I really enjoyed my stay

The hotel is nice, big and relaxed. The staff is very nice and speak some English which is a rarity. The room was clean and the hotel is close to the desert. You can also get a trip through the hotel and they are very competitively priced. The breakfast was basic but tasty (better than in other hotels in Tunisia). Being close to the desert, it is quite a distance from town but the hotel can call a taxi which was also very reasonably priced. Overall, I would definitely recommend.

Nice hotel with a beautiful and huge outside pool. Rooms are spacious and shower has good pressure. But they need to improve cleaning between guests because we find hair inside the tub and garbage in one nightstand. Douz is a small town, so you are close to all main roads connecting the main attraction. We got the Half board which includes breakfast and diner. There were plenty of option on both. Food was tasty and fresh. During breakfast there was an omelete station and during dinner there was a grill station with different options every night. Only complain is that they don’t give you free water. Overall I highly recommend for the cost-benefit.

Liked: Staff & service
This hotel has so much potential if they renovate a bit, it stands at a low-income country quality, more a 3-star than a 4. I guess it was amazing at his peak back in the days. Staff is super nice and welcoming. The room are okay, outdated but comfortable, except the pillows that are cheap. No bugs. Bathroom are clean but need a good scrub to be perfect. I was there out of season so it was super calm, unfortunately amenities listed were not available like the interior pool and spa, the restaurant Ă  la carte, and Cafe. The breakfast buffet was good and diverse, I didn't took the supper option, but it looked good too.The exterior pool was open, clean enough to swim, but the ceramic joints needed a scrub. Briefly it was good enough for a two-day stay, but would not stay for a week or something like that. I booked with a discount, but at full price, I don't thing I would have picked this hotel.

Very satisfied in the Sahara!

My stay in this hotel was fantastic in every way! Led by a terrific hotel manager, ALL of the employees went over and above their normal duties to be sure that my experience was perfect. The location was perfect for exploring the Sahara and for shopping at the market, the service was impecable, the hotel beautifully kept - I could not have been happier!

Good option for Douz

Excellent facilities and very large property. Nice pool and atmosphere in the evening. Very nice interior, a bit dated but it has its charm. The buffet dinner was very good for vegetarian and good value. Attentive staff too. Compared to other hotels in the area, this is much nicer. Lot of tour group use it. Very good value for money and I would gladly stay at any of their hotels again.

Good stay

I was worried with all the bad reviews, but this place was perfect for an overnight stop before going to the desert. It costs 20 dinar (~$6 USD) to park there overnight, however, the parking has a guard and roof so it is worth it. We also left our bags there. There is no wifi in the rooms, but honestly, I tethered through my Google Fi phone connection in most places in Tunisia anyway. Overall a good stay.

Mouradi -Douz

Nice hotel for a stay in Douz. Staff is friendly. We had a junior suite which was quite spacious. The pool is very clean and staff of hotel friendly and helpful. The only negative aspect of this hotel is the dining room. This hotel caters lots of tours. Bus load of turists in dining room. Service is rushed and atmosphere not that pleasant. Food is very basic and not the best we had in Tunisia.

Great experience at El Mouradi Douz!

I must admit...because another hotel in Zone Touristique had received a better review in Lonely Planet, we tried to make a reservation there first. But no other hotels were able to accommodate my wife, myself, and our two teen sons in the same room. El Mouradi Douz gave us a great half-board rate and a HUGE, recently remodeled suite for our family to share. The gentlemen at the reception desk were very helpful in giving us advice about guides and activities in the Sahara. We were very pleased with our entire experience at El Mouradi Douz!

El Mouradi Douz

The El Mouradi DOuz is in a very good location if attending the Sahara Festival. It does not yet appreciate the necessity of providing advertised services ie internet in rooms or even the lobby area. It also is very cold in the public rooms and it was necessary to wear coats and hats to dinner and breakfast. Rooms were a good size but the mattresses were like rock.

Less than tw stars hotel

Too much less staff to attend to your basic needs (most of the time , nobody at the reception and sometimes you call from the room, but no reply). Terrible food, and more than that, while checking out they do not want to give you any invoice or proper receipt , and they they try to convince you that this is normal (it is too much weired). It seems that they are getting used to groups only.

It’s ok hotel if you need to spend a night before Sahara Desert tour. Outdated facility, although the foyer and entrance are grand and built on massive scale but got stuck in 70th era . Breakfast was poor, very limited. No natural juice options only instant drinks. Coffee it could hardly call it coffee you would not be able to drink it. No butter- margarine option only .

Broken Promises

This hotel met only my basic needs. The air conditioning in my room never got cold enough, leaving the room stuffy throughout my stay. In addition, it was impossible to connect to the internet anywhere in the hotel throughout my stay. The hotel advertised both the air conditioning and the internet in its Hotels.com listing. I cannot reward a business that does not follow through on its promises.
