Cheap Hotels in Sharjah

"This transit hotel is incredibly busy, with guests checking in at all hours. It's conveniently located close to Sharjah Airport, about a 15-minute drive away. The bedding was excellent, comparable to a 4-star hotel, and the property itself is quite large. I initially thought it would be small, but it actually has two low-rise buildings with a garden and pool in between. The hotel also feels very new. The staff provided excellent service and were very helpful, assisting with luggage to the rooms. It truly felt like 4-star service. On the downside: the soundproofing is virtually non-existent. You can hear conversations from the next room. I had the misfortune of having neighbors singing and chatting loudly until 3 AM, which was unbearable. There are plenty of dining options nearby, and a supermarket just across the street. There's some construction happening nearby, so be mindful when choosing your room's orientation; typically, king rooms are a good choice. My booking stated a 2 PM checkout, but I was told it was 12 PM. After some negotiation, they extended it to past 1 PM, which was a bit confusing."

"There were a lot of guests during the holiday, so check-in took a long time. The room has been renovated, and the sea is beautiful. It would be perfect if there were no restrictions on the opening hours of the beach and pool. I hope there will be more activities on the beach."

"An excellent stay at DoubleTree by Hilton Sharjah. I highly recommend this family-friendly hotel. It has an excellent location, close to all amenities, and a quick and smooth check-in/check-out process. All the staff were friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a varied breakfast and all services available. The view of the Sharjah waterfront was also wonderful. A beautiful and comfortable stay, and I will definitely return in the future."

"The hotel is about a 30-minute drive from Dubai Airport, but it's actually in the Emirate of Sharjah, about 10 kilometers from the airport. While not far, traffic can be heavy in the mornings and evenings. It seems to have been a Ramada hotel previously. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, but the decor is a bit dated as the hotel has been around for some years. Breakfast is quite varied. Overall, if booked in advance, it offers good value for money."

"The front desk staff were incredibly warm and friendly. Every day I needed toiletries and room service, and they handled everything perfectly. They even folded my clothes after tidying my room and recommended local restaurants. On my check-out day, they kindly arranged a complimentary taxi to the airport. The amenities were excellent, with a safe, microwave, and iron all provided, plus there's a swimming pool. The location is superb, very close to the convention center. The hotel breakfast was also fantastic; the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Besides the buffet options, they also offered complimentary fried eggs. It was a very satisfying stay overall. The only very minor flaw was that the carpet was a bit dirty."

"Clean and quiet hotel with excellent service. The reception staff are helpful and cheerful. I received a room upgrade. Breakfast is included. The seating areas are comfortable, and the rooms are very clean and fully equipped. Some rooms overlook the lake. I highly recommend it; this is my second time here."

"the service is very good and very helpful. they have restaurant too and its not that expensive, also the food is delicious. we stayed 2 nights and they offered a cleaning service at the second day. the location is near by the road so its a little bit noisy, but it was near by the hypermarket too. overall, it was a very recommended hotel. thanks"

"The bedding wasn't quite pristine, looking a bit worn. Everything else seemed fine, but on the last day, we spotted a large cockroach in the bathroom. Also, the area outside the window could use a good cleanup; there was trash and cigarette butts."

"Great location and service, staff is very friendly, room was clean but I would like to recommend to add toothpaste and toothbrush to make the amenities more complete"

"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."
