Frommer's "If you want a glimpse of what Cairo was 50 years ago, the Cosmopolitan's decor and furniture has changed little since then." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This historic, lovely Art Nouveau-era hotel doesn’t quite live up to the old-world grandeur of its foyer."
Rough Guide "This rather grand monumental belle époque hotel, located in the trendy Borsa area, has certainly seen better days, but is still quite stately in a modest way."
Lonely Planet "Its prime location, on a pedestrian street, is tough to beat." Full review

DK Eyewitness "A hotel for the truly budget-conscious, the Lotus dates from 1950, as is still reflected by the mattresses."
Rough Guide "Its claim to have “an authentic Art Deco ambience” is a slight exaggeration, though one or two of the fittings do seem to date from the 1930s, and the rooms are suitably sombre."
Lonely Planet "A 1950s concrete monolith with some surprising art deco flourishes strewn about. Rooms are a bit on the dingy side, and have certainly seen brighter decades." Full review
