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.
I was vacationing at this hotel. It does not match its stars, the rooms are large, the furniture is slightly damaged, the food in the restaurant is imported, nothing is cooked except instant coffee. The sea is too far, to walk across the road to run (maybe not lucky) there are no traffic rules in the UAE. There is a construction site, a garbage dump, a construction site all around. But the sea is clean and warm.

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.
A good hotel, courteous staff, good food, although monotonous. But the rooms already require cosmetics. The sea is nearby. It should be understood that we cross three roads to the beach without a pedestrian crossing. I do not recommend this with children.
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.
We arrived late in the evening, we were hungry, dinner was brought to our room, it was very tasty. As for the room itself, it is spacious, but needs repair, cleaning is daily, water is also brought daily. As for food, it is meager and not always delicious, the same thing every day, I ate the same thing, but for breakfast, in fact, I remained hungry, there was practically nothing, there were some incomprehensible sausages. The beach is within walking distance, which is all crowded, without amenities . We went to paid beaches. There is a hotel not so far from Dubai itself, but taxi drivers have always confused there are other hotels with the same name, although they always showed a business card. I had to use my navigator . Near the hotel itself there is a pharmacy, grocery stores and just a cafe, which is also convenient, and you can also walk in the parks if you like hiking, like me, the only plus in all this is the price. The staff is nice, friendly .
We rested at this hotel from 22 04 23 to 2 05. The hotel is located by the automobile road, it is constantly very noisy. Drinking water is provided every day, bathroom accessories are also replenished.The internet in the room is good.
The beach is not far from the hotel, but it is necessary to cross three roads that do not have a pedestrian crossing. The sea (Persian Gulf) is great especially with children.The food is so-so and almost always a little warm or cold, these are the second courses. The staff is unfriendly but if there are problems fix it. The room needs renovation, especially the bathroom, I'm writing about my room.
Emirates Airlines, the best airline in the world, flew!
The city hotel is right by the road.the noise is round the clock. The rooms are a clean scoop. The kitchen is monotonous, but everything is edible enough. It takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach through two roads with active traffic without organized crossings.
Nice,friendly staff, cleaned every day, changed towels,the food is delicious, the beach is close, we took a jeep safari to the tour agency Parus, we liked everything
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.
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!
The room was big.
The bathroom is just awful, it's time to change everything in it. It's leaking from the ceiling.
The menu is monotonous so-so. Watermelons melons oranges have never been.
Even with cupcakes for tea and that's a problem
There are 2 pools on the roof, small and large. There was a dumpster of several tanks under the window.
Several times some gastrobiters gathered under the window, 20-25 people were resting, cooking their own food, they seemed to like the shadow side.
And in general, a good hotel will go to spend the night.
And there is parking at the bottom you do not need to pay for it
I left coins on the bed for the room cleaners, but they didn't take them.
