The place is nice, but it is little more 'than a bed and breakfast: for the prices that are 200 euro per night in Tunisia is ... crazy!
When we saw the room that we had thought we had given up and dropped a small room with nothing special, and we asked if we could see another room, we have seen other 2 ... but they were all like that! Sure the place is central (in Medina) and the breakfast is very good (but it is a breakfast), but it is completely out of money!

I am not sure that there is much point in reviewing Tunisian hotels at the moment but thought I should post something anyway.
This hotel is in a wonderful position right in the medina of Tunis. It is quiet and comfortable but not luxurious. The staff are generally helpful but they do have some difficulty with English.The rooms are all different and are generally fairly small. Our room had a raised area for the bed which was quite dangerous at night and our bathroom was fairly dark with nowhere to put your toiletries but our son and a friend had rooms with much better bathrooms. The breakfast was nice although it got a bit boring having the same thing everyday for 4 days and the service at breakfast was a bit Faulty Tower- ish. Overall though it was a pleasant place to stay and all the good restaurants are within easy walking distance at night.

I stayed in the Dar El Medina on a short trip to Tunis with my wife and two sons (11 & 13). The hotel itself is stunning, a beautiful old building renovated to a high standard. Excellent rooms, clean and spacious, and the bathroom similarly clean with good water supply and fresh toiletries each day. Our rooms shared a courtyard which was perfect for relaxing before going out or coming back in the evening. There was no television but I didn't mind that. I don't think that the hotel had it's own wi-fi connection but I was able to pick up a free signal from somewhere nearby.

The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful when asked. The public areas of the hotel were well-kept and there is a gorgeous sitting room to the rear of reception that we didn't find until the final day. Breakfast was copious if rather bland and provided enough food to keep you going until tea-time.

The hotel is located in one of the more upmarket streets of the Medina but it will take you at least a day to orient yourself. If you're taking a taxi there ask to be taken to the Place du Gouvernement and be prepared to walk at least 5 minutes from there to the hotel. Next door to the hotel there is an excellent cafe/bookshop and further along the street is a stunning restaurant, the Dar El Harroun.

For those who wish to stay in the heart of Tunis rather than in the more homogenous tourist areas the Dar el Medina is ideal, I have already recommended it to several friends.

Tunis is not blessed with either large nice hotels or Riad-type alternatives, and the Dar el Medina is unique in the latter category (the competitor is in Sidi Bou Siad, the dar Said which is lovely but out of town although great for seeing sites around Carthage and there is a convenient train line into Tunis). Rooms are all different, furnished with antiques, comfortable (some wifi issues in one room--we moved), and bathroom in need of sealing a leak around a ceiling sky light). Friendly young staff, copious breakfast. You have to walk to the hotel on foot, no direct taxi access. Place du Kasbah and taxi stand is a short walk. Near top rated tourist-oriented restos in the medina, and a few paces from the main Mosque and the medina's heart. The part of the medina where the hotel is situated is a revovated quarter free of all the bustle. Yet you can walk to the new town and its restos and cafés in 20 mins (same to closest stop on the metro line to the Bardo), a bit more on foot to the main train station . But no need to walk unless you want to--Taxis are inexpensive to get around. The Dar el Medina is expensive--our room "Beya" was quite large and comfortable and we slept well even though it gave on the pedestrain street in front--B&B was €180 (free wifi connectivity). Yet I did not see any other hotel in town I'd rather stay at. Friends were at the Palace where published rate is higher and it would not be to my taste. You can find cheaper (Continental) but this is unique, in the medina, and if I return to Tunis I would stay here or in Sidi Bou Said.
