Wonderful stay in Cairo

If I am ever to return to Cairo I'll have no hesitation in staying at Hotel Longchamps. I've previously stayed at the big 5 star hotel and the contrast couldn't have been greater. Run by the efficient and friendly Hebba help and advice was always to hand. Hebba and her staff all have good English and having them negotiate private transport, book a restaurant or make telephone enquiries on our behalf was a lifesaver. Most visitors to Cairo will be familiar with the rip-off merchants or the dodgy tour guides which can really waste your time and money. The staff here steer you in the right direction and we never once had a bad recommendation.
The level of service – and friendliness – was something I've seldom found in the large hotels. The other thing I have to mention is that it's about one tenth the price! Book an Executive room for all the luxuries including heating and air conditioning, direct dial telephones, mini bar, internet access, cable television, sitting areas and king size beds. Some rooms have balconies so ask.
Breakfast is an excellent buffet which has something for everyone, and all fresh and delicious. There are some delightful public spaces and the terraces both front and back provide the perfect place to relax after a hectic day of touring Cairo. Located in Zamalek you're close to the action but far enough away to escape the madness that is central Cairo.
