Peaceful

Probably the best hotel in Sidi bou said. Stayed in a few there now, there all pretty good but Dar said has a bit of everything and is more reasonably priced compared to the likes of Villa Bleue. A little tip there are taxi apps now one called in drive and the other Bolt, all taxi's are allowed to drive upto to the hotel, so if they try to drop you at the bottom of the hill refuse to get out, they soon remember the way. Failing that you can use the hotel taxi but my only complaint is that it is very over priced. I think if it is your first visit to Tunisia Dar Said is the perfect introduction. I have been travelling backwards and forwards to Tunis for around 12 years now and can honestly say its one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. Also don't pay for breakfast through the booking app, breakfast is always included.

We really enjoyed our stay, very peaceful. The property is 4 stars but service is closer to a 3 star hotel level. Fine with me generally, as I typically don't expect to be waited on like luxury hotels like to do anyways. One other note, coordinate your taxi transportation with the hotel. It's cheaper than a taxi running its meter and more importantly the hotel taxi will drive you right to the hotel. The road is blocked for non-residents so a normal taxi will drop you off at the end of the road and you'd have to walk a bit to the hotel. PROS: -Perfectly situated in the middle of Sidi Bou Said, you can walk to the beach easily or around the area with no problems. -Amazing sea view, with a nice garden and cozy pool area. -Nice breakfast buffet. -Spacious rooms. CONS: -Staff is a bit lackadaisical, it's never very clear what's going on at the front desk or pool area. -Pool area is a bit too intimate when there's more than about 4 people there at the same time.

Nice hotel but be cautious

The hotel itself is clean and pretty. Breakfast was great also. What we didn’t like was that we were harassed by a local shop owner. He insisted we buy something from him and we told him we weren’t interested, he took it upon himself to find out our hotel (around the corner) and was told our room number by a staff member. We felt unsafe and uncomfortable the rest of the stay. Every time we passed by he harassed us, he wanted me to trade him a knit sweater I had and went to our hotel to insist I go out and pick something from his store because he really wanted the sweater. This was very unprofessional on the hotels part to allow someone to harass their guests and give a stranger access to our room number.

Rooms are beautiful traditional style but no light so quite dark. Other major comment for hotel is the disappointing breakfast quality when in Tunis we can get the best croissants, the ones served was dry and inedible. A bit of a traditional Tunisian touch (droo3, ftayer, cake traditionnel par ex would have been nice to complete the boutique hotel traditional experience. Service and staff great though. Thanks I will be back 🙏
