Reviews of La Villa Bleue-Sidi Bou Said 5 stars

Great service and great hotel

Breakfast selection was varied and well presented

The suite required improved sound proofing, noise from the crowds gathering outside in the evenings and chairs being moved across the floor of the restaurant. The outdoor areas were tired and could do with some TLC. The area is surrounded by trees which naturally drop their leaves with the wind, outside areas could be swept and hosed daily.

The atmosphere

Breakfast View

Bugs Insects Expensive food

The room and the view and all the rest of the Villa.

The only thing that was not at the same level as the hotel was the breakfast that was not what is expected in a special place like this. It was pior and repetitive.

The view

Noise. Cleanliness. Facilities

The view , the food , the stuff

AC was not working properly

The staff, especially Feriel, were fantastic. Very helpful

Hard for Bolt taxis to find

My recent stay at La Villa Bleue in Sidi Bou Said was a delightful experience that beautifully captured the essence of Sidi BouSaid charm. The hotel’s location is unparalleled, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean that are nothing short of breathtaking. The room’s traditional decor, with its whitewashed walls and blue accents, immersed me in the local culture, creating an authentic ambiance. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the staff’s attentiveness and professionalism enhanced the overall comfort of my stay.

The room lacked adequate noise insulation and double-glazed windows, making it susceptible to external sounds that occasionally disrupted the tranquility. Additionally, I noticed some rust on the ironwork of the veranda, which slightly detracted from the otherwise pristine environment.

Great views. Lovely antique decor

Breakfast could have been more generous. It was rather expensive.

The view is great. Rooms are well equipped. Beds are comfortable.

The location offers a great view, but access by taxi, car, or Bolt is difficult. Most drivers drop passengers off at the souk (marketplace) in Sidi Bou Said, which is very inconvenient if you have luggage. If you book a taxi through the hotel, be cautious, there seems to be only one driver they use, and the prices can be much higher than usual. I was quoted 140 TND for a ride that normally costs 40 TND, with excuses like “it’s a special service” or “it’s nighttime,” “you are tourist”, “30 euro is nothing for you” even though both fares were at the same night tariff and for the same ride without traffic with 20 years old cars. It’s best to use a taxi app, but then you’ll have to walk on uneven cobblestone streets, which make rolling luggage nearly impossible.

Nice views over the sea

This place is noisy, old and expensive. A street with ongoing traffic circles the place, staff is not friendly. Small breakfast is served on a tray, Mini Minibar was empty. Not 5 Star at all.
