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

My partner stayed at the Cosmopolitan in mid October 2006, using it as a base for exploring Cairo before heading down the Nile. The location is great -10 minutes walking distant from the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities and around 20 minutes from the train station from where you can catch the sleeper train to Aswan or Luxor. We also found... more

The Cosmopolitan is a survivor of a past era... high ceilings, ornate decoration, cool, dark, quiet and good value. The carpets need vacuuming but the beds are clean and the hot water is plentiful. You can walk to the Egyptian Museum, the Nile, and the Metro. Felfella's, Groppi, and bookshops close by. In downtown Cairo you can pay a lot... more

This is a budget hotel that has seen better days. Semi-clean, helpful staff, but no hot water. Most importantly I want to warn you on the gift shop. Don't buy ANYTHING there. The owner is an unhonest hussler. I bought some gold jewelery there that turned out to be fake. Just stay away. more

Your classic group tour travel dump hotel. Room air conditioning was week, rooms were barely cleaned (never vacuumed), bathrooms weren't even wiped down. You can find better value elsewhere. Location is terrific though. more

The Cosmopolitan has a fantastic location in central Cairo. The hotel was obviously once glorious but now a little tatty around the edges. Having said that I have stayed in a few hotels in Egypt, and for the budget/mid-price range, I think the Cosmopolitan is good value. The rooms are a good size and quiet. We had a noisy aircon... more
