Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were a bit small with limited storage options and unfortunately had some cleanliness issues with insects that bit the kids. However, the staff was friendly and the location was nice for exploring the city. The dining experience was average, with a lack of options for vegetarians and vegans, but there was a promise of improvements to be made. The hotel's facilities were adequate but had some weaknesses.
The hotel offers beautiful rooms with stunning views of Bab Bhar, but lacks balconies overlooking the square. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my stay truly enjoyable. The location is fantastic, right at the entrance to the Medina with easy access to shops and restaurants. The dining experience was good but could be more affordable. Overall, a great stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is situated in the historic center, although the small rooms had some issues with insects that bit the kids. Unfortunately, the noise from young people shouting and yelling in the square made it hard to sleep at night. It had an old feel but was in a convenient location near the Medina and restaurants.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but lacked a real balcony with a beautiful view of Bab Bhar. The bathroom was excellent, but the room felt a bit too small for my liking. The service was friendly and accommodating overall, but there were some issues with the extra charges for airport transfers compared to local prices. The location, however, was fantastic, right at the entrance of the Medina with easy access to shops and restaurants. The dining options were varied but nothing exceptional.
The hotel offers elegant rooms with traditional local furniture and decorations, a balcony facing the ancient city gates, and a cluttered yet cozy ambiance for a good night's sleep. The service is nice with very courteous and helpful staff, although some accidental mishaps occur. The location is ideal for exploring the old town part of Tunis and provides easy access to shops and restaurants. The dining options are somewhat limited but sufficient, and the facilities are well-maintained.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were too small, but beautifully designed in an Arabian style with a balcony offering a view of the ancient city gates. However, the service was lacking as there were instances of intrusion and unprofessional behavior. The location is ultra-central, convenient for exploring the city, though accessibility by car can be challenging due to heavy traffic. The dining options were decent but did not fully meet my expectations. The facilities were adequate, but some improvements could enhance the overall guest experience.
Waking into my room around 8 am, I found the space a little tight, and there was some water leakage when showering, making it a bit dark at night. However, the hotel lacks a taxi drop-off zone. The breakfast was on the smaller side, which is somewhat expected for a historic center hotel.
The hotel is perfectly situated at the entrance of the Medina/Casbah, offering a superb location for exploring the historical Medina and Bourguiba Avenue. While the service was courteous and helpful, the dining options were a bit lacking in variety. Overall, a convenient choice for immersing yourself in the local culture.
The hotel is ideally located near the Medina and various restaurants, making it convenient for exploring the old town of Tunis. The rooms, while dark and noisy facing the arch, provide a cozy setting for a good night's rest though cleanliness could be improved. The service, though helpful, had a significant discrepancy in pricing. Dining options were limited, especially for vegetarians, yet the grilled salmon was exceptional.
The hotel is in a bustling area at the entrance of the medina, making it convenient for exploring the historic city, but the heavy traffic during the day and nightly closures of the area can be a bit challenging. The rooms, albeit lacking balconies with pretty square views and cleanliness concerns for short stays, offer a comfortable experience with modern amenities. The service is welcoming and helpful, particularly during Eid-al Fitr celebrations, despite some instances of early morning interruptions. Although the location is ultra-central, it can be noisy, and access by car is tricky due to heavy traffic. The dining is satisfactory but may not meet high expectations, especially considering prices are steep compared to local eateries. The facilities are decent, catering to essential needs with room service, car hire, and laundry available.
