Dar Souad was the best place any traveler could choose when entering Tunisia. They’re so friendly, accommodating, kind, and considerate. The rooms are clean, the beds are very comfortable, the entire space is cozy, and the food is delicious.

Paradise in the city

Unfortunately I was only able to visit this beautiful hotel for 4 hours due to a flight delay; however, I made use of it to the max with a great swim in the beautiful forested environment followed by a comfortable bath in my spacious room.

Perfect weekend

We had a beautiful stay. The staff were so friendly and kind. The breakfast was stunning, traditional Tunisian. The bedrooms were clean. Within walking distance of la Marsa (10 mins) and sidi bou said (40 mins). 20 minute drive from Tunis - 20 dinah using bolt taxi but a nicer place to stay than centre of Tunis as it was quiet and lovely. Loved the little guide Feriel (owner) did on via QR code. Very handy.

Oasis in non-touristy part of La Marsa

I loved the Dar Souad! It’s like a little oasis in what’s a slightly so-so part of town. It’s a 15-min walk to the beach. Taxi rides are easy to snag. (Though hotel staff helped us with important rides - like to the airport.) The staff is truly the highlight: very kind and helpful. The Dar’s decor is somewhat eclectic, and your appreciation for it grows. Little pool very pleasant after a hot day. Some of the property is a little warn (e.g., room bolts)

Wonderful Tunisian hospitality

Very charming, family run hotel. Very friendly and helpful owners who always had time to chat or answer questions. Amazing home cooked meals are availabe upon request. They were delicious. Nothing to complain about. I only would like to mention about mosquitos at the courtyard by the pool ( mosquito spray was available) , also TV in my room didnt work ( no signal) . Not sure if it was only my room. Shampoo was missing in the bathroom.

The mother and daughters own and run this boutique hotel-guest house in the middle of La Marsa neighborhood. It is not far from La Marsa beach and more lively neighborhoods, but this property does seem to be an isolated located. For someone from North America, it is too remote to access to anything and anywhere, but I can see it looks like an oasis property if you seek privacy. The owners and staffs are super friendly, but other than the two daughters who speak fluent English, everyone else is French or Arabic only. They put information pamphlets which give extremely useful tips about how to get around. But for those like me who did not do enough planning and homework, it is very difficult to get around and about, given the fact that it is a poor country and tourism services are few and far between. Ideally you only go there if you have relatives or friends who know how to live there. But on top of that, I make grocery store runs every day (15 min walk) to Monoprix and Carre Four, at least to get bottled waters, and limited choices of things you can eat. Not easy to find varieties of food eateries around. Again barebone tourism resources. But the daughter owner was able to call her friend to pick me up from the hotel/guest house at 5:30am and dropped me at the airport for departure. I appreciate that even I need to pay more. Consider if you don’t have a Bolt app and speak French or Arabic, chances are that you won’t be able to go anywhere.

we had late check in due to our plane landing at 1.30 am. They charge a fee for that.. for a supposed hotel of this level... the reason is the guy has to stay woke up. Does it mean when there is nobody arriving late there is no one taking care of the guests in case of needs? no one for the safety of the hotel? you gt ir. Poor reason to charge. But the worst the hotel had nearly no light on... really strange. black out in the common parts... the reason I suppose because of the fee for late checkin? they have money issues and try to save at any cost. The image is terrible when you arrive. And the day after due to the late arrival we had a late check out ready to pay a supplement but they told us we are short on personal, then check out can be 11.30am instead of 11am but you can't use the announced luggage luggage because we are only 2.... now you are aware of the situation potential customers

This is a beautiful place to stay, hidden away from the city. It feels like you have been invited to stay in your best friends house, but they provide amazing food. The room i stayed in had a balcony, and I was able to stand outside as the sun set, listening to the call to prayers. There is one thing: you must be able to carry bags up tight stairways. My suitcase was 60 lbs (23 kg) and i needed help. But I can't wait to return!

Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Amal im Dar Souad empfangen. Wir waren vor 14 Uhr, also Check In zeit da, konnten aber trotzdem schon früher auf unser Zimmer. Das Zimmer war sehr schön. Das Bett sehr bequem. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Das Guesthouse war sehr sauber. Das einzige was zu bemängeln wäre, ist der Pool. Dieser war nicht wirklich ein Pool. Das sollte man in der Beschreibung eventuell mal ändern. Das ist aber auch das einzige. Es hat uns sehr gefallen. Eine warme und herzliche Atmosphäre herrscht dort. Wir kommen wieder.
