We are currently staying at this hotel. It cost 170,000 with breakfast for 2 adults + 2 children under 12 years old. A beautiful lagoon with a promenade and an alley of palm trees nearby. We have a view on the right side - the Ferris wheel and the UAE flag. Disadvantages of the hotel:
- long check-in. We waited for 3 hours. But at this time, you can use the pool.
- pipes leak when you use the sink;
- poor drain and shower location - after 5 minutes, the shower fills the floor to the toilet;
- poor ventilation. It feels like someone is smoking either in the room next door or on the balcony, with our balcony closed. If you turn off the ventilation in the toilet, it smells bad of dampness. - The room is to the left of the elevator - there is never any sun. No sunrises, no sunsets :(
- poor sound insulation - you can hear everything that is being said in the next room.
- they forget to bring towels after cleaning. Once, for some reason, they put fresh towels on a dirty suitcase that was lying on the floor in the hallway, and not on a shelf in the bathroom.
- toilet paper is not brought for the third day (upd. They did not bring it until the end of the rest). There was a pack of napkins in the room, which we put next to the toilet instead of paper. She was also taken away during the cleaning.
- cleaning. The bed is not changed, cups and teaspoons are not washed. Now we have already put up a do not disturb sign, because cleaning for 5 days was to make the bed, throw out the trash, pick up towels and do not put fresh ones, which you need to go to the reception.
- the TV is not working (this would not have been noticed if the child had not fallen ill and would not have had to stay in the room, so it's just a trifle)
- upd. Check-out is at 2:55. They called at 1:40 and kicked them out of the room, saying that the guide called them and said that the bus would arrive in 5 minutes. The bus arrived at 2:55 a.m. Why lie that someone called them? They asked the guide - no one called. Keep in mind and don't get fooled by this.
Positive:
- View of the lagoon from the window
- ironing board and iron in the room
- good breakfast. Delicious melon and watermelon, pancakes with maple syrup, omelette... pleased every member of the family.
- there is a free bus to the beach and the city and back.
- kettle and cups in the room, with coffee and tea bags.
- the air conditioner can be turned off (judging by reviews in other hotels, this is not the case everywhere)
In general, about Sharjah. If you need to travel to Dubai, lay down 24 dirhams at least for a trip for 1 person there / back. Silver unlimited cards for 110 dirhams per week do not work. In any case, you pay 12 dirhams when you get on the bus.
We gave 20 thousand rubles for buses/ metro for four in 5 days.
About the food. We only took breakfast. To come to dinner at the hotel restaurant - 85 dirhams per person.
But there is a restaurant nearby where locals go - Bukhari Al Khaleej. Huge portions. You can take it with you and eat in the room. We had dinner 3 times - 3 times we took portions less and less, overeated, but could not overpower their huge portions. Dinner was 80-85 dirhams per family. The most delicious hummus I've ever eaten). To find him, you need to leave the hotel, turn left
Also nearby are Burger King (I do not recommend it) and kfc (I recommend it). The menu is not like it was in Russia - there are options for vegetarians 👍

We went to this hotel for breakfast from the neighboring one.
The impression is positive. The staff is friendly, always ready to help. The food is normal. There is no strong variety, but you will not stay hungry. Clear. The location is beautiful, near parks, the embankment, shops.

Experts told me that the Holiday is in the top three hotels in Sharjah. Having lived in it and looked at many other hotels, I think that the experts did not lie. Great location! (I would say that he is the best in terms of location). And if you also don't spare money for a room with windows on the embankment, then it's a bomb. At the same time, the rooms are quite high-quality, the beds are comfortable both for sleeping and for amorous affairs. The rooms are cleaned well, even if you do not leave money. The buffet is quite varied, although almost the same from day to day. There is a huge parking lot and this is an undoubted plus for those who rent a car. I will say this, that not all hotels in Sharjah and Dubai will allow you to park a rental car without any problems. There is a park next to the hotel (we became like the locals there and had dinner on the grass). There are also "steam trains" and a market nearby.
The only (relatively) disadvantage is the lack of a private beach. But as for me, this is nonsense, not a minus. Hotel beads are taken to Al Khan beach (if you don't want to seal at the bass and want to plunge into the waters of the Persian Gulf). The beach is fast and free for hotel guests. It was quite good for us. We went there both by hotel bus and by taxi (15 dirhams). And next to the beach there is the famous date and candy store, where prices are below market.

