Hotel Gloria

Sehr sauber und ruhige Unterkunft mit Parkplätzen

The hotel is located close to the motorway but is situated on an industrial estate. The room was clean. Good restaurant right next to the hotel.

The photos do not represent all the rooms. I think the room we got is highly overpriced - the same price as a stay at Hotel Ibis in Wels, Austria for an incomparable quality room. There is no AC, and the room above the restaurant does get hot in the summer - be mindful of that.

We were heading for Aachen's excellent Christmas market but due to busy work schedule we had to take what came- Hotel Gloria. The hotel is situated in the middle of an industrial estate...really! A disembodied voice told us the door to our room was open and there we were! There was no tea and coffee facilities, but the shower was large and refreshing. Next morning the usual German breakfast was there, no complaints, even had a boiled egg! The cost was €140 for two days for two people- no complaints! If you want a basic room and breakfast Gloria won't disappoint- just close your eyes as you drive away, it is in an industrial estate!

Desperate for a bed having traveled from South Bohemia in the Czech Republic (we had not accounted for the Aachen Horse Races which had hoovered up all of the accommodation in the area) we were told about this hotel that was situated on an industrial estate in Alsdorf. We pitched up at the Hotel Gloria and there was one remaining (small) bed. A cool 100 euros (cash) bought us a 3/4 size bed (lucky we are not so large) and a surprisingly large shower - but not much else! The outside temperature was around 36C outside and inside the room it was not much different with no a/c or even a fan to cool us which made for a very hot and sticky night. Unsurprisingly there were very few people in the restaurant although I have to say the "schnitzel und salat mit pommes" was just acceptable. The beer was not! Breakfast was the usual standard fare (cheese, meats, rolls,tea and coffee) but erring on the cheap side. The yogurts were out of date so I didn't try them. Under different circumstances I would not have chosen to stay at a place like this (we like to stay in Pensions or Privats) but Hotel Gloria saved the day and provided parking and accommodation for two weary travelers - so I can't complain too much.
