What guests think

Novotel Sharjah Expo Centre suits visitors to the Expo area, with many praising its convenient location near the venue, while several note it is far from Dubai’s main sights and metro links, often resulting in longer, pricier taxi journeys.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, though a few guests reported rude or unaccommodating interactions and inconsistent recognition of loyalty benefits. Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, but recurring comments mention smoke or musty odors, occasional maintenance issues, and some uncomfortable extra beds or mattresses. Parking is generally convenient, the pool is small, and alcohol service or a bar is not available; breakfast is commonly praised, whereas dinner and room service receive mixed feedback with limited options. Expect a comfortable base for Expo events with variable service polish and dining.

The hotel is western and high standard but it is far from the city center and all the main sights especially when you consider the traffic. It took us more than 1 hour with taxi. Most of the time traffic does not move and there are no alternatives seen as the hotel is far from bus and metro. Next time I will chose a hotel situated between DXB and the Dubai mall. The staff was very friendly and everything was as it should be. The pool was very little however you can walk to the beach in 5 min. if you want to swim.

Stayed at Novotel for race weekend with my sister, who was participating in one of the events. The parking situation was a bit confusing at first, but the staff were super friendly and helped us get checked in quickly. We stayed in a suite—it was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The only downside was that the hallway leading to the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, which was a shame. Other than that, everything was perfectly fine and the location was great for event access!

Für Meetings und Business perfekt nah am Airport Parkmöglichkeiten super. Für einen Urlaub nicht zu empfehlen und schon gar nicht zur Ramada Zeit sehr wenig auf unsauber. Hotel selber hat zum Glück einen kleinen Pool wenn der nicht wäre würde man hier eingehen wie eine Primel. keine Möglichkeit, gemütlich zu sitzen außer am Pool der gegen 21:00 Uhr schließt nicht für Familien Urlaub zu empfehlen. Was sehr unangenehm ist, ist auch, dass man sofort seine Speisen und Getränke auch ein Restaurant Besuch sofort bezahlen muss und nicht aufs Zimmer schreiben kann. heißt, ich muss meine Karte immer dabei haben.

Beissender schimmeliger Geruch im Zimmer, nach Reklamation und Diskussion hat sich ein Zimmer gefunden obwohl das Hotel anscheinend ausgebucht war. Der Rezeptionist wollte sich keine Arbeit machen. Gut neues Zimmer diesmal kein Geruch, dafür weisse Würmer an der Badezimmertür. Würmer erledigt, morgens waren sie wieder da. Keine Kraft gehabt um 2 Uhr nachts mit dem Rezeptionisten wieder zu diskutieren. Frühstück hatte sehr wenig Auswahl und die Qualität war sehr schlecht. Wer auf Schimmelgeruch, Würmer und schlechtes Frühstück steht ist im Novotel genau richtig.

The staff were friendly, which was the only positive part of my stay. The sofabed, however, was dreadful — every tiny movement made loud squeaking noises, making it impossible to get a proper night’s sleep. I hadn’t planned to book breakfast, but the front desk staff convinced me, saying it was a “really good continental breakfast.” I paid upfront for the whole stay — and instantly regretted it. The breakfast was shockingly bad, to the point that after trying it on the first morning, I didn’t go back for the rest of my stay. Overall, I left extremely disappointed. Friendly staff aside, I won’t be staying here again or recommending it to anyone.

If I could leave zero stars I would, I was attending the conference as a speaker at the expo so I booked this hotel because of it’s distance to the expo. I booked the executive suite, highest room category, obviously comfort is important to me, on the day of my event I woke up with horrible back pain from the mattress, hotel did nothing to alleviate the situation and offered to turn the matteess upside down, I checked out early and booked another hotel. Usually I never leave negative reviews because user expectations are different and these reviews could hurt a business but the way management dealt with me as “you’ve already paid for your entire stay not our problem anymore” had to put this review, perhaps higher management will take action and protect there business then to let incompetent people run it.

The hotel was elegant, quiet and the room service was good and it was done perfectly on daily basis but my room was felt humid all of the time especially the carpet was always felt wet, my clothes also felt wet all of the time. I talked to receptionist about this inconvenience matter with humidity and he offered me to change my room to sunny side but I preferred to stay until my check out because I was lazy to collect my stuff, move them to the other room and wast my priceless time in uae. I also had feeling that the other room might be the same with humidity issue.

I loved the experience. The room was very big with a sofa in it, super comfortable bed. But the best part is about the people working there. Everyone is very welcoming. Mary that served me at the restaurant is an awesome heart. The people working during the night shift delighted me delivering extra water (I asked for one bottle and they got me two), coffee 24 hours served by a very gentle guy that came all the way to my room just to give me the receipt that I forgot. A lot of cure for small details that makes you feel very cared for. Ladies at reception with great smiles and so kind!

Overall okay. Staff rather helpful. Except one lady ((Maya): I asked from the room service downstairs for a tiny cup of milk to have a few drops in my tea in my room. The men serving there were helpful and gave me what I requested. But she refused and wanted to have me pay for the drops of milk. I understand the staff have instructions. But honestly this attitude of hers is shocking in a Four Stars Hotel, pretty mean. It does not reflects well on the hotel. Apart from that the staff were helpful (men and women). In the dining room: Jay and Abdullah, very nice and happy to serve.

Why I have not rated 5 starts as few staff at the hotel lack of support and customer service skills was not to a satisfactory standard at the front reception desk. However the hotel manager Magde was exceptional as he attentively listened to all my concerns and provided prompt solutions to all my issues. On arrival our meet and greet to the hotel after a very long flight was appalling by the reception staff who wasn't pleased to see us or welcome us for check in since she stated they are fully booked and we have arrived too early. This was not a great welcome or a good start to our family holiday. Overall majority of staff are brilliant only few do ruin this for the hotel as they have very poor customer service skills when dealing with guests like myself on a face to face basis. The housekeeping staff were brilliant who provided anything we required at any time especially think her name was Poonam?
