Following a long day of travel, we selected a hotel near the airport before continuing our travels to Sousse. The airport offered airport transfer for 30 additional dinar. The driver was punctual and polite. The hotel staff were friendly and welcoming. The room and bed were comfortable. Breakfast, which was included in the hotel fee, was delightful.

Amazing stay in the heart of Tunis

An amazing stay with exceptional flexibility and helpfulness throughout, from check-in to check-out. The charming old mansion, nestled in the heart of Tunis, boasts a beautiful garden that’s perfect for relaxing. The breakfast offered a great variety, and the fresh citronnade was a refreshing touch. We’ll definitely be back! The only downside is that the stairs might be a bit challenging for elderly guests, but everything else was perfect....merci again

A Welcoming Sanctuary at Villa Les Palmes

Villa Les Palmes was a comfortable and comforting retreat, just as beautifully described. We loved the artistic, eclectic style and the peaceful embrace of the garden – it was such a welcoming sanctuary! Every morning, the breakfast was especially wonderful, a delightful highlight that we looked forward to. Our hosts were welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. We're so grateful for the lovely time we had at Villa Les Palmes.

Make sure you realize what you are booking

I probably should have researched more but this is more akin to a hostel than a hotel - shared bathroom and very steep spiral staircase to get to room (I am fine carrying my baggage up normal stairs but this was tough). The house is on a busy street and is very loud with the windows closed, but because there was no air conditioning had to have them open which made it even worse.

Be careful in choosing a room. This is NOT A HOTEL. So, they tried to give me a room with a 'shared' bathroom. Also, the "Free" parking was 5 euros per night!

Oasis in a busy town!

Villa Les Palmes is a beautiful, historic and peaceful estate of colonial times. We had a suite with tastefull interior and balconies in two directions. The breakfast was served downstairs in the creativly decorated diningroom with large windows, much light, fresh air and direct exit to the veranda and garden. You can also order dinner and drinks in the evening and enjoy it outside in the tranquil garden. The whole house gives you inspiration with its artistic character. We met the politeful owner couple several times. They gave good service. We had nice conversations together and got interesting inside information about the town and the country. Outside the entrance with trees and a nice garden you find a vibrious crossing with a nearby school, the metro and a small cafe. The old Medina er about 1,5 km away. You can easily get a cheap taxi right in front of the estate. Thank you very much for a relaxing stay!

Outdated and overpriced. The property is very old design and not repainted, the heating is old radiators which are not sufficient for the cold. Shared spaces and close quarters are not good for privacy. This is a bed and breakfast from a nice couple, but not what we needed at the time. The garden is not maintained and consists of outdated handmade funiture. The guest house is a 2 story climb up a spiral staircase to a small room with no substantial heat, TV or ample space. Room service is nonexistent and all food must extra pay for dining with the hosts, also overpriced. We filled out an old fashioned papework, took a bath, and immediately went to the Marigold some 3 blocks away. Quaint, but unnecessary. I did thank the owner Ali for his efforts, but unfortunately it was not modern enough for our desire.

Avoid this place

The property has potential however overall I did not have a successful stay. Upon check in I was advised that the room had a shared bathroom. The owner advised that he had a room with a private bathroom but this was more expensive. He advised me to cancel the original reservation and re-book the en-suite room and he would authorise a refund via Hotels.com for the full cost of the original booking. I did this with great difficulty, as to why this could not have been sorted locally I am still unsure! Anyway Hotels.com emailed to advise the owner had not waived the cancellation fee for the original booking. When I approached him he stated they had not contacted him. I wasted two days of my holiday dealing with this. The owner then said that as the second booking was made using a promotional rate (but still much higher value than the original booking) he wanted me to give him the amount of the promotion back in order for him to agree the refund of the original reservation - basically blackmail. It was clear he had not responded to Hotels.com intentionally and this was part of his game to extract more money from me. Added to this the hotel had no heating on my first night and was not comfortable. The owner spends all of his time chain smoking in the kitchen - yes Kitchen! Meaning the whole place smelled of cigarette smoke. The breakfast was very basic and of poor quality and finally the photos on the website are not recent and not a true reflection. I do not recommend.
