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

A friend and I booked a quick one-day tour through the Everbright travel agency in Beijing, and the thing that stood out about the Tianyu Gloria Plaza was the mattresses: They weren't the hard ones associated with other hotels in China! A very comfortable sleep in room 2011 (two double beds). Service was efficient and friendly, though the one thing... more

We stayed at the Tianyu Gloria Plaza Hotel for 3 Nights in December after booking it online. The reception were very helpful and spoke English fairly well, we had no problems communicating. Our room was large in size, although the decor was a little dated but still very comfortable. The gym was well equipt, and the cleanest hotel pool which... more

This is a new and very comfortable hotel, good value for money and easily accessed. Front desk staff are very helpful and it caters efficiently for many of the big tour parties coming into Xian. Breakfast is Western and Chinese buffet. Rooms are generous, clean and well appointed. Beds are comfortable. However, it is not really within walking distance to... more

We stayed here for a couple of nights and I was very pleasantly surprised. This hotel was very close to 5 star. Our rooms were large, newly decorated, clean and comfortable. There are some renovations going on so maybe all the rooms are not of this quality. There is a nice pool which I made use of, but you need... more
