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.

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.

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.

Wonderful staff especially the S. Sudanese bellboys. This hotel has nice Egyptian decor but needs major renovation.
3.0 / 5.0
The location is good. The room is quite spacious (booked the junior suit) but the bathroom is very small, the shower sink is not working properly (water drain very slowly). The furniture, carpet (in/out) are very old. The staff are ok (not very friendly). The price is not bad (not a peak season). Overall, 5/10.

Building is old and needs renovations. Shower in our room was a disaster
2.5 / 5.0
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.
1.0 / 5.0
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.

This historic hotel is a beautiful structure with an elegant art deco elevator. Marble floors beautiful details.good location. My bathroom was a bit outdated but very clean..staff is fantastic and very polite and helpful..my house keeper Said was fantastic and would create animal sculptures daily. Each one better than the next..a good choice at an excellent price..

2.0 / 5.0
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 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.

Everything was good , just I had a mistake when I observed.
I had a previous reservation from 10-1 to 10 4
In the new reservation I put 3:5 instead 4:6
I tried many times with them to conceive them I already pay them 6 days but they refused and charged me cash for extra day that I didn’t get the service
I need your help to get my money back
Thank you

Historic hotel, friendly helpful staff. I love the location convenient for shopping and dining.

The hotel is an old-fashioned decorated hotel, very nice. The only "minor" is the main elevator, also "old-fashioned". It needs to be closed manually, which some customers seem to forget. Location is also good.

Nice hotel for the price. Staff was friendly and the breakfast included was also good.
Shower didn't have hot water with was a little inconvenient.
Overall, if you are looking for an affordable spot near downtown Cairo, this is a good one.

Old Hotel but they did the renovations. Quite busy area. Everything almost available close by . Staff is not very helpful.Should improve the level of service.
1.5 / 5.0
This hotel has a great location in Downtown Cairo, with easy walking distance of Tahrir Square.The lobby looks really fancy in a vintage way, and the elevator gives off a big vibe of retro glam. All of this doesn't feel like it has been looked after very well though, and could do with a bit of TLC.
Staff provide a mixed bag, with some being very engaged and helpful, but others looking bored, and annoyed by requests. On arrival, we were offered an "upgrade" from the junior suite we had booked, although this turned out to be to a smaller, worse room, and thankfully we were able to keep the room we had originally booked.
We left early for the airport on the last day, and had requested a breakfast box. Unfortunately on check-out, this hadn't been prepared. The guy on the desk didn't really seem to care, and nothing was offered to compensate for the extra expense we'd incur because of this.
The room was spacious and comfortable, the breakfast on the first day was plentiful, if not outstanding.
Feel like with a couple of small changes and improvements in customer service, this could be even better.

Great location of main arterial street. Value for money, friendly helpful staff.
4.0 / 5.0
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.

Hot water took forever to get to the tap or shower. Also air-conditioning to forever to get going everything else was good.

Do not stay here. Cairo has no midrange accomodation. As a couple who attempted to go midrange this is not it. Pay for a Hilton or similar. The hotel is completely rundown- no hot water, very old and the worst it was very dirty. There were hairs everywhere. It’s like they didn’t own a vacuum. Not to mention the linen at breakfast probably hadn’t been changed in months.

Before booking Cosmpolitan Hotel I read comments possitive and negative and I was uncertained of what was going to happen once I would be there. I enjoyed my stay here. Staff was friendly and helpful. Internet and TV work much better of what the comments mentioned. The location is close to many shops, the Egyptian Museum, the Nile, Subway. It is in the middle of Downtown Cairo. The ambience is vintage and while there I felt that I was traped in one of Agatha Cristie's novel. Breakfast is ok. My room was cleaned and it seemed to be recently renovated. I enjoyed the shower after walking around Cairo. Whenever I returned to Cairo I would like to return here.
5.0 / 5.0
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.
