Ok hotel

Fine hotel. Good location. Nice room although shower attachment didn’t work. Quite noisy at night. Smoky in all the common areas - room was Ok though. Mr Salah in the restaurant was excellent. Nice good & breakfast. Rather overpriced though.

Clean and comfortable for a short stay.

The room was comfortable and had a spectacular view of the amphitheater. Breakfast was sparce, so we didn't bother. The one negative is the smoke from the lobby does waft up to the rooms, even on the third floor. It's unfortunate they allow smoking indoors at hotels in Tunisia. But this hotel is great for a quick stay if you're there to see the sites. The staff was very friendly.

Short stay

Nice hotel with a nice view. Internet is abysmal, do not consider it as available as it seldom works. A tad noisy on weekends (as per other comments here). Breakfast adequate of a 3 star. Area, outside of the Coliseum, is interesting for an afternoon or a day at best.

The hotel and cafe were vey nice and clean . The staff was excellent. The restaurant for supper was mediocre and limited. It was empty in the evening and I suspect the food was not fresh because of very few customers. At breakfast, the fruit was not fresh and the coffee was terrible.

The amount of cigarette smoke inside the lobby and hallways is ridiculous. They said they could not take credit card, cash only. I had to make the booking through Expedia to avoid another ATM fee. The rooms are clean, but are showing their age.

This property is very conveniently located in easy walking distance to the amphitheater and archeological museum in El Djem. We came by train and it was very close to the train station. There are only a few trains a day so train noise is not a problem. The hotel was very quiet. We had a huge balcony overlooking the amphitheatre on the 2nd floor. The room was a suite and it was huge. The king bed was very comfortable. The spa bath was very nice. Breakfast was fine but not great and the Wifi is very poor.

Good spot for visiting El Jem

I am glad we stayed here and now having traveled around Tunisia I believe it to be a reasonable value. It is new and nicely decorated. The room was comfortable with bathtub hairdryer and nice beds. There was secure parking so you could leave the car and walk the short distance to the amphitheater. I liked the mosaic motif and the circular design. It was odd that it was hard to see the menu ahead of time and we did not order beverages because they could not provide a list of prices. I have learned in Tunisia to never order something without knowing the price so as a practice I do not order without a listing. The restaurant is closed off and tour group level. The lobby is great although it was full of men drinking coffee and smoking even though it is enclosed so there is smoke. Not a problem for me but for some maybe. It was an easy drive here from Tunis airport and we started our trip here after an early afternoon flight arrival.

Tunísia ama muito o povo palestino

Hotel super bem localizado, pertinho do Coliseum, à exceção do chuveiro ergonomicamente deficiente, o quarto é confortável. Café podia ser um pouco melhor, o jantar (não incluso na diária) estava bom. No salão central se fuma muita chincha, prejudicial ao organismo humano. No geral, recomendo a propriedade.

Super na krótki pobyt

Miła obsługa i całkiem czysto, w hallu można zjeść pizze itd, dobra lokalizacja i możliwość zaparkowania przed wejściem. Niektóre pokoje mają wspaniały widok na koloseum. Śniadanie dosyć podstawowe ale ok. Minusem jest to że drzwi pokoi wychodzą na owalny hall z kawiarnią/restauracją/tv więc jest w nich dosyć głośno do czasu zamknięcia kawiarni ok 22-23.
