 "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
 "This historic, lovely Art Nouveau-era hotel doesn’t quite live up to the old-world grandeur of its foyer." 
 "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." 
 "Its prime location, on a pedestrian street, is tough to beat." Full review

 "The Mayfair is a very clean, small hotel located on three floors of a converted residential building in the middle of Zamalek; it's probably the best value for money in Cairo's budget range." Full review
 "This quiet hotel in an attractive 1930s residential block has a nice breakfast terrace, free Wi-Fi and a kitchen. Not all rooms have air conditioning." 
 "The cheapest sleep in the neighbourhood, on a quiet street, with a fine large terrace. Double rooms are clean and good-size, with balconies, TVs and fridges. But many single rooms are cramped." Full review
 "Pleasantly old fashioned with high ceilings and a wrap-around terrace for breakfasts, the Mayfair is the cheapest sleep in the neighbourhood and on a quiet street" Full review
