    Great location, comfortable beds, clean rooms and decent breakfast. Manager of the hotel was exceptional and we really enjoyed engaging with him. He is very helpful and friendly. Well done sir! Location to El Jem is just a walk away. Overall, highly recomend this hotel for those who are planning to stay in town for a day or two.

    Poor soundproofing means it can be loud at night and you can smell smoke in your room. However, putting on the aircon gets rid of both these problems.

    Great location and staff. Comfortable room with Aircon.

    Awful WiFi in rooms. Just as well we had a SIM card with plenty data. Awful restaurant evening meal, breakfast just passable. No three bed rooms in hotel, meaning two rooms for three people (the rooms are easily large enough to allow for this option). This place could do with some serious competition as it arrears they are content to charge high prices in the knowledge that there’s nowhere else in the town itself.

    Well located with good views. Comfortable rooms. Reception and restaurant staff friendly.

    Right next to the train station, it is convenient to walk to the magnificent Roman amphitheatre ruins, which are well-maintained. The museum of mosaics collected from other ruins is also exceptional. Not much else in the town.

    I honestly didn’t have anything to complain about. Everything was fine.

    The hotel is clean and bright with very comfortable with modern facilities. A lovely hot shower and equipment to make coffee or tea in the room. The staff were very friendly and the hotel director Faysal was so helpful, professional and kind. It’s in a perfect location to visit the Roman amphitheater which is literally a 10 minute walk away. There was designated parking with hotel watchman for security. A great place to stay.

    Heating system almost impossible to operate, but very effective once we cracked it.

    Almost everything! Service, food (no alcohol available though), extremely comfortable room, with a terrific view of the amphitheatre from our window. Endless patience with my fractured and largely forgotten French. Location perfect, right next to the railway station and highly visible.

    When you go to El Jem the only thing to do is to visit the fantastic roman amphitheater, and the museum with cool mosaics. Nothing else. If you go on your own (train or louage) you'll probably need a place to stay. This hotel is just the place to stay. Location, convenience and facilities are great.

    The price is a high compared to a small city, the breakfast was poor the bar is a smocking area but it is like this in all the country.

    The location is just perfect, it couldn’t be more central. The Director/manager was very attentive and careful to the details, the room was comfortable and clean, the air conditioner was working well.

    Only negative was the wifi reception in our room was not good enough to hold a solid connection, it would drop out all the time.

    Great location for visiting El Jem amphitheater. Parking directly outside with security. The view from our room was across the amphitheater which was amazing! Large comfortable rooms and the centre area of the hotel has plenty of relaxed space for coffee.
