Paola

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was dirty. Bathroom smelled. Decor was great, however I would prefer a cleaner room and less decor. The staff was OK, Rim, the cleaning lady and cook was AMAZING!!! Only reason I enjoyed my stay there. She is so hospitable, kind and sweet. And her coffee is the BEST!!! The internet was horrible!!! I even complained to the front desk personnel, nothing was done. Sooo slow could not even connect at times. I loved the area, the Old Medina is Great, walkable and close to restaurants and cafes. Tunisians are humble and loving people.

Full of character and very welcoming staff. Perfect if you want a hotel that is unique, full of charm and history right at the heart of the Medina. The roof terrace with different seating areas is a bonus. might not suit those who like the big hotel chains, but I would choose this every time.

Dar Ben Gacem is beautiful, welcoming, and the perfect location to enjoy the Tunis medina and its best cafes. The staff is super helpful, always available, and really caring. The women who prepare and serve the amazing breakfast (Shakshouka!) are so kind. The rooms are amazing but so are the common areas, and the place is full of beautiful books about Tunisia.

Amazing guesthouse from the 1600s with great antiques, right in the middle of La Medina. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful and went out of their way to help make dinner reservations, show me local lunch places, help me with a cab to the airport, etc.

Interesting hotel but varying room qualities
A pleasant hotel with friendly service and good location that serves as a great introduction to the historic Tunis. We enjoyed the breakfast and exploring areas of the hotel. An airport transfer was arranged that cost 30 Tunisian dinar. Our room was interesting but much smaller and less comfortable (including the shower room) than expected from the pictures so we felt overcharged and less happy than we might have been overall.

Incredible guesthouse with really friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was fantastic. Lovely local feel to the place, nice architectural touches and great location in the medina, although just enough away from the hustle and bustle to be a little oasis. Really highly recommended.

Great boutique hotel that oozes character from youths minute you step through the front door. It is well positioned right near the Markets in the old town. The staff were some of the most friendly that I have ever encountered & they really went out of their way ( particularly Mr Daali) to ensure we a most memorable & comfortable stay. Will definitely return there when traveling back to Tunis.

Something traditional
We had a nice time at Dar Ben-Gacem. It was well located and the service was great. Our room was very quiet and spacious. It was great to see something traditional. The breakfast on the last day was great, and we enjoyed the coffee and delicious fruit every morning and they are happy to give more of everything. There is a beautiful roof deck with an amazing view of the medina. The downsides: the room gets very warm if the air conditioning was not running as there were only two very small windows for air. Other rooms appeared to have much better windows. There was only a tub in our room, which made taking showers difficult. The breakfast was bread, cheese, and fruit on two of our three days, which is a bit plain, but there were good eggs the last day. There may have been eggs for other days as well, but we did not ask so that may be our fault. The room was clean but the floors are traditional so a bit dusty, and the rugs on the floor and around the bed are worn.

A stunning property. Beautifully furnished with period features. Rooms are cosy (unless you stay in a suite) but they have copious attention to detail. Lovely communal areas. Not centrally heated so it can get cold in December. Delightful staff.
