I'll start my sad story with the fact that I read the comments of people and was simply shocked. Of course, I can admit that in 2008 and 2009 the hotel building looked more promising and presentable, but still I believe my eyes more than the words of my predecessors. so from the start. . .

so from the start. . .
On the way from Monastir airport we stopped at several hotels. Sitting with a friend on the bus and laughing from the facades of buildings and hotel lobbies with chairs exposed to the main entrance. Of course, there was confidence that our destination, based on the photo gallery (we must pay tribute to the illusionist photographer - I rate him 5+, he is fluent in Photoshop), will be at least 3 times better than what he saw at the beginning of our "bright path" ".
So the guide announced the name of the hotel and the nightmare began. . .
The first thing that caught my eye was a dilapidated 8-storey building with aluminum doors at the main entrance, a rubbish bin full of rubbish and the complete absence of a concierge. The lobby is very modest, the reception desk resembles old Soviet hotels, the front office staff hardly understands and does not speak English at all. . . We received the room key while waiting. that the long-awaited comfort awaits there, but it was not there.
Opening the treasured door, we were amazed at the condition of the carpet. Everywhere on the floor there was dust, stains and sawdust of dry grass. The noise of the air conditioner was like the sound of an airplane on the runway. Wall sconces with suspicious stains on the shades. . . A bathroom with broken tiles in places, long hair stuck to the glasses, a clogged sink and a rusty bathroom with a moldy curtain. . . Trying to turn on the TV, pressing the button at the bottom, the panel fell off. The table in front of the mirror looked like an ancient structure made of tiles and inexpensive stone, the windows of the balcony were stained and imprinted, on the balcony itself there was a plastic table with a thick layer of dust and two similar chairs. . . The view from our balcony overlooking the city looked like total chaos.
Around 23-00 local time, we decided to go out to inspect the area. There was a feeling of hopelessness and emptiness, as if no one else lived in this hotel except us. Deaf silence, not a soul around, even the staff, the pool is not visible, as it is completely without lighting, and the complete lack of entertainment, which was written in the description of the hotel.
I would not like to judge by the Nahrawess Boujaafar 4 * hotel about the service in Tunisia, but without prejudice I will say that the hotel does not cost even $ 200. For the whole week of stay, the carpet was not vacuumed either in the rooms or on the territory of the hotel, the beaches were not cleaned, there were no guards or fences on the territory of the hotel, so the beach was teeming with local residents... the pool was not cleaned, towels were changed every 3 days, and after the replacement there was an unbearable smell of vinegar, there was not even a question about the sheets. In a word - HELL!! ! The food has never pleased - stingy breakfasts, poor dinners and a complete lack of water. as if for them it is a canopy of gold. To go on half board means to survive in harsh conditions, you have to pay for everything (0.5 of water cost 2.5 dinars in their canteen). Indifferent staff who do not understand English. It’s scary to go out into the street - wild, clinging Arabs are everywhere with obscene offers, indescribable dirt and the stench of garbage that surrounds everywhere...
Every day we woke up with the thought "what will happen today? " - On the last day, they were ready to kiss the Ukrainian land upon arrival at home.
Conclusion - in Tunisia, we no longer have a foot !! ! The country is not surprised by anything. What they call cafes is hardly a beer eatery. The words "hygiene", "service" and "respect" are empty sounds in this country. The hotel absolutely does not deserve a star rating, it would be more honest to call it a poor hostel!! !

Before the trip, we studied the reviews. We stopped at this hotel because. the reviews were more or less adequate and the price suited them, they took all-inclusive. They didn’t expect anything super, they were ready. Who goes to this hotel, take rooms with a sea view. they could catch this guide, then he doesn’t have time, then he’s busy and everything like that, well, he was very busy dealing with clients, but he flew in instantly for money for excursions.

