I would like to write at least something good about the hotel, so from a good 200 meters to the beach , room cleaning every day, delicious breakfast , clean linen and so far that's all, alas. Rooms without balconies, carpet used to know better times , but now it's one big stain, mold in the bathroom , dirty curtains , dirty upholstered furniture. Next to the Aquarium hotel, there is a pier from which you can go to the metro station. The main thing you need to know is that there are no pedestrians, sidewalks are not everywhere, traffic lights are worth their weight in gold, and so a great beach is nearby and if with children, then this will cover all other shortcomings, but you need to be very careful across the street.
We visited this hotel in 2023. In general, the hotel is normal, without frills, the food is normal, you will not be hungry, but the same type. The city beach is not far away, an average step of 5 minutes, which is very convenient, you do not need to wait for a transfer. They take you from the hotel to the shopping center for free. The furniture in the rooms is old, the floors are torn, the cleaning is 3+. The hotel has a Russian-speaking representative of the tour operator Tatiana, a wonderful woman, who will tell you any information. They are settled strictly on time from 14.00, before in no way, as they did not persuade. Almost all tourists who arrived early in the morning, so as not to waste time, change clothes in the toilet and go to the sea.
A budget option. The entrance to the beach of the Carlton Hotel is 30 dirhams. Alikhan beach is nearby. The hotel has a hammam and a steam room, a gym. Three nights -18t. p. without power. Nearby there are shops, shawarma.
The only advantage of this hotel is its convenient location relative to the city beach. It seems to me that this is the only reason there are tourists here. Usually, my husband and I do not pay attention to all sorts of little things (as we wrote below, I fully agree with the author). but! Dear Russian tourists, be prepared for the fact that throughout the rest, breakfast, lunch, dinner will be the same! If you are not picky and can eat sausages every day, then I think this is not a problem. While tourists are eating falcons in the form of waiters and the manager are watching everyone very much, it feels like they are just calculating who ate how much. For lunch and dinner, liquids are only paid (even for soup), although these items are included in the price of the stay. The rooms are not to say that they are perfectly clean, the hotel is already noticeably shabby. There is a heated swimming pool-it is also normal and saves the situation a little. We read the reviews and basically understood where we were going, but we thought that the reviews were a little exaggerated. But no. There is a shop nearby, near the ferry beach
We had a rest with a child at the hotel. A good hotel responds to its four the only thing that needs to go to the beach is across the street to the beach at another hotel located opposite the Carlton.
An average 3+ hotel, only the proximity to the city beach pleases. Breakfasts are monotonous, quickly tired, cleaned for three, well, you can wait 7-8 days
We stayed at this hotel in early April. The reviews are the best. Excellent staff, daily room cleaning, tea, coffee, water bottles. Delicious breakfasts and lunches. The beach is close, the sand on the beach is always clean. We bought interesting excursions from Tatiana, a table with her travel agency next to the restaurant. We highly recommend this hotel.
A simple hotel, but it has all the amenities. You should not expect a huge buffet, 2 types of side dishes and 2 types of meat, in general we had enough. -1 star due to the small area of the hotel
A normal hotel. Well, maybe not 4 stars, of course, but 3 and a half for sure. The beach is 5 minutes away. 30 minutes walk to the lagoon where all the skyscrapers are. Cheap shops and cafes. For 1000-1500 rubles. we tried different cuisines of the world for two.
The hotel is located near the beach, breakfast : a variety of food, compared to other hotels, the number of dishes is enough. A small pool is also good to wallow sometimes. There is a sauna, but here, just a huge minus for the fact that ladies can take a sauna only in the first shift, after lunch only men's time, it is necessary to alternate the time according to the schedule. Towels are changed daily, I did not notice the cleaning time in the room, but the room does not shine with cleanliness, there is dust on the shelves. The staff is polite, but they don't really understand Russian. In the hotel opposite, you can buy the cheapest date candies in the city. I really liked the tea in the red package. There is a free bus to the shopping center
Great hotel. Solid 4*. Good location, close to the beach, shops, restaurants. The breakfasts are not bad, monotonous, but there is a choice, you will not stay hungry. The staff is not very efficient. During my stay, I had to remind you about the compliment on my birthday 5 times!
the location is not particularly convenient. the beach is not so far away, but not close either. the food is absolutely not tasty and absolutely not varied. after 3 days, it already begins to turn from the monotony. only the juice is delicious from the whole menu. The rooms look too old, there is a lot of space, and apparently there is nothing to fill. there is a nice pool in the hotel itself. cleanliness is at the highest level. service and staff without complaints.
