Hotel Longchamps Cairo

I visited Hotel Longchamps with my adult son in December. We came from a very unfortunate stay at an unregistered hotel in Giza. Coming to Longchamps in the gorgeous Zamalek neighborhood made our time in Cairo fantastic. Ms. Hebba Bakri, the owner, welcomed us warmly and helped us to feel at home. The room was wonderful with high quality fabrics and everything was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The outdoor eating area was comfortable and a great place to meet other travelers. I would not stay anywhere else in Cairo. Ms. Bakri and Longchamps are a gem.

Hotel Lonchamps is a hidden gem in Cairo! Having stayed in a few different hotels in the city on our trip, all of which were 4 or 5 star big name hotels, I can confidently say that Longchamps outranked them all! Most of the hotel buildings are relatively old and, even with some renovations, don't compare to the cleanliness and prestine of this hotel. As you arrive, you'll walk into a seemingly empty building and can choose to take the elevator or the stairs up to the hotel. Don't be alarmed, the location is perfect and the building is nice and quiet. Longchamps is in a university area on Zamalek island that has a great vibe during the day, is easy to walk around safely--traffic isn't horrifying here, and is nice and quiet at night. Our bedroom window opened (with a screen) to trees and the sound of birds every day, even in busy Cairo! Breakfast is simle and very delicious, and the hotel has a beautiful patio surrounded by trees and plants. It was hard to believe we were in the middle of such a big city! The atmosphere and staff just topped it all off. We felt so relaxed while we were there and were taken such great care of by all of the staff we met. Thank you so much to Heba and her team for making our stay nothing short of perfect! We'll definitely be back again and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Cairo or looking for a staycation.

I really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Longchamps. The room was excellent! The bed was the most comfortable I had during my whole time in Egypt ( I stayed in 5 different hotels during the trip) and the whole hotel was spotlessly clean. The breakfast was fantastic, again the best that i had during the course of the trip. The owners were very welcoming and professional. They even had German Christmas cookies to offer the guests! The location was great, in the heart of Zamelak close to lots of shops and restaurants. It was a shame we were only staying one night. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Cairo.
