This hotel is just magical, gorgeous in every corner, the hallways, the mirrors, the rooms. Stunning, the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. The staff was kind, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast is beyond amazing. So much to choose from and everything was delicious. (I will miss fresh dates for breakfast every day.) We fully recommend this hotel.

Toilet Pit

I’ll address each terrible star: Cleanliness was absolutely horrendous. Brown spot on the sheets and lubricant smeared on the desk. Eco: bathroom leaked from the very possible source Comfort: bed was disgusting and bellied, made of cheap factory foam with a sheet in it Location: center of Tunis, but the center where everyone screams and yells Breakfast was inedible, coffee was NESCAFÉ mud in a carafe, and service didn’t exist. As in, there was one guy working the desk This hotel holds the dubious honor of being in the top 10 worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at in my life and I’m including all of the other toilet hole Third World countries that I’ve been to. This hotel and its owner should be ashamed of themselves for even operating a business much less having the gall to charge US$100 a night.