Who goes to this hotel, take rooms with a sea view. they could catch this guide, then he doesn’t have time, then he’s busy and everything like that, well, he was very busy dealing with clients, but he flew in instantly for money for excursions. -we lived on the 6th floor !!! ), but the stink (garbage dumps will envy) was terrible when you opened the balcony, a gag reflex worked. Perhaps such smells are here in August when it’s hot, I don’t know and I don’t want to check... Around the city moved with a handkerchief at the nose. I want to say right away that there is no such stink and dirt in other cities (Hammamed, Tunisia) and in Port El Kantaoui (a suburb of Sousse is a tourist area, very civilized without stench and dirt, devastation, and sellers they don’t grab hands and don’t stick) The hotel is very old, well, practically Literally everything in it is just as ancient - the air conditioner is not regulated in the room, the hair dryer falls apart in the hands, there is no drain, the shower does not hold on (take a screwdriver at least you can fix it), for 15 days the linen was not changed - although they left dinars, in the bathroom 1 once they put shampoo, gel and 2 tiny pieces of soap for 2 people, half of the switches are not working. As for the service: "All inclusive" in this hotel appeared recently and the owners themselves have not decided what it includes yet, or they are kidding. In general, it included: local vodka (not buha !! ), local whiskey, gin and local wine, too. they know how to do what they give, it looks like cocoa heavily diluted with water without white, tasty foam), juice and cakes - which we have not seen even once in half a month. wine - white and pink are quite worthy, red is disgusting, gin is normal, the rest did not drink alcohol. The food was good and varied, Separate respect to the confectioner - cakes, mousses, and whatever you can think of, everything was very tasty and not cloying. The hotel has practically no territory - a veranda and around the pool. "Beach" - for extreme sports lovers - it seems that it has not been cleaned since the hotel was built (since the 900-shaggy years), there are glass and pistachio shells (I personally pulled it out of my leg), and all sorts of cleanings and waste products... well, and algae . . The sea is dirty and algae is everywhere, it’s not pleasant, and it was calm from 6 in the morning to 11 o’clock, then very strong waves until night. Rescued two swimming pools with sea water (one indoor heated). Thallasotherapy was done: friend - 2 days course 4 procedures a day, I 4 days 4 procedures each. It's cool and generally pleasant, but...
if you do not know Arabic or French, it is problematic to figure out what and how. and not for free! ! these services are recalculated only in euros, and then already in dinars or dollars. A mandatory visit to the doctor for which you also pay 12 euros, and the doctor is asked if there were fractures, operations, they measure pressure and weigh. which without knowing Arabs. and French you learn the language when they are made to you. Having made a course and sorted out their wording, I can say that I would replace some, but it's too late. Masseurs work conscientiously - different massage options usually prescribe relaxation, or you could take anti-cellulite or even others. Massage under a jet of sea water - the girl did it very soundly - from the top of her head to the heels and did not stroke, but it dispersed the blood and what else was under the skin (can be compared with Thai massage). they smear it with heated sea slurry, wrap it in cellophane up to the throat and cover it with a thermo-unliftable blanket) and turn on the heating for 20 minutes, only the head is not involved, which, due to the heat, begins to sweat vilely and becomes ticklish from running sweat, but you can’t scratch it. once the manager connected me and, it seems, did not know how it works, as a result, this business did not warm up. I had to force the procedure to be redone with a smile. Then they forgot about me at another procedure - creo therapy - this is when you are laid on a sunbed with your legs up - your legs are wrapped with a cloth soaked in something and covered with a thermal blanket, and after 15 minutes they must unfold and let go, They forgot about me for an hour (as then it turned out) the feeling was that everything was frostbitten to my waist. I had to yell NLP. But in general, thalasso should be done for at least 6 days, and preferably 10, then there will be a lasting effect. Excursions are a song without words . . True, the Tunisians themselves say that according to their chronology they live in the 15th century, so what do you want from them ? ? Were on 4 trips. If anyone is interested, write, I will describe the data of the trip. And the result is this: You can go to talosso therapy and the duration of the trip should be calculated clearly for this matter + 2 days maximum. Arabs do not like Russians, although they treated us more or less respectfully, but many Russians do not know how to behave in a foreign country (especially in an Arab ), few people bother to take an interest in the peculiarities of this country. I advise you to learn a minimum of words in Arabic thanks-shukran, hello-aslema, goodbye-bislema, how are you-le bes, well-begi. Although I was very different from Arab women in appearance, minimal communication on Arabic has always worked. Take an interest - you won’t regret it, and it’s not a very complicated language. There is by and large nothing to buy except for souvenirs and sweets (but this is in my opinion) leather products (jackets, bags, shoes) well, quiet horror, even what is sold at auction malls under brands -looks disgusting
but, and upon closer inspection, you start to giggle. There are good carpets, especially silk ones, but to carry it... They are traded everywhere, even in some shops of shopping centers, where supposedly fixed prices. In general, the climate is not bad. but in August there is nothing to do there and, especially in Ramadan (Arabs become furious with horror), it is floating - this year from August 22 to September 22. We flew away on August 23, which was incredibly happy.

I always try to write an objective opinion about hotels and when I read the next bad reviews about the hotel I was in, I just don’t pay attention to them, because a lot of what they write is complete nonsense ! ! Therefore, I will try to write my objective opinion about this hotel. I visited Tunisia for the first time, because Turkey, Egypt are very tired, to be honest, I won’t go there for the second time! There is absolutely nothing to do there! The meeting party - Carthage + was met well, Irina did not like the guide, who did not tell us anything about the country.

