ebookers.com list this as a 4* hotel which it certainly is not. The hotel itself only shows 3*'s outside. Room decor is old, rooms are poky and there are very limited facilities. Despite 14 floors - no views to speak of from any side of the building. Breakfast is a waste of time. No coffee or tea making facilities in the room.
Taxi drivers do not know Sharjah (and don't know the Sahara) if you land at Dubai, took us over 2 hrs to get from airport to hotel.
Be warned of staying in Sharjah, particularly ladies. This is a totally male dominated city. There are no women outside in the daytime. There are hundreds and hundreds of men though. In Dubai there are other tourists, here it is not a tourist centre, so any female on the streets in the daytime gets some very awkward attention in our experience.
Bus terminal is just around the corner, but traffic into Dubai is horrendous. Stayed here to save some money, but seriously don't - pay a bit more and stay on the Jumeirah side of Dubai, its worth it!
