Wunderschönes Hostel in einem Herrenhaus der Stadt. Hervorragender, sehr hilfsbereiter Herbergswirt. Im Hochsommer aber unbedingt 4-Bett-, nicht 2-Bettzimmer buchen, da letztere fensterlos und stickig sind.

Pas pour un couple !
Problème de réservation entre le site et l'hôtel, ce qui nous vaut une nuit en dortoir. Puis 3 nuit dans une "chambre double", qui est en fait un dortoir (avec des lits jumeaux donc) séparé par des paravents.

Das Personal der Unterkunft, insbesondere Munir, nimmt seine Aufgabe als Leiter einer Jugendherberge sehr ernst. Man wird in ein nettes Gespräch verwickelt und ein paar gute Tipps für den Aufenthalt.

Die Leute vor Ort sind so liebevoll und freundlich! Ein Zimmer in dem Sinne kann man nicht erwarten, es sind im Grunde Ecken mit Trennwand, sprich keine eigenen Räume. Geschlechtergetrennte Bäder gibts nicht. 1 Dusche/Toilette für alle im oberen Teil des Gebäudes. Nach mir wurde liebevoll gefragt, nachdem ich zum Frühstück nicht erschien weil ich verschlafen hatte aber als ich am nächsten Morgen kam war ich geschockt. Es gab nur Kaffee mit Milch, Zitronen Konfitüre, Butter und abgeschnittene Baguette Stückchen. Mehr nicht. Also für einen Kurzaufenthalt mitten in der Medina von Tunis für Menschen die nichts erwarten ist das vllt was aber für mehr nicht.
