Dar Ben Gacem

I left a piece of my heart in Tunisia and want to come back, for the lovely hotel, kind Mohammad, and that amazing breakfast. Our room could have been cleaner, but I miss staying there so much. 🤍❤️

The terrace was gorgeous, with lovely views and the sound of several calls to prayer. I also recommend heading to the nearby Ramadan square and stopping at the little bakery for a chapati. I spent two nights here in September in the most beautiful room I’ve ever seen. The staff were lovely and helpful, and breakfast was delicious.

The old building is lovely and the Medina location is convenient, but the stay didn’t live up to what I expected from a four-star property. It felt more like a guest house. The rooms have older decor that suits the building, which is fine, but they’re poorly equipped. The bathrooms weren’t pleasant, the fridge was empty, and there was no water or tea and coffee setup. The rooftop could be used for much more, perhaps sunset drinks. Breakfast was identical each day, with everyone seated at one table, which didn’t suit me. On my last morning I asked to have it in my room, but nobody checked when I wanted it or what I wanted. There’s potential here, but I think management needs to rethink things.

Right in the middle of the Medina, this is a lovely little boutique hotel. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, and the woman making breakfast is an amazing cook. Highly recommend ❤️