We were satisfied with the hotel, they asked for a view of the lagoon. The bed is great, the air conditioner worked, the TV too. The food is pleasant, someone does not like it) do not like it - you can go to the restaurants of other hotels, or to the cafes of indopacks. We took it for breakfast, but from time to time we took lunch and dinner, and the 12-year-old child ate for free. I would love to come back here again.

After reading the reviews, I knew what to be ready for.
1. Check-in. We arrived at 9 a.m., we were issued immediately, they said the meeting was at 14, but in the end they settled us at 12.
2. A room with a view of the lagoon, but what I didn't want most of all, I got - an adjacent door to another room. I went to the reception and asked for a room change. The arrogant receptionist began to assure that no one would live in the next room, and our room would be quiet. My stupid guide from Anex was standing next to me - by the way, I don't recommend it to anyone - I bred it from the Turkish market. And the guide also assured that there would be no check-in in the next room. As a result, the neighbors turned out to be Arabs who were listening loudly to the TV and smoking on the balcony, which caused all the smoke to come towards us. With the scandal, on the second day I still knocked out another number, which turned out to be many times better.
3. The cleanliness of the first room was questionable, the mugs had to be washed, there were stains from other people's fingers on the cabinet. In the second room, everything turned out to be clean.
4. In the first room there were not even glasses for toothbrushes, I had to improvise.
5. Drain the bathroom. That's horrible. How could it be so stupid to design and build. Yes, every shower turns into a flood.
6. I feel terribly sorry for the cleaners, who have to suffer from this consequence of the bathroom every day.
7. The pool is super.
8. Breakfasts are scarce. Even hotels in the Leningrad region bypass, it would seem, the UAE in breakfast. On the 4th day, I was already sick of this food. Nothing has changed in a week, except that the pancakes have disappeared.
9. I didn't take lunches and dinners, we went next door to a restaurant with an excellent Swedish area.
10. The gym doesn't work - it's a fiasco.
11. There are a lot of seals in the pool area. Therefore, always take a few sausages with you from breakfast- the seals will be happy.
Will I come back here? If the price is very low and there are no alternatives. Purposefully, no.

We read the reviews and went to this hotel, in fact the room turned out to be terribly dirty, the third bed and water were not brought, so we asked to be moved to the neighboring Marbella hotel, we looked at everything in our room, apologized and moved to a huge bungalow in Marbella, which we were incredibly glad about, the only thing that pleased us was the restaurant in holiday, and lunches and dinners are just in it from Marbella to go 3 minutes, so we advise Marbella, despite the fact that their reception is not very good, the rooms are better than in holiday

We are leaving the Holiday hotel and decided to leave a review, I liked everything from the food to the room with a view of the lagoon! There is a transfer to the plaza at 9 a.m., on weekdays from 10 to 15 it takes you to the city center of Deira, from there you can take the subway to the Dubai Mall. Hotel solid 4👍👍

I liked the hotel, the food is excellent, the room is cleaned and the bar is replenished every day. They take a bus to the beach in two trips, sometimes in three, but this is not critical. I would like to wish the hotel to green up more territory.The location of the hotel is very good, there is a place to walk in the evening.

Nice hotel in a good location, near a park, embankment, shops, bus station. It's a long way to the beach, a free bus takes you.
The kitchen is edible, but monotonous.

We only ate at this hotel, being clients of the neighboring Marbella Resort, apparently, these are different "pockets of some pants". Of course, there is no variety like in Turkish "all inclusive", but the food is all high-quality, delicious (as far as possible in the UAE), hot. Cooks are constantly lining up-updating containers, waiters are bringing (unfortunately occasionally and as if reluctantly)) and they pour water and soda.

The hotel as a whole is not bad , but the room was offered not corresponding to the accommodation ... ( two double beds for three ..😁) And only a day later, after the "additional payment", the issue with the number was resolved ... reminded Turkey)))
