Good enough hotel for a short stay located nearby roads and a lake. Business style of not very cosy rooms with monochromic interior. Good bed. Very nice breakfast.
Nice places to walk in 20-25 minutes walking distance.

I really liked the hotel. It is made in a modern style. Nice design, new furniture, snow-white fluffy towels, comfortable bed. The staff is polite and friendly, they don't speak Russian. I only needed a hair dryer in the room, I need to ask for it at the reception. Delicious cuisine. A bus took me to the beach. The purest sea, white sand. The entrance to the beach is free, you have to pay for sun beds and umbrellas. The good location of the hotel provides an excellent opportunity for walking. At first it was difficult to move around the city, since there are almost no footpaths in Sharjah, but then they got used to crossing the road in a convenient place even with a large flow of cars. In general, we were satisfied with our stay at this hotel.

I have already written a review about the hotel.
Now I want to talk about excursions and guides.
I took 3 excursions - to Oman, the Shah Zain Mosque and Dubai City.
I am delighted with the guides and the excursions.
How much knowledge they give.
I was lucky - we had a guide Lyudmila in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. This is something incredible!
Easy serving. There is a lot of knowledge about this country. Attentive to everyone. For two days Lyudmila gave us her energy, time, and shared her experience of living in this amazing country.
And I didn't regret going to Oman.Cyril the guide 🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍With humor, with love for the people of this country, with a huge amount of knowledge, which he gladly passed on to us, introducing us to the culture of this people.
Thank you, our dear compatriots, for your hard work!!!

Great hotel! For a short stay for two people. The staff is very hospitable, all issues are resolved within 10 minutes. We were looking for a quiet hotel, for adults. We're lucky-that's what he is. If you want to take a walk, everything is within walking distance: the center, the embankment with a promenade, and departure to the neighboring Emirate of Dubai. Thank you for the clear organization of our stay at the Novotel sharjah expo centre.

We stayed at the hotel from December 23 to December 29, 2024. We had a family vacation with a child, the meals were breakfast/lunch/dinner. There is a construction site near the hotel! It's been noisy since 7 a.m., we couldn't sleep!
It takes about half an hour to drive from Dubai Airport.
The hotel itself is not big, the furniture is not damaged, everything looks decent. There is a swimming pool and a small game room, a gym.
A hairdryer is provided on request, towels are not a complete set, you need to ask every time, as well as toothpastes/ brushes. Cotton pads and sticks were not seen at all. The dispensary has shampoo and gel.
The room was overlooking the lagoon, very beautiful both morning and evening. There is a kettle and a fridge in the room. The windows don't open, but there's no smell. With the air conditioner turned off 24-25g.
There is a shuttle service to the public beach, you need to sign up, but if there are places, they take both there and back, a taxi from the beach is about 400 rubles. But the hotel bus has long intervals of 4 hours, and it's hard to be with children under the scorching sun. Sun beds/umbrellas are available for a fee. The entrance is smooth, the sand is good. We also went to the lagoon next to the hotel, to dig sand and build castles.
There is no Russian-speaking staff, but everything is quickly resolved with a translator.
There is an aquarium and a playground next to the beach in a 7-minute walk. The entrance for all is about 2 thousand. There is also a marina, from which you can sail to the nearest metro station for 450 rubles.
Near the hotel, there is an exchange office, Nestro (like our Auchan) and other shops/pharmacies within walking distance. We took a taxi to the embankment (Karim), there are also several mosques, singing fountains, and a 30-minute walk back along the double gis map.
Food. Breakfasts: no porridge, omelets, eggs, sausages, rice, soups, vegetables, fruits, olives, yoghurts, cheeses, toasts, croissants, etc., everything is standard, delicious, there is something to eat, but the choice is not super huge. Coffee, fresh orange juice, juices.
Lunch/dinner: only water, not even tea, 3-5 kinds of sweet cakes, but delicious. Also, rice without spices, pasta with different sauces, the rest is spicy. Meat/fish is spicy every other time, sometimes normal. Vegetables, a couple of salads. In general, the main food for children is rice, vegetables, fish/meat, if you are lucky. Little choice, but delicious. There is soup, but again not for children)
Up to the age of 5, it is difficult to feed if you eat more or less normally, and not fries with nuggets. In general, the hotel has all its 4 good stars!)
But as much as I read the reviews, the food in other hotels is even worse or according to the menu, it was important for us to have a buffet, to feed the child selectively.
Few people go to the info meetings, but they offered 3 free trips to Dubai, through the factory, then take them to the Mall, back on their own.

