I stayed at Novotel Muscat Airport for a one-night stopover. The location was quite convenient for the airport, and the hotel itself felt pleasant and spacious. However, the service and dining experiences were fairly disappointing, especially the cold breakfast and lack of attention from the staff. While the rooms were clean and well-decorated, they lacked essential amenities. Overall, I wouldn't rush back for a longer stay.