A very old hotel. Solid, a three, but not a four. The windows open, but you have to ask for it at the reception. They are opened, and then they do not close.
Of the global disadvantages - very poor, not tasty, monotonous food - as a result, we went to local cafes.
There is nowhere to dry towels, swimsuits at all - there is a laundry service in the hotel, and there is nothing in the rooms and it is sooooo damp due to global air conditioning and closed windows in the rooms. Balconies are missing as a class. Swimsuits do not dry out in the room overnight.
Russians Russian is not spoken on Recipe, although 90% of Russian tourists.
A 4*2 paddling pool for children in the backyard, on the way to the "gym". The pool closes at 7 p.m. with a key,
The gym is also a room in one small room with five exercise machines and scheduled visits - women in the morning, men in the afternoon. My husband and I could not visit it together - it is forbidden. Also, it closes at seven o'clock in the evening - because the entrance is through the pool door.
There is no territory of its own in the hotel at all, in the evening people sat on the steps of the hotel if they did not want to walk around the city.
And the most important thing for us turned out to be the luggage scales - they lie! They showed 20 kg of luggage, it turned out to be 26 kg at the airport! With a maximum of 22kg in our tariff, we have an advantage.
They are paid and lie sooo significantly!
We definitely won't come a second time.
There are other hotels nearby that are similar in price, but of much higher quality.
I often visit the Emirates. I have been to the hotel opposite Sharjah Carlton many times. LAVENDER's on line two. Interesting design, romantic, corresponds to the name. At first they gave room 131, the view from the window into the stone bag, it was dark. Then they changed it to 218. Everything is fine, furniture, cleaning. From the window, you can see the Carlton and the Ferris wheel from the side.
The breakfasts are regular, continental. The sea is great.We went to the Al Khan public beach.
They were from November 14 to 22, 2023
The first time I took it only on BB, but there are a lot of small stones around and there is a large one behind the Aquarium. Everything is fine, we will return again in 2024
We would like to express our gratitude to this hotel for the service. We took breakfasts, lunches and dinners - I really liked it. Everything is delicious. The room is clean. We would like to express our special gratitude to Tatyana Solovyova. She advised us correctly and competently on all issues .
I highly recommend this hotel. Excellent location (although it is better to take rooms with windows not on the road, in any case, cars are almost inaudible. The main thing is the sea and the public beach of Al Khan in 7-10 minutes (real! not Moscow ones), mostly tourists will be taken there not by transfer from other hotels, you will be lucky at any time, both in the morning and in the afternoon, whenever you wish. Also an excellent lunch and dinner for 50 dirhams (for 2023), very satisfying and well-cooked food (not greasy!). Excellent staff and manager, very friendly, they treat each client with respect and good-naturedly, pay attention. Also, in this hotel there is an opportunity to go to the beach of the Carlton hotel across the street (for 30 dirhams), in fact you are in two hotels, in Carlton there is a large swimming pool with sea views, sun beds, as well as an excellent private beach, there is a shower and baths with water where you can immediately after leaving the wash off the sand from the feet of the beach to the pool, in general, unlike most sandy beaches here you will not be constantly in the sand. Near Lavender there are shops and supermarkets, a 15-minute walk from the exchanger. I rented a car and I can't tell you the routes of public transport and accessibility, but if you take a car it will be the best place in the emirates, it is very convenient to drive both to the desert, to Fujairah and to Dubai.
A budget small hotel, a swimming pool on the territory, 10 minutes walk to the sea, there is a wild beach nearby (without lifeguards), this is convenient because when the waves are on the beach at the hotel, they are not allowed into the sea. They gave out beach towels. The linen was changed often, the breakfasts were quite varied (porridge, cones, sausages, eggs, some fruits), they did not stay hungry.
The hotel is normal, the main thing is that the sea is nearby, the staff is good, rooms are cleaned daily. I would like to say a special thank you to Tatiana, who offers excursions. He will tell you everything, tell you, mark on the map where to go and where to buy what. There was no adapter at the reception, they sent us to the market to buy it, she helped us out and let us use it until they left. And an excursion to Dubai, with a guide Ekaterina, is an unforgettable one, which was bought from Tatiana. Thank you for everything.
