Good afternoon! We rested in this hotel with my family and were disappointed.
This is not the first time in the UAE, or rather the fifth, so there is something to compare with. Before that, we constantly rested in Dubai, also in apartments (to be honest, they are a level higher).
After reading positive reviews, we decided without hesitation to go to Ramada Sharjah, which we later regretted. Unfortunately, the rest in this hotel and the emirate of Sharjah left a negative imprint on the perception of our beloved country, the UAE.
So, let's begin.
1) The location of the hotel.
Well, I have to agree that the location of the hotel is very favorable, as it is located on the border with Dubai. Also nearby are the Sahara Mall and many small shops where you can buy the necessary and inexpensive products.
2) Numbers.
It seems that this is the second and last plus of the hotel.
The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need (this is where the positives end).

Internet wi-fi, but it almost didn’t work in the bedrooms. Only in the living room. coming from a nearby mosque.
3) Service.
Not to say that it was completely terrible, but rather 3. Not all requests were fulfilled immediately, sometimes we had to repeat several times. Once they didn’t even clean the room, although we asked.
The service in the dining room is terrible. We even encountered the fact that we had to pour ourselves tea and coffee, and take cutlery (as the tables were not always set). In my opinion, no 4 * hotel should allow such a thing.
4) Nutrition.
The food is obviously 2. The choice is meager. The only thing that pleased me was juices and fruits. The buns were very hard and obviously not fresh, but 2-3 days old. Rice, pasta are not tasty. and beans, buns with butter (sometimes fresh ones came across, but this is a rarity).
5) Transfer.
it just didn’t exist! miraculously it was canceled on the day of our arrival due to the hotel’s problems with the government and entry into Dubai. but something tells me that the only problem is the minimum number of Russian vacationers and the unwillingness to take them to beach. Oh yes, the hotel was completely packed with Chinese and Indians, only European faces were rarely visible, not to mention Russian ones.
Speaking of the transfer, there was all hope for it, since a lot of money was spent on a taxi.
By the way, taxi drivers in Sharjah are much more arrogant than in Dubai. Even during the day they took 9 AED for landing.
We went to the city beach lulu beach. The beach is not very clean, the color of the water in Sharjah is different. In Dubai it is blue, here it is greenish-yellow. The animators constantly rode scooters along the coast, the neighboring hotel smelled of fried food. on the positive side).
In general, the result is the same: if you have previously rested in some Turkey in a 3 * hotel, then Ramada Sharjah will seem ideal to you!
If you are used to a comfortable stay, then bypass this hotel. It is desirable, of course, to go to Dubai.

And we... decided to somehow diversify our stay in the UAE and change, so to speak, the place of deployment. The experiment failed.
We will never go to Sharjah again in our lives.
