I have stayed at the Cosmopolitan on 2 occasions and have been made to feel welcome. Ok, it's not the most luxurious and modern hotel in the world but it is ideally located in 'Downtown' Cairo and within walking distance of the Egyptian Museum and major shopping areas. I liked it's 'OLDE World, Colonnial feel and would stay there again.... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel and we were very comfortable staying there. Our room was very clean! The beds were comfortable and the staff was very helpful and courteous! I loved the balcony which overlooked the many coffee shops and stores. There was nothing wrong in our room and I felt very safe staying there! more

The Cosmopolitan is a decent value in downtown Cairo, but it's nothing to get too excited about. The rooms are tidy enough, but far from charming. It was pretty quiet, which is a little hard to find near the busy streets of downtown Cairo. The staff can be a little overwhelming as they will do just about anything to get... more

We were booked into this hotel by Egyptair because their delay caused us to miss our connecting flight. We would not have walked down the street let alone stay here in normal circumstances. The room was on the 6th floor with no sign of any fire precautions. The door had a hole in it, bathroom floor had brown liquid on... more

The Cosmo is like a well-loved but aging auntie.... not perfect but still lovable. Where else in central Cairo will you find cool rooms and security within 10 min walk from the Nile and Egyptian Museum? Where else will a lost purse full of money and credit cards be returned? I believe the Cosmo offers all a reasonable traveller requires. more

Stay away from this hotel! We stayed there for 2 nights because our other hotel reservation had been canceled due to a delay in our wire transfer. It was over Easter week and we were told no other hotels were available. I was very worried due to the other trip advisor reviews, and rightly so! The carpet leading to the... more

This was the first place I stayed upon arrival in Egypt, and I was totally pleased. I had a corner room with high ceilings and grand floor-to-ceiling french doors that opened on to a wraparound balcony that looked on to a bustling Cairo. Very, very cool. It seemed like a faded Grand Hotel. Practically speaking, the room had everything I... more

First of all I have to honestly say I did not stay at the Hotel. But, I did spend a lot of time there and inspected the rooms and nearly moved there from the Oasis Hotel in Giza. Your first impression will be "What a dump"!! Perhaps but it has a hidden charm and character. Look closely at the entrance... more
