It remains a mystery to me why we have no one responsible for the control and quality of TOUR PRODUCTS!
WHO authorized the sale of this, literally, smelly bed bug on the Russian tourist market, and at the prices of decent 3-star hotels? ! After all, in addition to Russian tourists, who are brought daily in batches to this viper, the main contingent of guests are Algerian citizens of different age categories, under which this hotel is imprisoned. In this (I don’t dare to say) “hotel” literally FROM THE THRESHOLD, not only did it not smell of any stardom, absolute unsanitary conditions and completely unsuitable conditions for living have reigned in it for 20 years (at least). What kind of REST in this terrible place can we talk about? !
It's hard to find any description for this murdered hostel, kindly offered by the tour operator Pegas Tristik (and by the way, a couple of other famous tour operators) as a "good three-ruble note" ...But I'll still try. So...


I'll start with the fact that at the "hotel" Le Khalife 3 * "- right under its name flaunt 2 stars. But the fact is that this hotel does not even correspond to the declared 2 stars. Then you need to offer it with appropriate reservations and according to And not to break the triple price and not mislead tourists who are focused on a standard economical vacation in 3 *** hotels. rotten ALWAYS have the appropriate marking (or they have the appropriate TYPE).
And if you VERY want to buy cheaper, in this case the buyer CONSCIOUSLY sees a lack of goods and CONSCIOUSLY makes his choice (cheap rotten tomatoes, ZATO for 20 rubles). In the case of Le Khalife, it turns out that they sell it as a respected 3 * club-type hotel (also with ALL INCLUSIVE !! ! ! ), And at the cost of "quality tomatoes". And the stuffing is completely rotten! Not even just rotten, but really dangerous for the health of tourists ! ! !

Dear compatriots! PLEASE REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS HOTEL AND NEVER CHOOSE IT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! Because you will eventually get a vile fake called "REST". You will lose your money and spend your nerves on the next one.

- The renovation of the building (if it ever was there at all) was made at least 20 years ago. Therefore, we had the honor to contemplate the almost worn-out hotel building (by the way, without air conditioning at the reception, bar and dining room).
Filthy to a disgusting state of the room with gray washed-out linen, a balcony meter by meter, falling apart faucets, lack of toilet brushes and other killed components of the room. There are no TVs in the rooms. Noise isolation is zero - every step or rustle in the corridor is heard from the room. At the reception, they will kindly change your room for 2 dinars per day to a "like a suite", which is a little more spacious, but still pathologically dirty.

- The territory of the hotel is a small, filthy terrace with a small scene, 4 scary, lopsided umbrellas from old age, plastic tables and chairs greasy from dirt. And a pool of water (which was last changed under Tsar Peas, so it has the consistency of syrup), in which noisy companies of Algerian guests constantly bathe.

Since the terrace is not treated with elementary cleaning products, insects of various sizes crawl out on it in the evenings (including huge beetles and cockroaches, which also fly and calmly land on the heads of tourists resting on the terrace - I personally saw 2 cases when a woman was bitten to blood by a healthy cockroach And two more girls this insect scared to a faint when it landed on the head of one, and the second tried to drive it off the head of a friend).

- The complete lack of a range of dishes in the dining room. You can’t even call this monotony - there is simply NO choice. Every day we observed only 2 types of "food": rotten and non-edible (half-cooked rice, half-rotten vegetables, rotten sausage, terrible fish heads instead of fish). As a result, constant indigestion and poisoning, and not only with us alone.

- Service - this word, in principle, is not applicable to this hotel.
Literally from the first day, the reception staff (and later the dining room staff) made it clear to us that HERE the staff lives according to their own laws and their own life independent of tourists. Moreover, the staff WORK, and the task of tourists is to try not to interfere with it and NOT to distract employees from their important affairs with stupid questions, requests, orders, etc. And it is very important that newly arrived tourists do not take it into their heads to violate this clear, well-established chain of command. Otherwise, the staff not only ignores, but sharply points out to the tourist in his place. Example: we are a bartender serving tables on the terrace, bring us mineral water. Since we did not take "all inclusive", we will pay for the water accordingly. The husband in the correct form 3 times in half an hour reminded this bartender serving other tourists that we are still waiting for our order.

