Moevenpick Hotel Ibn Battuta Gate - Dubai - Dubai

Hotel is impeccable, and the staff are genuinely friendly without being sycophantic. The executive package is great value. Lobby restaurant was overpriced and nothing special, but evenings in the outside bar are pleasant and reasonable. SWIMMERS: There is a 30 meter pool, 8 lanes, low or no chlorine, slightly heated. Great place to do laps. The only […] disadvantage is that everything is a taxi ride away, but with the discounted room rates, the tradeoff was well worth it. Hard to find this kind of value in Dubai.

need to be in Jabal Ali? Instead of fighting traffic, stay at Ibn Battuta Gate hotel. Very 1st class place. Beautiful building, great spaces, attention to detail. Room was excellent. Service very attentive. Efficient valet parking. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet. And, this is the most beautiful swimming pool I've seen at a hotel! A dream for a lap  […] swimmer. Read more

We Stayed at Ibn Battuta for 6 nights. The rooms are too dark and there is only one window for natural light. Restaurants at Ibn Battuta are extremly expensive and quality of food was poor. Internet is not free in the room and staff did not help us for any of our inquiry. There are plently of resturants in IBN Battuta Mall and no one at hotel provided […] us information about restaurants eventhough we asked them several times. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was recommended to me from a co-worker, and I was very pleased and satisfied. The service was excellent, the Hotel itself was beautiful, it was clean, and the Staff was great.The only problem I had was the fact that it was further away from the Dubai Airport than what I would have liked. I didn't account for the traffic, or the time it would […] take to get to the airport, therefore I missed my flt. But of course this was through no fault of the Hotel....I just should have anticipated my timing a bit better. I do plan on going to Dubai for a weekend mini vacation, and this hotel is one that I will certainly consider, due to the inexpensive price and the hospitality and the beauty of the hotel. Read more

This hotel was so good really 5 star hotel but the problem was that the hotel is listed as a VIP hotel for Expedia and I did see the special treatment from the staff .Because I came early before the time for checking in and they should corporate with me because the Expedia site say that.

Excellent property, and next to mall I would highly recommend the hotel

Cordial reception staff but some still inexperienced although extremely helpful

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is very nice, but the location is a bit boring and out of the way. The hotel views is of a large power plant and there is not much to do around the area.

Very nice hotel . Only problem is it is really out of the way . Any tourist destination is at least 20 minutes away in a cab . Otherwise it is a very nice property .

I stayed for one night. Hotel was very elegant, clean and right across the street from a great shopping mall. Highly recommended!

Genuine Expedia guest review

I stayed four nights at this hotel and was happy with the cleanliness and comfort. The gym and pool are very nice but the spa was closed unfortunately and I was not made aware of this at the time of booking. The metro is a short walk away and the Ibn Battuta mall is right across the street, other than that there isn't much within walking distance. The […] staff was apparently overtaxed though as the hotel was very full, and the service from the front desk was poor. Checkout was the single worst experience at a hotel I have ever had. The reception told me apologetically that they were very busy, though they offered no consolation and I still paid the same 5 star price for very poor service. Read more

Beautiful hotel! High-end rooms for very reasonable rates! Right across the street from the mall of the same theme! (Just literally walk across the street and you're in an amazing Eastern explorer themed mall with Westernized shopping!) The hotel staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. However, there is one questionable feature of the […] rooms: a window separating the bathroom from the bedroom, which allows the toilet/shower/tub to be viewed from the bedroom. There is a sliding door to cover this window, but it only slides shut from the bedroom, not the bathroom. Seeing your roommate shower or bathe might be a positive for some, but for us it was disturbing, as our 12 year-old son roomed with us! (And he was more adamant about keeping the sliding door closed as we were!) Overall, this hotel is superb, and we'd stay there again. Read more

The hotel is brand new, just opened. Personnel are always very welcoming and willing to assist you. Rooms are clean, the hotel itself hosts several hotels, almost attached to the hotel there is the Battuta Shopping mall, which is very nice. The hotel is located in an area where there are other amenities/attractions, so you will need a taxi to rich any […] other place you want to visit, but it will take 10 minutes taxi and never more than 8 dollars.