To be honest, I really liked it, especially the ratio of the price and what we got.
1. This is a very positive attitude of the staff, we arrived at the hotel at 7 am and were immediately checked in, always polite, ready to help.
2. Location, the beach is a couple of minutes on foot. The largest, cleanest, city beach, admission is free for hotel guests.
3. The food is not a big variety, but very tasty.
4. The rooms are large, spacious, BUT old, this is the only disadvantage of the hotel.
5. What else I will note for free every day there is a transfer to Dubai, to the Caricature center and to the shopping center.
We were at the hotel from 21.12.22 to 27.12.22. We were with a child, the rooms are really huge. The bed is huge. Among the advantages are the size of the room, free transfer to the Dubai metro, free transfer to the center of Sharjah and the proximity of the sea, towels to the beach.The rooms are cleaned every day (if you let them in), a bottle of water every day, and you can take it with you in the dining room. Lunch and breakfast are extremely modest, 1 time There were bananas for lunch and 3 times watermelon. Sweet 1 time. The juice is our upi chemical. In general, there is something to get by, but not a tasty meal. Although when I was driving, I read reviews and understood, but not so much. Everything is for an amateur, very greasy and spicy. I could only eat leaves and fish in batter
The food is edible. The rooms are very old, damp and cold. The bed is huge. It is close to the sea - 5 minutes at a leisurely pace. The beach is made of fine sand. The service is fine.
The worst hotel, I didn't like the service, there is no food in the restaurant, no coffee, no bread, no cakes. Dried rolls and instant coffee, only the sea pleased. I do not recommend this hotel. The owners need to urgently review the menu. And the staff needs to be changed, they don't smile, they don't say hello, the first time in such a hotel is not friendly.
We visited this hotel 10 years ago, it was wonderful. The key word is "was". Today, when checking in, my child and I were given a room that does not even pull 2* in terms of level. After contacting the reception, I was shown several more rooms that were one worse than the other - fungus on the ceiling, dirty walls, peeling, dead dirty tiles, shower curtain with biological stains, carpets and chairs with indelible stains (all in the photo). We checked into a vip room, which was "better" (loudly said) than others (in the last photos, with a chic shower cabin with a hole in the bottom). The representative of the tour operator refused to help with the issue of replacing the room, said that :
- "I am not a representative of Coral" (?! in this case, what did the booklet issued by the tour operator at the meeting at the airport mean about the mandatory meeting with a representative of Coral?) despite the fact that she had a Coral badge hanging on her;
- I should have read the reviews where I'm going.
At the reception, I showed photos of rooms from the Internet, which are positioned as current photos of the hotel, but I was directly told that there are no such rooms for a long time. (If a representative of the hotel or tour operator denies this, write to me in a review, I will send a video).
The next morning, a cockroach was waiting for us on the sink.
I do not recommend it to anyone! Or look at the photos of the rooms and come to this "Arab fairy tale" consciously.
The Internet is just disgusting, the rooms are cheap, I understand that this is not Dubai, you come here to sleep and swim, but after Turkey, I would give it a maximum of 3 stars.The food is sooo monotonous (The only plus is the proximity to the sea)
Gorgeous. Of course, we did not live in the "Sail", but it was visible from the window of our hotel.

