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.

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.
