Hotel Longchamps

Very beautiful boutique hotel with great atmosphere.

I’ve stayed at Longchamps for three nights in January, and felt very safe and comfortable there. The personnel are very friendly and accommodating, shared spaces and my room were clean. It was also great to see that they are going as green as possible: there is a big water dispenser and a big jar in the room, and also complimentary coffee 24/7. I also liked that there was an option to opt out of daily room cleaning, I’ve had enough towels for three nights anyway. I had a corner room which was a bit noisy (because this is Cairo), but earplugs were enough.

The Owner of the hotel Ms.Heba knows how to be a business owner, the place is impeccable, the staff are great and always helpful and the owner is just one of the nicest most experienced and professional people in the hotel business in Cairo, she was thoughtful, helpful and even when we were late for breakfast still sent us something to start the day. The hotel itself is very reminiscent of 1930s Europe with German signage everywhere, immaculately clean and the rooms were just lovely, this is my new favourite hotel in Downtown Cairo

This is a lovely B&B style hotel, a true oasis in a very dusty and noisy city. We stayed for three nights at the beginning of our trip and enjoyed our stay. The hotel is beautifully designed with carefully curated art and antiques. Rooms are airy and very clean with lovely linens and towels. Later we learned the true value of this wonderful establishment. When our travel plans got messed up and we found ourselves needing a room in the middle of the night, we called Longchamps at an ungodly hour and a room was made ready for us. It was wonderful to slip into a clean bed with soft linens after the turmoil of our day. We are grateful to Hebba and her staff for their gracious hospitality and now feel we have a home away from home in Cairo.

Stayed there for 3 nights in December 2022. Nice hotel in a great neighbourhood. Room was clean, confortable and most importantly quiet. Staff was friendly, apart from the German lady at reception in the morning who had a weird passive aggressive way of interacting with people (maybe she was stressed?). Would however still recommend.

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.

Very nice place to stay in Cairo (very rare as we went to 2 other hotels during our trip and both of them were very bad). It is very modern and clean. The place is very calm in comparison to the rest of the city. The value for money is very good ! There is also a nice terrace to have breakfast (also very nice with a lot of choice and good croissant) or an Egyptian beer at night. The neighborhood Zaamalek is one of the best to visit the city : calm, secure and close to the main points of interest (guizeh, museum, Nile etc).

A fantastic place for me to end my 3 week adventure of Egypt! I'm so glad I chose to stay at Hotel Longchamps over the bigger chain hotels that I was considering. Walking into the hotel with its charming (authentic) antique decor made me feel like the explorers of old. Actually even riding the lift up from the nondescript building entrance was an experience. Despite the classy antique decor, I found that all the amenities were modern enough (not super modern, but then again almost nowhere in Egypt is) and comfortable enough. The bed is definitely among the firmest I've experienced in a hotel (the prize is taken by a hotel in mainland China), which I didn't have any issue with but might not be your thing. I also very much appreciated the hotel having a drinking water machine for guests to fill up with - I really disliked having to survive on bottled water throughout Egypt so was delighted to be able to fill up my water bottle at the hotel. Hebba and her team have top notch customer service standards. Warm and friendly, but not imposing. Requests for a breakfast box and to store my luggage while I was on a tour of the White Desert were dealt with happily, and I felt very much at home there in the few days I stayed at Hotel Longchamps. The Zamalek neighbourhood where the hotel is located is also extremely pleasant, with quite a European feel to it. Very quiet (a welcome escape from the constant traffic noise of Cairo) but with plenty of all the shops you'll need and some good food. Loved it and I can only recommend staying at Hotel Longchamps!
