I only stayed around 6 hours check in around 8 pm and left around 2:30 am
I was generous with the staff.
but I went down to the restaurant to get dinner from the buffet it was only for 20 minutes when I was back in my room it was clear that someone entered my room I check my stuff I thought I didn’t miss anything (I was tired ) but when I arrived to the airport at the security checkpoint I found out that my new $300 sunglasses is missing that 20 minutes was the only time I was away from my bag so I know someone from the hotel took it and the annoying part I bought the glasses as a gift and it was hard to find.

I like this hotel and as I travel through Tunis regularly I would recommend. However, the check in and check out process is slow and on my last trip the hotel double charged me for a 1 night stay.....disputing it now. I Suspect they don't understand the third party booking process and billing. Maybe they will improve.....

Almost perfect
The customer service manager and the entire customer service team were great. Shout out to the customer service manager that organized a tour of Carthage for me; an unforgettable experience!
I understand saving energy costs, but the room was never really cool due to the fact they don't cool the rooms prior to a guest's arrival and you always need to leave your room key in the slot in order to maintain power. I was rarely comfortable in my room as a result.
The pool is glorious and the buffet breakfasts while repetitive were nutrious, varied and delicious.

Séjour qui s’est bien passé avec une équipe très serviable et à l’écoute, petit bémol pour la réceptionniste qui nous a accueilli, qui manquait de professionnalisme.
Cet établissement a beaucoup de potentiel qui mériterait d’être développé. Une plus grande exigence des managers, particulièrement ceux des femmes de chambres, améliorerait encore la qualité de service et des prestations

Hotel agréable.
Hotel confortable et pas trop loin de la médina. Piscine trop ombragée, avec des barrières autour, ce qui gâche un peu.. Si comme moi vous vous réjouissez quand il y à une salle de sport dans l'hotel, vous allez déchanter. 4 appareils et des poids maxi de 14 k. aucun intérêt. Ça sera go muscul ailleurs. Personnel agréable.