The hotel came in. The bass player. Sauna (although it is not possible to warm up with your spouse and children until 22). Swedish approx. The only thing is they don't give tea for dinner..... It's strange. There are a lot of pastries. There is no boiling water. Tea and coffee in the morning. Fruit. Fried eggs. Omelets are optional... yoghurts, next time I won't take dinner. Yes. There is also a construction site nearby. It doesn't bother you at night. But from 7:00 they are hammering as if in the next room. Like an alarm clock. Those who like to sleep, please note. One night, concrete was poured.... Without stopping or. But we were tired, so it didn't matter...Dubai deserves attention

A good 4-star hotel, delicious varied European and local food, sometimes spicy, grilled. The service is excellent, courteous staff, mostly English-speaking, cleaning the room every day and changing towels on request, hospitable managers in the restaurant. The beach is relatively far away, 7 minutes by taxi, the hotel pays for the taxi fare after providing receipts. The beach itself is called Alkhan, clean, white sand, changing rooms and showers with toilets, small cafes and a shop in the beach area, a beautiful playground. The hotel itself is located in a fairly noisy place near the exhibition, there are rooms facing other houses and the road, and there are rooms facing the bay. The room is standard for two with a double bed and a sofa on which a child can sleep. The rooms are neat, spacious, with plasma and telephone, there is an electric kettle, mini fridge, cups, tea bags, water in glass bottles, safe, slippers, soap, gels, shampoos. There is wifi. There is air conditioning, the windows to the street do not open. The bathroom is neat, good plumbing.

Great hotel. Good staff. Beautiful spacious rooms. But there are no balconies, it's sad. The room has an iron, a maid brought a hair dryer, water, a kettle. Cleaning every day, but on a strange schedule. They could have cleaned up in the morning, that's great. Or they come in the evening when you are already resting and have to refuse. There are beach towels. A small swimming pool and a gym. The breakfasts are not bad, but they are always the same. On day 10, it is no longer possible to eat. The main disadvantage is that there is no transfer to the shopping mall in Dubai. Many of them do, even at a lower level. Yes, there is only a taxi, but it is paid once a day. But it happens that you can't catch a taxi, and you stand for 30 minutes. Therefore, it is not convenient. It's much easier to use a shared transfer. And they pay only 14 dirhams, even if the trip costs 19. And there are traffic jams and not small ones. The beach is free for hotel guests. Sun beds and umbrellas are paid and very expensive. There is no cafe near the hotel, just fast. A lot of people get poisoned, including us. It is not worth visiting Indian fast.

A very cool hotel. We were not too lazy to take a view of the bay. Nicely. The staff is very friendly and responsive to requests. Everything is clean and beautiful. A cozy gym that is almost always free, a small outdoor pool.
For some reason, there was no hair dryer and toothbrushes with paste in the rooms by default, but after they told us about it, they gave us everything 🙂
But of course it's a 15-20 minute walk to the cool beach. But we are normal

I liked the hotel. View rooms. There is a place to walk. Parking is nearby. A varied breakfast and very tasty dinners, 2 times a week they even arrange themed ones. I did not like the pool - it is small and cold, so located that the sun practically does not get in. And a strange story with towels, four people lived with children, towels were always left for 2 people. In general, there were still stops, due to the convenient location.

There were 7 nights in October 2024 (breakfast, dinner) , immediately from the cons to the beach they now take buses with a capacity of 12-14 people, three flights to 9:00, 9:20, 9:40, you never need to make an appointment, there is no return after 12, there is no transfer to the beach in the evening, it is very inconvenient. The food is monotonous every day, almost the same thing, but everything is delicious and in sufficient quantity, beef, chicken, fish every day. At dinner, there are no drinks except water, not even tea, all for an additional fee.
And so a very decent hotel for your money, everything is stylish, nice spacious rooms, great view of the lagoon (if you pay extra) good staff, there is a small swimming pool and sauna for 2.5 people ) , solid 4

We were at the hotel from March 11 to March 22 and were delighted with the hotel. The hotel staff is very helpful and friendly. If something is needed, you can always contact the receptionist and they will provide everything you need. We had breakfast and dinner, it was very tasty and varied. There was always a taxi to the beach to Al Khan beach, taxis were near the hotel. Cleaning was done every day, water was put in the room every day. There is a gym and a cozy swimming pool. For a 4 star hotel, the service is at the highest level🥰😊

A wonderful hotel! The location is good. You can replace dinner with lunch! The dinners and breakfasts are good. Coffee and tea are on the second floor. The pool is small and heated. You can take a taxi to the beach, take a check from the driver and the days for the taxi are refunded at the hotel! I was pleased with the slippers, the water was changed every day. Towels were changed once a week. For an additional fee, you can rent a room with a beautiful view. The reception staff is friendly. The bus stop is a 10-minute walk away.It is more convenient to take a taxi to the metro and then travel by metro. Of course there are nuances, I recommend a solid 4*!

