A great budget option. The hotel has been decorated since the 80s, but all the electronic equipment in the rooms is new. Quiet, calm, unobtrusive. The staff is friendly, they always help, there are people who understand Russian. The beach is excellent, the best among the coastal line. The food is excellent, the food is very tasty, we took FB, since we had a child, but we could also take HB, we ate too much. It is clear that there is no variety, but the choice every day is necessarily chicken, fish, beef in different cooking options. It is important to know that for late check-out, regardless of the time, only breakfast is counted on the day of departure, but if you missed dinner or lunch on the day of the tour, you need to indicate this and you will be rescheduled for lunch on the day of departure. You can also change lunch with dinner, talk in advance. Room cleaning is excellent, the advantage of having a kettle, cups, glasses, tea, coffee, sugar, dry cream in the room, replenishment daily, 1.5 liters of water per standard room. Supermarket is 200m away, on the left side. Every day, except Saturday, there is a free shuttle service to 2 different shopping centers. The schedule is given out upon check-in. The result is proximity to Dubai Emirate, cheaper transfer of excursions, private beach, excellent food.

A good hotel, the largest + has its own sandy beach with shells when there are no waves, you can dive in a mask (fish, crabs, starfish), two pools; one pool with a depth of 1 meter to 2.6 meters you can dive, the second pool for children is less than a meter, torn towels are given on the beach. The staff is friendly, they know a little Russian, but they speak English. There are small shops on the territory with clothes, jewelry, souvenirs and the most pleasant thing is inexpensive sweets, chocolates, mangoes and other goods. There are supermarkets, cafes within a 7-minute walk, and there is also an aquarium not far away. It takes about 30-40 minutes to walk to the amusement park and the water park. There is always a taxi near the hotel. The food went only for breakfast, it's not a bad buffet; vegetables, cheeses, toast, porridge, rice, pasta, canned fruits, donuts, muffins, juice, and more opened at 7:15 to 10:00, although written from 8 to 10. The room was provided for two with one bed, and we went to Troy with a child, you can order an additional bed for a child, but for an additional fee (daily), there are no toothbrushes and toothpaste, I had to buy in a store, as well as a weak pressure from the shower who likes warmer water, you can open one hot water to change the towels you need to leave They're on the floor. Room cleaning is normal if you leave a tip, they will put more tea and coffee. The room itself is good.

The hotel is not bad, it is located on the first line, near the pool and the beach. The food is quite tasty, although there is not much choice, but there was always fish and meat and chicken and salads, pastries and watermelons for lunch and dinner. The room was in the main building, cleaning every day, changing towels every day too, they gave one 1.5l bottle of water to the room every day too. The room has a small refrigerator, kettle, safe, large wardrobe, iron, scales, TV. There is a hair dryer in the toilet, but it is very weak. The air conditioner works well, even sometimes it was turned off. There are no complaints about the staff, they always helped when they asked questions. But the hotel itself is small, there is no entertainment in the evening. If the view from the room is of the city, then it is very noisy, because of the road that passes nearby.

We stayed at the Carlton Hotel in late March and early April.
We were in the UAE for the first time.
Of the advantages :
1 great location
2 the beach itself with fine sand is super
3 The Persian Gulf is beautiful.
4 relatively quiet
5 the hotel has a shop with date sweets, very tasty. For a normal price. Sellers gave sweets to all passing people.
6 the staff is quite attentive. If you don't like the room, then honestly the next day they can move you to a better room. We didn't change it. Everything was fine with us.
7 The room's air conditioning did not fail
8 shampoos, gels, soaps - I replenished everything daily, no matter how many hygiene products were left.
9 towels were changed every day, basically.
Minuses
1 for me, the biggest fat disadvantage was nutrition. I'm not a pretentious tourist, in terms of food. I usually don't fall for reviews like "food for 3, poor, nothing to eat", but this was not the case. There was really nothing to eat on some days. There was a feeling that the cooks alternated: one day everything was delicious, the next it was completely inedible. There is a very very poor selection of dishes.
2 dead sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach.
3 the hotel was undergoing renovation during our visit, my husband and I did not know about it. I couldn't sleep at lunch.
4 with beach towels - the trouble is: you can't take them to the room, if you hand over raw, then they won't give you a new one that day.
Probably, for me, that's all of the cons.
Would you come back to this hotel again? I think so, if the food had improved and the sunbeds from the umbrella and on the beach had been updated.

