Excellent location
I choose this hotel because of its location and because it was a good priced 5-star. Its location is ideal as its located on the southern side of the main Ave Habib Bourguiba, the main tree-lined thorughfare that runs from the Medina to the port. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby and its only a 5 minute walk to the Medina in one direction and a 5 minute walk to the TGM station in order to take a train to Carthage in the other direction.
The hotel itself has a nice lobby area with a bar and comfy seats. I arrived late after flying in from the UK but check-in was very quick and pleasant without any hassle. The room was very good with 2 single beds, 2 bedside tables, floor lamp, armchair, table, chair, desk/drawers, mini-bar, TV and some good views over the city as the hotel is one of the tallest buildings in the city. The bathroom was spotlessly clean with a WC, bidet, good shower/bath, hair dryer etc. The breakfast was plentiful but the hot dishes were mostly african/middle eastern along with breads, french pastries, yoghurts, juices etc. But the hotel lacks any extras such as a gym and a pool which one would expect from a 5 star hotel. I would call it a 4 star and a little bit more but not a western 5 star. I booked through hotelclub.com and got a good deal.
