Reviews of Dar Ben Gacem

The beautifully restored residence and its peacefulness

Smoking

The staff were very friendly & helpful

Highly recommended!!!

This is a lovely and quiet place to stay that is close to the heart of the medina. There are taxis that are easy to catch nearby as well.

It was hard for taxis to know where to go. I wound up giving the driver my phone with Google map directions to follow. That worked well.

The quietness of the hotel. Nice decoration.

Small details: no glasses in the toilet, no basket for personal litter inside the room ... Not enough toilet paper...

With its rich tapestry of art and antiquities, the place feels like a living museum itself, full of character and charm. It’s the perfect home base for adventure, and I can’t imagine a more fitting spot to soak in the spirit of Tunis.

-The people who work there are super nice. Special shout out to Dali who is a just great person. He told us some history of the place while we stayed there, and made sure we were having a great time. Which we did! -All of the hotel from the roof to the rooms to the courtyard is filled with cool details (like pottery, plants, etc.) Very pretty. -Breakfast was good - lots of choices to pick from (or have it all ;). The omlet was especially delicious! One day we sat with other folks at a big table in the courtyard at breakfast and it was fun doing family style meeting new people. -The hotel is right near like a small turnaround area with extra room which is great for taxis and cars, and fun to see people who live in the community conversing in the spot.

-There were no safes in the rooms, but other than that it was a perfect stay!

Amazing architecture and interior - very artistic! Very clean!

By accident we got at evening to the wrong room and were able to open that door with our key ?!?

The breakfast, location, staff and the hospitality where amazing. The beds are terrible to our taste (really hard), and very un even

Nothing else

This place is in the Medina, in a really good part of the Medina. The spaces are great, with access to a lot of common areas, including a roof top patio. Staff are welcoming and helpful.

It was a bit of a challenge to get around, but work with the staff when arriving and they will arrange taxis to the airport for you.

In the most beautiful road in medina of Tunis!! Perfect traditional dar with beautiful decoration!very clean and breakfast is fantastic!!Staff very polite!!

Loved the location, very central for touring about, wonderful and friendly staff, delicious breakfasts

Good location, very friendly staff. We had pleasant time . Highly recommended!

We had a very nice reception from very kind staff. I booked a junior suite w/ balcony which was up one flight of narrow high stairs, then four more steps into room. The guest house and room were beautifully and authentically decorated. Charming! Make sure you follow the narrow stairs in the courtyard up two flights of stairs to the beautiful rooftop deck with several areas to sit and relax. I liked the linens, firm mattress, mini fridge, good water pressure, hot water, shuttered windows to courtyard, gorgeous chandelier, lighting, available outlets, heat and AC. Allow enough time for breakfast which is very good but can take quite long to get through. The first morning we received fresh strawberry juice, fruit bowl, cake, chocolate croissant, sesame something, and local bread with butter, jam and halva. And a pot of coffee with hot milk. The second morning we received fresh squeezed orange juice, fruit bowl, cake, chocolate croissant, baguette and poached egg in spicy tomato sauce.

We ordered a Bolt ride at the airport to the guesthouse address but the driver ditched us close to the medina at dusk saying it was 'that way on foot only'. We couldn't find the property on our own and had to ask some police men for assistance. Make sure you have a good ride who understands were the drop off point for this guesthouse actually is! There was a narrow desk in the room but no desk chair. For the money should provide at least two drinking glasses, and a kettle and two mugs would have been welcome. There was only a hand-held shower head within a very high walled bathtub. The indoor breakfast room was very small and the table set for six was very cramped. Even with the chilly January mornings I would have preferred to eat in the courtyard.

The hospitality and the kindness of the staff was superb, and the breakfast was amazing, including fresh fruit and something different prepared on the spot every day, truly exceptional staff. They were ready to advice us places to visit and restaurants, to book us taxis and additional services. Moreover the structure is beautiful, comprehending a beautiful courtyard and rooftop terrace, many leisure spaces and sofas.

The only thing that could be better are the power outlets, far from the bed, and the lights over the bed, that remain a little bright even when turned off. The room I booked was different than the one I actually got but they were the same price and dimensions more or less.

Charming boutique hotel with seven rooms in a traditional Medina house transformed into a hotel. I enjoyed having a breakfast in the courtyard especially during Ramadan period.
