Arriving on April 28th 2009, we dont have any major complaints about the hotel. The staff spoke understandable English, the room was comfortable, especially considering the rate we paid for it, it was a bargain. Except for the aircon which was slightly faulty (spoilt fan speed control), everyting else was fine. Lobby was nice and cozy. Restaurants for breakfast especially... more

While this hotel has all the requisites to make it a "four-star" hotel by the Chinese rating system (bathrobes, in-room safe, mini-bar, etc.) it has definitely seen better days. Overall, it was a reasonably comfortable place to stay. That said, however, it wasn't luxurious or outstanding. The rooms are somewhat worn. For example, the tiles in the bathroom had dirty... more

We spent 2 nights here. The room was very spacious.The room and the rest of the hotel was very clean.The staff spoke very good english.We had a lovely buffet dinner in the restaurant and then relaxed in the hotel bar which was very luxurious with a pool table and lots of different seating areas.The cocktails we had were cheap and... more

We stayed at the Gloria as part of tour. Our two night stay was uncomfortable. Xian is very hot and the air conditioner in our room did not work well. Engineering tried to repair the unit but could not. Other discomforts include putrid public restrooms in the lobby and a dirty, and thus, unappetizing dining room. The Gloria was by... more

Despite asking for a non-smoking room we received a room that smelt of smoke a lot. Despite airing the room the smell kept returning. I was convinced that the smell was coming from the air conditioning and so I faced a choice of boil in the heat, or reek of smoke! more

We did two nights here. Good location, just outside the city wall, big shopping arcade across the street. High rise hotel with some pretty nice views of the city. There was one day when the smog was thin enough that you could see the mountains, which is pretty cool for Xi’an. Rooms were large, reasonably well appointed. Everything worked and... more

We had a one night stay at the gloria plaza as part of tour of eastern and central china. We were in xian for the same reason as everybody else - to see the terracotta warriors. The hotel itself was probably the best hotel we stayed in during our stay - although the others weren't fantastic! The room was clean... more

We selected the hotel because of Trip Advisor reviews but alas the hotel was undergoing major renovations so that all of the amenities like pool, bar or restaurants (except for overpriced buffet ) were unavailable. No price break, in fact the Olympics inflation was in effect without the amenities it was supposed to cover. We felt vaguely cheated by a... more

This was a nice hotel it seems quite new, located outside the city walls, but a short walk or taxi ride. The staff were helpful and the room was clean and comfortable ( we had a great view of the old city) We were given a complementary breakfast which was a nice touch and quite good. Overall this hotel was... more
