    The rooms can be a little bright at night and in the morning so bring an eye cover if you’re sensitive to light!

    Beautiful hotel with wonderful and cooperative staff! The rooms are lovely and spacious and the breakfast is amazingly yummy!

    This is not the hotel's fault, but the medina is quite empty at night with not too many open restaurants around, which made me a little wary walking home/around. The price was a bit high for my budget because they don't offer a single room rate.

    A beautiful, tranquil der with exceptionally friendly hosts. The property is very thoughtfully and tastefully decorated with comfortable common spaces to sit and read or work. I am claustrophobic so requested a room with a window to the outside, and they gave me one (not all hotels care). I appreciated the welcome strawberry juice, comfortable bed ,lovely roof terrace and excellent breakfast of local fresh food. Someone was always available to help with questions, ordering a taxi etc. A great place to stay, especially for solo female travellers.

    No Tea or Coffee making facilities in the guest room. They should at least have a Coffee machine in the common area.

    Staff are very friendly and helpful. Even the come and picked up the luggage from the car and brought it to the room by stair and again on check out they picked the luggage up and brought it to car. Car was parked 300 mts away.

    The hotel is an artwork!

    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Bathroom was very small and water was leaking as a lot in the shower. I think room is nicely decorated but would benefit from a deep cleaning. We asked for dinner on our last night which we understand is exceptionally offered and they were very kind to arrange it for us. However, it was obviously not cooked at the hotel but bought from outside and microwaved and it was totally cold. Given that we paid 50 TND per person for that cold meal, we regret our decision to have dinner at the hotel and should have eaten out.

    It is a truly beautiful hotel, the courtyard is just an artwork, so is the breakfast room. We admired the architecture during our stay. Our room was OK but not as nice as the other parts of the hotel. Nevertheless, it was a decent room. Breakfast came with many varieties and was very delicious. Unlike other hotels where we were only served with packed stuff, this hotel was an exception. We also enjoyed the sunsets at the terrace where view is very nice. Staff were very helpful, they made a few calls for us when we could not communicate with our car rental company.

    Lack of attention to little details, like broken or missing handles. Property description not accurate ( probably a Booking.com error rather than the hotel)Immediate surrounding area not nice.

    Youssef helped us a lot during our stay. I think it was the best part, because we arrived in Tunis at night - for the first time in the country - and we did not know how the city works. Besides that, the hotel is fantastic and beautiful. I fully recommend it.

    Would have been good to have a kettle in the room to make coffee in the early morning before breakfast

    Beautiful Tunisian architecture and rooms. Nice roof top with view. Conveniently located. Staff were very friendly and helpful, felt like home. It was my husband’s birthday- they got cake, candles and brought it out with music after breakfast. Booked taxis on Bolt app for our trips and came out to make sure we got into the right taxi.

    There’s nothing we didn’t like. Everything was great, right down to the last detail.

    First, this hotel is nestled in the absolute heart of Tunis‘ striking Medina. Second, the staff are incredibly kind and helpful — they were always there to assist with a smile and made us feel 100% comfortable and cared for. The rooftop terrace is great, the library is a great touch and the breakfast is lovely. This place really does feel like the whole package and a great way to discover Tunis.

    carpets in room should be cleaned more often

    personnel was polite and helpful, excellent breakfast, building is a renovated historic place, state of the art, atmosphere is calm and relaxing, odoring is incredible (jasmin), handmade traditional pottery collection is unique, neighborhood, flea market and stores are authentic, offering unique hamdmade items in reasonable prices, not affected much by consumptionism and tourism, it is a transfer back in time, making you feel appreciation for the culture of muslims and tunisian people

    The 3rd night some youngsters stayed next to our room. 2 arrived at 2AM (full of passion), the other at 4 AM. Suffice to say I did not get a lot of sleep that night. You can also get quite some nice from the street.

    Very close to the most beautiful street in the Medina, rue du Pacha. Beautiful dar, with a nice roof terrace. Large breakfast, taken in the breakfast room (one long table). Helpful staff. Ok WIFI.

    Compared to their other location, the rooms felt more cramped and in close proximity to other rooms.

    Very large rooftop with plenty of seating to relax on a nice day. The library was stocked with an eclectic collection of books. Breakfast was delicious with a chakshuka and omelette for the two days we stayed. The guest rooms were very well decorated with great quality amenities. A wonderful addition to the Dar Ben Gacem portfolio of accommodations.

    Nothing, it was such a neat experience and a great intro to Tunis.

    My flight from TUN to Djerba was cancelled and I booked in here because if the great reviews. Slim, the concierge, went above and beyond to make sure I arrived safely. He walked me through the taxi process from TUN -- even helping me navigate with a video call. He gave me an electricity converter. He totally saved my vacation and gave me such a great impression of Tunisia. I talked to the others at the (extraordinary) breakfast and Slim had helped others similarly. The place itself is like a stately fortress within the souk. It's a pretty direct walk to the mosque.
