The rooms have been renovated and are now excellent in terms of appearance and cleanliness.
However, the bed itself has not been renewed, although it was still comfortable.
We requested an extra blanket or an extra bed, but there was a delay of more than 3 hours, and unfortunately it was not available.
The location is excellent and very close to everything.

The hotel is inconveniently located if you are planning to visit Dubai...the hotel is undergoing renovations and the management was rude and did not entertain any changes in the reservations to shorten the stay. I would not recommend this hotel and there are better options available in Dubai.

Rundown property. Don’t get fooled by low prices. Super noisy place, construction everywhere. Dusty place. Doesn’t even have proper road to get there. It’s very far from Dubai main places. Once we got stuck in traffic’s for 1 and half hour driving back from Dubai Mall. This place is Not for tourists.

Staff forgets to clean the room, or bring the things we ask for, like the ironing board
The call for prayers is very loud and long at 5AM.

Beds doesn’t match the description on website

The hotel staff is very helpful and courteous.
There was problem checking in because of my booking did was not sent by hotels.com to the hotel so my family had to wait for over an hour for check-in in the lobby.
The second big problem is they do not have King size bed in master bedroom, it’s queen size instead and the other bed room has 2 single bed’s instead of double beds as they advertised and I paid for. This was disappointing and uncomforting.

first off, I will say the staff has been great. They were all polite and quick to respond. I stayed here almost a month. The bed was comfortable and the room was dark when the curtains were closed.
As far a cleanliness goes, the furniture wasn't in the best condition. They could use a material on the dining room chairs that doesn't stain. The stove/oven was a pain in the butt. It was hard to keep the elements lit on the stove and in the oven (i don't think the equipment is very well maintained). It was impossible to bake anything in the oven as it didn't have temperature readings on the dial. It was gas so it was either on, or off...And hot water is an issue apparently. Certain times of the day, it was a cold shower. The gym was pretty decent.
All that being said, I would stay here again. They could just do a bit more to maintain the equipment. The Engineer of the building was doing his best to accommodate us, but it's hard to deal with some things. The staff made it worthwhile.

Ok value for money for a short business trip. Some improvements needed. The area doesn't have many asphalted roads so area is very dusty and looks dirty. AC was a bit noise. The first 2 days they didnt come and clean the apartment then I realized you had to put a note in the door and no one had told me. The access is a bit confusing. There were mosquito in the room. The gym and sauna should start working earlier from 6 am at least so you can use before going to work.

They serve excellent breakfast which was a great help when on vacation with kids and family . The staff members are very cooperating and very friendly .
Our location was facing the beach which makes an excellent view from the bedroom.
It was a great experience and would love to come a stay with them again

I liked the hotel so much that I changed my stay from two days to six. I liked the hotel not only because it was clean and comfortable but it was close to everything: the beach and restaurants were walking distance, and the shopping malls were very short distance.

Above average hotel

I stayed there for more than one month, the location is central, 10 minutes to Dubai, 10 minutes to Sharjah downtown, 5 minutes walking to the beach, free parking. The one bedroom flat is above average needs some enhancements, the kitchen is fully equipped but u can use only one because of the sole electric source. Housekeeping is the real problem as they always miss something each time (Shampoo, towels, tea , botteled water,vacuuming the carpet .....etc) . Overall nice hotel with excellent location but u will need a car for transportation.

Far out

We were visiting friends in Sharjah and when we found this hotel the pictures were lovely there were views of the beach and the area looked very appealing, however when we arrived at the hotel it was not a true reflection of the photos advertising this hotel. It was in the middle of what can only be described as a construction site. There were much taller buildings surrounding it making it feel very dark and dingy, the sea views could not be seen due to the buildings, there's is no shops or amnenities nearby and the traffic is very bad which means expensive taxi journeys to get about.
The hotel/apartment is very clean and well presented and the staff were very helpful but overall if we returned to Sharjah we wouldn't stay here based on location I feel the photos of the hotel do not reflect the surroundings and you are led to believe the hotel is within walking distance of the beach this is not true yes you can see the sea if you walk to the main road but again it's fenced off and you couldn't get to the beach.
If you have transport and are familiar to this area then it would be a clean and comfortable place to stay if you want to sight see and explore Dubai and surrounding areas you may need to find a more centrally located place to stay.

Very nice, needs some renovating.

Went to Dubai for a week as a vacation. Decided to get an apartment and booked at TIME Ruby. What I like about it is that it is very accessible and close to the beach (5 minutes walking). Staff were amazing. Never seen staff like them. My only complaint is the washroom. It isn't very clean and you have to turn on the hot water, which takes a bit of time to come. Also the breakfast wasn't that good. I think it could be improved. But overall, it is a very good hotel.

Pretty Disappointed!!!

After staying here years ago, this time I wasn't happy at all. To start, we checked in after 9:30 pm and while waiting at the reception they had to re check if the room was ready. The fridge was absolutely dirty. The bedroom TV was not working, apparently there was a problem with the socket. They had just a few English channels and those were not even clear. When we asked them to check it on the first night, the excuse was that it was blowing outside. The next day being a Friday, there was only work going on in the apartment. first to clean the fridge, second to get the TV working in the bedroom and third to get the channels working in the living room, which was still not working properly. All in all....I'm not so sure if I would go back here. Ohhh....and not to mention the small flies all over the apartment.

Family stay at TIME Ruby.l

The apartment was spacious, the receptionist was fast, kind, and professional. There was no pool as described. Location was good but new building is blocking the beach view from my apartment side. Other apartments on the other corner should be fine. Hotel was a bit old, wallpapers, carpets, tiles, furniture should be replaced. However, beds were very comfortable and very clean.

Lovely chilled break at Time Ruby Hotel apartments

I had a wonderful 6 night stay at Time Ruby hotel apartments. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and had a fresh smell. The downside was a problematic air-conditioning system which caused a flood in the bathroom, but the staff came to assist and clean it up. The kitchen only had one electricity outlet which meant that you had to change the plugs at the wall all the time if you wanted to use the toaster, kettle and microwave oven. Overall it was a good stay with free WiFi and parking.

Noisy at night. I do mean noisy.

There's one problem which unfortunately means I won't book again: trucks delivering or taking away water/ sewage at night. At 11pm one truck was outside running a pump for 40 minutes, at 4am another did the same for half an hour.

I measured the noise level at the bed (all windows and doors closed): 70 dB. That's the same as loud conversation, right there at your pillow. I asked to be moved room away from the first floor but yet another truck arrived the next night and though I didn't measure the noise this time, it was loud enough to be annoying.

The hotel said it was for the building next door which doesn't have enough drainage. Whatever the reason, they said it happens every night.

Laundry - they don't do this service, at least not when I was there.
