We have had the most amazing time at Movenpick Hotel. From the delicious breakfast buffet to the clean, spacious room with comfortable bed and pillows - the hotel is excellent.
We especially enjoyed an incredible evening at The View Restaurant which was spectacular. Jerome, our waiter was knowledgeable and so friendly.
Overall, we really loved and appreciated how kind all the staff are. They truly go above and beyond for their guests.
A special thank you to Hillary at Concierge, Winnie at the breakfast buffet, Freda at Guest Services, and the security team - who showed so much kindness. We really appreciate you all.
We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back!
