not without flaws
It's a rather good place in the city to stay. Rooms are freshly renovated and match the pics and description.
Very generous breakfast incl. warm dishes, crepe and omelett "on demand".
The all-around service though: unfortunately we had to write a claim to the chain's customer service to get service we supposed to get from the begging of our stay.

Almost perfect
The customer service manager and the entire customer service team were great. Shout out to the customer service manager that organized a tour of Carthage for me; an unforgettable experience!
I understand saving energy costs, but the room was never really cool due to the fact they don't cool the rooms prior to a guest's arrival and you always need to leave your room key in the slot in order to maintain power. I was rarely comfortable in my room as a result.
The pool is glorious and the buffet breakfasts while repetitive were nutrious, varied and delicious.

The room was very nice, bed was quite comfortable slept fantastic. Visually esthetically pleasing to the eyes. Clean and didn't smell.
Bathroom was also spacious with a great shower.
Room Temperature was terrible however and quite warm as Air Conditioner was not working.
I had set the controller to 16.5° Cold setting on maximum fan speed, window closed yet it did not cool the room in the slightest. It remained at "room temp 24.5" our entire stay.
breakfast buffet was quite nice. many options to choose from, nothing tasted bland either. many drink choices as well.
staff were fairly friendly and were helpful whenever asked a question, check in was simple mostly though having to fill out a career questionaire was a little odd. Stay at the room was quiet, no loud noises. if I ever return to tunisia might have to come back here for my hotel choice long as the air conditioner works next time.
There is a bar hang out down stairs and a pool, pool is shallow to around 7ft deep. Small pool though.
Rooms allow smoking, as had a ashtray.
Couch is comfortable, though a firm foam.
Unless youre a couple or solo shower warning: the outer wall of the bathroom is transparent glass so you can see into the shower from the bedroom if standing near the glass.
Cleanliness: 5☆

View is okay.
No balcony.
Fix the AC and it's a near 5☆ experience.
