Dar Ben Gacem

This was a traditional Dar in the medina. Our room was small but wonderful. We loved staying here and walking around Tunis and the medina. The weather warmed up for us and we got to sit in the courtyard for an amazing breakfast and got to meet some new friends. Staff was lovely and helped with luggage up some stairs. I highly recommend staying here!

Fantastic place, truly beautiful inside, comfortable rooms and great breakfast. Location right in the Medina close to lots of sights.

Very nice hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Its location is excellent, close to the Old Medina and shopping areas, making it convenient for exploring and enjoying the surroundings.

Great location

10 minutes walk

Sana and Dali were very friendly, pleasant and helpful. The medina location is perfect and quiet, sufficiently away from the huddle and bussle of the medina. A taxi can actually get quite near to the Dar.

Great location within Médina. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was very artistic and creatively designed. Got a good feel of life in a Dar. Would highly recommend.

If you want to be in the Messina, it’s perfectly located. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Room was good too.

Delicious breakfast

Beautiful "dar", very kind and helpful staff, good breakfast, great location in the medina, lovely rooftop.

A place of enormous charm, with welcoming helpful staff and a perfect restoration of an old building. I cannot recommend it enough!

Great location if you want to explore the Medina. Furniture and rooms are a bit dated but it’s part of the charm. Staff were friendly at check in. WiFi only worked near the door of my room.

Staff was argumentative and rude after hotel had sent us an airport pick up confirmation including cost and front desk claimed their eMail was wrong, we owed more. The young man was downright nasty and thereafter passive aggressive with poor attitude. Very disappointing "welcome"

Staff was amazing and very friendly. Enjoyed the stay.

C breakfast could be more intresting considering other Dars I stayed in this trip. Very basic breakfast

This property has a very accommodating host and it is exceptionally clean. Everyone working here is extremely helpful and kind. Dar Ben Gacem is beautiful, with rooftop views and amazing tile and architecture throughout. There are many areas to relax and enjoy the ambience. The breakfast has delicious food and an outstanding chef. If you need anything, they are always there to help. Another way they accommodate guest is by speaking English, Arabic and French. I highly recommend this establishment, we will most definitely return.

Property was well maintained and in a good part of the old Madina. The room faces a courtyard and is extremely noisy. We were kept up past midnight due to other guests laughing and talking loudly. The bed is in a nook, surrounded on 3 sides by walls, so one person had to crawl over the other to get out. There were no blankets on the bed so we froze. We had to wear our full clothes and sweaters in bed but barely slept all night. What hotel welcomes their guests with nothing but sheets on their beds? It was a real shame, because otherwise it was neat renovated historical residence.

Lovely people and comfortable room.

Little gem, nestled in the heart of the Medina. Extremely cozy and hosted by people full of warmth and charm.

There are many things to like about this Riad. First and foremost was the excellent staff. They arranged a pick up and drop off at the airport 50 dinar each way. One of the downsides to Tunis is the dishonest taxi drivers. This was an excellent price and such a relief to see our driver waiting with my name when we arrived. The rooms are exquisitely decorated and very comfortable. The only real criticism we had was the shower head which was hand held - in summer this wouldn’t be such a problem but in winter it was difficult to lather yourself and stay warm. Breakfast was very good and the bed comfortable. There was also a small fridge. The Riad is located near the edge of the Medina and there are lots of shops as well as the souks. There are two very upmarket restaurants close by but you have to walk further to find cheaper local places to eat. Especially pleasing was the hotel organising a driver to take us to El Jem which is two hours south of Tunis.