Therefore, I will try to write my objective opinion about this hotel. I visited Tunisia for the first time, because Turkey, Egypt are very tired, to be honest, I won’t go there for the second time! There is absolutely nothing to do there! The meeting party - Carthage + was met well, Irina did not like the guide, who did not tell us anything about the country. The hotel is located in the center of Sousse, the location of the hotel is very good! The facade of the building is shabby, the hotel itself is very old. It was built a long time ago, every year only the reconstruction of the facade of the building is carried out, this year it should be bought out, I think if it is completely restored, there will be nothing. The hotel area is small. Settled quickly and without problems, gave a room with a view of the sea, fruit was brought to the room. The room was cleaned every day, towels changed every day. There is no animation at the hotel during the day, sometimes shows were held in the evening. There are very few Russians in the hotel, mostly Germans and French. All the staff speaks French, which is not very convenient, almost no one speaks English. The air conditioning in the room is so old that it took a while to figure out that it was air conditioning at all. Throughout the rest, he constantly dripped, which caused stains on the carpet. The furniture is all old. Nearby is the Medina (souvenirs are sold there, it’s not cheap at all, there is a state store, prices are normal there). On the way to the Medina, there are unpleasant smells in the street. There is a Russian restaurant not far from the hotel, we went 1 time and did not go again. We went 3 times to port el Kantaoui, passage 2.5 dinars. The port is beautiful and green. There are singing fountains there, in my opinion, you won’t surprise anyone with this. The hotel has its own beach, but a lot of residents swim in the territory of our hotel! there were no fences, all the locals walked across our beach! We ordered an excursion to the Sahara and Sidi Bou Said from Irina (only because we were advised by everyone who was there). I honestly regret the wasted 3 days. After many countries that I saw, I was upset by these excursions, this is probably interesting for those people who are just going abroad for the first time. In a tour of the Sahara, I liked only El Jem (Colosseum). The tour is extended for 2 days, First you visit El-Jem, then Mahres (where you watched an exhibition of local residents, nonsense made by residents from all sorts of junk and saw the sea, where algae rise above the water and there is a terrible stench), then you saw how the Berbers live (in caves), looked at the lunar paths where star wars were filmed, complete nonsense. in fact, they do not live there, but only housing in the form of a museum and some 2 residents who asked for money, although they were quite well dressed, then visited Duz (gateway to the desert), where they could ride camels. The heat was below 60 degrees, and it was necessary to wrap up in national clothes and ride a camel for an hour. We stopped nearby for the night at the Le Saharien hotel in the desert (the rooms are old, cockroaches run across the bed). The next morning we got up at 4 am and drove on. . The next stop was Lake Chot el Jerid (there is no lake, only salt and sand). There you could buy 2 large and 1 small packages of dates for 10 dinars (on arrival home, it turned out that the dates were dry in cardboard 2 boxes, and fresh in a small transparent one). After that there was a trip in jeeps (land cruiser jeeps of the old model), we drove them for 3 hours with stops. Jeeps are scary. Firstly, we flew down from such mountains, and secondly, we sat in 3 places in a jeep, it’s better not to sit there, because it’s very hard to hold on and it’s unbearable to ride. Then the stop where Lucas filmed the Star Wars movie, the scenery from the filming of the film remained there (I don’t know who needs this and is generally interested), then the next stop was lunch in Gafsa, then followed to Kairouan (buy only souvenirs there! we are 15 dinars Bought a lot of everything! ). In general, such a trip to the Sahara. A trip to Sidi Bou Said is about the same. The only thing that I liked about this excursion was the Bardo Museum (Museum of Roman Mosaics). We spent quite a bit of time in the capital in Tunisia, then visited Carthage (or rather, all that was left of it). Guide Aleksey well done, gave very interesting information! The only thing that I really liked in Tunisia was the sea and sand. The sea is shallow, clear, warm! Although there were people who come to Tunisia again, I honestly would not want to go again!

A normal hotel in the very center of the city (because of this it is quite noisy), I liked the rooms most of all with a view of the pool and the sea, it is more quiet there and the view is the most beautiful. The hotel area is very small, but quite cozy, clean, but it would not hurt to update everything a little bit.

The hotel area is very small, but quite cozy, clean, but it would not hurt to update everything a little bit. There are no complaints about the hotel building itself. The staff is friendly, for all 10 days of stay I didn’t notice any flaws, well, except for the little things - soap, shampoos, as they put 2 packs on the first day, so the stocks were not replenished until the end of the holiday. The food is decent, although not very varied. The beach is small, but still its own, they cleaned it regularly, the only thing I didn’t like was that the exit from the hotel to the beach was closed at 18:00 - 18:30 and in order to swim in the sea field of this time, I had to go around the entire territory of the hotel and go there through the city beach, and you can’t take a sunbed with a mattress in the evening. In general, the overall impressions are good, the hotel is worth the money.

Normal hotel for normal money. A bit old, but in the very center of the city, and since taxis are not cheap, this is an advantage. Normal cuisine, breakfast and dinner enough. Very few Russians, more Germans, Italians, French. Cons - a dirty beach, ignorance of English by the staff, and in general there is only French in the city.

A year later, we visited this hotel. And everything that was written by Anatoly is the true truth. In fact, there is nothing to add, except perhaps just a kind word to remember and thank the Tunisian tour operator "Multi-Voyage", friendly, caring, interesting excursion to the Sahara. Rest was 5 stars. 10 days flew by like one.

If I had to describe this hotel in one word, I would say - solid. Friendly staff (all requests are answered instantly), clean comfortable rooms with good cleaning, although small, but YOUR beach (no need to cross the highway and the promenade, as in other hotels), not exquisite, but quite good and varied food, thalassotherapy .

The advantages include the fact that the hotel is located in the heart of the old part of Sousse. Five minutes walk and you are already in the port, the same amount to the Medina. There are dozens of restaurants, cafes and shops around. You can have fun in the evening in discos and nightclubs.