We rested here a week before the new year. I liked the hotel. Clean, cozy, the room has everything you need. Cleaning every day, linen is changed, water is brought, a hairdryer was needed - they brought it without problems. I can't hear the neighbors, nor the noise of the street.
The reception staff is very friendly, all issues were resolved promptly. But I had to explain myself in English.
We took breakfasts and dinners, very tasty and varied. For example, Italian cuisine on Fridays, and something else on other days. The New Year's dinner was excellent, there was a lot of varied meat, there was sushi, very tasty tiramisu. Dinner can be exchanged for lunch at no extra charge.
The hotel has a swimming pool, but it is small, mostly children are gurgling there. Tea and coffee can be found on the M floor at any time.
We went to the beach by taxi, the payment was compensated by the hotel. But it was important to leave around 10.30-11.00 and return before 15. This, of course, is not very convenient.
Of the disadvantages, I will note only one thing - there is no balcony, the windows do not open, there is practically nowhere to dry wet things and they do not dry out to the end. Otherwise, everything is fine.

The hotel is bombastic, breakfast and dinner are just fire compared to Turkish and even more so Egyptian catering for this money. The rooms are fresh and large, everything works. There is no transfer to Dubai, but there is a transfer to the beach by taxi. The location is good, you can walk to several shopping centers in half an hour or just walk along the embankment. It takes an hour to walk to the trains, but there is nothing to do there, by the way, there is a fish market next to them with the opportunity to cook, but I think it's for an amateur, the price tag is not cheap, it's cheaper to stock up and eat in our "Globe", but here just for an excursion. If you are passing through or the sea is clear, then it is normal. If it's special, it's better to stay in Dubai, all traffic is there.

A good hotel with 4* stars, which deserves a rating of 4. I was lucky to compare with another 4*, so I'm writing a review based on the comparison.
Among the advantages: clean and comfortable rooms with a comfortable bed and a comfortable pillow. Good plumbing. Good Wi-Fi. There are transfers to Al Khan Beach. Reliable staff, if necessary, will provide an outlet adapter and additional water in the room or a hairdryer.
On the downside: the breakfasts are not very varied. But there won't be any problems with nutrition. I won't describe it much, since there were only breakfasts. They are quite edible with a minimum set of everything necessary.
But, as an example, fresh orange juice is brought here in a 1L bottle and it goes away instantly. This is only 5 servings of 200ml each. During the week of my stay, I was lucky enough to drink fresh only a couple of times. The sausages here don't taste like much and there's only one kind.
Linen is changed on demand, we left a note and a small reward, but this did not happen. They didn't call and ask why, I'm sure they would have replaced it, but they were very tired. Not a fatal joint
The windows in the room do not open, the temperature is regulated only by a rather noisy air conditioning system. I'm used to the fresh, cool air. And I know that this is important to many people.
There are no pedestrian crossings to cross the road. Of course, the problem is more municipal, but for me, a large international 4* hotel should meet the safety standards of guests, especially those arriving with young children.

A great hotel in the city of Sharjah. Within 5 minutes by taxi Al Khan beach, taxi compensates the hotel from 10 to 15. Delicious food: there was always meat and fish, fruits, several types of salads.
A comfortable bed, the room has everything you need, even an ironing board. Good sound insulation, the neighbors were not at all audible.
The only negative is the shower stall, from which water was pouring out all over the bathroom.

We stayed at this hotel from April 9 to 22, 2024.
The hotel is not bad, not tired, the furniture and rooms are good. Keep in mind that there are no balconies and ventilation. Only the air conditioner. The room has a kettle, tea, and a refrigerator for a minibar. There is also an ironing board and an iron in the room. The pool is not large, but comfortable, there are sun beds. There is a sauna for 2-3 people in the locker room. Saunas are separate for men and women. A good gym. A lovely children's room with wooden toys and a TV. A big plus for the hotel is the compensation of a taxi from the hotel to the beach and back. But you need to return from the beach before 15:00, and accordingly provide receipts from taxi drivers for trips. Taxi to the Beach is 14 dirhams.

The hotel itself is very good. Food is expensive. The coffee is terrible, there is no coffee machine (i.e. there is, but it is in the kitchen and you can order a cappuccino through the waiter, for example). A huge plus is that in the morning you can take a taxi from the hotel to the nearest beach (Al Khan) and back (almost 4.5 km one way), take checks from taxi drivers, give them at the reception and you will get your money back.

