Kairouan: another room with a view
by call_me_rhia about hotel La Kasbah
My friends chose it: all I can say is that it's posh, very posh... and a bit anonymous. But the location is excellent and the price is actually not too bad. The architecture, to be fair, has character, but inside it's as personal as posh hotel usually are. There's a great huge swimming pool, but forget about using it in winter.

by call_me_rhia about Café maure
The turkish cafè at the hotel La kasbah. There's generally not much nightlife in Tunisian towns and cities - so the most you can find is inside tourist hotels. At café maure you can sip delicious mint tea or turkish coffee, eat sweeter than sweet Tunisian pastries, and happily smoke nargileh. Formal or informal, no one really cares. But there's no heating, so wear something warm in winter.

And because it's inside a hotel, it's respectable for women to go there alone. It doesn't really matter. Tunisia is pretty informal anyway.
