Hi, I have bad experience with "Cosmopolitan hotel" at Cairo. - My cash is stolen 800 dollar - Only one lamp works inside my room - AC is too old and loud (hard to sleep) - We pay 60 Dollar per night, but quality is like small Youth Hostel - I read many Bad comments from Internet about this hotel... 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

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
