Incredibly warm and helpful staff, and a beautiful space with stunning historic details — especially in the common areas. We liked being so centrally located in the Medina, and the breakfast was generous and delicious.

A genuine staff with very interesting art throughout the grounds. Very convenient walk to the souk. Fantastic terrace if the weather cooperates. For those unaccustomed to travel in the area, the alleys at night will provide both a sense of adventure and intrigue. Don't let the gritty night walks scare you off.

I can’t say enough great things about this hotel. My wife and I absolutely loved it. Everything about it was wonderful - the room, the decorated building, the comfy rooftop seating, the location in historic Medina. Everything was very clean and modern. But by far the best part of this hotel was the service. The two guys working there were always eager to help us with anything! I’d go back to Tunis just to stay at this hotel again. Five stars in my book.
