Founded by the Berbers in the 2nd millennium BCE, the city of Tunis has been controlled by Phoenicians, Romans, Arab Muslims, the Ottomans, the Spanish, the French and the Germans, finally achieving independence as the capital of Tunisia in 1956. This history has made Tunis a mélange of ancient and modern cultures. The medina is a network of narrow alleyways, mosques, mausoleums, palaces and a souq where shoppers haggle over the price of everything from filigreed gold to inexpensive souvenirs.

El Patio Courtyard House is a cosy guesthouse with three bedrooms with private bathroom in the heart of Tunis Medina. We offer a concept of slow tourism, a unique experience and a cultural journey to discover or rediscover Tunis of the past and of the present at your own pace.
The interior of this courthouse is stunning! But because it is all connected with a patio, very noisy (and little privacy). The room was beautiful but smelled. Breakfast was good and staff was very friendly. Rooms where not cleaned during the stay. Al in all, It is definitely worth the price and very beautiful, but don’t expect a very luxueus stay.

La Chambre bleue is a Family Guests Rooms situated in the heart of the Medina of Tunis, in an authentic historical house. 2 rooms and an appartment are specially equipped for guests, arranged very comfortably and inviting you to enjoy your stay. The Suite "La Chambre blue" is a large room of Tunis'Italianizing 19th Century style, has its own living space, a sofa bed, an intimate queen bed alcove, and a shower room. Restaured in what used to be the stables of a traditional house, The Makhzen is the 2d room with crossed vaults and column of the XIVth century. It gives access to a small private open-air courtyard "The Makhzen loft" restored and adapted with the modern accomodations, includes well-equipped kitchen reserved for long stays. On the first floor the covered patio and the dining room are the common parts of the house. There is also a library with board games and touristic guides. Breakfast is served each morning in the dining room
We were fortunate that when we contacted Sondos that she had the Makhazen room (with the cross-vault soaring ceilings and a column) available. The room has a private courtyard and is very spacious. The bathroom is quirky (no door) but functional. The walk-in shower is a small alcove but as there is no shower door or screen it does not feel cramped (nor did the bathroom get wet!). Breakfast is served upstairs in the dining room. There were significant changes every day but constant were an outstanding juice (prune, peach and banana), yoghurt, black bread toast, ricotta and a large array of jams and honey plus coffee/tea. The girl service breakfast and making our room was so delightful! Breakfast was served from 08:30 and we never had any appetite for lunch afterwards! Sondos arranged an airport pick-up for us which was nice as La Chambre Bleu is located in the Medina. However, the Medina is compact and we never had any issues finding our around. Be aware that the shops close early 17:00-17:30: then the souks and the Medina are dark - phone flashlights are useful as rubbish goes into the centre of the ‘street’ for removal but is likely still there when you are walking back to your room at night. We never heard any external noise when we were in the room which made for excellent rest. Sondos provides us with a great map of the Medina with restaurants, cafes, and sights to visit which simplified getting around. A fabulous base in a wonderful, underrated city/country. Highly recommend.

This hostel offers a clean friendly safe place to stay within the Medina. Common areas are pleasant with local charm & old pictures of Tunis. Receptions staff is willing to assist with planning, & information. Breakfast buffet is not large but offers a variety. They also offer a 3 day/ 2 night trip to the South that is well priced and paced. I booked upon arrival (not sure in season if this would work) and left 2 days later. Enjoy!

Ample breakfast provided by Leila each day. Ali the host/owner of the Villa is a terrific man. Great company for spending an evening with. We made a friend.

I stayed here for an overnight in late August. The Hotel is basic but is clean and tidy. Everything works as it should including the A/C and free WIFI. The staff are also friendly and helpful. The location doesn't provide for much to do and there a few shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity, I had to jump in a taxi to an International Hotel to get dinner If its a quick overnight you are looking for this hotel is well priced and close to the Airport, just 10 minutes drive.

I went to this place for a weekend with a group of friends in late season. Everything was perfect to say the least. An awesome breakfast in sunny healthy atmosphere. Perfectly clean with great panoramic view for great shots. NB: I want to apologize again for our host for the little accident that happened, but we couldn’t be less than thankful for his diplomatic attitude to resolve the matter.

It's a small hotel in a high standard neighborhood very close to the airport and to downtown Tunis.
Services très professionnels, excellent emplacement et chambres très propres de tailles moyennes. Petit déjeuner correct excellent rapport qualité prix. Je suis parti tôt le matin et j'ai trouvé mon petit déjeuner prêt bien avant l'ouverture du restaurant.
