la Kasbah

Amazing hotel, excellent decor, large rooms and bathrooms, comfortable bed. Polite staff, ample parking spaces inside the hotel ground. Super close to everything.

Wonderful location with good ambience. Pool was great on a hot day after driving. Room AC did not work and had to get a maintenance person to fix. Dinner was very mediocre, but breakfast was good. We had a lot of ants in our room which was an annoyance.

Great location - walking from the mosque & medina. Very dated property with old dark rooms with bad air conditioning, broken parts and musty rooms

As there were not any comparable option in Kairouan, the Kasbah met our needs. The property was beautiful, clean, safe, and the state were truly kind and professional. The hotel is somewhat centrally located that you can walk to the medina, the grand mosque, the tomb of Sahbee. However, dining options you needed to walk further. There’s nice dining, however, it’s mostly local restaurants that are typically for takeaway. Thought the hotel mentions air conditioning in the details of the amenities, make sure you ask for it in advance and make sure upon arrival they provide you with a room that has air conditioning that you can control. In the off season the main air conditioning is off, only a fan is blowing through the HVAC. We visited in the middle of May, over 40 degrees celcius and air conditioning was important to have. The breakfast was included which was pretty much your typical morning cute buffet. They had an espresso machine, though I prefer freshly brewed coffee. The restaurant was extremely warm which made it uncomfortable to enjoy the breakfast, but we managed. We have been choosing small properties for our travels because the service is much more catered. Though we enjoyed meeting all the staff who were always there when we looked for them Moheeb and Sadek… everyone else did their job well. But we didn’t sense anyone was going above and beyond. It’s fine as it’s not a complaint. It just helps when it comes to tipping to want that unique experience with staff.

Historic building beautifully renovated about 20 years ago. Staff is very courteous. There are some signs of ‘aging’ but it can be forgiven. The dining room often smells of fried food. The smaller restaurant is better. Internet is limited, but free. Very good parking.

This place blew my mind! Staying in the Casbah was like stepping into a history book, but with a pool and bar. The rooms were comfortable, the location great and the included breakfast buffet a great way to start the day. Pretty good value too. My one complaint was, I felt, the staff didn’t go out of their way to help organize some day trips surrounding Kairouan that I was looking forward to. Other than that, I really enjoyed my time here!

great beautiful building but needs renovations especially in bathroom

Breakfast area could be modernized/improved

Here’s the revised version that reflects your concerns about someone easily entering and exiting the room, in addition to the lack of a door lock: --- **Serious Security Concerns at a 5-Star Hotel in Kairouan, Tunisia** During our stay at this 5-star hotel in Kairouan, my friends and I—four of us in total—had a deeply unsettling experience. We were staying in two rooms, and all four of us discovered that a significant portion of the cash in our handbags had gone missing, including both Tunisian dinars and euros. The only time this could have happened was while we were out for dinner or when some of us were taking turns at the spa, as we were in the rooms the rest of the time. We reported the incident to the front desk, and they promised to investigate by checking CCTV footage and key card access logs. The next morning, a different front desk staff member returned the missing money to us. However, when we asked how, when, and by whom it had been found, we were given the vague response: “I don’t know. A guest threw the money out of the room.” This response left us feeling extremely suspicious. It gave the impression that the hotel was attempting to quietly resolve the issue, suggesting possible internal theft. We were alarmed by how easily someone could enter and exit our rooms without us knowing, its really unsafe!

Amazing place to stay. Rooms are huge and the decor is very special. The bathroom was roomy and the toilet separate. The only downsides were a rather inefficient and noisy airconditioning unit and the restaurant food is just ok. Neither of these detracted from a great experience staying here.

Everything was great just the beds were old and not as comfortable.

Beautiful hotel and very well Service !

this is a great place to stay in Kairouan

Great location and historical site. Comfortable and convenient as expected.

Very nice rooms, with a balcony. Staff were friendly and served us a last minute dinner buffet. Pool area was maintained and cleaned up though the few sun beds that there were seemed old and falling apart. Didn’t have chance to swim. Spa was excellent and good value for money.

Absolutely amazing stay, in an old medieval khalif castle (around fifteen century), modern renovated. Rooms a little smaller, but wonderfully decorated, also all public spaces, hallways and reception. Do not miss the tour of the museum, near the outside restaurant, it is absolutely amazing (sorry for repeating myself).

We greatly enjoyed our stay in the old British Embassy with its beautifully decorated doors and rooms. It felt a bit daunting on arrival at night in our hire car, but with thé help of the night porter I squeezed the car through the bollards and under thé triumphal arch to poark outside front door Thé following day the square came to life with fountains, brightly coloured shops and crowds of people. Breakfast was good sitting out under the awnings on the square.

Great location and excellent service. Food at the restaurant was really good as well. Perfect stay for a short trip to Kairouan, and it's right in the Medina!!!

La Kasbah was a perfectly fine accommodation in Kairouan. It's a large, older hotel with some charm. Dinner buffet (extra charge) was just so-so for us vegetarians. Staff unfortunately seemed to have no idea which of the dishes on offer were meat-free. Breakfast (included in our rate) was better, but still has room for improvement. Bed was comfortable and shower good. Excellent location for exploration of the medina/souk.

Beutiful hotel conveniently located. Decent staff.
