Calming & Charming

Review of Hotel Gloria
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 Aug 2018
Charming traditional hotel building in a good location, with beatiul views, very close the funicular for an easy 2 min walk to the boat pier. Also easily accesible with the hourly bus service.

As it was pointed in other reviews this Hotel is what you would consider "family run". While this might mean more personal and friendly service, it might also mean lack of system and and consistency. In our case the latter was true, I have tried to contact the hotel via multiple channels (Own Website, hotels.com, email, facebook) relentlesly chasing after 15 days days I finally got a response and I assumed my requests were finally delivered and acted upon. Only to later find out that they were not. My room request was pretty much ignored (I was hoping for an upper floor room) which I understand is a request that cannot be guaranteed, but I don't think there is any explanation that the staff didn't know I booked the resturant for 2 dinners almost a month ago.

Rooms were clean, breakfast was nice, restaurant was also good. I personally enjoyed the food, (Lamb and Fondue) although my friends were not impressed with
the Veal in Creamy Mushroom Sauce served in a bowl, as it had very litle veal in it. Wine selection was decent, and the swiss dessert wine recommended by the staff was one of the best I've ever had.

A Small Nest called Haven!

Stayed for 2 nights with the family, it’s an awesome place, a lot of effort put in by the owners to make this a wonderful family run hotel.
Every detail is taken care off, the decor, the rooms are amazing, the food quality at the restaurant is awesome. Every dish that we ordered was amazing … the view from the room was heavenly…
It is a 20 minutes driver from Interlaken to reach Gloria, it takes you through a scenic view of Beatenberg, and there is a bus connectivity right at to doorstep to Interlaken West rail station.

Great hospitality form owner Bernard and his team, special thanks to Nadine, everyone was so friendly.

Thanks for making us feel at home…

Room tip: All rooms have an awesome view

Our second visit to this amazing little hotel. The magnificent view hasn’t changed nor has the quality. Owners Bernie and Jackie continue to look after guests like they are old friends. The meals are superb and not to be missed. If you need any advice on the area, Bernie is a mine of information.

We stayed two nights and the hotel lived up to the reviews we had read. Every room has an amazing view of Thunersee and the Alps like the one I’ve shared. The owner came over for a chat whenever he saw us and all the staff made us feel welcome. The restaurant was excellent too.

We were greeted warmly by the owner , checked in then went to our room. The hotel is not extravagant on entrance , but the room was very clean, comfortable beds & rooms. But oh the view & you have a private balcony over looking the lake & mountains . A good breakfast is offered & they also have a restaurant for dinner, we ate dinner both nights & it was lovely. The hotel is situated up the mountain side but so worth the drive .

We only stayed the one night but wished it was much longer. After a warm and friendly welcome we had a lovely room with a balcony that had an amazing view of the lake and mountains. Dinner was great sat out on the terrace , can't praise the staff and owners enough for their service. The village itself is so pretty and it has both a cable car to take you up the mountain and a vernicular train to take you down to the lake. There's a little shop as well to get provisions. Really loved it here and can't wait to come back!
