Fodor's
"This is an oasis of calm in the middle of Downtown."
DK Eyewitness
"The Talisman’s rooms are decorated in rich colours, while common areas are filled with examples of Egyptian arts and crafts. It’s a stunning hotel in a great location."
Rough Guide
"Well-situated boutique hotel with some five-star facilities (a/c, satellite TV, minibar, safe) but no pool or fitness centre."
Lonely Planet
"The boutique Talisman has great style – jewel-tone rooms with a dash of Oriental kitsch – but its rooms aren’t as well kept as they ought to be." Full review

"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
