Al Bustan Hotel in the Emirate of Sharjah although it has the status of four stars and the corresponding standards, but due to the location is much cheaper than similar hotels in Dubai. In this post, we will tell you about the peculiarities of this establishment, find out what people are saying about it and whether it is worthwhile to spend their rest there or not.

A few words about the Emirates

If you are an experienced tourist, the nearby "abroad" will not surprise you. Turkey is cool like Sochi or the southern coast of the Crimea, Egypt was not only lazy ... So, it's time to expand the horizons! Emirates will surprise both people spoiled by travel, and those who were not behind the cordon never. This state, or rather the unification of independent emirates, was created no more than in the last century, but in a technical sense more perfect than states with centuries of history.

Going to visit the country of the sheikhs, all the wonders of the world and indescribable technological innovations, prepare yourself for everything will be different. Another culture, other customs, a different climate.

Location of the hotel

Al Bustan Hotel is located quite conveniently - you will not need anything, even if you do not want to travel far. Even if you decide to spend the whole rest at the hotel, you will not be bored by the Emirates, and you will return home, full of emotions and impressions. But lovers of visiting the sights will appreciate the advantages of the hotel.

Of course, rest in the Emirates initially does not belong to the budget option. However, you can cheat if you choose a hotel not in Dubai, but in the neighboring emirate of Sharjah. This emirate will not surprise you with amazing sights - so what? In no more than an hour you can reach the highest tower of Burj Khalifa, visit the most famous in the emirates of Dubai Mall, go to the park of Feari or visit the water park Wilde Wadi.

Knowledge of the language

If you do not know English, then you will not be lost, but still the language will come in handy. At the reception of this hotel, alas, there is no Russian-speaking staff, and there are many Russians in the Emirates, but not the fact that you will meet compatriots when you need.

If you rate your knowledge as "zero", learn the basic phrases before the trip. However, the language of gestures has not been canceled, the maids and waiters will understand you, and the language of money works faultlessly in the store.

What's in the rooms

A four-star hotel in Sharjah and a four-star hotel in Turkey, despite the seemingly identical standards, are still different. So, in the hotel room Al Bustan Hotel 4 * you will find everything you need for a comfortable life for a few days. Comfortable large or twin bed-twin, table, mirror, TV, safe, mini-bar, iron, ironing board, hair dryer.

The furniture is in good condition, new, the plumbing works properly.

When cleaning the maids will regularly deliver to the room makeup - shower gel, shampoo, liquid soap, change the towels regardless of the left tip. Bed linen is changed every third day, if you do not ask to do it more often or less often.

For some reason, guests resting in the hotel, all as one complain about a poorly working minibar - either makes noise or does not freeze. Do not hesitate to call the reception and ask for a replacement. It is possible that the hotel prefers not to spend money on new equipment, but hopes for the unpretentiousness of the guests. The TV shows not only Arab channels, there are also "First", TNT and STS, however, due to the time difference on your favorite programs, it will be difficult to get.

Vai-fay does not catch in all rooms. But it works irreproachably on the second floor and in the hotel lobby. You can contact your relatives, talk on Viber or Scype. In general, as for Wai-Fay, in the UAE, this is a certain difficulty for citizens. Due to the fact that there is only one service provider, the Internet is everywhere expensive, and free access points are far from everywhere.

Hotel Features

If you do not imagine life without sports, then what's nice, in Al Bustan Hotel 4 there is a small room with equipment. Not all simulators are in good order (again, apparently, the saving on equipment is affected), but dumbbells are in stock, and you will be able to maintain the form. On the roof of the hotel there is a shallow pool, sun beds and umbrellas. You can enjoy the sun baths without leaving the Al Bustan Beach Hotel.

What are they fed

Four stars allow to hope for gastronomic pleasure, but we can not say that the restaurant Al Bustan Hotel assumes a huge variety of dishes. The fact is that despite the seeming comfort of life in the Emirates, the state is an oasis in the sea of sand. Growing fruits and vegetables, keeping farms - is a huge effort and financial costs. So, for breakfast, expect an omelette, boiled eggs, cereals from the usual cereals, cereal with milk, juices.

Beach

Across the street from Al Bustan Hotel there is a free beach, where you can sunbathe and swim. However, the sea here seems more dirty than on the beach from the hotel. To him you will take a shuttle bus. Do not worry, if you do not have enough space, in any case, another one will come. Just ask the driver what time he will come back for you, otherwise you will have to travel by public transport.