A wonderful hotel! Small, but very cozy and everything is at a high level! Excellent food, excellent beach and sea, do not regret the room with a sea view, it's worth it! Very high level of service, free daily transfer to Dubai and local shopping centers. Very tasty ice cream and smoothies, which are included in the all-inclusive system. Neat rooms, stylish interior. The location is very convenient. We recommend the hotel to everyone and will definitely come back again.

We had a rest from 06.04 to 12.04.2024, We really liked everything! Deluxe room, quite satisfied. The beach is gorgeous, the sea is clean, gorgeous, I'm in love. The location is very good, 10-15 minutes to Dubai. There is a port nearby. To take a sunbed with an umbrella, you will have to get up early, but this is everywhere. The cleaning is absolutely normal, there is no mold in the room. Before leaving, I read a lot of reviews and got upset. But in fact, I had a great rest. There are 0 complaints about the hotel, although I am quite picky. The food is good, of course, without frills, but everything is there and the food is delicious! Some people write that the food is terrible, it's not true. Maybe these people have been vacationing in luxury hotels and are comparing. In the emirates, vouchers to such hotels cost from 500 tons. I am very grateful to the staff, they always helped, answered questions. Everyone was satisfied with the rest!!! I would like to express my gratitude to the Sharjah Carlton Hotel and its staff!

We flew together with our daughter. I really liked everything! Buffet, rooms are cleaned every day. The beach is right in front of the hotel (we lived in a chalet). The pool is near the beach, the water is cooler than in the sea. We constantly hung out in it) there is a hotel nearby with a slide like in a water park, we also sometimes went to it (for free, they let everyone in). My daughter liked the slide there. The most important thing for us was the beach as in the bounty advertisement, so we chose this hotel. And you were not mistaken!!! The beach is its main advantage!!!!!!!! It was almost always empty, although there were people on the nearby beaches. There are a lot of shells, the purest water and sand. There is a photo zone made of stones on the edge of the beach. Photos are a bomb! On food: we took breakfast and dinner, you can change dinner for lunch. The food is not just insanely diverse, but it seems to me that in 7 days we took everything new every time. It is delicious, there is something to eat for both children and adults. In general, I strongly advise everyone! There is an amazing aquarium and 2 supermarkets nearby. There are also souvenir shops in the hotel itself: chocolate-covered dates, insanely sweet and cheap mangoes, magnets, etc.

The location of the hotel is good, right on the shore of the bay. There is a private beach, umbrellas and sun loungers on the beach, there is a shower. The sand is fine white, but dirty, there is garbage and cigarette butts. The approach to the sea is gentle, calm in the morning, after lunch there is a small wave. When checking into the hotel, they give you a card for a beach towel, you exchange it and go, but if you lay down in the morning and left the beach at lunch and handed over the towel, then they won't give it to you a second time, they say leave it on the beach, nonsense of course! The hotel itself is old, in need of renovation. The rooms are normal, there is everything you need, clean, cleaned every day. They put a 1.5 liter bottle of water for free every day. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. The breakfasts are very modest, the choice is small.

Great hotel, beach at your feet. The pool is excellent, there is a small heated one for children nearby. The food is monotonous, but we went on excursions to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, etc. Next to the hotel there is a public beach where there is a cool swing with locals you can play ball, all kind and polite. You can walk to the aquarium. The water in the sea is simply gorgeous. The room is cleaned every day.

