The hotel was very quiet when we stayed in early January, so did not experience the hotel at its best. In summer, the rear garden terrace and pool would be very pleasant, especially after visiting the extensive Roman ruins. The room was very cold, as the air-con did not work for most of the time and the tiled floor, which would be perfect in summer, didn't help. The food offering was very small, especially for dinner, but this was no doubt due to lack of guests at this time of year. Front desk staff hardly spoke to us, just as little as possible, so not very welcoming. The hotel in general reeked of cigarette smoke, and although this fault is found almost everywhere in Tunisia, it's not a good image coming from front desk staff.