A hotel with outstanding service and beautiful decor. The food was exceptional. Only crticism is of the pool area - not enough sun loungers

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel itself looks amazing, very nice and spacious rooms! Very comfy beds too. Location is pretty good as well - opposite of the hotel there is a shopping mall which we found to be very convenient. A bit far from the downtown and the Dubai Mall however taxis are reasonably priced so no problems. The only downside is customer service is quite slow, it […] took receptionist about 20-30 mins to check us in and the same with the check out! Read more

Fantastic hotel we would recommend - awesome foyer and lovely rooftop pool. Rooms are justifiably 5 star. Hotel is next to huge Battuta Gate shopping centre that is very good but not a high end designer label mall. Shuttle us to beach that we did not use. As with all Dubai next to the hotel is desert and a power station is the view from one side of […] the Hotel. All considered we would definitely stay again. Read more

One of my worst stays in Dubai hotels. In check-in they let me wait for two hours because the rooms aren't ready ( I reserved two rooms). every 10 mins I go to the Lebanese guy in the reception and ask him just to prepare one room to change my baby diaper (my baby crying for more than 1 hour and my mother on a wheel chair) and every time he said just […] 10 mins, just 15 mins. The bathrooms are very small and not comfortable. You can smell urine odor from shower sinkhole. Read more

Hotel staff on arrival excellent ,great rooms .Bookings for meals was inconsistent and staff didn't appear at times to know about offers,menus and availability of tables.All staff were very polite the food in the hotel was excellent great variety would definitely recommend.My one complaint was we spent most nights in the Morac bar and my teenage daughter […] who was not drinking alcohol was present every night,come New Years Eve a waiter who we had not seen all our stay and was probably their just for New Year's Eve we were refused service,it ruined our evening.I appreciate the sign which we saw later regarding over 21 rule however we spent a lot of money at the hotel including great spa treatments . We spent New Years Eve in our room which is a shame considering the facilities and grand surroundings.I would recommend the hotel to friends despite this.The concierge staff and drivers were all excellent and great value to arrive somewhere in style.

Overall quite satisfied , however: Poor location, if you want to go anywhere other than the mall opposite the hotel you have to get a taxi or use the metro (good value) Attempt by staff to upsell on check in gave appearance of them being on commission Requested non smoking room, given a smoking room Had to wait an hour after ordering food in the Chinese […] restaurant and still charged a service charge! The pool is far too small for the number of rooms and the beds get reserved early. The complimentary beach club is good but you can't come and go as you please, you have to book seats on the complimentary shuttle In conclusion there are better/more convenient places to stay in Dubai for similar money Read more

the hotel is well laid out and grand in everyway with a location across the road to the famous Ibn Battuta mall where you have all forms of food plus shopping. If there is one tiny concern I had was with regards to the swimming pool . Its on the 8th floor minus any grounds etc, and the pool temperature was a bit too warm to enjoy swimming BUT The hotel […] provides hourly shuttle service free of charge to a wonderfull Oceana Palm Jumeira with all the perks including an infinity pool and much more. The rooms had plenty of tea and coffee facilty so I bypassed the expensive breakfast and all was very cheap in the mall next door literally Read more

This hotel dose not represent the name of Moevenpick. Very much unorganized. Staff are very much relaxed serving without interest in work. Location is very far from activities. It does not worth money spent

We stayed in Ibn Batutta suite for 6 nights. Its a great suite with all facilities available. Service and staff are awesome, friendly, always happy and professional. Many restaurants available. We had a delay checking in for 2 hours despite we showed up at 8 pm but staff was very nice and we were given a special rate for the other 3 nights after I asked […] for a compensation. Private beach is very good and clean but not luxurious. We definitally enjoyed our stay and will consider checking in again in the future. Read more

My wife and I enjoyed our honeymoon at the Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel, and had the most wonderful stay. The rooftop pool was classy with great views of the skyline of Dubai Marina, and with a delicate poolside menu (try the papaya-mango beef salad, yummy!). We also enjoyed the free shuttlebus to the Palm, and the infinity pool at the Oceana Beach club, […] which had the most amazing close up view of the Dubai skyline! We enjoyed the luxury of an executive suite, which was worth every penny! We recommend to choose the executive option. since it included a very nice breakfast, afternoon tea and an evening snack buffet and cocktail in the executive lounge. The staff were warm and helpful and made us feel very welcome during our stay! Even though the hotel is situated on the outskirts of Dubai, most places can be easily reached by metro or taxi.

We had 2 nights in Dubai on a stopover and chose to stay at this hotel as it had a great special on, and the pool area looked amazing. It was a lovely hotel, but it's quite far out from Dubai central. There is a metro/raised rail stop nearby (a 5 min walk) which takes you right into town, but it takes AGES. To get to Dubai mall for example is a 40 min […] train ride. The train is slow, and stops at a lot of stations! There is a mall right across from the hotel which is nice. Lots of mid-range shops and a food court. We ate there and the prices were very reasonable for a food court experience. The room we had did not have a very nice view - perhaps because we purchased a sale price? The view was out to the adjacent aluminium smelter! I suggest you ask for a room on the other side of the hotel in your booking... The pool area was lovely, and prices for poolside food were fair and a great variety. It was a relaxing place to spend a layover, although next time we might stay closer to "town". We didn't really have time to make use of the free shuttle and entry into the ocean park place but had heard it was worthwhile. It was 45 degrees when we were there, so lounging at the beach didn't hold huge appeal. The pool area was shady and breezy (you're up on the roof) so we opted for that instead. Read more

This is the second time we stay in this hotel because the hotel is beautiful and the service is great, the only downside is that it's a bit far from everything except for the Ibn Battuta Mall (Which is beautiful BTW).

