We stayed five nights @ Gloria hotel. :) The location of the hotel is ok, it's next to the metro station so that's good. Two stops to Mall of the Emirates. But by walking I think there isn't much to do in that area.
The hotel is HUGE and beautiful. Our room was in 32nd floor and the view was fabulous.
The hotel had some shops inside and the mini market was super as we good buy some basic little things that we were missing. :)
The pool area was quite nice but little dissapointing because for most of the day the pools were in the shades. :( And also, a child wasn't aloud in the jacuzzi which I thought was very strange.
Then the negative things. We were supposed to have a microwave and all other kitchen things there, but there was nothing, except for two glasses and coffee cups. It didn't really bother us but I think that was quite a big mistake that they were missing from the room.. How is it even possible, that the microwave wasn't there?
Also, we ordered breakast from room service and that was VERY difficult too. They had this paper where you made your selections. Then this person brings the food to the room and there is simple things missing, such as juice. So he went to get the missing parts and came back and still there wasn't everything.
By third time finally we got everything and then as a compensation we got two extra things. :)
But overall I think the hotel was still good. :) Rooms were very big and comfortable. Bed was nice.
