Al Sharq Hotel Reviews

A good alternative for the expensive Dubai! Not the best location, but you get around!

Nice staff and fair rooms to cheap prices. Outside of Dubai.

just 50 AED by taxi to dubai airport, tho not in dubai city but still acceptable. most annoying thing is the mosque beside it where people pray and sing over microphone at 5 every morning

- Problems with proper water flow with shower and toilet - Min one hour to and from Dubai can be a pain after a while, especially return. For example you might spend one hour queuing for a bus ticket in Dubai. Made me think if the cheaper room was really worth it. - No swimming pool by the hotel. The swimming pool 15 minute walk away sounded like it was not very good. * Hotel staff was not as helpful as I thought * Quite an average hotel + Price is ok if you want to stay in Sharjah

If you want to go into Dubai each day then you need to allow a good two hours each way by bus. I wasn't bothered by the 5.15am wake up call from the local mosque but this should be mentioned for those who like their sleep. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The room was a little on the basic side with odd furnishings and a fan instead of air-con but it was what I expected for the money.

Great place to stay if you're looking for a budget alternative. Extremely nice staff and my private room was alright considering what I paid for it. Located in Sharjah, bit of a bus ride when the traffic is busy and the emirate is more conservative compared to Dubai which you should have in mind. I liked it though, not my best experience and Dubai itself is not that suitable for backpacking in general, but I'd still recommend this!

This Place is exactly what I was looking for, the staff is super helpful and nice, they give you very good directions and can plan your days if you like. The day that I arrived I went on the Desert Safari, their price was very good (US$ 55.00) and they pick you up and drop you off at the same hotel, their driver is very nice. They also offer airport pick up and drop off, everything was on time. They kept my passport at the time of check in

This hotel should no be advertised with Dubai hostels. The hotel is in another state. It's not Dubai. You don't book a hotel in Arizona if you are staying in California e.g. The hotel was nice. But not the neighbourhood. I didn't feel safe and if you are a girl then you get a lot of uncomfortable attention. They say it is near the Airport. They got us at that but there are a lot of airports!! So hotel good, location horrible.

This hostel is not in Dubai but in another Emirate called Sharja. In my opinion it was great to come here because this city has it's own charm and lots for fountains and light shows. Dubai is not too far from here but do not travel in rush hours because it will take you one hour. The Fish Market station in Sharja is close to the hotel and there are buses from here to City Center Mall in Dubai and also to the Union metro station. From the Dubai Airpor you can take the metro to these stations :)

A little bit far from the airport but it makes it worth for the attention and education of the staff. Very comfortable hotel for a very low price, excellent cost-benefit ratio. I recommend!

all the best

WIFI at the rooms would be nice

Nice and helpful staff!

Very convenient and excellent value for money.

Though you have to ride over 1 hour bus to get Dubai city centor, it's good & reasonable choice around the area. The staff are also kind and supportive enough. The area is safe and comfortable to get around.
