Рамада Шарджа Ramada Sharjah

Rested with my husband in this hotel for 2 weeks from October 6-20. The hotel was very good, as expected. We arrived in the evening, so we were placed immediately, we got a room on the 12th floor, we didn’t take a deposit. You need to know English in order to at least understand what they are saying to you, in the hotel no one, except for guides, speaks or understands Russian, but they are always ready to help. The staff is friendly, helpful and without any tips, which, by the way, as it seemed to us, they don’t take there (left a dollar on the cleaner’s bed, cleaned the room, changed the bedding, didn’t take a dollar).
The room is huge, 2 bathrooms, a bedroom with a TV, a living room with a large plasma, a dining room and a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator. Everything is in good condition, not killed, the bed is snow-white, individual air conditioners, a good hair dryer in the dressing table drawer with a socket, there is a safe in the closet, an ironing board with an iron. In general, very comfortable, like at home - everything is there. The room was cleaned daily, soap, shampoo, shower gel, towels changed, coffee (strong and light), tea (black and green), sugar (substitute, white, brown), cream (4 pcs. ) and a bottle of water every day room is also free. Shows 1 Russian channel - ORT international.
Now about the food - we took only breakfast, and that was enough for us. Breakfast at the hotel from 6.30-10.30. For breakfast, the choice is normal, everything is delicious, but every day the same thing: eggs (boiled, scrambled eggs), vermicelli, milk porridge, beans in sauce, stewed vegetables, pancakes, bread, croissants (3 types), muesli (3 types) , milk, water, juices in the machine, fruits - pineapples, oranges, watermelons, melons, apples (green and red), bananas, grapefruits, dried fruits - figs, dried apricots, prunes, raisins, 3 types of yogurt, honey, nut paste, cucumbers , tomatoes, cheeses. If something was over, then they immediately brought a full plate, tea, coffee was poured by the waiter, that is, we didn’t find it somewhere ourselves, so we waited for it.

After breakfast we went straight to the beach. Towels were taken to the beach on the 5th floor, where the pool, sauna and gyms are located (separately for men and women). the other, so the wait is not very long if you do not have time. Entrance to the beach costs 5 dirhams per person. The beaches are not very clean, but everywhere there are trash cans, toilets, showers, and a shop with cold Pepsi, water and other soft drinks, as well as products for sunbathing and bathing. Pepsi, Fanta, Sprite in 0.355 ml cans and 0.5 ml water cost 2 dirhams. We went to beach 3, there are fewer people, more palm trees and they say the entrance to the sea is better and cleaner, which is very warm in October (about 33-35 degrees). The hotel has a business center on the ground floor with wired 24-hour free internet, but to talk on Skype, take headphones with a microphone from home, we bought in a supermarket for 33 dirhams. There is WI FI in the hotel, in the room too, but it is paid and costs 25 dirhams per hour. From 16.30-17.15 the hotel provides a transfer to Dubai to the Deira City Center metro station and picks it back up at 21.30-22.00. Everything about the hotel seems to be.
Now excursions. We took a survey of Dubai from Natalie Tours - we didn’t like it, we regretted that we didn’t take it from Aladdin or Arabian Knight, they are cheaper and richer, but they either take it from the beach, which is not very convenient with things and towels, etc. or from Nasser Square at 13.00, it was necessary to get there in the heat, but if a group gathers from you from the hotel, then everyone will be taken from the hotel. We went to Abu Dhabi with Arabian Knight, we liked it very much - I recommend it! We went by metro to the Dubai Mall on our own, to the fountains - super !!! , looked at the Burj Khalifa (we didn’t go up, we left it next time), the Mall of the Emirates (we looked at the indoor ski slope), in Sharjah we went to the famous "Trains" ( taxi from the hotel 19 dirhams), you can buy inexpensive souvenirs, things, etc. , we went to the Ferris wheel, the so-called "eye of the Emirates", there is a beautiful promenade, many children's attractions and cafes. A wheel ticket costs 30 dirhams for adults and 15 dirhams for children.
Now about shopping. There are many local malls within walking distance from the hotel, where you can skimp well and inexpensively if you don’t need brands for big money. We basically bought everything in them, everything is there, from groceries on the ground floor to clothes, dishes, toys, cafe-restaurants on the upper floors - this is LuLu supermarket, Ansar Mall (6 floors), Safir Mall, and opposite of the Sahara Center hotel, there is a Spinneys grocery supermarket on the ground floor, where everyone buys groceries, but LuLu is cheaper.
The departure was early, at the reception they gave cards, paid for a phone call from the room (if you call Sharjah, then the call from the room is free, if you call Dubai (Aladdin, Arabian Knight), then 2 dirhams per minute. They brought to the airport quickly, the flight was delayed for an hour, no one warned, they waited, it was a lot of time to walk around duty free. That's probably all. I liked the Emirates, the hotel too, if we get together again, then most likely to the same hotel, price-quality ratio is 5 + There will be questions, I will answer.
