6/10 Good

The hotel staff are great, there are a couple of reasons for marking this hotel down. If you ask the staff for something and they haven’t got it they will not try and get it for you they just leave it. Ie:- asked for 2 beach towels they only had one and had no answers as to getting another. Also the breakfast, yes it is ok, eggs, bacon etc every day plus fresh fruit which is lovely but they need to change it up a little and add some cheese, ham etc. Other than that the lift wasn’t working and had to go 3 flights of stairs every time we went to our room, but the staff will try and help and the hotel is situated near the beach and lots of restaurants so the location is good. I have given it a 3 but if I could have have would have been more a 3 1/2.

Great Hotel. Close to beach
Close to beach. Hotel staff very accommodating. Easy check in. Room service was good. Had Superior room, with air conditioning, ceiling fan, mini fridge, very large washroom/bathroom, HBO. Balcony and nice view of back of hotel with trees and wild monkeys, exotic birds in them. Breakfast deal is great. Omelets, and a nice fruit salad. Lots of restaurants nearby to choose from. Arrived from Colombo by highway bus for $3 USD(no complaints), then tuk-tuk to hotel. Easy find. Highly recommend.

Nice hotel close to the beach
Loved the whole visit. The checkin was simple and the front desk staff could not have been nicer during our stay. Anything we asked them to do, they did with a smile. The rooms were lovely. Very clean and comfy and the beds were great. The cleaning each day was very well done. The breakfast buffet is more than adequate (I'm not a big breakfast person, but there were made to order eggs and whatnot so it was fine). It's a very clean, very modern hotel.

Nice, clean hotel within minutes from the beach.
The staff were very friendly and helped us organise our tours and provided a packed breakfast for the early morning starts which is very helpful. The food was great (esp the daal curry) and nothing is ever too much for the hotel staff. It was also my birthday while I was staying at the hotel and as a surprise they decorated the room in the cutest way and I had a chocolate cake waiting for me too. Great service and highly recommend this place!

Great location. Whilst its doesn't have direct beach access or a pool, you only have to walk a minute to get to the water. Great staff, complimentary breakfast (I had an omelette each day), clean room, perfect location.

Very pleasant hotel walking distance from beach
When we were driven we weren't sure what to expect as the road had a few rough looking places but when we pulled up our fears were eased. The hotel is the best looking on the street, the friendly welcome helped us settle and the location is perfect for a stroll to the beach, which has numerous bars and restaurants. The room was spacious and clean, the food was good and although the initial view from the balcony isn't that great, if you give it a few minutes you will see a stunning array of wildlife.

Friendly and comfortable stay
We had a very comfortable stay at the Gloria Grand Hotel. It was excellent value for money. Our room was at the front of the hotel and for some this might be noisy, but we enjoyed seeing the bustle of Unawatuna life going on. Our room was a decent size with a good bathroom. It was immaculately clean however we would have liked our towels and bedlinen changed more often. The hotel staff were keen to clean our room, which was great but not at 8 in the morning! It was also a little noisy in the morning. Breakfast was excellent and the coffee improved. The waiters were polite and very helpful, especially Chana. The restaurant was also very good. We had the best curry of our trip there. It is a shame that more people do not visit it. We would definitely stay at the hotel again without hesitation.

Cute hotel with very friendly staff
This is my review from TripAdvisor: I had originally booked 2 nights at another hotel (Thambapanni Retreat) but had added an extra night in Galle - unfortunately no rooms were available so I booked a night at the Gloria and I was not disappointed. Although the hotel isn't large it is clean and well maintained and the location is excellent (only 5 minutes walk from Unawatuna beach). We were given a free upgrade and the room was spacious and clean with an excellent bathroom. We even had a little balcony we could sit and people watch. The staff like most Sri Lankans were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help us. For example when we checked out we left our bags with the hotel to move them later. On our way back we were caught in a heavy shower and were soaked to the skin. Not only did the hotel provide us with towels but they gave us a spare room to change and make use of the room's facilities. This is the kind of customer service that would definitely make me want to go back - highly recommended.

A nice hotel
A few things that are not computer meeting my expectation. 1) the hotel uses its own electricity generator therefore the flow is not stable 2) we did not render our room key in one morning therefore the room was not prepared when we were back in the afternoon. We had to wait the clean towel to arrive after 9 pm 3) when you look from the balcony it was quite raw and rough

Lovely place to stay, close to beach
We really enjoyed our stay at the Gloria. The staff really made this a great stay. Nothing was too much for them. The hotel is well resourced, clean and has great beds. The only down side was that it is difficult to access wifi. Very close to beach, restaurants, bars etc. Perfect spot. Very child friendly. Pleased to see a quiet police presence in the area.

Good hotel, great location
Hotel is conveniently situated. It is a 2-minute work to the beach. It is also not far from the major road, if you want to use convenient public transportation to visit other nearby cities and beaches. The hotel is new, the service is great and the rooms are clean. We had a balcony with a fantastic view. The management is planning to expand and add a pool and other facilities. They even sought our input as to what additions would be more desirable. Hats off to them.
