Not "the" Movenpick you would expect.
First and most importantly, this hotel is located in Al Shuwaikh industrial area near the sea port so don't expect services, restaurants or entertainment here, you need a car to move around and it's quiet a distance to the nearest live area as the traffic is sometimes very hectic. Although rated 5* the hotel is not even close to 4* as it's very old and designed to look very historic and classic old. The hotel atmosphere is very pleasant with good staff, however, it lacks focus in cleanliness as the hotel is old and needs more attention to details. The poolside rooms are very spacious and very welcoming but the furniture is not so luxurious and it looks of a local made. All in all it was a pleasant stay and I thank the management for doing their best to satisfy the hotel residents.