The hotel is not bad, rather 3 stars than 4. A huge plus is the first line, a wonderful beach with umbrellas and sun beds, enough for everyone. Besides, who wants a shadow, there is a shadow from the building. The entrance to the bay is beautiful, sand. Not everyone likes that it's small, like we do in Finnish, but it suited me. There are adult and children's pools. The towel is given out once, it is better not to return it, they will not give it a second time. The staff speaks Russian, some are better, some are worse. The rooms are cleaned, bed linen is often changed, and towels are on request, as I understand it. They also put everything for the bath.There are shower gels, shampoos, even body lotions, which is rare. There are also shower caps. They don't put slippers and bathrobes, you have to ask. The rooms are located so that the sun does not get in, there are balconies. The rooms are medium in size.There are kettles and tea and coffee bags are placed every day. They put a large bottle of water. There is also an air conditioner. The food is not very fancy, but it's enough, you won't be hungry. We took breakfasts and dinners. Breakfast is often served with over-fried foods, but dinners are generally good. We lived in a chalet. Upon check-in, an unpleasant incident occurred. I do not know who is to blame: the hotel or the tour operator Biblioglobus. We discussed a 2nd floor chalet with a balcony and sea view..No one said that the number of floors is questionable. But we were not even settled in a 2-storey building, but in a real barn. It was damp, insects were crawling, there was no view of the sea, the yard, the sea from the side. They said there were no places. Of the 6 nights, 2 spent there, then a separate guide arranged for relocation. There is a shop at the hotel, where you can buy everything.Souvenirs, dates, chocolates, clothes. Free buses take you to the malls. In general, we liked the hotel, we can have a good rest. Of course, it's not the most luxurious hotel, but it's quite decent.

A cozy and small hotel that you want to return to. There are disadvantages, but when you go to the beach, everything dissolves! The staff is good, they respond to requests and questions. The food is average, but you will not stay hungry. The rooms are large, the atmosphere is normal. All accessories are available in the bathroom. There are shops and a couple of cafes near the hotel. We rested for 7 days and we liked it!

As all travelers like to write:a very tired hotel, with old furniture and plumbing, but there are also big advantages:friendly staff, good breakfasts and the first line, I will not exchange it for a good hotel in the city center, taking a transfer to the beach is not for me, but here 20 meters and the purest water at your feet.The pool deserves special praise:clean, cool, multi-level.

There was a week in April 2024. Really the best beach on the coast. The small hotel was built in the 70s, but clean, tidy and renovated. Separate 5 stars for the staff, they will always help. Room service is above praise, especially for a 4-star hotel. We took two chalets with sea views. On the ground floor, they complained of a slight dampness in the evening. I liked everything on the second one. The rooms have standard bath kits: shampoo, gel, lotion, cap, nail file, cotton swabs, bathrobe, slippers, towels. There is a safe in the room, a mini-bar, a table book, standard booklets with a restaurant schedule, a blackboard, an iron, scales, a set of threads and an adapter in the socket by the bed. They cleaned well every day. For a family holiday, a quiet, great place with a wonderful, affordable location.

Great hotel, 20 years only here and I try others, but I always come back only to this place! Price, rooms, food, staff, I like everything! I was on July 10, 24, I was very happy, there was no special heat, I tolerate 33-37 well, and the water in the sea is magic 30-32, and the pool is 29 for contrast! I choose only this hotel and the welcoming side of Alhalidia!You will be happier on vacation with them

A hotel with a private beach. We were in early December, there were not many people, there were enough sun beds for everyone. The sea was stormy for a couple of days, then we swam and the water was warm enough. We lived in a chalet, the room was large, the furniture was old, but good, the plumbing worked. There is a safe in the room, a refrigerator that is well cooled. There is no window, there is a large floor-to-ceiling glass near the door, but I had to close the curtain. In principle, if it weren't for the smell of sewage, everything is decent.
The food is not important, the breakfast is very bad. Besides porridge, hard-boiled eggs, questionable cheese , sausage, rolls in the form of croissants, there is nothing to eat. They saved themselves with toasted bread and butter. Occasionally there was an omelet undercooked. Tea and so-called coffee from the tank, the juice is synthetic, there is no water at all. Only 1.5 liters per day which is put in the room.
Lunch and dinner are more decent, you can choose something. Of the fruits, only watermelon, but delicious. Desserts are not numerous, some are edible. All this did not prevent us from gaining weight)))
Nearby the aquarium is not bad, there was a holiday and they let it in for free. We went to the supermarket, the prices are horse-drawn. It is cheaper to buy mangoes, chocolate-coated dates and fake Dubai chocolate in the hotel store. There is no alcohol in Sharjah. You can go to Ajman, there is an Oscar liquor store near the Ajman Beach hotel, there are many discounts and prices are cheaper than in duty free.
The cockroach did not come to us, but the neighbors complained. We went on excursions, we liked everything, especially the flower park, the museum of the future and the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. Only, there are clouds of people everywhere
In general, for such a reasonable price, it is quite possible for an unpretentious tourist to go to bask in December

The beach is very close, leaving the hotel you find yourself on the beach. The hotel has its own sun beds, sometimes they are not enough for everyone, it is better to take them early in the morning. There are two small pools, one for toddlers. We were lucky with the room, a regular room was booked, but we were given a suite upon check-in. There are two air conditioners in the room, the room was cleaned and towels were changed every day. The staff speaks Russian, at least part of the staff. The restaurant has a rather limited selection of dishes. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to the local shopping center.