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is very nice and I had a great time there. I think the only thing to mention is that the concierge service is not good. They are not always polite and they hardly know local things. They have to look up everything on the Internet themselves. Which is weird. I think people should know popular places for example the main bar at the Burn Al Arab […] and the main beach places to go to for non-resident hotel guests if they are willing to pay. But all of this is not of their knowledge. and there are other examples which took us by surprise. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Lovely hotel, very clean and beautiful decor with spacious rooms. In general good service and a lovely outdoor bar (which closes too early with staff telling you they wish to go home or need to catch the last bus). Only real negative was that the front desk receptionists were slow, fairly useless and rude. Upon arrival we were not greeted by concierge […] and had to carry our luggage into the hotel. When we told the receptionist upon checking in he seemed unconcerned and let us carry our bags through to the lifts and to the room ourselves. We were also never told that the hotel had a second pool at a beach location on the Palm. This we had to find out ourselves which was a shame and we surely missed a few good opportunities to visit the beach. Upon check out we approached the receptionist and she kept her head down and typed into her computer, completely ignoring us. We waited at least 5 minutes waiting for her to look up and acknowledge us. She never did. Eventually another receptionist came over to serve us, she was efficient and polite. Hotel location is not very central but in Dubai you often need to get a taxi anywhere you go so I do not see this as a negative. In the main I would recommend this hotel. I would only suggest they get more friendly and efficient staff on the reception area. This is the first impression of where you are staying and needs to be strong. Read more

Lovely hotel with very polite staff. Great room, spa and pool. There were a few things lacking which would have turned the 4* experience into a 5* one; mainly speed of service on ordering food/ drinks by the pool, availability of simple items that were on the menu etc. A bar/ hospitality area close to the pool would have been a real asset. The shuttle […] bus to the beach club was a great added extra. Read more

Nice hotel, good service, fairly inconvenient location not far from Ibn Batuta metro station, very near the Southern end of the metro line, but very far from the centre of town — nearly an hour by metro. The big down side is the very high extortionate cost for Internet connectivity !!!! Breakfast is also very high cost. I just avoided it and went […] into the adjacent mall for a very reasonably priced meal in the food court. I can't see how, in this day and age, where most places you go have free Internet, they allow themselves to charge such an extortionate amount for Internet. DISGUSTING! Read more

We stayed for two nights and as it was our second visit to Dubai wanted to stay on that side of the city. The position was perfect for us and it was right next to the Ibn Batutta Gate Shopping Centre - the world's largest themed centre in the world. It was immense the shopping was great and convenient. The new shuttle service to the city is right there […] and only takes a few minutes. But most of all we enjoyed the ambience of the hotel and the history of Ibn Batutta was interesting. Not just another hotel in Dubai - very special. Thanks. Read more

Looks like a cheap version of the Atlantis. Out of the way but shopping mall on doorstep with metro / bus junction nearby. Lovely pool on the 9th floor. Shuttle service to the beach.

Stayed five nights at ibn battuta gate hotel in April. The staff are very accommodating, providing excellent service. The hotel has three great restaurants to try, really recommend the Indian restaurant. Recommend this hotel to everyone. You need short taxis to get to the major attractions but you do for most hotels in Dubai.

Really nice hotel with lovely rooms. The beds are so comfortable and the bathrooms are very luxurious.

It was our first time to Dubai, the the staff at the IBN Battuta Gate were fantastic, very helpful and courteous. Some small niggles that were to be expected but nothing major. We ate in 3 of the 4 hotel restaurants and found the food to be excellent, not cheap, but it is nice to have good food available on your doorstep. If you want a cheaper, quicker […] alternative you can cross the road to the mall where there are many fast food options. The private beach resort on the Palm was good and we made use of the free shuttle almost daily. If you like steak, the restaurant here (West 14th) is also very good. The 5 minute walk to the Metro is useful for travelling further afield, although most of the time we took cabs as they were so cheap. All in all a very enjoyable visit, my only disappointment was that they charge for wireless internet. £20 per day or £70 per week I feel is an unnecessary fee for a 5 star hotel. Would be very happy to stay again. Read more
