Dar El Medina

nice staff, nice location, nice design should have a TV and a mini-bar in a room

The staff were excellent. always cheerful and extremely helpful. A credit to the dar! The room was spacious and always clean. On return to our room on Monday there was a welcome basket of fruit and water. That was the only time such a gesture was made. We never met the owners which we thought strange. In most 'boutique' riads we have stayed the owners make an effort to introduce themselves. Breakfast was predictable ie. the same every day. Slice of cake ( which got smaller as the days went on) cucumber,tomatoes and processed cheese then a roll and pancake were brought out and last an egg which on only one day could one say it was a 3 minute egg. On the other days it took 10 minutes to receive what was supposed to be a 3 minute egg but was closer to 5! Very disappointing. There was noise every night as if someone was moving furniture around.

The breakfast was the best we had in Tunisia. The rooms look out onto a central courtyard that can be noisy. Some staff did not speak English. The hotel lost our booking and had to move us to another hotel for the third night.

very individual, characterful hotel, excellent central location, need to approach on foot as it is in medina .Breakfast rather "local" in taste.Phone charges high, Intl = 3.5 TD /min
