Back in the 1980's all large scale hotels in the Gulf were built to a formula and the Movenpick is no exception. Huge atrium with feature coffee lounge - tick. Multiple restaurants and bars (one usually an English or Irish pub) - tick. Pool, wellness etc. all included. This 40-year old staple of Dubai is well situated if, like me, you are traveling alone and want the facilities of the Dubai village next door (female friendly, multiple restaurant choices, fine to go there alone to eat). Walking to Dubai airport T1 is surprisingly simple as well. The hotel feels a little dated (despite an apparent 2024 refresh) but it's friendly, comfortable and reliable. I'll certainly stay again when seeking a property in this price bracket.
