One tiny bottle of water per day per room when it is so cheap to buy in Tunis!

The hotel had a lovely charm and was ornately decorated. Good air conditioning and a comfortable bed. I missed Western things like tea and coffee-making facilities in the room. An iron and ironing board would have been a plus, too. It had a great breakfast!

The coffee at breakfast could be improved and perhaps a choice of black tea. The fridge was a bit dysfunctional, but the lady who came to resolve that and my lack of knowledge about the TV dongle, was lovely.and helpful.

Very good welcome and professional reception staff. Good breakfast and hospitable breakfast staff. The place is quite charming and is positioned well for train station access, the Medina and the main boulevard with Little Ben at one end. Beautiful view from the balcony overlooking the square.

Overall, everything was nice. The mattress was a little old, and the refrigerator didn't cool very well. It really didn't make much difference though as we slept well and we went downstairs to the café if we needed a cold drink. Taking our luggage in and out was a little difficult as parking was at a premium, but we managed with help from the staff.

Great location right next to the entrance to the souk. All of the staff was incredible. Friendly and accommodating to our needs. The breakfast buffet was good with lots of choices. The café below was a great place to hang out. The hotel was historic and the decor was very interesting. Overall, it was a nice time there for 3 nights.

Parking is extremely hard and time consuming. Breakfast can be improved very easily.

The location is perfect. It’s next to the Medina right in the heart of Tunis. The hotel decor is beautiful (the tiles are very nice). The staff is very friendly as well. The facilities are clean.

The facilities and the cleanliness.

The hotel has very nice decorations but is very outdated as well. The location is near the Medina and other sightseeing places. The facilities don’t meet one’s needs. The daily cleaning is not up to standard. As I’ve seen some hair, dust and small pieces of tissue left on the floor during my stay. Overall it’s still good for tourists to walk around in the old town and to find restaurants.

Our air conditioning was broken so we had a fan which was fine but might be a problem if hotter weather Expensive water would advise to buy elsewhere!

Great location Good breakfast and nice decor

Nothing.

Firstly, it was great to reserve a Taxi in advance through Booking.com since this is our first time stepping foot into the African continent. It was so convenient to have someone with a sign looking for you by the airport exit. I love the location of the Hotel Royal Victoria because it's right next to the Souks marketplaces which is like a maze if you are not careful. Cafe, restaurants and banks are nearby. The hotel staffs are unbelievably helpful and friendly. I never thought learning a foreign language can be so challenging until I tried learning a little Arabic. When I realized at least 50% of the people in Tunis also speak French, I felt so relief. The room, the lobby and the hallway are as ornate as you see in their photos. The mosaic tiles are stunning. Oh, I love the breakfast. The kitchen staff (the cook) was so wonderful so I tipped her every morning. Since we were staying there for 3 days, I was able to try everything from Omelet to pastries to "believe it or not, eggplant".

Completely fine- helpful friendly staff

My room lacked any real air conditioning.The system moved air but failed to cool it,so I slept with windows open. In the summer months this might be a problem. The bustling plaza in front of the hotel becomes quiet at night-until about 6 a.m. when motor traffic can be heard.

The location ,at the Medina's edge,is the main advantage of this hotel. Next is the heritage character of the building itself.Third ,the wonderful outdoor cafe attached to the hotel. Hotel's restaurant is pretty good. Breakfast was acceptable.I appreciated the fresh strawberries and oranges each morning. Pleasant front office ,restaurant and cleaning staff.

Communication with the reception was not consistent. Lack of facilities available to guests - eg tea and coffee making facilities. We would not recommend booking any tours or taxi services through the reception.

Great location, quirky place to stay in the heart of the Medina. The room cleaning staff were amazing, super attentive and did a great job.

Two minor points: -Wifi within the hotel can be very slow and spotty (note: this was true at all the other hotels we stayed at too, NOT just the HRV, so no 'rating deductions' were made for this). Easiest solution is to just use cellular data on your phone. It should not be a big deal for most people as you can get 25GB for only about 10Euros when you land at the Tunis airport (2025 May). Unless livestreaming sports, that will be more than enough for several weeks of travelling. -The mini-fridge (initially) did not work. The reason was because it was tightly housed in a wooden 'cube/case' which was uncomfortably warm. Suspecting insufficient air circulation, we managed to slide the fridge out of the wooden cube/stand and onto the floor. Sure enough, the top surface of the fridge was insanely hot to the touch. While there were six holes on the back of the cube, it was not enough as the other four sides were almost touching the walls/top/bottom of the fridge. After about 30-45 min sitting on the floor of the room, you could comfortably touch the exterior, and the inside of the fridge was finally cooling things. For the rest of the trip we consistently had cold water/drinks and it even formed a bit of ice! keeping the fridge on the floor (vice inside the cabinet) was a bit of a pain in the arse to step over, but it was worth it. Before departing, we shoved the fridge back into the wooden cube (where it probably started to run hot again). We forgot to inform the management of what happened when we checked out. Overall, it was a minor inconvenience, but if the hotel management is reading this, I recommend those wooden cubes that house the mini-fridges be thrown out or burned as firewood. Your fridges will run a lot easier, and cut your power bills immensely. Don't take either of these as a recommendation against the HRV. Just be aware of them, as I suspect similar problems may occur anywhere else too.

Great location. We were lucky to have a view of the square. Staff were all very helpful and great.
