Dar Ya is in the middle of the medina. I do advise getting there in the daylight hours as it’s hard to find otherwise and a bit creepy. Staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful. All of Tunisia really. Place was clean and bathrooms were accessible etc. Breakfast was good as well-basic Tunisia fare and adequate.

Interesting location in the Medina. There are a couple of good local restaurants within 5 mins of walking. Breakfast was good. We were there for 3 nights and breakfast was the same but sufficient. Shared washrooms/showers were ok. They kept the washrooms clean. The only issue is the bedrooms all open up to the centre breakfast area which can be noisy in the morning. And minimal privacy.

Dar Ya is conveniently located in Tunis’ medina with friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms and common areas, nice rooftop terrace, and great breakfast (both sweet and savoury options available). One downside was that the wifi was only available in the common courtyard, but not too big of a deal as there’s plenty of seating there.

This property is a real gem. Easy walk down to the Medina but very quiet and out of the way. A bit tricky to find but the amazing staff met me out on the street and showed me in. All staff members were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the breakfast was wonderful. I loved this property!

Beautiful and friendly hostel

Lovely hostel, great friendly staff who always greeted us with a smile, really nice breakfast. Really good location in the Medina, near all the sites but also quiet, and absolutely beautiful looking hostel with all the tiles. Rooftop terrace was a great bonus with lovely views of the city. 10/10.

Great value and friendly staff

The three staff I met at the hostel were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always available and willing to provide information about places to eat and how to get around. I had a single room and it was beautifully decorated and very warm (perfect since it was cold outside). The breakfast was much bigger than I would expect at a hostel and was an incredible deal. Located in the heart of the Medina, Dar Ya Hostel was a great place to stay.

This is called a hostel simply because of the shared toilets and shower rooms, but the rooms are individual rooms and are beautiful and clean. It is few minutes away from the main part of souk. I gave it a 4 because I don't like having to walk out of my bedroom to get to the toilet in the middle of the night.

Beautiful house with warm welcome

This is a beautiful house, close to the heart of the Tunis medina. The room was very spacious and we enjoyed eating breakfast in the covered courtyard. The rooftop terrace has a good view but there were no tables or chairs. The host spoke good English and gave us excellent advice for finding local vegetarian food.
