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

orientalisches Schmuckstück
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.

Pas pour un couple !
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.

Das Personal der Unterkunft, insbesondere Munir, nimmt seine Aufgabe als Leiter einer Jugendherberge sehr ernst. Man wird in ein nettes Gespräch verwickelt und ein paar gute Tipps für den Aufenthalt.

Die Leute vor Ort sind so liebevoll und freundlich! Ein Zimmer in dem Sinne kann man nicht erwarten, es sind im Grunde Ecken mit Trennwand, sprich keine eigenen Räume. Geschlechtergetrennte Bäder gibts nicht. 1 Dusche/Toilette für alle im oberen Teil des Gebäudes. Nach mir wurde liebevoll gefragt, nachdem ich zum Frühstück nicht erschien weil ich verschlafen hatte aber als ich am nächsten Morgen kam war ich geschockt. Es gab nur Kaffee mit Milch, Zitronen Konfitüre, Butter und abgeschnittene Baguette Stückchen. Mehr nicht.
Also für einen Kurzaufenthalt mitten in der Medina von Tunis für Menschen die nichts erwarten ist das vllt was aber für mehr nicht.

Thieves
I didn't even stay, when I called after I booked and paid, they told they have no reservations. They very much stole my money because when they hung up on me.
