Cosmos understands that adventure is waiting for us – all of us – out in the world. And there simply is no better time than the present to discover new sights, new sensations and new experiences.

With our new look and feel, we’re celebrating this ideal and the unparalleled and attainable access we offer our travelers to the globe with value-centric vacations in 64 countries, on six continents. Let the unexpected begin. Let awe-inspiring take over. Adventure is knocking. As a Cosmos traveler, we know you will answer – as you always have – by finding adventure in the world around you.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is something we can definitely request, but unfortunately in Europe the setup of hotels is not like it is in other parts of the world and can never be guaranteed (i.e sometimes don't have triple share rooms available)

Prices are based on a twin-share. If you are happy to go with a twin-share the tour operator will place you with another solo traveller of the same sex. If you would like your own room, you can opt for the single supplement, with an additional cost. The single supplement is not compulsory for this tour. You can opt to share a room with another passenger of the same sex.

Reviews of this Operator

We have just returned from a cosmos….

We have just returned from a Cosmos tour- Gourmet Tuscany. We stayed in Montecatini Terme and traveled from there to many wonderful places, in towns and the fabulous Tuscan countryside. We visit Vineyards for wine tastings, farms for cooking lessons and lunches and dinners in authentic Italian restaurants. All assisted by a friendly, informative tour director. First class holiday

Excellent in every respect

I recently did a 2-week "best of Italy" tour with this company. Our guide, Daniella, was fantastic, the itinerary was excellent and they catered for my rather difficult dietary requirements really well. Really happy and will certainly book with them again

A wonderrful experience

WE saw so much. The tour director Mladin was very knowledgeable and made the experience so enjoyable. The bus driver Paul was so nice and helpful. A couple of the hotels had no refrigerators to keep the water cold. We had to carry our own luggage to and from the rooms. There should have been porters to help us. Over all we had a great time.

Old South &Florida tour

Great organisation, tour guide(Kris) and driver(Tony) who went extra mile and good group of people from all over world. The hotels were excellent in New Orleans and Nashville and very good in other cities. The itinerary was well thought out with visits to Gracelands and Grande ole Oprey topping the bill. We added 3extra nights in New Orleans (giving us 6nights) which was absolutely fab and would advise anyone doing this tour that they consider some extra nights to see and do as much as you can

The tour director expertise and…

The tour director expertise and personality made the trip all the more pleasant. No stress. The local guides as well added to the beauty of this trip. They were knowledgeable and personable. I also have to mention the travelers (the group of 21). The people were friendly an accommodating. This is my third trip with this tour company and I will continue to travel with this company due to excellent planning and customer service. Thank you

Stayed here with my mum on a 2 night trip to the city. Got a good deal on b&b rate. Tube & bus station couple minutes walk from hotel for easy assess - although is in zone 2 so not right in centre but that didn't matter as only a few tube stops. Our package included buffet breakfast - which was nice, only complaint pancakes cold but I had something else instead. Room clean & spacious, water a little slow to drain in bath after taking a shower but didn't cause major problem. Never had evening meal but did use bar/lounge area which had pleasant atmosphere - although wine expensive at £9 a glass! All staff we dealt with were helpful although we never had any problems. Would we stay again - definitely if got good enough deal again.

  • Cleanliness

Dear Nicola, Thank you for posting a review following your past stay at Novotel London West. There are goods transports links that operate in the Hammersmith area indeed. I am pleased to hear you found the access to our hotel very easy and that you enjoyed our premium location. Our wine rates are displayed on the beverage menu and may vary depending on the type of grape. We have a varied selection of wines in the hotel, from every region around the world. Our Sauvignon Blanc which is one of our House Wines comes up to £3.75 per 125ml size glass which is a great deal. We are delighted to hear your mother and yourself found our staff very helpful and would like to thank you for your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you again very soon. With best regards, Emilie Sibourg Guest Relations Manager Novotel London West

  • Sleep Quality

For practical reasons, I often stays in this hotel for business. I never once really enjoyed my stay. The rooms are decorated with no charm, their main attribute being that the furniture is everything but unique (so it can be refurbished at lower cost). The staff is very international -many languages spoken. All of these young people try their best to be kind but unfortunately most of them being with very limited competencies (or experience as they come cheap this way), don't expect too much of anything outside of the standard requests. Finally and purposely, the whole thing comes at a very high cost. One positive thing : the lobby is rather pleasant.

Dear Regular Guest, Thank you for your loyalty towards our hotel and for taking the time to write a review. I am glad to hear you find our public areas pleasant, but very disappointed to learn our rooms are not suitable enough for your needs. Please accept my sincerest apology if the service received is not at par with your expectations. The service provided by our employees is something we usually pride ourselves on, therefore I am extremely saddened to read this. I would appreciate if you could contact me directly so that we can work together on the issues that you experienced: [email protected] We hope you will give us a chance in the future to show you how great our hotel is. Yours sincerely, Emilie Sibourg Guest Relations Manager Novotel London West

We stayed here last month after attending a concert in Wembley. Our original hotel was fully booked and the booking company upgraded us here at no extra charge. The reception area is situated on the 1st floor and is spacious. Check in was smooth and staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was located on the 4th floor. As the hotel has many rooms on each floor it may take you a few minutes to locate your room. We had a lovely king size bed and a sofa bed to make it a twin bedded room. Room was very clean and large enough for our stay. A min bar was available in the rooms but could not see any price lists anywhere. The bar situated on the first floor closes just after midnight but room service is available 24 hours if required. Breakfast was included in the cost but we did not make it each morning. The hotel was only a 5-10 minute walk to the tube station which would take you to the centre of London in about 15minutes. Hammersmith has a good selection of bars, café’s, restaurants and a couple of nice shopping malls if don’t want to travel far.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel following your recent stay. It was with great pleasure that we received your candid comments for which we would like to thank you. The Reception team will be thrilled as it is greatly appreciated when their efforts are recognised. I am glad to hear you enjoyed the Executive Bedroom upgrade in full. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. With best regards, Emilie Sibourg Guest Relations Manager Novotel London West

Stayed here just before our flight due to the connection with heathrow via the tube. The hotel is a short walk from hammersmith tube station which connects well into central london in less than 30 mins. There's not so many places to eat in Hammersmith but there's some shops. Its best to go into central London or Richmond for shops and food. Breakfast was a buffet and was very nice in lovely surrounding. Also the rooms and communal areas were all 4-5*. Also with a 12pm check out it was really useful for us. We didnt use the fitness facilities but they looked better than most hotels. A little on the expensive side, but given connectivity and standard, its about as good as you can get for the location and quality.

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for sending us your kind feedback and for choosing Novotel London West for your recent stay. I am glad to hear you appreciated our proximity to Heathrow and the transport links available next to the hotel. I understand you did not find many places to eat in Hammersmith’s area... Why not trying our Rosette-awarded “Artisan” restaurant next time? Satisfaction guaranteed! Should you require directions or recommendations on your next stay, please do not hesitate to ask me directly and I will be delighted to assist you. We very much look forward to welcoming you back to the hotel in the near future. With best regards, Emilie Sibourg Guest Relations Manager Novotel London West
