Belvedere Fourati Hotel — Hotel in Tunis

I initially booked 3 nights in August and then later extended for an additional 3 nights so 6 nights in total.

I booked a twin room (tried to get double room but was fully booked) for single person. I was able to see what double and junior rooms are like as my friend booked a junior suite and later a double room.

Pros: Room was cleaned on a daily basis. If I stayed in during the morning and went out in the afternoon, this was accommodated for (just make sure you hang sign on door knob). All staff extremely friendly and accommodating (including security, front desk, cleaners, etc.) which made stay more comfortable, especially Rania at the front desk. It is in a good location and can easily reach most key areas (e.g. Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa, Lake of Tunis, Medina, etc.) in Tunis with a single taxi ride less than 30 mins. Rooms have all basic necessities (e.g. kettle, AC, fridge, etc.)

Cons: Breakfast could have more of a variety. Doesn't have the best view. Shuttle transfer is slightly expensive at 55 DT compared to bolt ride.

Final thoughts: If you can afford it, go for double room over twin even if a single traveller. The room is larger, has walk-in shower rather than bath tub with fitted shower cover, has double bed rather than two adjoined single beds. If you can afford junior suite go for that. For a quoted four star hotel, the junior suite felt more like facilities of five star.

If I come to Tunis again, would definitely stay in this hotel again. It is a hidden gem.

Update: Since originally staying here on two separate occasions in August 2023, I have stayed here twice in August 2024, and again twice in April 2025. My experiences during these periods were as good as the original google review. If I ever return to Tunis, I will definitely...

This was my second time in a month at Le Belvedere Fourati hotel, which starts to be like home when I have to stay in Tunis. The hotel is family-managed by the owners themselves, the two brothers Noureddine and Mehdi who are absolutely wonderful and a joy to talk to, answering every query instantantly. All the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating, including receptionists at the front desk, cleaners, waiters, doormen, security/parking agents, etc. - that’s what make this hotel so great, not to say special, and what particularly made my stay more comfortable. Every guest I talked to in the hotel would agree with my quote: “Like Managers, Like Staff”. Indeed, from the breakfast staff who knew what I wanted to eat and drink each morning and brought my omelette, my favourite coffee and fruit juice, to the receptionists who would welcome me each time with smiling faces, until the doorman who would rush to hold my luggage or to manage to find a parking lot for my rented car, and even to any friend willing to visit me in the hotel. The room is always clean and equipped with all the necessary items, as well as the case for the other hotel amenities. The location is also perfect for walking around, including a fresh walk in the nearby Belvedere Park from which the hotel picked its name, or looking for coffee stores or restaurants close by. While the place is pleasantly quiet, it’s only a 20-minute walk to downtown Tunis or its Medina - the old city. In short, this is the ideal place to stay either to do business or to enjoy the visit of many landmarks/cultural/historic places like Le Bardo, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa, etc. Moreover, it’s just 15 minutes from the airport.
All this with an affordable,...

My wife and I stayed in their junior suite for four nights in the middle of April. The staff are friendly and helpful. The suite is very spacious, clean and with good storage space. The bathroom too had ample space and was clean - one of the reasons we chose this hotel after looking at the reviews of comments about poor bathrooms at the more ‘authentic’ hotels closer to the city centre. While our room had one large window the view was to another building only and the air conditioning units. We found the Wi-Fi to be very good. The breakfast while not as extensive as some other countries we have visited nevertheless was of good quality and sufficiently varied for our stay. The rooms have two TVs catering largely to Arabic & French speakers and as English only speakers we reverted to Netflix & Amazon on our iPad. The lounge bar has a nice selection of food along with good coffee. Coming from the UK where smoking inside public places is banned , the bar did have smokers which left our clothes & body smelling. To be fair we found this to be the case in other coffee places in Tunis too. The hotel is about a 30 minute walk from the city centre and attractions. Fine for us as we like to walk, particularly as the weather was pleasant. We used the online Bolt taxi services to go to places further away which is inexpensive. Our thanks to all the staff for their generous...
