Everything super good. The location is super central even though is not easy the access for taxi, as you are literally inside the Medina but still you can reach a super close principal road where you can take taxi. The property itself is super beautiful and really authentic, also the breakfast nothing to say we had a great one and super healthy and fresh. Ricotta was amazing.

The bathroom was not up to the hotel’s standards, it was small, uncomfortable, with old and broken parts.

Very beautiful traditional Tunisian house with lovely collections of traditional pottery and sculptures. Excellent breakfast. Strategic position in the Medina. Very confortable bed and spacious room.

Good location in the medina - walking distance of the main sites. Be careful when ordering taxi as it gets tricky - better give the main road next to it and walk the last 2 min

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).

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.

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.

Location as excellent and staff very friendly and helpful.

People were exceptionally helpful. The wifi is rather slow and breaks often. Nice breakfast

The hotel is old but still cozy. The street has no light and we arrived at night so it was a bit scary. Cleaning could be improved.

Personal was supernice. The hotel is confortable. The breakfast is very good. Our room was big.

The hotel was beautiful and the room was spacious and clean. The hosts were very helpful, and the included breakfast was good.

A few mosquitos; but can’t be helped!!

Location - near the medina and love being part of the courtyard

Shower wasn’t very clean. Staff were pleasant enough but not particularly helpful. Location is ok, but can be a bit dodgy at nighttime. Our room overlooked the alley so was quite noisy. We dropped off clothes to be laundered and this didn’t despite assurances it could be completed in time.

Beautiful old heritage hotel. Wonderful breakfasts served by attentive staff. Beautiful rooftop. Tidy and comfortable room.

Beautiful quiet guesthouse with an amazing rooftop terrace and probably the best breakfast we had in Tunis. Maybe a bit on the expensive side for what they offer but still worth the price

Amazingly beautiful dar with kind and warm staff. The best part of my holiday was taking my breakfast to the roof and enjoying it there. Excellent coffee! The room was beautiful and roomy with a lovely bathroom

Nothing!

Everything was great, from the location to the design to the facilities to the staff. I liked the walk from the Dar to Ez Zitouna Moschee even more than the blue city Sidi Bou Said! The Dar rooftop is great for views and has ample lounging space. The staff is very kind and helpful.

Warm and comfortable Quick walks to the souk/medina Eggs breakfast and smoothie yummy Pretty especially sunny day - There was even a couple doing a shoot one day

Stayed in January 2025

The way walking to it isn’t the nicest but the property itself presents itself so well you quickly forget the unkempt outside streets

Pretty Heating was on which is welcomed arriving on the cold evening ! Slept well thanks The egg breakfast is great if only there’s more savoury and less sweet stuff which we don’t tend to eat that’ll be even more fabulous

Roads in the vicinity are very narrow, but that's understandable as the location is near the Medina

Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful.

I had one problem. My flight was delayed and I arrived later than I expected. it was about 1am. It was dark, I didn't find this hotel right away, I called the reception but no one answered. A local guy from a shop nearby helped me find the hotel and when I checked in, tired after a long flight, the receptionist told me that it was night time and it couldn't be check-in time, although I had booked 2 nights from Friday to Saturday (13th of December) and Saturday to Sunday (14th of December). I arrived on Friday night, which was the time of my booking. If checking in at night is not possible at all, this should be considered in the hotel description.

I really liked this place. I wanted to stay in the historical place in the heart of Tunisian Medina, that's why I booked this hotel. Everything was amazing. I fell in love with interior, food and hospitality of staff. And I'd like to say thank a guy Youssef (I hope I wrote his name correctly), he helps with serving a breakfast and organize food workshops. He's the only person who spoke English really well and I could ask for help in English. It's really crucial as I don't speak French, so only Youssef helped to cope with everything. And I would like to mention the cleanliness, the room was very clean and cosy. Dar Ben Gacem is highly recommended!

nothing to mention, all good, all fine!

I liked the premises of this accommodation (a former palace with collection of artworks) and the location of the accommodation in the beautiful medina of Tunisia's capital city Tunis - in the evening / sunset hours I liked the view from the rooftop terrace - The staff is really friendly and hospitable - My room was big and clean and well equipped - They offered to book me a reliable transfer to the airport (slightly on the expensive side) to be safe to be at the airport in time for check-in

Big room with amazing traditional decoration, rooftop terrace, and a library. Nice and helpful staff, very responsive. Tasty breakfast (especially the omelette). Very good location: around 10 min walk from the Medina on the beautiful rue de Pacha (where there is another, apparently even more luxurious Dar Ben Gacem by the same owners). Highly recommend for all those who want the experience the spirit of old Tunis.

It should be a bit refurnished/refreshed inside the rooms

Nice staff, very nice design

We only stayed for one night but had a great time. The staff helped set up transportation from the airport for 15 EUR. When we arrived, we were shown to our room. The building is beautiful, especially the rooftop. Since we arrived late, they helped us get food. The beds are comfortable, and the bathroom was overall clean. The breakfast was delicious!!
