Globus Urban Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Pros: 1) It was in the city center, but still near enough to the regional train center I didn’t have dedicate too much time to travel. 2) Everything was modern and appeared new! And even though I was solo traveling at this point, they provided TWO suitcase racks. It’s 50/50 on whether a hotel will provide even one. AND, they didn’t crowd the room with miscellaneous stuff. 3) The staff was very friendly. I quite appreciated the lemon water they provided. Cons: None!"

"The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were amazing—very friendly and helpful. We arrived late, so we had to do a self check-in, but it wasn’t bad at all. There was someone available to give us directions and help us figure everything out. Our rooms were located in the building next to the main lobby, so it took us a little while at first to figure out the entrance and exit, but overall it wasn’t a problem. Menchetti, located right in the hotel lobby, is a really nice place for food, coffee, and drinks. You can get regular American-style drip coffee there, as well as freshly squeezed orange juice, which was a nice bonus. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and enjoyed our experience."
