The room is very stylish and located in the very central location. The shower head in our room is broken and the hotel should maintain their facilities well.

This hotel is located at the entrance of the old city in the center of Tunis, facing the main street Bourguiba Avenue, with convenient transportation. The hotel has a very Tunisian national style. The breakfast is also good, and the front desk service is warm and helpful. This hotel is a good choice for traveling to Tunisia.

The room is very Tunisian, but the equipment is old and the breakfast is average. I bought two bottles of water and they charged me 10 dinars, which is very expensive. And there was dirt in the kettle after boiling the purified water I bought. I don't recommend staying here for business trips

The hotel looks good from the outside. The elevator and corridors make you feel like you have traveled back to more than 100 years ago. It is really in disrepair and has not been updated for a long time. The highlight is that the hotel is right next to the old city, and you can experience the atmosphere of the Arab market Breakfast, the picture above is for reference. . .

The location is very good, right at the main entrance of the ancient city, with the Porte de France at the door and the main attractions nearby. It's not far from the train station and can be reached on foot. The hotel itself is a historical building. Although it is very old, the rooms are clean. The service staff at the front desk and restaurant are very enthusiastic.

The Royal Victoria Hotel, the former British Embassy, ​​has a first-class location, just at the entrance to the old city of Medina. It is very convenient whether you are visiting the Medina or going to the old city. Because it is an old building with a retro scenery, the elevator still has a manual door, but the facilities are a bit outdated and the room is not big, so it is not convenient for washing and drying during long distance travel.
