“The hotel's prime location, mere steps from the train station and a short walk to the Roman amphitheater, is undeniable. While the in-room WiFi is a drawback, the immaculate rooms and blackout shades are a welcome comfort. I particularly appreciated the option to dine in-house to savor Mediterranean and Tunisian cuisine.”
