Outdated and overpriced. The property is very old design and not repainted, the heating is old radiators which are not sufficient for the cold. Shared spaces and close quarters are not good for privacy. This is a bed and breakfast from a nice couple, but not what we needed at the time. The garden is not maintained and consists of outdated handmade funiture. The guest house is a 2 story climb up a spiral staircase to a small room with no substantial heat, TV or ample space. Room service is nonexistent and all food must extra pay for dining with the hosts, also overpriced. We filled out an old fashioned papework, took a bath, and immediately went to the Marigold some 3 blocks away. Quaint, but unnecessary. I did thank the owner Ali for his efforts, but unfortunately it was not modern enough for our desire.

The best hotel a Tunisi

Siamo stati 5 notti in questo piacevole location. Pulizia ottima e disponibilità Famigliare. Grazie ad Ali.

We had a lovely stay at Villa Les Palmes! Our hosts were so welcoming and helpful and we enjoyed delicious food during our entire stay, and our room was very comfy and always clean.

This was a charming and comfortable place to spend several days in Tunis. It’s old and lovely and the hosts are excellent and incredibly kind and knowledgeable. It is quiet and peaceful and a little quirky with old movie posters and fabulous antiques. Highly recommended and we would happily stay again.

Very nice mom and pop bed and breakfast. They are amazingly friendly and the lady of the house makes amazing food.

The property has good potentials, but some improvements are needed to make more comfortable.

Avoid this place

The property has potential however overall I did not have a successful stay. Upon check in I was advised that the room had a shared bathroom. The owner advised that he had a room with a private bathroom but this was more expensive. He advised me to cancel the original reservation and re-book the en-suite room and he would authorise a refund via Hotels.com for the full cost of the original booking. I did this with great difficulty, as to why this could not have been sorted locally I am still unsure! Anyway Hotels.com emailed to advise the owner had not waived the cancellation fee for the original booking. When I approached him he stated they had not contacted him. I wasted two days of my holiday dealing with this. The owner then said that as the second booking was made using a promotional rate (but still much higher value than the original booking) he wanted me to give him the amount of the promotion back in order for him to agree the refund of the original reservation - basically blackmail. It was clear he had not responded to Hotels.com intentionally and this was part of his game to extract more money from me. Added to this the hotel had no heating on my first night and was not comfortable. The owner spends all of his time chain smoking in the kitchen - yes Kitchen! Meaning the whole place smelled of cigarette smoke. The breakfast was very basic and of poor quality and finally the photos on the website are not recent and not a true reflection. I do not recommend.

Recommended!

It was a great stay! very fliendly and good service

Toujours un plaisant séjour à Villa Les Palmes !

Excellent séjour comme toujours

Central location- great host - historic villa. Lots of good restaurants nearby. Well decorated and comfortable.

Suite was very private and roomy. Shared bathroom didn't create a problem as we were the only ones staying there.

Relaxing stay

Wonderful hotel, super helpful staff, beautiful, quiet rooms and a lovely garden in the back where you can sit and enjoy a coffee. The fresh cooked breakfast is a nice way to start the day. The rooms are very clean, the beds have cozy duvets and plenty of pillows. We were there in the winter and the rooms had heat and were plenty warm. Our room was up 2 floors of stairs, they also have ground level rooms (and stairs are the norm in Tunis). The sitting area outside our room was nice and relaxing, a bit of extra shared space to sit down. And the rooms are quiet, many places in the city can can be loud, or noisy, car honking, dogs barking, etc, but the rooms here are so very quiet, silent even! The bathroom for a room with a private one are huge and clean. The hot water is consistent and warm. We did not speak French or Arabic and the staff was very accommodating and patient, they spoke enough English to make communication possible and straight forward. We would definitely stay here again and recommend the hotel!

The property was very close to the airport, and the owner Ali could not have been more accomodating! He picked me up from the airport, helped me plan the entirety of my stay in Tunis, and even offered to BBQ my last night in Tunis. The breakfasts were very fulling and just as nicely prepared.

Be careful in choosing a room. This is NOT A HOTEL. So, they tried to give me a room with a 'shared' bathroom. Also, the "Free" parking was 5 euros per night!

Charmant et confortable

Séjourner chez Ali est une expérience mémorable ! La villa, parfaitement placée, offre un havre de paix grâce à son magnifique jardin et sa décoration ravissante. Chaque matin, un petit-déjeuner raffiné et généreux ravit les papilles. Les chambres, chacune avec son propre style, apportent confort et chaleur. Ali, assure une expérience agréable et chaleureuse pour ses invités. Une adresse incontournable pour mêler découvertes urbaines et moments de détente !

Commentaire de Greg

Accueil agréable , le style de l’hôtel est très chaleureux, chambres impeccables Possibilité de manger sur place , Madame cuisine très bien. Ali le propriétaire est très professionnel et fait tout pour bien recevoir les hôtes

Molto positiva, torno volentieri per i prossimi viaggi.

Cosy et spacieux, une vraie évasion

Si vous recherchez de l’authenticité et un accueil personnalisé, vous êtes à la bonne adresse ! Décor, que ce soit dans les parties communes ou dans les chambres, fait voyager, raconte des histoires. Les hôtes sont aux petits soins avec les voyageurs et sont très arrangeants. Personnel gentil et attentionné. On se croit vraiment comme chez soi. Je garde un très bon souvenir de mon séjour, et je n’hésiterai pas à y retourner !

Tres bon acceuil et conseils pour le séjour. Echange par Facebook facile et reactif. On se sent comme chez soi. Décoration éclectique et originale reussie. Le quartier est calme et agréable. Centre et aeroport facilement accessibles. C est mon deuxième sejour et je reviendrai.
