This hotel was amazing from the staff to the hotel itself great location for Shopping and Hotel transport. Right Downtown not to far from Museum and other attractions

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

8/10 Very good

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.

What a nice hotel- very clean safe and staff was wonderful Especially Kahlid who works security. They made me and my girlfriend so happy and comfortable. Certainly would come back if I was in Cairo.

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.

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.

Despite of the location was perfect in the center of the city ,the hotel in general was disappointing,there was no water glasses on rooms on arrival، the bathroom door handles were loose,the place

They should provide hair brush, iron qnd other basic things. The shower wasn't working either.

Sub Standard

The quality of the hotel rooms is significantly below standard. The buffet breakfast was satisfactory, but not impressive. Additionally, there was a noticeable damp smell emanating from the rooms, while the reception area was heavily filled with smoke. However, it is worth mentioning that the hotel is situated in a pleasant area. Despite the appealing pictures displayed on the website, considering the amount I paid, I would not choose to stay at this hotel again.

Area was not nice. Front desk were young guys that were unable/ difficult to help with attractions or transportation. Hotel is old and needs to be renovated. I used Uber, but they try to scam you. I used Viator for attractions. They pick up and drop you off at your hotel. I moved in the middle of my stay to Ritz Carlton… an expense that I did not plan for, but had to.
Keith, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wonderful old lift. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good and tasty food but limited menu. Helpings generally too big. No alcohol (not a problem but we were not made aware of this when we booked). Room not what I would call 'a luxury double': no chairs and fairly cold especially during the first 2 weeks. Shower flooded bathroom, but spread of water could be contained by judicious placement of towels on the floor. Very noisy at times. Sometimes other guests but also a lot of building work going on right by the hotel. Not the hotel's fault but something to be aware of. Area was a bit dirty (building work) and Cairo is very polluted. Traffic is appalling, constant and incredibly noisy with almost constant use of horns - again not hotel's fault but something to be aware of. No idea what happens to the huge number of plastic water bottles - hopefully recycled. Truly wonderful hot chocolate.

8/10 Very good

We chose this hotel based on excellent location in the heart of Cairo downtown. You can comfortably handle the whole downtown by foot, stores, restaurants, museum, etc. Area is typical Cairo-downtown and somewhat chaotic, but we found it safe day and night. Hotel has guards outside, no worries there. Hotel itself is comfortable, in interesting old style, clean with functional but somewhat small rooms. Especially unique is the elevator, a must see! It is a compromise between smaller and cheaper places (loud) in downtown that are perhaps more appropriate for younger visitors, and more upscale and expensive ones (mostly further away, you need taxi to get to center). As the idea was to explore Cairo and use hotel mostly for a good nights sleep, this turned out to be a good choice. Free buffet style breakfast is extensive, coffee not something to brag about. Room was clean and attended daily, bathroom renovated. Our room was reasonably quiet, except some dog barking. In Cairo hotels, outside noise during night is something that needs to be paid attention to as there are a lot of complaints from visitors from other hotels in downtown - but this hotel is located somehow a short stretch into a small street that is blocked by the hotel so it is not an issue. Shortly - we found this hotel to be a good choice if you are there to explore Cairo.

Breakfast was lousy
Malcolm, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The breakfast buffet had terrible coffee and flavourless food. It also seems that many people don't know to close the doors on the older elevators, so it would not move to pick us up until a staff member went up and closed the doors

Falmet skjønnhet, mye for pengene.

Dette hotellet har nok vært veldig fint, men det er lenge siden. God beliggenhet nær Tahirplassen og Nasjonalmuseet. God frokost, men kaffen kan bli bedre. Utrolig kul heis, i seg selv verd et besøk. Dårlig rengjøring, endel av skitten virker inngrodd. Også mye støy. Verandadører kan ikke lukkes- alle lydene fra utsiden- og det er mye- går rett inn i rommet. Vi ble vekt klokken 05 hver dag av minaretene som kalte inn til bønn. Det kan også nevnes at hotellet er alkoholfritt, som vel har både gode og dårlige sider. Hyggelige og hjelpsomme ansatte.

Der Fahrstuhl in diesem Hotel vom Beginn des 20 Jahrhunderts ist fantastisch. Mitarbeiterinnen und Service ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben. Wer einen Ausflug nach Alexandria machen möchte, sollte sich unbedingt durch die Rezeption Said als Fahrer organisieren. Ein Unikat und wirklich toller Typ.

Rett ved egyptiske museet og handlegate

Hotellet preges av falmet storhet, men tilfredsstilte vårt behov og budsjett. Det hadde særpreg og resepsjonen var opplyste og imøtekommende. Beliggenheten svært god litt tilbaketrukket fra fin shoppinggate med mer støy. Gangavstand til Egyptiske museet.

Muito satisfatório

Funcionarios muito atenciosos, fizeram o possível para me acomodar de ultima hora para checkin antecipado em função de reserva mal sucedida em outro hotel. O Cosmopolitan é um hotel bem localizado com custo beneficio excelente, o que é raro no Cairo. Recomendo a todos.
LEONARDO GIUSEPPE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I stayed here for a number of days, the night with this Wotif booking and number of days with G Adventures, including booking extra days after, it being their base hotel for Cairo nights of Highlights of Egypt 14 day tour. The hotel is interesting in decor. You've got I'm guessing pith helmet era English, Spanish, French aristocrats portraits on the wall who I'm guessing explored ancient Egypt sites, otherwise odd choice in Egypt. Lift is interesting old era one. Rooms I experienced a few varied, some were better designed, especially the bathroom. But aircon works, showers are decent, beds comfortable. No pool or anything really to do other than sit on chairs in lobby or on floors near lift so just stay in your room as the hotel is a sort of safe sanctuary in this neighborhood. Area outside you get constantly hassled walking around, "where you from?" "Come see my shop," What you want to buy" "spend all your money here" or followed around wherever you go by people expecting money for doing so even though you've told them you want to walk by yourself. One guy even kicked me because I wouldn't give him any (I'd told him constantly "I'm being blunt with you I'm not giving you any money" He's like is okay I just walking with you but then wants money at the end, acting like he was my guide. Likewise places around area you buy food, credit card machine suddenly isn't working, the bill has extra items in there. Staff at Hotel Cosmopolitan though are great.

2 star hotel level

Wifi is super slow. Amenity like shampoo and body soap is cheap, not 4-star hotel amenities. No tooth brush. The room card can not be used after 1 day, i have to ask for change in reception. Breakfast is good with my expectation and some variations. Overall i think it is a 2 star hotel.