A great hotel, it's a pity that the second line from the sea, but we didn't bother much. The food is good, there is a swimming pool and a small playground, the rooms are off-set, clean and cozy
A good place for a reasonable price. The beach is 300 meters away. Swimming pool. Gym. It's a decent room, and it's hard to keep silent. The staff are just great.
We stayed at this hotel for 9 days. The second day was slightly spoiled by the weather. There was a hurricane of rain, but it did not affect our mood at all. For four stars, the hotel is wonderful. The staff was very pleasant, many speak Russian and even very well, especially at the entrance to the restaurant. They were greeted with a smile and respect. Of course, the hotel is a little tired, it needs renovation. The room was cleaned every day. Hygiene products were in abundance, as well as tea, coffee, sugar and cream were replenished every day. Drinking water was replenished daily. The beach is gorgeous urban, paid (for hotel vacationers for free), 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel guide Tatiana, who speaks Russian, was greeted warmly, with a smile. You could get any advice from her and arrange tours, which we did. Thank you all for a great stay!!!
Pros - proximity to Al Khan beach, spacious rooms, everything is in working condition. There is always hot water. Breakfasts are extremely meager for 4 stars, but you will not stay hungry. In ogkrug there are small restaurants, minimarkets. The staff is mostly friendly. Near the Sharjah Aquarium and the Maritime Museum, there is also a station from where you can get to Dubai by catamaran. Al Khan Beach is excellent, the purest snow-white sand. Entrance by hotel voucher. The beach is 5 minutes away. Umbrellas 30 dirs. sun beds for 15. There is a transfer to the Sahara Mall. The hotel provides towels for the beach. Cons: the rooms are old, there is mold on the tile in the shower, the rooms are not cleaned at all, the bed is not changed, the towels are gray and torn, but we did not swear, we just asked to change. If you are not particularly picky, then you can safely choose this hotel. In principle, I recommend it.
A good hotel for your money. The rooms require renovation, but they are quite comfortable to live in. The food is delicious, although it will not seem very diverse to someone. The beach nearby is free. If someone wants a more private beach holiday, you can go to the private beach of a nearby hotel for 20 dirhams. Of course, you should not expect the same 4 as in Turkey. Compared to Turkey, the hotel is more like 3 stars. In general, I recommend the hotel to those who like a democratic holiday.
I had a rest in October 2023, the rooms for 4 * do not pull, the furniture and repairs are too old, the tiles in the bathroom are also not particularly fresh, but everything works, the staff is helpful, I would put 4, but I put 5 for the fact that when I lost the key to the room on the beach, no fines, no reproaches, offered immediately second, when checking in, no fees, no deposits, when evicting, too, no quibbles. Near the beach, there were breakfasts, boiled eggs, sausages, toast, butter, 2 types of cheese, sausage, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, olives, potatoes; alternated pasta, beans, watermelon / melon, jams, simple pastries, in general, I didn't get tired of anything for a week and there were no problems with digestion).
For a C grade as an economy option is fine. If you close your eyes to the fact that the bathroom is in great need of repair. There is mold and tile fear in the shower. Towels were changed every day (grayish and with holes came across) beach towels for free. The beach is 5-7 minutes on foot and this is a plus, for such money walking to the beach is really a plus, the breakfasts are monotonous, but we were always full. Ferry 12 min walk to Dubai 15 dirhams. The main NEGATIVE from the hotel is Madame Tatiana, who sits at the entrance to the restaurant and sniffs tours, intercepting new tourists before the guide. Very nice-looking and friendly - tours are more expensive! And we didn't go on Safari! We sat in the lobby like idiots for 40 minutes (departure for Safari was supposed to be at 15 and Tatiana works until 15 o'clock and of course she was no longer there) the car did not come for us, the day was ruined, she did not respond to whatsapp. As a result, it turned out that their car broke down!!! But we found out at 15.40! (I received an answer on whatsapp) She proposed another day. But we had other plans and excursions. She asked for a refund. Tatiana's true face can be seen when she returns the bills) a very arrogant, irresponsible and unpleasant woman.