There is probably one plus here - this is the beach. The beach is quite large, not crowded, sand with shells, a comfortable gentle long approach. Nuances: 1. there are two flags (the first time I see this), if there is a little wave, then you can not go into the water - the rescuers whistle and expel everyone. Out of 7 days, it was possible to swim only 2. 2. Towels are given out once a day - therefore, they lie on sun beds most of the day, and there are no people and sometimes there are also free sun beds. 3. 2/3 towels with holes. 4. After sunset, the beach is closed - you can't just sit by the sea and even swim in the pool.
Minuses:
1. Food. You won't starve, but everything is not delicious. Sometimes they even managed to ruin the scrambled eggs for breakfast. Due to the fact that the food is not tasty, everyone eats buns, especially children lean on donuts.
2. The cleaning is so-so, some corners in the room have not been washed once, they may not wash the cups or bring toilet paper, even if you leave it for tea. They say that if you don't leave it, then they don't even bring water.
3. There is no animation at all.
4. The hotel is very tired.

Excellent hotel, clean, beautiful and spacious beach and clean sea. The rooms are nice and spacious. Delicious and varied cuisine, always fresh fruits and vegetables, interesting desserts, in a word, thanks to the chef. It should be noted that the staff is very polite and caring, always ready to help. A spacious swimming pool. The beautiful design of the hotel, there are always free and comfortable sun beds and umbrellas both in the pool and beach area. There is a children's room. We had a rest with the whole family with a small child and were very happy with everything. I recommend the hotel to everyone.

We rested at this hotel from 26.10 to 03.11.2023. A nice hotel, but for a quiet quiet holiday. Music is not included, there is no entertainment. The beach is very nice, clean. Sand. The water is clean and warm. There is a cafe on the beach, for an additional payment you can drink cocktails, order a burger, French fries, soda. The burger is big, two adults can eat in peace. There are sun beds, we always found free ones. If necessary, the staff put more. They put mattresses on deck chairs. Towels are given out. The water in the pool is also warm. The maximum depth is 260 cm . Diving and jumping are not prohibited.
There were four of us. 2 adults and 2 boys 14 and 11 years old. We paid for a large room right away. We were put in room 308. Large, two-room. Two balconies, sea view. The room has a kettle, iron and ironing board. Towels were changed every day. Stocks of coffee and tea were replenished every day. For the bath, soap, shampoo, shower gel, body lotion are laid out. The air conditioner is adjustable, you can turn it off completely.
There are enough outlets in the room, but none of them fits our plugs. Take the adapters. The hotel gives, but he's all killed and sparks. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo. There are three flat elements inserted into the socket.
We only took breakfast. There is no variety, all the time is the same. But they didn't go hungry. If lunch and dinner are not included in the tour, then you can eat at the hotel for a fee. It costs 58 dirhams per person. The four of us ate too much in a restaurant for 100 dirhams. There is also a Fairy Tale cafe, they have a good menu and delivery, ordered directly to the hotel.
Of the hotel's guests, 97℅ were Russian speakers. In general, we are satisfied. We enjoyed the sea, the pool and just relaxing.
I really want to talk to the owner of the hotel to change the concept. It would be cool and not like everyone else.

Good hotel, good service. The sea is nearby, they give out towels, you need to have time to take a chaise longue))) Of the cons: far from all sorts of interesting places and there is some kind of oil plant or something like that nearby, and there are periodically some petroleum products in the sea... During our vacation, this happened several times when tankers sailed there.

