Overall Ratings & Reviews Dar Antonia

Start with the staff: they are fabulous! Your stay begins with a tour of the property - which is located in 3 adjoining buildings. Staff assisted us with parking, which is tricky. You park in a gas station about 8 minutes by foot from the property. She rode with us and spoke to the gas station manager on our behalf. Be mindful that this hotel is in the historic Medina - you can’t drive up to it. We had initially parked on a street 2 bocks outside the city walls. We then moved it to the gas station. My room had a classical North African design - everything was very tasteful, if not a little quirky, which I found endearing. By quirky, e.g., you shower behind a ladder that goes to a loft in my room. My bed was very comfortable. There was a delicious fruit tray waiting for me. The A/C worked pretty well, though in general they struggle in North Africa. I was able to sleep without issue. Breakfast was delicious. It comprised of various Tunisian treats - all fresh. We also had dinner on the rooftop and it was delicious- as well as atmospheric especially during the call to prayer as the sun set. Dar Antonia is 5-10 min away from all the cool sights of the Medina (ribbat, mosque, archaeological museum) and steps away from shopping galore. This place is a 10/10 and a great value in my mind. If I come to Sousse again, there is no doubt that I am staying at the Dar Antonia!

Un véritable bijou niché au cœur de la médina de Sousse, classée à l’UNESCO. Ce Dar traditionnel, rénové avec goût, marie harmonieusement le charme de l’architecture locale et le confort moderne. La maison est impeccable, entretenue avec grand soin, et chaque espace respire la sérénité. L’accueil est à la hauteur du lieu : chaleureux, professionnel, authentique. Le personnel est attentionné, toujours prêt à rendre service, avec une mention spéciale pour Rahma, qui nous a servi le petit déjeuner avec une gentillesse et une douceur remarquables. Une perle. Les petits déjeuners sont simples mais savoureux, servis dans un cadre paisible. La terrasse sur le toit, baignée de lumière, offre un superbe point de vue pour se détendre après une journée dans la médina. Un endroit inspirant. Quelques détails toutefois viennent légèrement atténuer l’enchantement : l’insonorisation des chambres laisse à désirer, la piscine — minuscule — avait une eau un peu trouble lors de notre passage, et certains prix (notamment une citronnade à 12 dinars) nous ont semblé déconnectés du contexte local. Un lieu plein de charme et de promesses, parfait pour s’immerger dans l’âme de la médina… à condition de garder une certaine indulgence et un œil averti.

This is a nice hotel, with beautiful rooms and restaurant. The staff are helpful, and they even made us breakfast well after the posted finish time. The downsides are the rooms are little small, and our shower didn’t fully work (the wand worked, but not the shower head). Also it can be a little cold in winter, but there is in room heating.

Went here in the winter and their room heater didn't work (staff insisted that it works but it doesn't, go figure...). It was quite cold during the night we had a miserable time sleeping there. The parking is not on premises, you have to walk 7 minutes to get to the location (they make you park at a gas station then take some stairs and walk through the old town). Would not stay here again.

Beautiful place in the Medina of Sousse. All the rooms are stunning. We stayed at the Ambre Suite which felt like living inside a fairy tale. While the place is in the Medina, is not in the busy side but rather quieter side of it. Just a short 5 min walk from everywhere you need to be in the Medina. The host were super friendly and the restaurant is a must. Just be aware that you may need to walk a few blocks with your luggage to make it in and out.

The inside courtyard and public spaces were well decorated and nice. The heat in my room did not work and the temperature stayed about 18c. There was no separation or door between the bathroom and our family suite room. It is advertised for up to 4 people, but my daughter and I felt cramped in the space. The concrete floors were not inviting and the shower kept flooding the bathroom area. The hotel was very clean and the staff were nice, even though they were not around much and were gone by nightfall. A good place for an adventurous and self sufficient traveler.

Nice decor and set up very nice but difficult to manage stairs and cold at night. Shower splashing water all over the place

Confusing check-in, and no english so it was confusing when we dont speak french. Beautiful place that need som ekstra care on the rooftop (the water was not ok in the jazzuci, and all the furniture had a lot of stains) Not possible to get a cold beer. But otherwise, the satff was very friendly and the food was exellent.

Amazing staff, amazing place. The food was excellent too.

Great loved the architecture

EXCELLENT SERVICE. We arrived late. We left stuff. And they were so accommodating in helping us with all these situations!

We stayed at the Dar Antonia for 3 nights, when we arrived we were met at the steps by Sanna the host of the venue, she took us to show us the venue, the beautiful rooms, the dining area & gave us our keys then showed us how to get in and out of the building, everything was immaculate and the hospitality was above and beyond, we explained we wanted a light meal in the Médina and she personally took us to a small eating kitchen a stones throw from the venue. The bar at the top of the venue is amazing, the bartender is a lovely Tunisian man versed in 5 languages so you’ll have no problem getting anything you need, he makes the drinks strong but equally delicious and not overpowered, Now to the most important part the food at the Dar Antonia food is made by a Michelin star Swedish chef, we met some local brits that live in Tunisia and they said the food at the Dar Antonia is the best in Sousse, these lovely brits showed us all the class restaurants all with amazing food but not 1 touched the levels of the Dar Antonia they truly are a cut above the rest. All in all if you come to Tunisia and stay in sousse and don’t stay at the Dar Antonia you’ve missed out on a gem of Tunisia. Reviewed by Jose & Faby

A real gem, cosy room, great service and a nice rooftop mini-pool

Dar Antonia is a little slice of heaven in Sousse. They were so kind as to reach out to me prior to my arrival, and offered assistance in making the arrival smooth. Hanen greeted me with warmth and kindness. She gave me a full tour of the facilities and chatted with a genuine spirit. The rooms are all beautiful, clean, well designed and comfortable. The restaurant was excellent, I ate there both nights of my stay. A special mention of my server who spoke handfuls of languages, chatted with everyone and even offered a speaker while I was relaxing on the rooftop patio. The location is central in the old medina, and close to everything you may need. This is the place to stay in Sousse! Thank you, everyone.

The staff was very nice. But there was a lot of noice including loud music from the restaurant below until 11 pm

Facility needs to be fixed, especially the shower

Everything about this place is perfect and I’ll definitely return. From the rooms to the amazing restaurant, I feel like I got very lucky choosing Dar Antonia. The staff and the attention to detail is remarkably good, and being literally inside the Medina makes it all the better. Go here - you won’t regret it!

The hotel is stunning visually. The restaurant food is fantastic. The hotel has the opportunity to be in credible. However, the place is a fiasco. Our a/c was broken. The internet didn't work in our room. The hotel forgot to put water in our room and then couldn't find any making it impossible to brush our teeth or take our medicine. Also, the room with a bathtub has no shower merely a hand-held device. Another room has an open toilet with no privacy. Two friends who were traveling together asked us to switch rooms which we did since we had no shower. The hotel has a lot of potential but it is horribly managed.

they put parking in expédia and it not the case parking is a nightmare there

Beautiful place and the people working at the hotel were so nice.
