Meine Ankunft in Tunis war stark verspätet und doch hat der Besitzer des Hostels noch bis nach Mitternacht auf mich gewartet. Da das Hostel im Februar relativ leer war, habe ich statt einem 4-Bett-Zimmer ein 2-Bett-Zimmer für mich allein erhalten – ohne Preisaufschlag. Das Hostel ist schön eingerichtet, ruhig und liegt inmitten der Medina. Besonders dankbar bin ich für die ausgesprochen hilfsbereite Art des Inhabers, u.a. für einen Ausflug nach Dougga. Vielen Dank für die großartige Zeit, ich werde wiederkommen!

L'ostello è in un Antico edificio della Medina di Tunisi c'è davvero tanta storia e tanta cultura tunisina. è davvero stato affascinante poter dormire in una struttura tipica del paese. La Medina è tranquilla, ma dopo le 7:00 di sera iniziano a chiudere tutti i negozi compresi i ristoranti, ma ti puoi facilmente spostare prendendo un taxi con l'applicazione Bolt dalla casbah. fantastico!

Müthiş bir kahvaltı beklemeyin ama kek ve birkaç meyve servisi var kahveyle birlikte. Otantik bir mekan, odalar küçük ve penceler iç alana bakıyor. arkadaş edinmek için güzel bir hostel, benim çok tatlı oda arkadaşlarım oldu ancak güvenilir insanlar olmasaydı eşyalarınızı koyup kilitleyebileceğiniz bir alan da yok. Bunları gözeterek gelmenizi tavsiye ederim

Wunderschönes Hostel in einem Herrenhaus der Stadt. Hervorragender, sehr hilfsbereiter Herbergswirt. Im Hochsommer aber unbedingt 4-Bett-, nicht 2-Bettzimmer buchen, da letztere fensterlos und stickig sind.

Problème de réservation entre le site et l'hôtel, ce qui nous vaut une nuit en dortoir. Puis 3 nuit dans une "chambre double", qui est en fait un dortoir (avec des lits jumeaux donc) séparé par des paravents.
