We arrived here on our final night in Tunisia, wanting to splash out a bit, thinking it was where you could hang out and be seen. Even though there was an annual cultural festival going on in the area, the hotel was dead, we and another couple were the only one's there. Still, good service, just don't expect it to... More

We had a wonderful time staying here for 3 nights as we travelled Tunisia. The staff are very helfpul and the food is very good. The decor is traditional and our room had a view out onto the internal courtyard which was great. Tunis is certainly an interesting city that is well worth a visit and we found the Tunisian... More

The hotel is beautifully remodeled and is excellently located. Right in the center of the Medina and yet very close to the Kasbah so you can catch a cab very easily. Every room is different with simple taste and we were fortunate enough to be in a low season to be able to visit several rooms before landing on the... More

I was actually at this hotel in nov 2011 for seven nights. I was initially so excited about staying at this property being a renovated arab mansion , but this soon turned to utter despair. The location was outstanding being housed within the medina. The smell of sewage permiating up from the cobbled stoned street outside was overwhelming to say... More

It is a beautiful building, full of lovely and exotic nooks and crannies. The rooms do vary, we started with Chama on the ground floor. It is very ornate and unusual but because it opened onto the courtyard, quite dark and I have to say a slight smell of drains which caused us to move to Yasmin upstairs. A less... More

It is a friendly hotel, similar in concept to a Moroccan riad, close to the edge of the medina, and like a riad its charm is based on being largely modelled in local, traditional style. We stayed in Fella, a double room on the first floor, which had a double bed, small sofa, air conditioning and its own bathroom. The... More

This property is in a perfect location to explore authentic Tunis. I think everything you want to do, if you're walking, is in this area. The area felt safe, at least for an experienced male traveler This is not a typical western-style property but it is very authentic. The staff was very good and most spoke enough English. The young... More

Our room was a 5 minute walk from reception past 'market' shops where they stand outside and CONSTANTLY try to drag you in and pester you... More

We chose the Dar El Medina as our base for a two night stay in Tunis, and we didn't regret our choice. The hotel is in a lovely old building a minute walk from the edge of the Medina, with the surrounding area is one of the nicest, tidiest parts. The building itself is very old, but has been beautifully... More

I am sure there are many places to stay in Tunis, but not in the Medina and since we wanted to stay in the heart of the Medina, this was one of our only options, but so worth it. The hotel itself is beautiful and although we did not have one of the expensive rooms, it was absolutely fantastic. Beautifully... More
