The gateway to the Medina. It is the perfect location. The staff are attentive and helpful. An oasis after a hot and dusty day exploring the Medina.

10/10 Exceptional

We LOVED the stay at the Royal Victorian! The interior is gorgeous and intricately painted. It was our anniversary trip, and they laid rose petals and hearts with swan-shaped towels for us in our very clean room. We had a small balcony which overlooked the square which was lovely, and being just next to the Medina was perfect for what we wanted. Water and minifridge provided, tea and coffee, and if you want, room service. They also held our bags for the afternoon while we toured the city!

Classic building …

Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I’ve stayed twice and will say the rooms are ok and the breakfast is great. The location is excellent if you want to see “real Tunis” because if you walk three blocks away from the Medina the city gets more interesting

Beautiful building

Lovely hotel in a beautiful old building. The location between the medina and the modern shopping strip is excellent, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed 2 nights in this wonderful hotel. The location is excellent, in Victoria Square where Avenue Habib Bourguiba meets with Tunis Medina through the gate of the city called Beb Bhar. The hotel itself is unique in decoration. Room view is outstanding, comfortable, all amenities available in toilet. Breakfast buffet is very nice, friendly staff and service.

Great location

This historic hotel, boasting a few centuries of respectable heritage, enjoys a prime location adjacent to the French gate, the heart of Tunis. While the room's small size slightly compromised comfort, its proximity to high traffic areas posed a challenge for my asthma (perhaps I should have kept the windows closed). A notable highlight was the courteous staff, who kindly provided us with umbrellas when raining.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing location, very friendly staff, excellent food, and it was like being in a museum in terms of decor. The only real problem was the poor internet quality. It was so poor that you couldn't even watch YouTube videos without them freezing. Other than that, I would for sure stay there again. Just don't plan on working online for an extended period of time while there.