In general, although the hotel is old, but the staff is trying. I read reviews about cockroaches- but we didn't have any! Not in the room! Definitely not anywhere. On the plus side, the mattresses are new and very comfortable, a kettle in the room, tea, sugar, shower gel and two rolls of water of 0.5 were reported every day. Have a good rest!
Good afternoon, everyone! I am currently staying at this hotel. I definitely wouldn't have gone a second time. It is clear that reconstruction is required, but no one is going to invest money. I personally didn't like the food. Everything is the same type . Meat for dinner from an old cow, apparently. In general, I couldn't stand it and told the chef everything. Everyone was offended at me because she said he was lazy and they were losing people with such food. I was just vacationing in Dubai in 2023 and there is something to compare it with. I would not recommend the hotel!!! It's good to walk at least 5 minutes to the sea. There are no sunbeds, only a towel. Yes, if you decide to go to this hotel, then take a toothpaste and a toothbrush😜
I would like to note and say a big thank you to the representatives of the local travel agency Tatiana and the guide Ekaterina. (Desert Emperor Agency). Tatiana's workplace is located next to the reception. Competently and professionally organized excursions for real money. Everything is clear, on time, friendly. Thank you. We recommend it .
Excellent hotel, 500 meters to the sea, there is Parking, inside the hotel there is a swimming pool, sauna, gym, beach towel is issued, inside the room there are two beds, a table, a table with armchairs, a shower room or a bathtub, a telephone even in the shower, TV, Internet in the room, safe, refrigerator, tea , coffee, sugar, water. Lobby bar, laundry, Harbor restaurant, 24 supermarket and cafeteria within walking distance from the hotel
I want to warn you right away not to take tours from a guide named Ibrahim! We took a survey of Dubai from him, the deception is complete!!! We never saw the Palm Jumeirah, the Golden Arch, the Museum of the Future, but we were taken to an oil store and to the Dubai Mall, that's the whole of Dubai. On the account of the hotel, definitely not 4 stars. The rooms are not very clean, but everything is fixed immediately upon request, we really liked the food, it was varied and delicious, and everything was fish and meat. Those who did not like the food at the hotel are probably used to eating Rolls and burgers, so adequate, healthy food is not tasty for them.
The beach is very clean, the water is clear. If you are not of royal blood, then the hotel is not even bad.
A good price + quality hotel, very tasty food, you can change dinners for lunches. There is a free beach nearby, and you can take a boat to Dubai near the aquarium.
We arrived at 5 a.m., first they settled us in a smoky room, we refused and asked to be replaced, we were ignored at the reception until 14:00, starting from 13, everyone who arrived at the hotel in the afternoon was given rooms, the service does not even correspond to 1 star.
Immediately upon entering, I was upset that I had to lift my suitcase up the stairs myself, there was no employee who helps carry suitcases. The facade is very dirty. The windows are streaked with dust. The hotel is small, the food is standard. The dining room is the cleanest place in the hotel. The carpets both in the corridors and in the rooms are in terrible condition: dirty. It's high time to either change it or completely remove it so as not to breed fungus. The room could have been pretty if it hadn't been for the dirty carpet again, the gray tulle with age spots and the curtains with the same spots. In short, they don't seem to wash textiles. There are friendly staff at the reception, but an Asian girl tried to cheat a couple of times when paying with cash. She has the minimum dollar exchange rate and she tried to take 5 dirhams for dinner more than it was worth. A woman who sells guided tours near the reception tried to do the same. Be careful. Another disadvantage is that the staff does not speak Russian. Learn English or download a translator for yourself. The hotel is one of the closest to the city beach. There are shops in front of the hotel. One of them has the cheapest sweets made of dates and mangoes. It is convenient to get to Dubai from the hotel by sea boat. The marina is nearby, just behind the beach. There is a transfer along Sharjah to the shops. I took a bus transfer from a nearby hotel to Dubai. There are enough beaches in the city, so if I go again, it will definitely be to another hotel.
The bay is close. Good food. Normal rooms are cleaned every day. The beach is 5 minutes pretty clean, though a little shallow. The water is clear. Russians have a lot of rest, there is no strain with communication.
Good luck to everyone! Of course, the room stock needs to be updated and laundered, but I can't say that it is very dirty or something else.
