Movenpick Bur Dubai is an average hotel in the prime location. Close to most shopping centres ( Lamcy Plaza is really in walking distance), the hotel is well situated.
We had booked 3 rooms, all with interconnecting doors. We got two, and the third was not connected. To add to this the third room had twin beds, while we had requested a double bed. We took the matter to the front desk who then promptly upgraded the third room to the 4th floor (executive floor). Menawhile, all the baggage was sent down to the otehr tow rooms, and it took the concierge desk one and a half hours to send the bags up to the fourth floor.
Rooms are nice and clean, and the housekeeping is very responsive.
The concierge desk, however, is LOUSY, and I was looking for telephone numbers of restautrants, it was easier to call 181 and find te number yourself than go through the lousy concierge. In fact, I noted the concierge staff would keep arguing wiht front desk staff and refuse to follow instructions.
Restuarants are average, we were on bed and breakfast and the breakfast was usually cold.
Ate once at the Italian, avegare at best.
Had dinner once at Somerset's ( the pub) food was good, service was good. It is a bit of a dull pub, not much going on, except for a lot of arabs sneaking in to drink alcohol!
Jimmy Dix next door was fun, it was freezing cold and drinks were well priced. However, there is a cover charge on most nights and it seems the hotel does not have any say.
The rooftop pool was average, I have seen larger pools in homes. At night, the lighting there is average to poor.
All in all, a good hotel, but not much in the form of restaurants or pubs, and watch out for the USELESS concierge desk.
