As far as I've noticed, this hotel is aimed mainly at large groups who travel across China. So, from that point of view, it's a typical city business hotel with a good location, spacious rooms and lots of facilities but with a lack of attention to a single guest. All they do is check-in and check-out - one groups comes,... more

Stayed in 2006: very good at that time, even better now. On Sep 2009 we stayed at Gloria four nights. The location is convenient, few minutes walk to the underground station. In fact we reached the hotel from the airport by underground. Very good staff at the desk, english speaking. We choose a deluxe room: it was very large, always... more

We stayed here as part of a Jules Verne tour of China.Compared to the other hotels we stayed in this one was disappointing. Rooms ok but they didn't provide enough toilet paper or replace used shampoos. There was internet access in the bedrooms but it was very expensive. Carpets etc slighty stained . Wardrobe area small and only a couple... more

We stayed here for 3 nights following a cruise and the hotel was a pleasant surprise. Our room was large and well appointed, clearly refurbished recently. The location is quite convenient, close to an underground station and within an easy walk of shops and restaurants. The worst thing was probably the restaurant which was quite basic and I would suggest... more

The lobby and public areas look nice, however the room furniture was a bit old. Breakfast buffet is good, but I would prefer more variety. The concierge staff very nice and helpful with very good level of English. Overall good... more

In our review last year we expressed satisfaction with this hotel with our only reservation being that although clean, the hotel rooms were a little "tired" and could do with some TLC. I am pleased to report that on our return to the hotel again this year for a four day stay following a cruise across from Vancouver we were... more

Nothing to report. Good location. Could use some remodelling but it perfectly suited our needs. more

We stayed at the Gloria Plaza at the start of a three week tour of China with VJV. It is a large comfotable hotel which well justifies its four stars. The rooms are large, light and airy and the bathrooms are of similar standard. The breakfasts are excellent. We did not try the other meals. Location is central and very... more

My wife and I stayed at the Gloria Plaza for nine nights during our recent trip to Beijing (April 2008). The hotel is well situated, near the Embassy area, shopping, Forbidden City, etc...We found it clean and the staff very friendly. The food in the resurant was fair, room amenities nice, and overall service quite good. The staff will, no... more