The usual rooms are standard, but somehow dusty and unkempt. Double room, this is the hallway at the entrance, there is a built-in wardrobe. There is a safe inside the cabinet.
Next to the refrigerator, shelves, where the kettle, cups.
The room is about 16 meters.
Beds, bedside tables, TV, table, 2 armchairs, quite normal.
I'll start with the pros.
The main advantage is that the accommodation is on a budget and it takes 7 minutes to walk to the sea.
The second plus is that they check in as soon as you arrive.
In the room:the bar replenished daily is water, 0.5 per person, tea, coffee, sugar, cream.
Electric kettle, refrigerator, two cups. If you need Plates, spoons, take plastic with you or you can ask for disposable ones at the restaurant (free of charge).
Towels are changed on request, shampoo, gel, soap are replenished
The road to the beach is through a busy road, there is no crossing, the child cannot be released((. They ran across.
The beach is good, the entrance is gentle, the sea is clean and warm, but there are no sun beds and umbrellas, there is a fee. Take an umbrella with you. I took it and did not regret it.
There are rocks on the beach, they are at the end of the beach, there are a lot of cats, but also a sea of rats, do not climb there to get a photo, it is clearly unsafe.
Cats sleep with rats, there is nothing to do to get a mouse mouse.
I'll go back to the hotel.
The pool is small and the view is a wall.
Breakfast:in general, they are boring, there are no fruits, watermelon and melon, not ice.
But you won't be hungry for sure.
Oatmeal porridge, scrambled eggs, fruits, vegetables, cheese can be eaten, it just gets boring, but they practically do not change.
You can't take anything with you, the cameras are watching and asking you to leave your bags, as for me, there is no fruit to take for a snack. A couple of buns, cupcakes for tea.
Tea and coffee are not delicious, but they drank).
In general, the staff is friendly. The place is convenient, far from the center, but the sea is 5 minutes away.
There is a transfer to 2 stores, we went a couple of times. There's a supermarket there.
The aunt offers excursions downstairs). The prices are all the same.
Have a good rest!
It is clean, beautiful, the staff speaks Russian. They clean every day, and there are tea accessories in the room. The only negative is that the pool is not working. There is a gym and a sauna.
The hotel is amazing , the view from the room to the ocean is quiet in the morning , I woke up early and just heard the sound of waves , the rooms have everything , a set of towels, all hygiene products except a toothbrush , slippers , a bathrobe , a dressing room, a safe , a chic bed and a huge mirror , a tea set and delicious cookies , a hotel for a paradise holiday, the territory is clean , well-groomed , I love such hotels, and of course the perfect breakfasts
A chain hotel with a history. The staff is well-trained, holds on to the place. Therefore, there are no problems of conflicts, all issues are resolved on the spot. Cleaning daily, fresh towels every day, change of sheets on demand, want daily. Buffet, there are few names, but everything is fresh and edible. The fruits were melons and watermelons. Good. Wi-Fi works great in the room. By Turkish standards, this hotel is five stars. And the Emirates have a solid four
The location of the hotel, three minutes from the sea, is its biggest plus. The hotel itself is quite old, it catches your eye. But at the time when it was being built, everything was planned respectably and thoroughly. Very thick carpet on the floor, good sound insulation, large and different rooms for breakfast and lunch. But the carpet has worn out over time, towels are only large, bath towels, there are no bathrobes. The bed linen has not been changed once in 11 days of stay!!!. The food is kind of mega-tasteless. There is no choice at all. For breakfast, oatmeal soup, muesli, chopped vegetables, boiled eggs and stewed beans. There is no dessert at all, dry buns, it is unclear how to eat them and why they are laid out at all. Lunch-dinner: chopped vegetables, broth, fish is always the same, chicken, potatoes and boiled vegetables on the side, not salted at all and pasta. For dessert, mousse, one kind of pastry and a fruit salad of watermelon, melon and apple. Separate kringe - water, tea for lunch and dinner is ONLY paid, you can not bring your own from the room. There are no smoking areas in the hotel. You can actually smoke only standing in front of the hotel, actually on the sidewalk. Considering that there are no balconies in the rooms, the windows are very small, smoking in the heat, on the pedestrian sidewalk, is still a pleasure. But the hotel has a sauna and a gym. The hotel does not have its own territory either, the pool is tiny, in fact - only for children. The beach is public, clean and nice, beach towels are provided at the hotel.