The cast does not pull at 4 stars in any way.
Its main advantage is the beach, smooth access to the sea, fine pleasant sand, a 10-minute walk from the hotel there is an aquarium and a port from which ferries run to Dubai (ticket 15 dirhams per person, ~ 30 minutes).
It should be borne in mind that 99% of the hotel's guests are Russian-speaking.
About the cons: the food is quite monotonous, only watermelon is made from fresh fruits, the tablecloths on the tables are dirty and they are not changed, the dishes are chipped, there is no clean drinking water in the dining room, 1 bottle of water 1.5 liters per day is given to the room, if an additive is needed, they offer to walk to the store.
We lived in a bungalow, to the right of the central building, if you look from the road, there is some kind of vegetable garden in this part of the hotel, there is no lawn, it looks so-so. The room is quite tired, the general air conditioning system on the street is making quite a lot of noise, it can be heard in the room. The bathroom had bloated paint and mold on the wall.
The sun beds on the beach are full of tin, at 8 a.m. they are already all occupied, perhaps in the evening, only those who are in the sun remain, there are not enough umbrellas, but in Egypt you can't really lie in the sun. There is no entertainment in the hotel, in the evening, unlike the neighboring hotel, the territory is not illuminated.
I will definitely not go here a second time, the hotel pulls a maximum of 1-2 stars.

The hotel was built in the 70s, in general, makes a four-dimensional impression. The rooms are standard, the air conditioning works perfectly, the shower even during peak hours without interruptions, you can always wash yourself, there is a kettle in the room with cups, tea, coffee, sugar all the time. The rooms are cleaned regularly, the plumbing is in good condition, the staff is responsive. The restaurant-dining room is spacious, the food is high-quality and varied, besides, the delayed tourist will be fed. Nice clean beach and pools, plenty of sun beds, but not enough umbrellas

I rested three times. The food is great. The hotel is not new. I was in houses separate from the main building. You can't live on the 1st floor. Cats are tortured, they climb into the room and scream at night. The hotel is old and tired, that says it all. If you're lucky, where will they put you: maybe in the bus parking lot behind the hotel, maybe in a room where the air conditioner doesn't work, or maybe everything is fine and the view of the sea without cats. There were few sun beds occupied early in the morning. The bottom of the sea is sand. It is very good to keep an eye on the reception. As they think

In general, a good hotel, I liked the beach and the sea, although the sea was not calm for three days, swimming was forbidden. The service and staff rate five. I liked everything, the food is monotonous, but you won't be hungry. One minus that I didn't like, places on the beach are occupied in the evening, in the morning you come there are no places,

There is always a good holiday in the UAE. The hotel is good. 4 it is on 4. I would put 5, but there are nuances that I would not have paid much attention to earlier, but over time I realize that this is already a flaw.there are rooms without renovation. Rather, they have not been repaired for a long time. I haven't seen a bathtub in a hotel bathroom for a long time, usually it's a cabin, a shower compartment. But they immediately gave us another number. Although it is also not the first freshness (I'll giggle a little here). But the beach and the Persian Gulf itself are 5+. During our vacation, there was a small storm (we rode the waves), and calm (washed in the water like frogs). The sun beds are new and comfortable. There are two swimming pools (for adults and for children). Beach men are always ready to help if necessary, control the territory and keep an eye on vacationers. In general, our vacation here was for 5.

We had a rest in early November 2024. Family of 4 people -me, mom and daughters (22 and 12 years old). A ticket for 8 days, we took only breakfast. .We booked 2 rooms with a view of the city, combined with each other. On the day of arrival, it turned out that there were no such rooms. There are rooms through the room, we were not satisfied with that. We agreed on another deluxe room with an additional fee (there are 2 rooms, 2 balconies overlooking the bay). The furniture is good, there is enough of everything. We lived on the 3rd floor, but in fact on the 6th. Daily cleaning, change of towels too. Tea, coffee, cream, water, hygiene products-every day for 4 people. The breakfasts are good and delicious (porridge, cereals, yogurt, 2 types of juices, hot, pastries). The staff is polite. The pool is cleaned 2 times a day. The beach is cleaned daily. There are enough sun beds for everyone. The water in the bay is at a comfortable temperature. Fish swim, turtle, crabs run...There is a shop at the hotel where they sell delicious mango, Dubai coffee, Dubai chocolate and sweets. If you leave the hotel and walk 9 minutes in any direction (right or left), you will come to a grocery store where you can buy everything you need. There are 2 transfers from the hotel to shopping malls. The rest was a success and was enjoyed by all family members of different ages. I highly recommend the hotel.

