Globus Customer Reviews
The hotel in London (Park Plaza Westminster Bridge) was wonderful and is the type of hotel that I would typically stay in when taking care of booking my own accommodations. However, not so much for the hotel in Paris (Les Jardins du Marais). The room was spacious; but it had a powerful old musty and damp smell, in which I would typically check out of the hotel and stay somewhere else. Also, there was no option to control the temperature in the room because at night it would be a bit cooler than usual and needed a bit warming up.
I always feel safe when traveling with Globus and Cosmos.
