Rough Guide "Just over Tahrir Bridge in Gezira, this hotel is rather ugly on the outside but cool and stylish inside, with modern cream and beige rooms, plus deluxe accessories such as a/c and plasma TV."
Star Service "The main lobby, located on the second floor of the palace, is decorated with artifacts from the hotel's long history. It is a blend of Arabic and European influences. " Full review
Lonely Planet "Convenient location, sparkling new facilities and a pool are the selling points here, and more than make up for the somewhat generic chain feel." Full review

Frommer's "This is certainly the best value for money in Zamalek, and possibly in Cairo." Full review
Insight Guides "A well-kept secret among those who visit Cairo often, the Longchamps feels more like a Parisian private house than a hotel, and is well managed by the helpful Heba Bakri and her husband Chris."
Fodor's "This lovely little bed-and-breakfast-style hotel is on the upper floors of a medium-sized tower block, offering a quiet refuge from the city." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With only 22 rooms, the Longchamps tends to be booked weeks in advance. It’s a homely hotel with good, clean rooms and a fine restaurant, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby."
Rough Guide Star
"Spotless, quiet and well-run three-star hotel with a/c, satellite TV, internet connection and a fridge in all rooms, plus a pleasant terrace and meals available."
