“Good rooms...OK service....but Hilton is coming!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2012

Hilton are taking over this hotel in July....so you can feel the changes coming! I was there for 3 months...and though the breakfast is boringe everyday...its the standard Hilton one. The restaurants are closed....and should re-open soon.

Great location opposite the corniche.
Gym and sauna is excellent...and hardly used.

Service is ok...some of the front office could be more helpful.

Room Tip: Make sure you get a corniche facing room.

“Bad experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012

The room I stayed in had old furniture and carpets and seems to be long overdue for a refurbish. I was given a deluxe or a suite with two rooms and bathrooms (didn't really care), but it didn't have a modern hotel feel to it.

Location is good and the view is nice as well. Hotel staff was nice and courteous as well.

I was there for one night only due to a business trip and got in late with an early morning conference and wanted one shirt pressed, however, I was told by the staff that they do not have their own laundry and the external laundery service they use will not open till 9 AM and my shirt cannot be returned before 10 as a result. Generally, at hotels they can get something to you quick by 8 if you arrive late in the night.

I was surprised and when I asked to speak to the duty manager I was told that he doesn't come in till 8 in the morning.

I had a very limited experience of one night only so can't comment more. Will avoid in future.

Room Tip: Get a view of corniche. Probably the only pro for this hotel.

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay at our hotel.

Firstly, it was encouraging to read of your satisfaction with our location and your comments on our “nice and courteous staff”.

“Top rate hotel in an excellent area”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 April 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Just returned from an 8 night stay at the hotel, was an excellent stay from start to finish. The hotel is perfectly located between Sharjah and Dubai on a beautiful lake, and as we had a lagoon facing room, was a pleasure to gaze upon the open areas at any point of time. The room we had was in an excellent condition, clean and smelling fresh. The bathroom was also clean and well appointed. Taxis are cheap and plentiful from the hotel, on a good day you can get to Dubai airport in 20 minutes. I would highly reccomment the new Al Majaz entertainment area which is a pleasant ten minute walk away providing lots of open green spaces, kids park and resturants. Al Qasba area is also great where you can find pleanty of places to eat and drink and also take a boat ride out into the lake and even better, Dubai is on your doorstep with all its attractions. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Room Tip: Ask for a lagoon facing roon

“Good business hotel”

Stayed here several times on business. Good facilities and friendly staff. Nice location on the Buhaira Cornice and close to the Kasba. Good gym and two pools. Rooms well appointed.

Room Tip: Ask for a room facing the lagoon. Rear rooms will hear the call to prayer between 5am and 6am every...

Dear Mr Russell,

Thank you for choosing to stay at Corniche Al Buhaira Hotel during your recent stay in Sharjah and moreover for taking the time to share your feedback on our hotel and its team.

Whilst it is gratifying to learn of your satisfaction with the facilities, such as the gym (which has recently been refurbished to Hilton Brand Standards), it is the kind comments regarding the ‘friendly staff’ that we value most, as that is the essence of hospitality which we strive daily to achieve.

Meanwhile we look forward to welcoming you back to Corniche Al Buhaira Hotel in the future.
Yours sincerely,

“Difficult to find.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I booked Corniche Al Buhaira from booking.com because the review at the site was pretty good and the Radisson Blue had some seriously bad reviews on Tripadvisor. I made the booking on the day I was going there.

On the whole, the hotel was okay. But it was not up to 5 star standard. First of all, it was not easy to find the hotel when driving. We went around the block several times until recognizing the hotel from one of its pics on the website. There was no sign. Even on the hotel. They said they were preparing a new one as a member of Hilton.

The hotel is pretty standard and the reception was friendly. Even though my booking detail was not there, it didn't take very long. However I booked a club room smoking, but it turns out all the club rooms are nonsmoking and I was checked into a deluxe room.

The room was very standard too. But there were things missing like some tissue, a pair of slippers. there was no wifi in the room but only wired Internet.

I didn't spend much time at the hotel so I don't know much about other facilities. I had breakfast at the hotel. Breakfast buffet was not so bad. Egg scramble was really nice. But breakfast is lacking in variety. No pancake,no omelette, no bacon etc. I wouldn't recommend the breakfast buffet to others.

Dear Ms SookYoung,

Greetings from Corniche Al Buhaira Hotel, Sharjah.

Thank you for your comments on our hotel posted on TripAdvisor.

Firstly, I do apologise that this response is rather late and thank you for the positive comments regarding our ‘Friendly Reception’ and ‘really nice scrambled eggs’.

However, I was disappointed to learn of your challenges finding our hotel due to the current lack of exterior signage.

As you noted in your comments, we are currently upgrading the property in many respects in order to meet the requirements of a Hilton hotel and this will of course include new exterior signage, Wi-Fi in all rooms and many other Hilton Brand Standards. This work is expected to be completed in Q3 of this year.

Should you ever again decide to stay in Sharjah, please contact me directly and I will ensure that all aspects of your stay are well taken care of.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Gosling
