small, but it was enough for us. Minus the windows on the mosque. Early in the morning, they turn on the speaker and you listen to their loud speech. They didn't change anything. Then they got used to it. They fed normally, in Russian. Borscht, pickle, with mushrooms, cutlets, cabbage rolls. They ate beef. At lunch, watermelons, melons. Coffee and tea for breakfast. And during the day, only water. If everything is included, then they additionally have juice. I even thought that I should have taken breakfast, dinner. Enough. The hotel does not provide drinking water. We bought in supermarkets. This is a one and a half liter bottle of 1 dirham (19 rubles to the ruble). They take you to the beach at 8.30 and 9.30, back at 11.45 and 12.45. After lunch we went to the municipal beach. It's 10 minutes from the hotel. Everything is very good there, changing rooms, toilet. Which is not very comfortable there are a lot of locals there. The sea is gorgeous. On January 15, I had an anniversary, I came to the reception. They promised a cake. But alas, she left without waiting. Although she reminded me twice. There is a Russian-speaking girl at the reception. We took one tour of modern Dubai. Booked back in Moscow.And on the beach you can buy much cheaper. There is an oceanarium near the beach, where they take you. And
there the entrance is free for pensioners. We showed our Russian pension plans and went to look. And so the entrance ticket is 25 dirs. (to the ruble about 500). I really liked the rest. I recommend the hotel

A modest, old hotel. Everything is there, but the bed linen and towels are in poor condition, the rooms smell damp. They clean up 2 times a week, the area around is unkempt, garbage is lying around, a mosque is nearby, someone will be disturbed by their prayers. The food is delicious, there is little choice, but you will not stay hungry.

Was in February 2023. Nice, of course there are comments: they could have washed the windows and washed the curtains, but in general, because of the location and the opportunity to go to the beach myself, I put a high mark. The food is no frills, but really delicious. The choice is small, but I was always happy with the cooked.

At first we were a little disappointed with the hotel, there is a construction site outside the window, mold on the sink, the light bulb is flickering... We informed the reception about the problem in the room.... Everything was fixed in the shortest possible time. And so the hotel is magnificent, sensitive and attentive attitude to hotel guests, delicious and varied food, transfer to the beach, shopping malls and the airport, free beach towels, rooms are constantly cleaned, linen and towels are changed on time.

We rested with a friend from February 06, 2023 for a week.I was immediately upset that we arrived at the hotel at 8 o'clock in the morning, and check-in at 14.00.I have been to the UAE more than once, and never from a night plane vacationers were kept in the lobby for several hours.For a fee -please, even now.If you don't pay, your room hasn't been cleaned yet! The hotel was half occupied.The rooms are ordinary, no frills.No water, no tea, no coffee-nothing, even as a greeting.There is a layer of greasy dust under the bed, the adapters do not work, the taps in the bathroom are flowing.If we don't like something, call us, they will do it, They cleaned the room on call, too, but there is one positive thing-they clean it with you.A separate song is breakfast.If you only have breakfast, then you need to buy everything in the store.For breakfast porridge, omelet (once there was this omelet porridge with rotten meat), chopped tomatoes and cucumbers, olives, olives, orange slices and one kind of buns.Everyone has one bottle of water.Coffee, tea in unlimited quantities.Breakfast is very modest.They save absolutely on everything!Right down to the toilet paper.We must ask them to bring it.Lunch is not bad, there is little variety, but everything is delicious.You won't stay hungry.You won't get much information during a meeting with a representative of a tour operator.If you don't take excursions, interest in you disappears immediately.And you won't see this representative again for the entire rest period.I want to say right away, so as not to forget that you will find out about the flight yourself.The driver is driving to the airport, without an escort.As a rule, the staff knows very little English, but you can learn everything on your fingers and gestures. There is a feeling that interest in you only until you pay for the ticket, and then somehow you will figure it out yourself.It is very difficult to get something out of the Russian-speaking girl Julia from the reception (she is from Ukraine), the information was extracted on the beach, since everyone got to know each other there and all Russian-speakers.Those who went on excursions were not very satisfied.They gather a bunch of people and all run after the guide, barely having time to hear and see something.All tickets to the most interesting places are paid separately.
Separately, it should be said that the hotel is located five meters from the mosque, so we listened to prayer every morning.The speaker is very loud.The mosque itself is beautiful.There is no territory around the hotel, dirt, the local population does not really keep clean, Children run in packs, yell, chase the ball,soda bottles are thrown right there.They took a bus to the beach, which is fenced and guarded.Very convenient.A small city beach is a 10-minute walk away.But a very clean toilet, locker room, shower.Everything is very civil.The only negative is a lot of Egyptians who cling, dance, grab hands.But you can dismiss them. You need to keep an eye on the bags.
They take you to shopping malls.There are branded stores there.There are shops with Indian-Pakistani goods near the hotel.I do not recommend the hotel! Spoil all impressions about the Emirates.It is better to take a little more expensive, but really relax, and not feel indebted for being allowed into this hotel.

The hotel is located in a remote quiet place, a quiet street, near the beach and a mosque. The rooms are comfortable, everything is there, everything works. Buffet meals, buffet for an additional fee of 30 dirhams. But there is a kettle in the room. There are good shops nearby, you can buy everything you need. The Internet works very well everywhere, the staff is friendly. There is a museum of Islamic culture nearby, entrance is 10 dirhams, description in Arabic and English, many halls, everything is interesting, it is possible with children from 5 years old. Nearby is also the Rain Museum and All rolla Square (entrance 2 dirzam). To the bus station on foot 35 minutes, by taxi 15 dirhams. I really liked the hotel.

I was at this hotel from March 29 to April 4, April 2021! I was surprised by the obsequious attitude of the service staff to us, tourists! The hotel itself is nice, the furniture is Oriental, the plumbing is excellent! In the restaurant, the senior chef Fatima cooks delicious and a lot! At lunch, for dessert, they gave watermelon (!) and pie, which the room took with it! At the reception, only Mohammed speaks Russian, English and understands the local Arabs! Very expensive excursions, so I did not take them, but went swimming and sunbathing on the "wild" beach, which is 10 minutes from the hotel!😣 It's hot in the afternoon, but it's cool in the morning and evening!!The water in the sea is warm, but when the waves are muddy!😣I put the air conditioner in the room at 25 ° and did not turn it off, otherwise you come from the beach - and the stuffiness in the room!!🙄Of the cons:-the area in front of the hotel entrance is not paved!That's why all the dust and dirt gets to the reception and to the rooms!🙄 Shops DON'T SELL souvenirs!!😣 Sellers don't know what it is!🤣 And it is desirable to remove the speaker on a nearby mosque or turn it in the other direction!😏 In general, I liked the trip to Sharjah!😍😣
