Carlton Hotel

( 3 stars , Tunis , Tunisia )

This place has lots of advocates elsewhere online and publishes it's own plaudits on it's website. It's a great location right on the main drag and it's not too pricey but that's about it. Rooms drab and on the small side, TV a bit on the dodgy side and no mini bar - I understand they're having a refit and it does need a bit of a spruce. Worst thing is the noise - of the street, the plumbing, and of adajcent rooms. Not good if you're in need of a peaceful night

As mentioned, perfect location- directly in the heart of the city. Hotel itself is like a school dorm- with extremely basic- sort of depressing rooms, but very clean. Breakfast is not very good. The staff is mixed- some are quite rude whereas others are friendly and helpful.

Nice hotel. Very centrally located. When going to/from the airport take a yellow cab and put him use the counter. It will only be about 5 TD and not 10 TD that they ask you at the hotel. Breakfast was ok but the view out the window wasn't the best one...

Staffs are okay. But somehow they do not smile that much. Breakfast is ok. Little problem with hot water. Takes like 5 mins to get it.

It's a beautiful hotel in the heart of Tunis with very nice staff;-)

I stayed here for 3 nights the hotel was ok. We arrived at midday but there were no rooms ready for us, was told to wait for 1 hour, I decided to go for a slightly more expensive room which was ready. The room I stayed in had A king-size bed, there was no fridge & no TV remote allthough (BBC World News Channel was available). The bathroom was clean & supplied towels & only soap. An interconnecting door was opened to allow our kids to stay in the adjacent room with had 3 single beds. We had 3 balcony’s overlooking Av habib Bourguiba the main street in Tunis. The views were excellent but there was a down side to this which was the noise it was extremely noisy even through the night everyone loves to hoot their car horns. There were AC controls in our room but no safe so we kept our passports at reception. The breakfast was basic, breads, croissants, chesses, some basic cereals & yogurt, tea coffee, & Juice. The location of the hotel is excellent only 10 minutes walk to Medina area cabs not a problem hundreds driving past and the train station only a few minutes walk. Some staff on the reception desk spoke English and was helpful recommended a few place to go, like daah daah park for the kids, which was not in our guide book. The hotel has a website too just google hotel carlton tunis. Overall not bad but not great hotel, making this an average place to stay.

We stayed for two nights at the Carlton Hotel in Tunis. The rooms were immaculately clean, cleaner than any of the resorts we stayed at in the beach towns. The staff was incredibly friendly and would joke and laugh with us when we passed through. An added bonus is that at the end of the block is the world's best patisserie, The Sweet House, and it has beautiful, delicious, and inexpensive gourmet pastries! It's a great value.

I only stayed in this hotel for one night but found it to be perfectly fine. The staff on the front desk are friendly and (as mentioned before) speak fine English. The rooms were ok, and everything was in working order. I found that both the best and worst points of this hotel was the location - it is located right on the main strip of Tunis (like most Tunisian towns, this was Avenue Habib Bourgiba). This was great for exploring and having a quick drink in a cafe. It was also an easy 10 minute walk to the main train station and even closer ( about 5 minutes) to the TGM station (trains to Carthage, Sidi Bou Said). The downside to this was the noise - the traffic is noticiable well into the night. So, for a short stay close to everything Tunis has to offer, where too much sleep isn't all that important, I would certainly recommend a stay in this hotel.

One of my favorite old world hotel in Tunisia. Centrally located, with excellent hotel staff and services. Modest size room but fully equiped (including WI-FI access)

I stayed there for 3 nights. The hotel stuff was very polite and helpful and they speak english (not so common in Tunisia). The rooms were a bit dark (as mentioned in another review) but clean and comfortable. There is (of course) air condition and the prices were very reasonable The hotel is located on Tunis' central avenue (sorry, I can't remember the name) and in walking distance from almost all the highlights of the city.
