The Act Hotel Sharjah

Hot water in the shower took a long time to come out

There was a inconvenience during check in as the receptionist told us that they couldn’t find our booking. Then I made a call to trip.com. It took 30 minutes to get this matter resolved.

Рекомендую данный отель! Очень чисто, уютно. Не было замечаний. Шикарный шведский стол на завтрак. Хорошее расположение. Соответствует своему уровню!!!

Отличный отель!!! Хорошо всё. Обслуживание,номер, персонал. Единственное нет рядом пляжа, для тех кто хочет, вышел и на море, не подходит. Но если планируете взять машину, то это не проблема. Мы брали, утром просыпались, если хотели на море брали плавки, в машину, 5 минут и ты на пляже.

I've been to Dubai in a few hotels before and this is definitely not a 5* hotel and not a hotel for vacation, just maybe for a quick business trip. Breakfasts and dinners’ sets are quite limited and it's mostly Arabic cuisine. It was difficult for me to feed my kid. We lived in a standard room and there was a wall of neighbor building almost directly in front of it. The room is always in darkness. The windows, of course cannot be opened and because of this there is always a very specific smell of dampness. I even decided to keep my things in the suitcase/do not unpack it. We tried to change the room several times, but reception guys didn’t help us. It was difficult to adjust the desired temperature of the water in a shower: you need to wait “hot/cold” for quite a long time. The aircon is noisy and works with just one speed and temperature. Thus I would rate our room as 2-3*. Shuttle to the beach is at 9 am and once a day. It's chilly enough at 9am in January, so we couldn’t use it. The hotel's feature is the rooftop pool. But the water in it is cold. So, again couldn’t use it :(

When we checked in, no one assisted us to our room. The online photos showed a different view than what we actually got. The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was very soft. The rooftop swimming pool offered a great view, though the glass was blurry. Breakfast was okay, but the selection of bakery items was quite limited. When checking out, a team member kept pressuring me to write a review on the spot and even looked at my phone as I typed, which felt intrusive.
