Avoid this place
The property has potential however overall I did not have a successful stay. Upon check in I was advised that the room had a shared bathroom. The owner advised that he had a room with a private bathroom but this was more expensive. He advised me to cancel the original reservation and re-book the en-suite room and he would authorise a refund via Hotels.com for the full cost of the original booking. I did this with great difficulty, as to why this could not have been sorted locally I am still unsure! Anyway Hotels.com emailed to advise the owner had not waived the cancellation fee for the original booking. When I approached him he stated they had not contacted him. I wasted two days of my holiday dealing with this. The owner then said that as the second booking was made using a promotional rate (but still much higher value than the original booking) he wanted me to give him the amount of the promotion back in order for him to agree the refund of the original reservation - basically blackmail. It was clear he had not responded to Hotels.com intentionally and this was part of his game to extract more money from me. Added to this the hotel had no heating on my first night and was not comfortable. The owner spends all of his time chain smoking in the kitchen - yes Kitchen! Meaning the whole place smelled of cigarette smoke. The breakfast was very basic and of poor quality and finally the photos on the website are not recent and not a true reflection. I do not recommend.

Relaxing stay
Wonderful hotel, super helpful staff, beautiful, quiet rooms and a lovely garden in the back where you can sit and enjoy a coffee. The fresh cooked breakfast is a nice way to start the day. The rooms are very clean, the beds have cozy duvets and plenty of pillows. We were there in the winter and the rooms had heat and were plenty warm. Our room was up 2 floors of stairs, they also have ground level rooms (and stairs are the norm in Tunis). The sitting area outside our room was nice and relaxing, a bit of extra shared space to sit down. And the rooms are quiet, many places in the city can can be loud, or noisy, car honking, dogs barking, etc, but the rooms here are so very quiet, silent even! The bathroom for a room with a private one are huge and clean. The hot water is consistent and warm. We did not speak French or Arabic and the staff was very accommodating and patient, they spoke enough English to make communication possible and straight forward. We would definitely stay here again and recommend the hotel!

The property was very close to the airport, and the owner Ali could not have been more accomodating! He picked me up from the airport, helped me plan the entirety of my stay in Tunis, and even offered to BBQ my last night in Tunis. The breakfasts were very fulling and just as nicely prepared.

Be careful in choosing a room. This is NOT A HOTEL. So, they tried to give me a room with a 'shared' bathroom. Also, the "Free" parking was 5 euros per night!

Dans la chaleur et l'agitation de Tunis, j'ai été surpris et ravi de trouver cette très belle maison. Beaucoup de charme, bien décorée, originale. Des suites magnifiques qui nous font voyager dans le temps. Très bonne literie, propre, calme, tout est fait pour passer une nuit paisible. J'y ai passé un bon moment, serein, avec un hôte très accessible avec qui on peut partager. Merci pour ce bon moment.

Nur das Bett war gut!
Bei meiner Ankunft nach 23.00 Uhr musste ich zusätzlich € 20.- wegen "Late check in" bezahlen. Die versprochene Rechnungsbestätigung war für den nächsten Morgen versprochen, habe ich aber nicht erhalten. Der angebotene Transfer vom Flughafen ist komplett überteuert. Mit den gelben Taxen kommt man zu einem Bruchteil zum Gästehaus. Um zum Zimmer zu kommen (3 - 4 Zimmer teilen ein WC und Dusche), musste ich das schwere Gepäck alleine 2 Stockwerke hochtragen. Der anscheinend betrunkene Chef des Hauses hat nur die Schlüssel getragen. Ich habe auch keinen Weckdienst benötigt da ich durch den Verkehrslärm sehr früh aufgewacht bin. Das Bett war gut. Sicher nie mehr wieder!!!
