As Usual when I am in Dubai it is for work, it is very close to several shopping areas and near to work. Not the easiest place to find as there are 3 places in Sharjah called Royal Grand. The rooms are quite big and spacious, the hotel staff friendly, the rates are very good for the room you get. For the business traveller working in Sharjah I highly recommend. In fact it was nice it was not full of tourists, peaceful relaxing especially after long working days I could actually unwind. Down sides: Only 2 power outlets in my room and only one worked, one in the kitchen and 2 in the lounge. 20AED power strip sorted that out. The wifi only worked in the lounge dropped off completely in the bedroom. aside from that I would be very happy to stay again. If you are going to be working in Sharjah for an extended period this would be a very comfy place to stay and even have clients over.
