    The area was traditional and relatively conservative, and especially at nights was not recommended to walk. This is confirmed by some locals as well. Another point is that was my first time that I was charged for the water in the room! Also there were no other items in the fridge and the restaurant was not open before 7:30. In addition to that, there was no tissue in the room.

    The property is an old building in the old city back to Ottoman Empire era. The rooms with beautiful blue tiles and old wooden doors and windows is a true travel in time! For me, staying in the Palais Bayram overall was a good experience.

    The hotel is lovely, but there was a wedding on the first night we were there. The music was blaring late into the night which made it difficult to sleep, bearing in mind we hardly slept at all as we were flying the night before. Had I been advised well in advance, I would have found an alternative. Nonetheless Saeeda managed the whole situation perfectly and was kind and understanding, so a negative was turned into a positive after all.

    The hotel is a former Palace in the middle of the Tunis Medina. We were upgraded to a beautiful spacious suite upon arrival. Breakfast was good. We received warm, friendly and welcoming service from Saeeda. Saeeda offered us a room to freshen up as we arrived quite early in the day, and she made us feel right at home which was appreciated. Thank you Saeeda for your kindness.

    Everything was fine

    Historical building with the ambiance of the 19th century when it was built for the last governor of the Ottoman Empire. Great wall fayences in the room, room was very big with comfortable bed. I loved the marble bathroom! Nice breakfast with open buffet.

    Unfortunately, this happens from time to time as a woman traveling alone. On my first night, I ate at the hotel restaurant. The food was expensive and unremarkable, but the waiter was very friendly. He offered to show me and other guests the hammam on site. Since he’d offered to others, I felt comfortable enough to agree (first mistake). After my meal, he led me there-everything was dark and closed up, so it was just the two of us. He showed me around, then led me to the massage room. They had a “special” massage oil. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed my arm, giving me a massage. It was weird-he was the waiter, not a masseuse-and I was nervous being alone in a dark room with him. I indicated I was ready to leave. Then he offered me some of the “special oil.” Foolishly, I agreed (second mistake), thinking he’d just give me a small container. As I started to head to my room, he stopped me, saying I looked cold (it was February) and he’d bring up heaters. My room was cold, so I agreed (third mistake). He then asked, “You’re in room 10, right?”-a red flag, since he knew my room number without checking. He brought the heaters and set them up. As he left, he reminded me about the oil and said he’d be right back. I didn’t want it, but my polite Canadian instincts kicked in, so I waited. When he returned, I tried to take the oil at the door, but he insisted on coming in. I told myself it wasn’t that weird (mistake four). He told me to sit down, and before I knew it, I was alone in my room with a strange waiter massaging me. I was terrified. Then he put his hands under my shirt. Finally, I found the courage to tell him to stop. Thankfully, he did, but told me, “Don’t tell anyone.” I then spent six more nights sleeping in fear that he could enter my room at any time. If you decide to stay here, beware. Don’t default to politeness if you feel uncomfortable-something I wish I’d done.

    The property is absolutely stunning and I don't know why others are complaining about the breakfast. Lots of variety every day and especially for the price I thought it was great. The wifi was decent and allowed me to Zoom calls while I was working.

    There isn’t a space to chill - read a book have a juice or coffee. Breakfast in Tunis without orange juice is a big no in my world!!!

    I would have liked a small fan to move air around as the windows open, but our rooms were located on the courtyard, so it felt a bit exposed to open the windows for temperature regulation.

    the rooms were beautiful and historic. the hotel was in the medina where it is primarily pedestrian streets the staff were so accommodating. breakfasts featured local favourites.

    The electricity supply and wifi in the room was a bit variable but it was quickly fixed each time

    Great location (once you find it!) in a quiet part of the medina. The hotel is a wonderful piece of living history, with beautiful rooms with wooden ceilings, wall ceramics, and stone carving. My room was an historic suite, very spacious. Staff at reception and in the restaurant could not have been more helpful. I especially enjoyed having the whole hammam to myself for an hour!!
