Hôtel Medina — Hotel in Sousse

This hotel has its charm as it as an old building located in the old medina close to the Mosque and other attractions in Sousse. The hotel is very big and has several rooms but no elevator so it can take some time walking to your room. ||It is very affordable and maybe one of the cheapest options for accommodation available in Sousse, so it is great for travelers on a budget to get a good sleep and breakfast.||I stayed in this hotel twice during my stay, the first time the toilet in the bathroom was not properly working and the shower was broken, so make sure your bathroom is working before you check-in and if it is not, ask for a different room.||The second time, I stayed in the hotel there was nothing wrong with the bathroom. The hotel is clean. The only comment I have for improvement is to change the mattresses which are old and no longer comfortable and to fix the problems with some of thr bathrooms, as other than the small glitches, the hotel is very nice to stay at. ||The breakfast is basic but good and staff are helpful. This hotel has the lowest price from all the hotels I stayed at in Tunisia for a single room and it would be nice if there were hotels with similar prices in the rest of Tunisia for solo travelers on a budget without having to stay...

Guys - we have to say this was one of the best budget friendly hotels we stayed in Tunisia. Not only was it in a superb location, in the actual medina itself, it a part of ancient history. Who else has ever had a chance to stay in a Palace before? ||||Our room was spacious and bright - very clean. It was located on a higher floor and you had to walk through different staircases to get there. It was a labrynth of wonder. We didn't mind the detour, it was just apart of the experience. Our floor was quiet and we slept well every night and so did our son. ||||We came at low season when it was cool so no need for AC. The tv had some working channels, I think 2 in English. The maid was excellent, clean and thorough and friendly with us. Breakfast was appreciated although it was very sweet. We enjoyed the hard boiled eggs. Us backpackers are grateful for any free food.||||For $20 a night, it was a steal. We were often gone in the day and returned at night and because our hotel was centrally located, we felt safe to walk to it. There is a man at the desk that locks the main door so you have to use the door knocker for him to open. He is usually friendly and whenever we needed assistance, he was always available to help....

I chose this Hotel for it's perfect location, in the heart of the old Medina in Sousse, also as I wanted my travel companion to experience the old area. ||However, unfortunately she could not come through illness so I was moved in to a room for 1 person. ||That was fine for me, however, it was very far back in the Hotel and unfortunately a group of noisy young locals were staying there for 2 nights. The 1st night of 4, they were very loud with shouting, loud music and slamming doors. ||The telephone in my room wasn't working so couldn't call to complain. I did complain the next morning and I was promised that they had been told not to disturb other guests the next night. It worked. ||My room was small, but comfortable double bed, separate bathroom with shower, sink and toiletries. Only thing was that it was very cold weather and the small radiator in the room was barely warm. Breakfast was ok with a choice of cold plate foods with croissants, cheese, yoghurt, bread and hot drinks. ||Very basic, but cheap and polite staff. Only problem was that if you return late, you have to bang on the main door...
