So so in Tunis
This was probably the best of the two places we stayed at in Tunis. Supposed to be 3 stars according to the guy at the Tourist Info desk at the airport....I would say 2 star maybe. We had wanted to stay at the Carlton but were told it was booked. The bathroom was clean and the front desk was fine. Kim spilled a glass of OJ on the floor and was a bit worried about the stain but after a closer look at the floor she realized it would just blend in with others let by previous guests. On the flip side there were no bugs, the a/c worked and the bathroom was clean..we also had a small fridge to keep water and other stuff cool in. We ordered juice and water from room service but were not overcharged like you are in the US and Europe.
Unique Quality: Right next to the Marine Metro station. Our room was on the 3rd floor on the NW corner of the building and it sloped down from the hallway so we never had to close the bathroom door as it was taken care of by gravity..kinda cool
Sorry, not pictures on this part of the trip :(

Don't stay here
Located right on Bourguiba avenue about a 10/15min walk to the medina, this place is pretty grim.
In winter they charge 65TD(£27) for a night including breakfast.
Breakfast consists of a choice of hard boiled egg, bread, jam and a cake.
The rooms are small and fairly dirty.
They have tv but half the channels don't work.
There's only one plug so you have to remove the tv plug if want to charge anything.
The only good thing about the room of you're lucky is the view across the lake, which will give you nice sun rise views.
The receptionist is miserable although she does speak English.
A good nights sleep is hard due to the constant thumping of loud music from the bar on the 2nd floor until 5am, or the dig outside barking all night, or the constant busy traffic from the main road outside.
It is however located by the bus station is that's of use to you

Single female traveler in London for business with 2 days to spare for travel
I am going to be in London next week for work and would like to take a weekend to travel outside of the UK. I was thinking of Tunisia and would really like some help deciding on places to stay and a tour company offering day tours. I am considering Hammamet but am open to other suggestions. I love taking photos so i'm alwasy interested in beautiful and unique landscapes, people and culture. So any citites that you can think of would be much appreciated.
I've been to Egypt and Istanbul on my own, both of which I experienced some cat calling from men but nothing serious or to the extent where I felt uncomfortable. Should I have any concerns in Tunisia? I found a good fair on Lufthansa leaving London in the evening and arriving in Tunisia at 12:55am which is good enough to rest and get up to then enjoy 2 full day of exploring.
Looking forward to everyone's responses. Thanks, Anna
Re: Single female traveler in London for business with 2 days to spare for travel
I have not been to Tunisia for many years but given the choice between Tunisia and Morocco I would choose Morocco any day. Marrakech is a vibrant city with ancient architecture, great shopping and delicious food. Whereas Hammamet is a tourist place with a nice beach and overpriced restaurants.
Re: Single female traveler in London for business with 2 days to spare for travel
Hi,
No there you should have no concerns. If you are just staying 2 days and you want to make some exploring, then I would advise you to choose another destination.
If you want to stay near to Tunis, then you can have your hotel in Sidi Bou Said or La Marsa, and enjoy the terrific lands and seascapes, with possibility to move around and get to the Medina of Tunis or the Bardo Museum.
You can also try Bizerte, which is a very beautiful city. You can enjoy some beach, the old port and Medina. Visit the ships cimetry and teh area of Errimel. You can go visit the Ichkeul National Parc. Or have a tour of the city around Bizerte such as: Char El Milh and Rafraf.
Enjoy!!!
Re: Single female traveler in London for business with 2 days to spare for travel
When I visited Tunis I stayed in la Marsa two times with friends. From there it's easy to visit Sidi Bou Said and the ancient site Carthago by train. The same train goes to the citycentre of Tunis where you can visit the souqs and the Bardo museum. Sometimes we moved also around in taxis. We made also an one day visit to Bizerte by local bus, but for two days I suggest to spend your time in the Tunis area.
And I agree Marrakech is a vibrant city. I spent some days there last year. So if you find a low cost flight to Marrakech, just jump in and go !
Re: Single female traveler in London for business with 2 days to spare for travel
Hi and thanks you all for your replies.
I actually decided on Marrakesh. I am flying to Casablanca (to save airfare money) and then taking the train into Marrakesh. I get in at 11:55pm which means that i'll have to overnight in Casa. Does anyone have a recommendation on a hotel in Casablanca that close to the train station for Marrakesh? Also what is transportation like at that time of night from the airport?
Re: Single female traveler in London for business with 2 days to spare for travel
I have travelled as a single female and would say tunisia is far better than morroco from that point of view. I felt much safer in tunisia, and got a lot less hassle from men
Re: Single female traveler in London for business with 2 days to spare for travel
The Ibis hotel is very conveniently across the road from the Cassa voyagers station. It has good rooms, self service breakfast and a pool. Not that you are likely to use it at 1am in the morning. I think they also have 24hr room service. It costs 480Dh per night. The only drawback is that some rooms are very close to the railway track and can be quite noisy. You can reserve on-line.
Have fun...
Travel Tips for Tunis
Packing List
ATMs and Plastic money: they are the most convenient way to take your money abroad. You get lots of benefits and (almost!!) no problems. You'll get lower exchange rate than if you were to exchane your cash, and you will pay lower commissions than if you came up with a travel cheque. But, above all, you'll get safety: you will not be crying over money lost forever even if your ATM card gets stolen. And, even more than that, you can pay in many shops by a plastic card. So, I am always travelling with my ATM cards in my pocket. And in the capital city - Tunis - there are plenty of ATM machines. But, however, here are some important rules to keep in mind: 1) Do use Electron/Cirrus/any other debit card for withdrawals, as any other thing will be considered a cash advance, 2)Try to take out money few times but in bigger sums so as not to accumulate fees, 3) If you loose you card call the issuing company immediatley and better call you bank, too, to block the card.
Trust people! Tunisia is not...
Trust people! Tunisia is not as dangerous as some think. Use your brain & trust your insticts. They say 'A guest is a gift from Allah' and you'll be treated as such if you stop hitting all the tourist areas. If people stare in a small town, go to a really small town around where you live and see how they stare. You're new, not odd!
Staying in a smaller town is the best way to see the real Tunisia. Be sure you are allowed to stay there. Consult your embassy for any permission you may need. I was denied entry for 3 days to stay in Redeyef.
Take Tunisian buses (no not the luxury tours). Bring a fan and watch the water consumption. Stay somewhere in between thirsty and 'Gotta Pee.' Buses stop but people get on to sell items so you won't get off. If you make it off, be sure you get back on time because the bus will not wait. Bumping down those sandy highways will alow you to meet new people and possibly an invite. Be flexible. If you have met someone who would like you to see their town get off the bus. Catch the next one out or a truck to something interesting in the area.
A local communities festivals are what you will remember the most. Ladies usually dance separate from men. Let them tie a scarf on your hips and learn all you can. Believe me, it's cheaper than Middle Eastern Dance lessons at home! But enjoy. Food is plenty and you will almost always be welcome.
Lastly, try the local Hamam or public bath. (not the 'spa' like ones). Hours of socializing take place. Bring some shampoo or soap to give away as a gift to anyone you meet. Don't take valuables with you for there is nowhere to lock them up. Check times for men and women access to the Hamam.
Tunis Market
Every day there is a market.
Here all sorts of goods from food, spices, t-shirts, shoes, novelty items, you name it are sold.
You can haggle but be careful as sometimes the items are overpriced.
Walk Around
We were just for a day, on a cruise stop. And... we really didn't like it at all. Besides its cute doors, the rest of the city was dirty and poor. Our guide was a macho macho type that kept on reminding us how little women were worth.
