This hotel is "home from home" which is due to the very friendly and very helpful staff who are customer focused. The whole hotel staff team are exceptional in particular Rekik at reception who always collaborated with me in teasing family and friends visiting me at the hotel and Shetaye serving Secial tea & St George beer in the bar where I engaged in good conversation. It is easily accessible from the airport and the breakfast is always excellent.

The room's condition is unsatisfactory, characterized by a lack of cleanliness and an aging, noisy bed. While the location is advantageous, a renovation of the room and an optimization of services are recommended. The staff, however, are professional and respectful.
