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.

I stayed 2 nights in this wonderful hotel. The location is excellent, in Victoria Square where Avenue Habib Bourguiba meets with Tunis Medina through the gate of the city called Beb Bhar. The hotel itself is unique in decoration.
Room view is outstanding, comfortable, all amenities available in toilet. Breakfast buffet is very nice, friendly staff and service.

Perfect location, lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Balcony was perfect for people watching. Helpful staff replenished ice as little fridge didn’t seem to work well. Breakfast is quite a local flavor.

I’ve stayed twice and will say the rooms are ok and the breakfast is great. The location is excellent if you want to see “real Tunis” because if you walk three blocks away from the Medina the city gets more interesting