The main advantages of the hotel are, of course, the proximity of the sea and the beach, there is also a heated swimming pool. We had a vacation in February 2024, the basin was just saving, the sea was quite cool, we practically did not swim.
I would attribute the small territory and food to the disadvantages of the hotel. The territory of the hotel is actually the building itself, the beach and the pool. The food is monotonous, only watermelons are made from fruits. But you won't stay hungry. Unless, of course, you compare this hotel with the Turkish fives and even fours, then in general it will go. I don't want to return to this hotel a second time, well, only if the price is very low).

We arrived from the hotel yesterday... if the Emirates is ambiguous for me, then Carlton Sharjah is definitely my hotel. The hotel and the territory are of medium size. There is a central seven-storey building and along the edges of the bungalows (in the form of townhouses) two and one-storey. We paid extra for the room when we took the ticket. We had a superior on the 7th floor with a sea view… View from the balcony 🔥… The room had everything except a clothes dryer. That's why I adapted the ironing board on the balcony for drying. Before departure, I subscribed to a group of reviews in a Telegram ... https://t.me/uae_hotels_travelask/8201/8202 ... It helped a lot…
A lot of arguments about food... Because the three of us went together - we came to the following conclusion ... If you like to cook and have time, food gets boring, because about the same thing... If you don't like cooking and you don't have time (that's me), then this is "food of the gods)... Vegetables always, 2-3 types of salads, very tasty cottage cheese, hummus.. Always meat (beef), fish (sea white), chicken - in different types… But the meat chef has a separate respect… Side dishes 2-3: unusual long rice, noodles, baked potatoes and I really liked beans ... There are few desserts, but it's a thrill!!! When you fight for every kilogram, the fewer temptations, the better… But I really love puddings, creamy is my top… Only fresh watermelon was given from fruits… Pineapples and peaches were canned… In general, I brought 1.5 kg😂😂😂
The beach is very nice!!! Due to the fact that the Pensionersky hotel is very calm, without parties… Then the sun beds are occupied at 6 a.m.… But we went out at 10 and 16 - we always found a place... It was a disappointment for me: 1. I'm used to swimming and relaxing at dawn, and here at 6.00 am the beach is full of people (and it gets light at 6.15am)
2. There was a low tide storm for 3 days and it is forbidden to swim... Out of 7 days - 3 without the sea... Only to wet the legs…
The staff is Indian-Pakistani... but there are no complaints…
I went on 3 excursions - sightseeing in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Oman ... I liked them all very much.. I took it from Tatiana at the hotel opposite Lavender… She also suggested several hacks…
1.Currently, in the UAE, you can pay in dollars in many places, so do not rush to change all the money… For excursions, in the Steam Train market, in the Dooty Free, in the Dubai Mall you can buy for $$.
2. To the markets (fish, vegetable, central) Marinas, fountains - you can walk... About 1 hour walk ... Transport is spinning a lot because of the development… We took a walk, saw the "decent" part of Sharjah…
Well, the topic of alcohol😂😂😂… In Sharjah, they do not sell alcoholic beverages from the word at all… But if you drink quietly in the room, no one will attract you.… We brought it with us and then bought it in the Dubai Mall.
I decided to write a detailed review, because they write mostly negative ones…

A budget old hotel for unassuming tourists.
Almost all tourists are Russian, with all the consequences..
The old room stock, meals for three,
sun beds are occupied from 5 am (or even around the clock).
It is located far from the center of Sharjah, but there is a free shuttle service to 2 shopping centers.
When we were checked into this hotel, to say that I was disappointed is to say nothing..
We settled on the 2nd floor, in room 210.
2 separate beds, asked for one, offered to move.
The furniture and plumbing are old, there is practically no lighting, the Windows overlook the highway, it is very noisy, the room has an unpleasant smell of some kind of mustiness and dampness.
I am not a picky tourist, I have lived in Turkish 3*, but I have not seen such junk yet..
After several trips to the reception, we were still moved, however, the next day, to room 219 on the same floor.
This room is better (there is a normal 2-bed and does not smell damp), but it is also noisy and the bathroom also needs renovation.
I suppose there are good rooms in the hotel, but they are more expensive.
They were not allowed to change it even for an additional fee.
The food is also three-starved: breakfast is very meager, for me there was only oatmeal porridge, but it is impossible to eat it every day.
At lunch, the situation with the dishes is better, there is something to choose, but also modestly, not by 4 *.
Of the fruits, only watermelon.
Tea and coffee from the Titanic, like in a Soviet children's camp..
As the hotel guide explained to us, the 4 * hotel was given for being on the first line.
Of the advantages, I will note:
Nice beach,
The first coastline
Good sound insulation between the rooms (the neighbors did not hear)
Polite and diligent staff, they really try, the renovation issue is the care of the owner..
I recommend taking a room with a sea view, it should be quieter there.

