4-Star Hotels in Sharjah

We stayed for 2 weeks in late January 2026 and had a very good time at Marbella Resort. I was cautious when making a booking due to controversial reviews on various sites. Some customers seemed to be concerned with such issues as cleanliness, insects or even geckos in rooms, staff attitude and lack of soundproof between rooms. Fortunately, we had no issues of that kind at all. Upon our late arrival we got Master Suite 3701 on the ground floor of 2 floor villa. Summary of things we liked: - An opportunity to occupy part of a villa with your own patio close to nice waterfront / promenade for a very reasonable price (by UAE standards of course) is unbeatable - Master Suite (living room with sofa, kitchen area, bedroom) was of a decent size for 2 adults with a kid - Hotel has a pool which seems to be ok though we preferred to use the pool in Holiday International (just 2-3 min from our villa) which was warm in January and had kid’s section with just 58 sm in depth - Hotel has a small playground for kids and there is another one in Holiday International - There are 2 amusement parks within 20 min walking distance from the hotel (Al Montazah and AlMajaz) which is perfect when you have a small kid - No noise from neighbors, according to reception we had soundproof doors between rooms which seems to be true. Not sure if all villas have these - Reception staff was always polite and helpful - Beds were comfortable - Bed linen and towels were fresh enough - Cleaning was ok most of the time - No insects (even mosquitoes) or geckos - Breakfast in Holiday International was ok though quite crowded and not much daily changes - Washing machine in room, large fringe, microwave, 2 TVs (which we never used) - Four bottles of drinking water provided every day - Nice Spinneys supermarket is just 5 min by feet - WiFi was better than expected Summary of shortcomings: - 2 floor villas are attached to hotel parking so we had cars parking in front of our kitchen window which we preferred to keep open for ventilation instead of aircon (January is not a hot month in UAE). Fair to say we had no issues neither with other guests parking nor with a street noise. You need to mind though that laud praying starts in nearby mosques around 5.30 am - I was puzzled by the fact that bedroom had another door instead of a window which can be opened to get some fresh air. Of course UAE is a low crime area but still you won’t leave the door open especially at night. Having a small window with mosquito net in bedroom would be great - Aircon was rather noisy. We rarely had to switch it on though of course you would have no choice in hotter months - Threshold separating shower from the rest of the bathroom is not sufficient and most bathroom gets wet when you take a shower. Typical problem in many hotels which can be solved literally for $1-2 - Couple of times cleaning staff have ignored our room for the morning cleaning. Fair to say when I brought this issue to reception they came in 5 min to do the job - They have induction stove in room but no pot or pan to cook so we had to use microwave all the time - Although hotel is well placed right on a beautiful promenade there is no direct access to it from hotel grounds and you need to walk 5-7 min to get to waterfront - Local beach is about 10-15 min drive, but my kid was happy with the pool in Holiday International so we never tried shuttle service provided by the hotel. Winter sea in UAE is chilly anyway - Generally Sharjah is a less fancy and much more conservative compared to Dubai while hassle free visiting Dubai is by taxi (public transport links are quite weak) which is rather costly (though local taxis seem to be cheaper compared to Dubai). So, Sharjah is ok for family vacations but not for entertainment or shopping.

As always, great service friendly stagf and always helpful. Hotel is super clean i would come here again anyday anytime

It is always a fantastic experience with Almajaz premier .. staff, cleanliness, service.. special thanks to Mr Mohd Kamal who acted very professionally and nicely during my stay, special thanks to Rafik at the lobby and Junid at the reception and my thanks to ALL the Staff with no exception!! Al majaz premier is my first option to stay in Sharjah.. the location and services are very close, the apartment is equipped with all you need .. all is very good :-)

They don't have smart tv. Also the service is not much good. Don't have enough parking in building. My car got parked in another building

Staying in Sharjah, the overall feeling is like a Home Inn from 8 years ago. I can understand why, it's in the desert after all, so you can't compare it to places on land. If you don't have high expectations, you won't be disappointed.

The hotel is on the roadside, next to a gas station, and it's convenient to take a taxi. The hotel has a strong spice smell, which may be its specialty. Personally, I think the sanitation and other facilities are more in line with three-star standards. There are more people staying and the breakfast is richer. The girl who checked in was very enthusiastic and helped solve the problem in time. Shopping around is more convenient. Overall, the price-performance ratio is okay.

It was good according to the rates and the staff was also cooperative.

Good location, decent accommodation. Nearby shops and restaurants and just a stroll from the corniche.

The rooms appeared outdated and didn’t meet the standards of a 4-star hotel. The absence of a smart TV in a 4-star hotel is a significant drawback.

Разочарование ((( в ОАЭ не первый раз, крайний были в сентябре, но в Аджмане, тоже 4 звезды на первой линии, отель огонь 🔥! Этот отель взяли до вылета за 3 дня .Мы не привередливы в еде и обстановке от слова совсем, но тут реально проблема и с тем, и с тем 👎🏽, про персонал вообще молчу, грубые, резкие, с завтрака взяли три яйца, к нам как бешенный подлетел уборщик и начал орать на всю столовку(по другому не могу назвать данное место) : «Мадам, мадам, должны 100 дерхам быстро!!!» 🤣🤦🏼♀️ , чуть не убил за три яйца)))) воды питьевой нет на территории, ни на завтрак , ни на ужин, спросили, они ответили - платно!То что кладут в номер это 1 бутылка, а нас 3 человека… пляж в бычках , но отдать должное широкий, лежаков свободных полно, заход замечательный, есть рыбки, только за пляж поставила 2 звезды, НО будьте аккуратны, тут каждый день на ногах и кроксах прилипала толи нефть, толи мазут… не отмывается ((( бассейн как бассейн - норм, теплее чем вода в заливе. Номер был куплен в основном здании с балконом, дали ободранный шале , с первой уборкой забрали личные , специально сложенные отдельно упаковочные пакеты, берем всегда их, что б потом обувь сложить при вылете… первый раз такое))) боялись, что вынесут сумки))) убрали в шкаф))) тапок и халатов нет, полотенца все в дырах((( Про спортивный зал : женские и мужские часы , заявлен до 19:00 - выгнали (да именно выгнали в грубой форме) в 17:30! Вайфай ловит везде, еще звезда) есть магазин , рядом с отелем, цены как везде. До Дубай 20 минут на такси. Контингент, русские, спокойные пожилые и пары с детьми. Итог: сюда не вернемся, заявленные 4 звезды, вообще не соответствуют , уж тем более в эмиратах! В сезон отель стоит в два раза дороже, радует только, что взяли его реально дешево , 6 дней завтрак-ужин, на троих 88000₽, без перелета.