We went to the Emirates together in April 2023 .
A good inexpensive hotel. To the sea 10 minutes on foot, but the sea is shallow. The beach is free with a voucher from the hotel. There are guards and lifeguards on the beach, they monitor the safety.
When checking in, they could not open the room, returned to the reception to change the key, and we were changed to another room: a larger one with a larger window. The customer orientation is wonderful.
But the rooms with a large window overlook the road, from which there is a lot of noise, this is a minus. There were also cockroaches in the room, they didn't really interfere.
Cleaning every day. They give half a liter of water per person for free and you can top it up in the dining room. That is, they didn't even buy more water.
Russian Russian is understood by half of the staff, the other half knows a couple of words in broken Russian, it is not difficult to communicate.
The food is delicious, there is plenty to choose from, but sometimes it repeats. We had breakfast, lunch, dinner. It's the same for breakfast and the coffee is tasteless, but the scrambled eggs are delicious.
There is a swimming pool and sauna on the roof of the hotel. Very convenient. And the view of the city is wonderful.
There are also free buses from the hotel to the shopping centers of Sharjah and Dubai. From there you can just go for a walk. Buses are also being taken back.
In general, if you go to the Emirates for the first time for a week, then the hotel will do well, but I would not go to this hotel for the second time.
Definitely do not recommend the hotel! And I will never go there again.
Firstly, the windows of all rooms overlook the highway, there are no windows, they do not isolate noise from cars at all! It's a real torment, especially at night. And the mosque on the contrary, from 5 in the morning, mournful singing from the microphone is provided. In standard rooms, the windows are small, the rooms are dark. The VIP rooms have bigger windows, but the noise from the road is the same, the cars were specifically taken out. And condees crack like tractors, had to be turned off at night.
Secondly, in standard rooms there is an unpleasant smell, dampness, some kind of chemistry. We had a row, they changed us to Vip, but it more or less turned out that way.
Thirdly, there are cockroaches in the rooms, both in standards and in VIPs!!
Fourth, the food in the restaurant is more or less, but meager and monotonous. Sometimes there wasn't even enough butter for breakfast. I had to buy butter and sausage at the supermarket and go with my own for breakfast.
Fifth, weddings often take place in this hotel. We got to three weddings in a row. Until one o'clock in the morning, music, rumbling, drums, it is impossible to sleep, there is no sound insulation! It's the first time I've seen guests in a hotel unable to rest because the wedding is on their ears.
We had a rest in December before the new year. Well, no higher than 3. Very old, very dark, worn for years without repair. The stick on which the bathroom curtain hung was dangling on some kind of fishing line. The water was leaking and there was a puddle on the floor all the time. Food for an amateur, on the 6th day I was sick of fish in batter, but the meat was terrible. For my taste. Towels that go to the beach, that to the room with holes. The pool is cold at the top and it's a clean smoking room😄the windows to the room are small, everything is covered in sand. The staff is responsive, they gave everything they asked for right away. 2 bottles of water were given every day, which is very convenient and you could also pour water into them with you at the bottom
The beach is 5 minutes away. The aquarium is 7-10 minutes away. In general, the hotel is for the not picky
The rooms are very nice.... Large.... 1 star food!!!! They don't give you anything!!!! There is no oil! Cheese !No!!!! Moreover, there are no fruits!!!! It's just awful!!!! Instant coffee!!!! And it's 4 stars!!!! A nightmare!!!!!
Rested from 29.12.22-10.01.23 The hotel is just awful. Very old appearance does not match the exposed photos . The ceilings are dirty , the chandeliers are dirty , the air conditioner smells burnt after half an hour of work . There are cockroaches in the rooms . In the hotel itself , there is a constant smell of cigarette smoke . The attitude is bad . The food for all the days has never changed. It 's not 4 . I would give 1 star at all . Water is given one bottle per day . In the dining room , they look into their mouths , they clarify whether we have typed a lot . Photos can be thrown without of course . I was at 3 . But this one surpassed everyone in general. The hotel has no territory . The sea is a 7-10 minute walk , three roads away . There is nowhere to eat normally in the district, only fast food. There is a fishmarket within a 40-minute walk. Choose to eat , clean , wash , cook there . Very tasty. Also, on certain days, the bus goes free to the shopping center. The beach is urban , there are no umbrellas , sun loungers . Only you need to buy. The sea is clear . The beach is clean . The entrance is fine white sand .

An average hotel. Old, but clean. There is a sauna, but it is small and not hot. There is a gym with old exercise equipment. The food is meager, every day a monotonous simple meal. They don't give you fruit. It's strange how they keep 4 stars. It's not worth more than 3x. There is one plus, 200-300 meters from the sea
+large room,not far from the beach, daily cleaning, replacement of towels and other accessories
-In the bathroom, water accumulates on the floor, monotony in food

The hotel is not bad, but the room stock needs to be repaired. The location is not bad, but right by the road and if you are a light sleeper, it is better to take earplugs. The food is monotonous, especially breakfast, but you will not stay hungry. The beach is nearby in a 6-minute walk, but there are no crossings, keep in mind, be careful across the roads.
Nearby is Makdak beach and another beach without people is not far away

I had a rest with my family from 11/19.23 to 12/22.23 Very mediocre. The food is monotonous and cheap. Fried, fatty, spicy. It is difficult to choose something for a child. They are constantly running out of something and are in no hurry to bring it. Plates, cups, and cutlery ran out several times, and they were gone for 30 minutes. People drove up and there were not enough tables for breakfast. The room was a two-room 307 Vip, very tired, a problem with draining water from the sink and shower. The rest is normal, for the unassuming.
