Very nice stay.
It was good overall. Just several of the staff, at the front door and restaurant were not friendly nor attentive. Rather they just were engrossed on their phones. Omar at the front desk was fantastic, really making us feel welcome and spoke very good English. Breakfast was very good, coffee decent and chef very nice. Oddly the others would just stand around chatting or on phones and offer no service. Bell boys were nice. Very nice sitting lounge.

This place is a great hotel to stay, the area is an old part of town but is a bargain of a stay, easy to get transportation to anywhere in town from the hotel.

I've stayed at the Cosmo before and it's a good location. It's an older hotel but well maintained. Lots of character. Barking dogs made sleeping difficult

The staff at the Cosmopolitan work assiduously to provide the best service for their guests. The rooms are clean The breakfast buffet is excellent. The hotel is strategically located near the Egyptian Museum, the Nile River and the railway/subway metro. This hotel is a great value for the money and has an "old" school charm.

Good location and clean room
The location of hotel is excellent and room is very clean and quiet. The furniture in the room is bit old fashion, but compare the room rate no complain. Only negative feedback is shower room floor is very slippy, I would like to suggest the hotel to arrange a rubber mat to avoid any accident to happen.

The only neverive is that the hotel forgot to have us picked up at the airport. 5 hours later and $500 poorer and we arrived at the hotel. From that time on, the hotel was very nice. The housekeeping staff was excellent. The beds were comfortable and the location right in the downtown area. Very opulent looking lobby.
