Honestly, the experience was quite disappointing from the moment we checked in. When we reached our room, there were no towels, no drinking water, and no slippers. We called reception and were told to wait. We waited for almost two hours, but no one came. We had to call a second time before our requests were finally attended to. For a hotel, this level of service was far from what we expected. The food was also disappointing, and the service overall lacked warmth and attentiveness. Thankfully, the reception staff were approachable and accommodating, especially the Omani staff, who were the most pleasant part of our experience. The pool itself was okay, but the changing room had an unpleasant smell and, once again, there was no staff available to assist. Even getting towels required another phone call. A hotel stay should feel convenient and relaxing not like you have to repeatedly call just to receive basic necessities. There is definitely room for improvement, especially when it comes to housekeeping, responsiveness, and overall guest service.

Extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. I was given a connecting room with absolutely zero soundproofing. The connecting door passed every single noise from the neighboring room, making it feel like we were sharing the exact same space. The management showed a lack of immediate action and care for guest comfort. A hotel that cannot provide a basic, quiet environment for its guests to sleep is not worth a single star. I will absolutely never stay here again, and I strongly advise others—especially those seeking rest or traveling with family—to avoid booking this place.
Carnelian by Glory Bower Airport Hotel Muscat is the kind of hotel that many travelers quietly appreciate after a long flight or exhausting travel day. It may not position itself as an ultra-luxury destination resort, but what it offers is something equally valuable — comfort, convenience, and a calm atmosphere close to Muscat International Airport. One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its strategic airport location in Muscat, making it ideal for transit passengers, business travelers, short stays, or visitors arriving late into Oman. The drive to Muscat International Airport is quick and practical, which removes a lot of travel stress, especially during early departures or overnight arrivals. The hotel itself feels modern, clean, and straightforward. Rooms are generally spacious enough for a comfortable stay, with good bedding, decent lighting, and essential amenities that work well for both business and leisure travelers. After a long journey, the peaceful indoor atmosphere and warm lighting create a surprisingly relaxing feeling. What stood out emotionally was the sense of simplicity and ease. Sometimes travelers do not need excessive luxury — they simply want a clean room, smooth check-in experience, reliable service, and a quiet night of rest before continuing their journey across Muscat or Oman. Visitors should know: • Excellent choice for airport transit stays in Muscat. • Convenient for business travelers and short overnight visits. • Nearby access to main roads connecting to Al Mouj, Muscat Hills, and central Muscat. • Best suited for practicality and comfort rather than resort-style luxury experiences. • Depending on peak travel periods, airport-area traffic can occasionally become busy. Overall, Carnelian by Glory Bower Airport Hotel Muscat offers dependable comfort in a highly practical location. For travelers looking for a reliable Muscat airport hotel with easy access, modern rooms, and a calm atmosphere after a tiring journey, it delivers solid value and convenience.
I had a wonderful stay from April 1 to 2. It was truly an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help, which made the stay even more enjoyable. A special thanks to the manager, Angkosh, for ensuring everything was well taken care of. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, especially the bed, which made it easy to relax and rest. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and comfortable stay.
A very clean and nice hotel in heart of the city. Best part you can reach to airport within 7-8 minutes from this hotel. Rooms are very nice and clean. Bed sheets are very nice. Washrooms are very clean Very nice breakfast and other meals as well. Lots of parking available. Excellent service