Once again, passing by us, the bartender did not hesitate to tell her husband that he remembers our order, but he has a lot of work to do! As a result, we were forced to bring our own mineral water from the room (by the way, the same brand that is sold in the bar). To which, within 2 minutes, the same bartender immediately appeared near our table (without our order! ) And informed us (verbatim! ), that if we do not remove this water under the table, he will call the boss, and he will ask us for it in a cruder way. To which I was even delighted and asked to invite the boss to me for a more detailed conversation regarding the quality of service in this institution. And there are dozens of such examples per day.

- The absence of any infrastructure within a radius of at least 4 kilometers (including shops and restaurants where you can buy food or have a normal lunch). The hotel is located in a private sector on the outskirts of Hammamet.
Taxis need to be constantly waited for or caught, because taxi drivers, apparently, call in THIS part of the city only when delivering tourists, or in great need. Yes, 2 beautiful hotels AZIZA 4 * and Redisson Blue 5 * flaunt nearby - whose guests have beautiful spacious areas with their own beach and service, and do not urgently need an additional promenade area or shopping outside their hotels.

- If you are sure that the sea and the beach can smooth out any disadvantage of a bad hotel, then this is a deep delusion. 400 meters from the sea - this is a blatant FALSE. In fact, the sea is located almost a kilometer away from the hotel, since there is no direct path to it. But it's still half the trouble.
In fact, the "beach" is a completely filthy state of a small area for swimming and sunbathing, with a pack of wild lichen dogs living on it, guarding all this territory littered with slops, broken-down sunbeds, piles of algae and camel feces that cannot be removed, and other unsanitary elements of garbage presented on this "beach" in abundance. On the territory of this site there is a small, the same broken-down shack, such as a "gazebo", from which a local man periodically jumps out, and seeing that you suddenly settled down on a more or less strong sunbed, he immediately informs you that this particular sunbed is "private" . And if you want to sunbathe on it - then you have to pay him for a schislong. All 3 days that we spent in this "wonderful" place - we went to the beaches of the AZIZA 4 * and Redisson Blue 5 * hotels. At least it makes sense to pay for chaise longues and holidays on THESE beaches.

- Animation in Le Khalife is loud and monotonous, ending no earlier than 24 hours. Therefore, you will not have to sleep until the end of the animation program. Even if the windows and the balcony are tightly closed, the loose wooden frames on the windows and the balcony create the effect of the full presence of animation right in the room.

Personally, it was literally painful for me to contemplate the oppressed, haggard faces and wandering, depressed looks of our compatriots who visit this institution every day and do not understand what THEY are doing here. It is sad and disgusting to realize that only thanks to such a "wonderful" hotel as "Le Khalife", any person who once visited Tunisia will erase it from his heart forever, and leave only the most disgusting memories of this wonderful hospitable country as a whole.

It's not even about how I got there...
Thank God, I visit Tunisia regularly, I had the good fortune to live in various kinds of hotels, including, I have been in economical hotels. I perfectly imagine what a (at least economical) three-ruble note should be in Tunisia, as well as I know perfectly well what hotels of 4 * and 5 * categories are in the same Tunisia. But what is sold under the name "Hotel Le Khalife" - does not meet ANY STANDARDS, not to mention INTERNATIONAL REQUIREMENTS. And what we personally saw for 3 days in this disgusting rooming house is called SILENT HORROR!

I want to express special gratitude to the hotel guide Yulia for her responsibility, conscientious performance of duties and replacement of the hotel without additional payments. Julia, I am sincerely grateful to you and deeply grateful for your patience, for your attention and participation in our requests, and for helping to solve our problem!