The room is very dirty, the shower room is generally dark, people with children think a hundred times when choosing this hotel
The staff of this hotel are very polite. Close to the sea, very convenient! Food, breakfasts always have something to choose from!
The location is good. Near the beach and shops, cafes. That's where the advantages ended.
The hotel itself is tired. Rooms with old furniture, towels washed to holes, carpets with stains, there is a smell of dampness (ventilation and air conditioning do not help), bed linen with stains and holes.
Regarding cleaning:the staff believes that changing towels and making the bed is quite enough. For 11 days, they have never vacuumed, washed the shower and toilet, wiped the tables and bedside tables. Bed linen is promised to be replaced every 3 days (and on request every day), however, we did not change the linen, but simply made the bed for 5 days in a row and only after contacting the reception we changed the bed linen. There was a non-working refrigerator in the room. I had to go to the front desk 3 times to have it fixed or replaced. The staff won't care about you at all. You will have to take care of your comfort, cleanliness and coziness yourself. There were cockroaches in the bathroom. Sometimes they forgot to throw out the garbage and had to do it themselves. The track is not working in the hall and no one is going to fix it. The pool is open from 8, but the employee comes to work and it still takes him an hour to put the pool in order. Shouldn't the pool be open to the public already at 8?
If you want to sleep longer and ask to clean up later, believe me, no one will come and clean until you go to the reception 10 times, and even there you will have to explain what a normal room cleaning is. The windows and frames are dirty, covered in dust and streaks. Beach towels were given for free, but you should have seen their condition: incomprehensible spots, holes. There is no sound insulation, you will come across a room with a view of the street, there will be very strong noise from cars even at night, since there are many trucks and they are local fans of honking at each other, and if there is a room with a view of the pool, you will listen to the mosque at 5 am.
This is not 4 stars, but 2.
I do not recommend this hotel to you.
Everything was fine before the change of the hotel owner. After the shift.. He wants to be the best. Especially the menu and the quality of the food. Two people poisoned themselves with food in front of me. The reception remained unchanged and of high quality. All questions are solved quickly!!!
I liked everything!!!😊
Decent food! There are not many dishes, but you will not leave hungry. Everything is always fresh. We only had breakfast included, but in the end, no matter how much we washed, we returned to the proven kitchen (lunch and dinner cost 50 dirhams, that's ~ 1,000 rubles). Low bow to the cook! 🙏
The hotel is located near Al Khan Beach (5 min walk). We didn't pay for sun beds and rods, we were lying on towels that were given out at the hotel by the pool. I didn't want to go to the pool - we have a pool at home, right in the house. In walking distance from the hotel there is an Oceanarium (ticket 25 dirhams ~ 500 rubles). For trips to Dubai, the hotel is located as well as possible.
The service is excellent - the staff is very friendly and tries to please in every possible way, fulfills all requests and very quickly!
Guys with cleaning are lazy and hack! On the 3rd day, I had to order an additional cleaning, but everything was done without any arguments.
In all rooms there is carpet on the floor, which is not vacuumed every day for sure, but at least 3 times a day will be done on request. Most likely, they don't even vacuum before each check-in, I directly took a video and showed it to the receptionist at the reception, after that our room was under special control🤭
The beach is cleaned constantly. The sand is fine, clean. The hotel doesn't have its own territory, but we didn't need it - we were constantly leaving and leaving. There is an underground parking, seemingly free for hotel guests.
Everywhere they try very hard to leave only positive impressions! I recommend this hotel if you are not going to sit in it, but only to spend the night, change clothes and eat. Supervariant!
The rooms are ruined. The carpet in the rooms is dirty, the windows do not open, the air conditioner starts at +28 and does not turn down. I waited 3 days to do it, but in no way)))))
Nice hotel near the sea. The hotel has a swimming pool, gym and sauna with hammam. Comfortable rooms. The staff speaks Russian. The breakfasts are good . There are rooms for people with disabilities . We had a great rest!
I really liked the friendly staff , the most delicious desserts , the best , cozy hotel . Cleaning every day , walking distance to the beach . I'll come again.
A good hotel, calm, homely, a little tired, of course, but for 10 days of rest it does not irritate, the food is normal, it feels like everything is fresh.The location is excellent, you can walk to everything.