The price -quality is consistent. Well located: maritime Museum, aquanarium, marina to Dubai within walking distance (I recommend a much faster and cheaper taxi) the service is on the level, the food is fine. The beach, the service, is not bad. The room could have been better, but we only spent the night there. There is a main building (see the photo from the balcony) and a bungalow in an easier way, look for yourself.
I advise my friends.

We had a rest in March. From Dubai airport to Sharjah, 30 minutes without traffic jams. The weather is 27-32 degrees. Nice hotel, old, but everything is clean, the bed and towels are snow-white! The staff is very friendly, helpful, speak Russian! Mostly Russians are vacationing - married couples with children. The food is not varied, but very tasty. The dining room is large, there are no queues. The air conditioners are working at full capacity - you need to put on a sweater. The pool on the territory is excellent - clean, warm 29 degrees. There are plenty of sun beds on the beach and near the pool. Towels are provided. The beach is a fire! A beautiful sloping entrance, clear water, clean, white sand. The beach is wide. You can walk for hours. There is a supermarket near the hotel (to the left). To the right of the hotel there are KFS and McDuck, other cafes. However, they did not work during Ramadan. There is a gift shop and a sweet shop right in the hotel (cheap and tasty)
The hotel also has a gym. There is a free bus service from the hotel to two shopping malls.
We liked everything!

We liked the hotel, the only thing is that we got to stay not in the main building, but in a bungalow. The first impression was not bad, it smelled a little damp, but we checked in at 12 at night and wanted to go to bed and rest as soon as possible. Another disadvantage of this bungalow is that there is always some kind of semi-darkness, due to the fact that there are no windows, and the only source of daylight is darkened glass in the entire wall, where the front door is located. We were also bothered by the noise from the huge hotel air conditioner, which was located next to our bungalow. We didn't clean very often, the staff didn't bother themselves in this sense, they removed the garbage from the bins and, as I understood it, the cleaning was over. Bottled water, coffee, tea bags, sugar and dry.milk was always available. I was also surprised by the schedule of breakfasts and dinners in the restaurant, I had to check in the magazine every time which room we were from and how many people we were. The food, in principle, is not bad, you can choose what you like. Not far from the hotel on the right side, 500 meters away, there is a supermarket where we bought juice and souvenirs home, as well as bought a swimming circle, bought for dollars, money was not changed to their local currency. The beach is excellent on the shores of the Persian Gulf, white sand and a very shallow bottom, you have to walk a little and then you can swim. We were in the middle of October, the water temperature was 24.There is a paid restaurant and a couple of pools on the shore, for children and adults. The restaurant ordered various fresh fruit with ice, which is important in this heat. The daytime temperature is 32-36. We went on a couple of excursions, to Dubai and yachting on the border with Oman, the second tour is mainly for scuba diving enthusiasts, all the beauty, underwater. We went to the city in the evening, after dinner, it was a bit far, but not so hot and it was interesting to look at the shops and local residents. There are shops in the hotel itself, where we bought home chocolates with dates and chocolates, and in the souvenir shop a pair of T-shirts for ourselves and my husband with prints about the UAE for $ 15. We took a free bus from the hotel to SaharaMall, packed into the bus like herrings in a barrel, it arrived already with passengers from another hotel, if I had known in advance that this would happen, I would not have gone...In general, the impression of this hotel and the trip was not bad, but the service wants to be better! In principle, I recommend this hotel, as I say, well, we can't live there, we rested and went home!!!

