I have stayed in Movenpick for 4 nights and 5 days as my first business trip in the Middle East (Room number was 1612). Briefly speaking, the hotel was a good choice for business trip with the following reasons.
1. Location: quiet and easy to get a taxi or Uber
2. Accommodation: large room and shower booth,
3. Breakfast: not many choices but, enough to enjoy the breakfast with highly satisfied service by the servant at buffet. I strongly recommend to purchase the meal plans at the hotel in Dubai, not easy to search the restaurants for breakfast.
4. COVID-19 protection: Two Thumbs Up! they know how to prevent Corona in the public places. At least there is no possibility for guests to be infected. It was a complete protection from the lobby, not to mention of the restaurant on the first floor.
Conclusion: I believe that this hotel is optimized for business trip and it has the good location for the access to Dubai Mall. However, it takes 10 minutes for me to walk to Dubai Mall. Honestly, there is no problem to walk to the mall for me, but it might not be easy for families having kids or children to walk to the mall on foot because of the strong sun light.
Thanks to all staffs at Movenpick for their professional service and their passion for where they work!
