The hotel is close to the border of Sharjah and Dubai. A good comfortable mattress, clean bed linen, nice fabric. I got a room on the 8th floor with a view of the mosque. The air conditioner works perfectly, it cools down, which makes it cold. Stable room cleaning, but a set of shampoo and gel give one)) and two bath towels (it seems that in this category they give three for each guest, but that's okay)
The hotel itself is very old, does not pull in 4 Stars, and requires major repairs. Plumbing was leaking in the room, towels were already stained, which could not be washed and threads, it was time to change … The Internet works every other time, I caught it well only on the first day of arrival. As already written, it's a little dark, the windows are dirty.
Breakfast is normal, not to say that it's bad, but it's not super either
Fried and boiled eggs, canned beans,
vegetable pasta or something like that,
Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Feta
cheese sausage
Porridge
Bread
Jam
Packaged tea and instant coffee
From fruits
Watermelon
There are better hotels in the same price category
A rooftop pool, towels are provided, the gym accommodates several back muscle simulators, an ellipse treadmill, dumbbells up to 6 kg.
The condition, if you look closely, also requires repair
The staff at the hotel is friendly
Cleaning is regular, they even ask themselves if it is necessary to clean if you are in the room
There are washing machines for the use of guests
In general, the feeling from all of Sharjah is that it has been forgotten and given to visitors from neighboring countries for use. There is nothing much to see, residential areas with migrants living, a lot of garbage on the street. In the emirates for the second time, and I conclude it is better to pay extra, but to live in Dubai, you will still have to take either a taxi or a bus to Dubai for a walk, but if you take on excursions, then it is cheaper to live in Sharjah, but there are hotels with the best offers
There is a supermarket nearby, and a small grocery store in the hotel building, about 1.2 km away there is a MacDonald's and kfc 800 meters from the hotel, there is also a Pizza Hut.
They didn't go to the local "restaurants"

We rested the first week of December 2023. We chose this hotel because there was information about it with good departures, morning arrivals and evening departures. The hotel itself is more like 3 stars, not 4.
The hotel is located far from the center, near the border with Dubai, it took about 20 minutes to drive from the airport, so the first ones were brought, the last ones were taken away.
We arrived at 9 a.m., the room was free at 10 a.m. we were already checked in, on the last day we were allowed to vacate at 2 p.m.
The breakfasts are modest, but we had enough. There are no desserts, tea and coffee are only in bags. I read a review where they wrote that there is absolutely nothing to eat, it's not like that, it's not Turkey, but we've never been hungry. Dinner seemed to be only with us, it was brought to the room: salad, hot, 0.5 bottle of water (and 0.5 were brought to the room every day in the afternoon), there were only melon and watermelon from fruits, they ate too much, did not even finish (photos of breakfast and dinner). It was possible to change it for lunch, a couple of times when we went on an excursion in the afternoon and did so. The only inconvenient thing was that at a certain time: lunch at 13h, dinner at 18.30-19, and not the interval of 1.5-2 hours, apparently due to the fact that only we ate, we had to be at the hotel at that time.
As in other hotels, a bus takes you to the beach at 9 o'clock there, at 12.30 back, AlhabIch beach with white sand, umbrellas and sun beds are paid. They give a towel to the beach at the hotel, we took a taxi several times (15-18 drx)., walk for about an hour (if someone wishes, you have to go the way the bus goes, because there is a Dubai-Sharjah road near the hotel, which cannot be crossed).
I caught Wi-Fi well, the room was clean, the furniture was old, but most importantly the bed and mattress were comfortable. The fact that you can hear the mosque in the morning, so there are a lot of them there, probably you can hear them in other hotels. The staff is helpful. Only the guy who gives towels to the beach understood Russian, he is usually in the gym near the pool.
We went to the center by taxi, it was a long walk. The singing fountains and the fish market made an impression. At the market, you can clean and cook what you buy.
There are two small markets near the hotel, two large ones are 15-20 minutes on foot, near the Sahara shopping center, the border with Dubai. Some hotels take you to Dubai and shopping malls, there is no such service here. To go to Dubai, you need to get to the bus station to buy a bus card or cross the border to Dubai and take a taxi to the metro.
We would not have gone to this hotel a second time because of the location, somehow on the outskirts, but we had a good rest, everything was fine.

If you are for a budget vacation, then you will really like this hotel!!) Beautiful view from the pool on the top floor. We were at the end of November, I really liked it.
But we came, in fact, only to sleep. We spent all the time on excursions!!)
Of the cons, the location! It is very far to the beach and not a convenient transfer..
It is not convenient to cross the road at all, there is a highway nearby... It is necessary to cross the road a lot of places, it is very dangerous (
You can walk to the Sharjah embankment in about 40 minutes, it is very beautiful there. I advise you!
We took breakfast, the kitchen is quite normal, you can have a good breakfast.
Another advantage is that there is a large supermarket nearby, where you can find a lot of things, including food. BUT the only thing from the ready-made food, almost everything is VERY spicy there!!