We had a rest in March. The hotel turned out to be better than expected! The beach is simply gorgeous!!!! Everything is very calm and friendly. A place where you are welcome, starting from the reception, ending with the restaurant. All on a budget. The food in the restaurant is normal, there is a choice between meat, fish, chicken. Side dishes are different - rice, pasta, vegetables. Greens in the form of salads are present, there are delicious olives- olives. There is always tea. Porridge and yogurt help out for breakfast, I don't eat eggs. There is a strain with fruits and desserts, but this is not a problem. There are delicious budget mangoes in the shop at the hotel, and about desserts, so this is only a plus! There is no temptation, so there are no extra pounds. If you are overseas, then this is definitely your hotel. If you like entertainment and gastronomy, look at something else so as not to spoil your vacation with regrets. We travel a lot, and each time we pick up what we want this time. The priority was the sea, it did not let us down!!! Good balconies in the rooms, this is important for me. This is one of the criteria for choosing a hotel. The room itself and its filling are not as important to me as the opportunity to sit in the evening with a view of the sea and the stars. A feature of Carlton, a beautiful view of the planes taking off and landing in Dubai against the background of the evening and night sky. It is interesting to observe how lights appear at intervals of a minute, turning into airplanes. I'll tell you right away, you can't hear the hum! Conclusion for myself - nothing annoyed me, I swam a lot, smiled a lot, I was happy! So the choice was right, if possible, we will return to this hotel (we used to be in Sharjah in 2 others). I will note separately, there is a travel agency across the street, they bought "Night Dubai", they are satisfied!!! In the same place, Tatiana suggested a fish market, visited, bought, ate! On March 8, there was a wonderful seafood table. I want more!

Nice hotel. We were lucky with the room - we were accommodated in a suite instead of a standard one. The room is clean, cleaned well, shampoo, soap, paper, tea, coffee, sheets, everything is new every day.
A new towel is also given to the beach every day, which must be handed over in the evening. The beach is beyond praise - clean, wide, the water is clear, there are places where there are fewer waves in windy weather.
Everything is tailored to Russian tourists, this is important for pensioners, for example.
We took breakfast/dinner - the food was monotonous, but we didn't stay hungry.
The hotel is often crowded, so the room is not extended.
Overall, a positive impression.

The cleanliness of the beach is 5-, the room was in a chalet: small ants in the bathroom, as well as norms.Service: cleaning was done with us for 5 minutes.The bed linen has not been changed in 10 days.The location is good, there are 2 supermarkets nearby, 5 min.walking distance, 15min- large skpermarket, near the aquarium 10 minutes on foot. I'll go again.

I didn't see any advantages.
The sea, the sun, the weather do not apply to the rating of the hotel. This is for five, but about the hotel minus
Now the cons
Service:
In front of their own, they can be said to be straight-backed. But to the tourists, that is, to us, as to the ordinary, the smile on the face is stupid, and so ...
the Russian-speaking staff was only by the pool alone, which made sure that the local population rested and ran around like a servant, carrying sun loungers, towels, juices... Here he was speaking Russian. But the reception, you can say so-so.
The sand by the sea is littered with the fact that the sea has washed up, I'm not talking straight away, but at least such large ones as watermelon, cans, bags could be removed. I'm not talking about the sharks, it's the tourists themselves who are to blame, but although they could have cleaned up.
The towels are leaky, but clean, I mean the ones that are given to the beach.
The room is cleaned, but... They are cleanly so from the "bolts".
The pool is not very clean either.Yes, if you come up and say that you are dirty, then they will come up and clean up a little bit for the sake of appearance.
The food is monotonous. And according to the omission, what is not finished for breakfast is made of it for lunch. What they didn't finish at lunch, they make dinner. I'm not saying what's left in the plates, I'm talking about the Swiss table. For example: cucumbers and tomatoes are freshly chopped for breakfast. If they are left, then they are made into snakes with mayonnaise in a bowl with chicken, which was for breakfast. And so on.

The hotel left a pleasant impression. A good four. A calm, measured rest without animation. The menu is without frills, but everything is always edible and fresh. The view from the room is directly on the sea, the first line.
Sandy beach, gentle entrance to the sea. Sometimes it's stormy, but you can swim.

The food is delicious and varied. The rooms are not the cleanest, but it will do. The beach is good, sun beds, towels, umbrellas. There is a large swimming pool. Towels are cleaned and changed every day. The staff is polite, sometimes Russian-speaking. It is located on the outskirts, by the sea. A taxi to Dubai is 80 dirhams. There is a free shuttle service to three malls in Sharjah. We were satisfied.
