Hotel very nice, Service and communication expandable
Pros:

The rooms were very nice and clean. The house itself is very beautiful. Breakfast was very good.

Cons:

Communication in advance and after our stay was quite difficult. I didn’t get any response to my messages and questions in advance. Finally, I reached them via Instagram. They promised us an airport shuttle to the hotel but no driver was there. In addition, I forgot something in the hotel and wrote them to keep it so that I can pick it up one week later after my road trip. They didn’t reply; and of course they couldn’t find it when I showed up one week later to pick it up. This was disappointing.

Découverte de la médina de Tunis demande quelques sacrifices
Pros:

le charme de la maison et son histoire, l'accueil et la gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

la situation et l'accessibilité le soir, rue bruyante avec passage de mobylette malgré la fermeture des fenêtres
petit déjeuner médiocre comme dans toutes les Dar qu'on a fréquentées . boissons basiques avec thé ou café , citronnade, petit suisse sucré et baguette de pain blanche...pas beaucoup de fruits hormis quelques de tranches de melons ou pastèques.
Nous avons été frustrés pas les petits fours préparés pour une réunion dans la salle à manger!
l'offre chambre sans petit déjeuner n'existe pas

Pros:

L’hôtel est situé en plein cœur de la Medina, il a beaucoup de charme. Le personnel est aux petits soins.

Cons:

Nous avions réservé une chambre avec 2 lits simples mais nous avons finalement eu un lit double. Il n’y avait pas non plus tout le matériel indiqué (pas de télé, pas de sèche cheveux)

Pros:

Incredibly warm and helpful staff, and a beautiful space with stunning historic details — especially in the common areas. We liked being so centrally located in the Medina, and the breakfast was generous and delicious.

A fine home from home in the Medina of Tunis
Pros:

This is a small boutique hotel in an old private house, converted to have 8 bedrooms. They have a tremendous ceramic collection. Really nice, artistic feel, personalised treatment.

Cons:

I think the room could have been upgraded a touch more. The structure of the place was authentic and beautiful, but the modern touches could have been a little better thought out. But at least it was personal and not corporate. Also, the hotel is in a pretty grim side alley (once you have spent some time there, it no longer feels threatening).

Beautiful Dar, excellent location, great stay.
Pros:

Location as excellent and staff very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Arriving during Eid followed by a Sunday meant no restaurants were open, some provision at the hotel would have been useful and it would have been great to be able to have ice.
No team making facilities but Jude’s allowed me to use the kitchen any time.

failed to live up to promise.
Pros:

Aziz was very good and it's a great location. the hotel itself is also a lovely building.

Cons:

despite what the booking site said the hotel is unable to offer on site secure parking. which was one of the key reasons I booked it. my two attempts to confirm this met with no answer. so when I arrived, late at night in the rain by motorbike I was very disappointed to find I had to use a local cat park, ten minutes away.

the bathroom was also not properly cleaned and the. air con did not work.

no attempt made to compensate me didn't help