Friends, I am glad to share my impressions of visiting this hotel. I chose it based on reviews. I often visit the Emirates. The Novotel had a solid five. I hasten to reduce it a little. Not everything is perfect, but not everything is bad either. The emotions from the cons have gone away a little, so it's constructive. The location is convenient. The beach is 4km from the hotel. It's not the best, there are a lot of Russians, as well as dirt from their stay here (there is a lot of garbage and cigarette butts in the sand). You can take a taxi to the beach. The hotel pays. Only departure is possible no earlier than 10.30. Come back as you wish. The breakfasts are good. You can choose. You won't be hungry. The food is fresh, as are the pastries. Satisfied. I still haven't had my underwear changed during my stay. It's been 4 days. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, shaving machines, slippers, shower cap and other "necessities" were not found in the room on the day of arrival. I had to go down to the reception three times and ask. Two hours later, it arrived. Awful. Gel, soap, shampoo in the room are not individually packaged, but in a common bottle (dispensers). I don't like this approach. Towels are changed on request, as well as room cleaning. Tea and coffee can be drunk 24 hours on the floor M. Tea bags, coffee, sugar cannot be found in the room, although there are mugs and a kettle. The room itself is small (standard). For two beds, instead of one, or a room with a view of the bay, you need to pay extra. To summarize. My score is 4 out of 5. When choosing a hotel next time, I will think about whether to return or look for an alternative.

We were with a friend from March 10 to March 17, 2024, checked in at 11 o'clock immediately, room (1304) was ready. We left at 13 o'clock, with the arrival of the transfer, the deposit was not taken from us. We took 7 minutes by taxi from the hotel to Alkhanbich beach for 14 derham and back for 14, immediately at the reception we were compensated for 28 derham, only the taxi driver had to take checks and show a business card with the name of the hotel, there are hotels similar in name, we got caught on the first day and rolled 42 from the beach to the hotel, only 15 derham were compensated. The staff was very polite, on request they brought an extra blanket, a hairdryer, helped with the safe, brought water every day, cleaned and changed towels. Shampoo, shower gel and face wash of pleasant quality in dispensers. The food in the restaurant is very diverse: meat dishes, vegetables, soup, fruits, vegetables in sufficient quantities, dates, nuts. I would like to praise the beach: it is huge, a tractor clears the white sand every morning, there are showers, cabins, a toilet, a playground. Umbrellas (30 underhams) and deck chairs (not taken)paid. Excursions were taken from the guide . In front of the hotel there is a passage to the promenade by the lagoon, if you go right to the bridge and turn to the canal, then the view is like in Venice.Generally delighted. We definitely recommend it.

A great hotel for a family vacation!
Transfer to the sea in the form of a taxi (pay from your wallet, but the hotel will refund you if you show the receipt)
There is a currency exchange office across the street, but it takes 10-15 minutes to walk to the nearest pedestrian crossing in one direction, do not run over too much traffic.
It is absolutely safe to take excursions to Dubai and it does not take long to get to the airport.☺️
The hotel itself is clean and well maintained, there is something to choose to eat, I liked everything 🥰

Breakfast and dinner were included, you can change it for lunch if you are going somewhere on an excursion. The food is good and delicious. In the morning, tea, coffee, freshly squeezed juices. Only water for dinner. Delicious pastries. We went to the beach by taxi, the money is returned by check. The staff is very polite and friendly.

The worst hotel in Dubai
1) there are no dinners - or it's not very tasty. You come to dinner, but there is no buffet, you are given a menu in which you can choose 1 salad, 1 soup and 1 of 2-3 hot ones. We chose meat - it was like the sole of shoes - they don't know how to cook (it was a pity to pay for breakfast and dinner and get this!!!!!!
2) water in the room for drinking only in glass bottles - The cat can not be taken from the room
3) from the shower, the water rubs into the bathroom and does not drain into the drain hole - the bath is a puddle.
4) the smell in the room is damp and just unpleasant
5) there is 1 transfer from the hotel to the sea (with a limited number of people - to warn a day in advance - to book a place in transport)
And the most important thing is that the transport departs from the hotel at 10:30 in the morning, and you will be picked up back at 15:30! May +35 degrees !
6) you are lying on your towel on the beach - there are no sun loungers or an umbrella from this hotel!
* the whole vacation went to the sea by taxi. 10 minutes by taxi and 15 derham one way +15 derham back and so on every day)
7) the pool is located at the hotel on about the 3rd floor of the hotel and the sun appears over the pool in May at exactly 12 o'clock in the afternoon - in the sun!

P.S. We really liked Dubai, but we will definitely not return to this hotel anymore!
