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
