    The rooms were cold. It seemed like they were doing their best to be an upmarket hotel but a lot missing, I had to ask for wifi code, tv wasnt working, no instructions about anything in the room, not even fire escape information. No bin in the bathroom. Staff did their best but need a bit more training. No one on checkout when I left. No lift, so you may have to carry bags up a few flights of stairs. Quite a way out of town.

    It is trying to be a boutique hotel but just missing the mark a bit. Good clean rooms, Breakfast excellent

    For a new hotel there was NO lift, if this is important to you. Breakfast was basic but sufficed. WI FI kept dropping out. As there are only two hotels in El Jem, this one is about a 41-minute walk out of the town. Basically, in the middle of nowhere. You need to get reception to call you a taxi and it is about a 15-minute wait. However, it served it's purpose. Hotel Julius is right next to the train station and the amphitheatre.

    Nice new hotel and friendly staff.

    Had to purchase an additional room or find an alternative because I was traveling with friends of the opposite gender. It you're going to El Jem, there's a hotel that's much closer to the monument.

    The water pressure, heat and facilities were spotless. The hotel is dead quiet and remote.

    Unfortunately, the restaurant and the bar do not match the quality of the hotel.

    The hotel is really well kept, perfectly neat and in order. Far above Tunisian standards to be honest. Personnel very educated and available.

    Dar Ammar is located just outside the highway exit to El Djem, where the traffic is not crazy. I was on a road trip, so it worked well for me. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Cute welcome lemonade drink at check-in. Decent dinner.

    The ashtray on the balcony with cigarette butts, the balcony furniture is dirty, no floor towel, no glasses in the room. Service in the restaurant was strange: white pasta with seafood turned out to be harissa pasta with tune from the can

    The rooms are spacious and shower is good.

    The location isn’t central, so you’ll need a taxi to get into the heart of El Jem. Also, taxis can be unreliable. We asked the hotel to book one for the airport at 7:30 am, and they were adamant it had been arranged - but it never showed up. Reception couldn’t reach the driver and didn't provide proof or details of the booking, so we still don’t know if it was ever properly confirmed. Because of that, we missed our flight, which was incredibly frustrating. A private individual kindly offered to take us - for half the price - but by then it was too late. Definitely worth arranging transport independently and having a backup plan.

    The hotel has a lot going for it. Staff were generally warm and welcoming, and most seemed to take pride in their work - from catering to housekeeping to the day-to-day running of the hotel. We booked one room but were pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade to two rooms connected by an internal door. It felt like a private suite for the price of one. The bathroom was clean, spacious, and modern, and the rooms were cleaned daily, including the toilet. The hotel was quite busy with international tourists, which shows how popular it is. Despite that, it felt very safe and well-managed, with proper on-site security throughout. There’s also an astroturf football pitch nearby that’s open to the public. We didn’t use it, but it was good to have close by.

    At the time of my booking, it indicates that there is a swimming pool, however it is not exist in reality, I suppose it is under construction, I can see some excavation work at the back yard of the hotel. The facilities in the room is really undesirable, the worst I met in my 21 days trip in Tunisia, just list some: 1. no air conditioning - you got central circulation of air without air conditioning; 2. broken chair provide in side; 3. no glass in room, 4. sliding door to balcony cant be locked; 5. no lift to upper floor. The breakfast and dinner is something below average, the staff for the dinner is invisible, you have either find the opposite fast food stall staff to find him or you find him in the kitchen !!! The food quality of the dinner is really below average in Tunisia.

    The welcome drink is good idea to please guest. There are not many guest at the time of our stay, it is really quiet, the hotel is located at a place about 5 minutes away from town and there is no building around so it is very safe with a guard controlled gate for in and out.
