There are many things to like about this Riad. First and foremost was the excellent staff. They arranged a pick up and drop off at the airport 50 dinar each way. One of the downsides to Tunis is the dishonest taxi drivers. This was an excellent price and such a relief to see our driver waiting with my name when we arrived.
The rooms are exquisitely decorated and very comfortable. The only real criticism we had was the shower head which was hand held - in summer this wouldn’t be such a problem but in winter it was difficult to lather yourself and stay warm.
Breakfast was very good and the bed comfortable. There was also a small fridge.
The Riad is located near the edge of the Medina and there are lots of shops as well as the souks. There are two very upmarket restaurants close by but you have to walk further to find cheaper local places to eat.
Especially pleasing was the hotel organising a driver to take us to El Jem which is two hours south of Tunis.

The room was dirty. Bathroom smelled. Decor was great, however I would prefer a cleaner room and less decor. The staff was OK, Rim, the cleaning lady and cook was AMAZING!!! Only reason I enjoyed my stay there. She is so hospitable, kind and sweet. And her coffee is the BEST!!! The internet was horrible!!! I even complained to the front desk personnel, nothing was done. Sooo slow could not even connect at times. I loved the area, the Old Medina is Great, walkable and close to restaurants and cafes. Tunisians are humble and loving people.

Full of character and very welcoming staff. Perfect if you want a hotel that is unique, full of charm and history right at the heart of the Medina. The roof terrace with different seating areas is a bonus. might not suit those who like the big hotel chains, but I would choose this every time.

Maybe because it was really hot, so the Air conditioner was not cool enough.

Dar Ben Gacem is beautiful, welcoming, and the perfect location to enjoy the Tunis medina and its best cafes. The staff is super helpful, always available, and really caring. The women who prepare and serve the amazing breakfast (Shakshouka!) are so kind. The rooms are amazing but so are the common areas, and the place is full of beautiful books about Tunisia.

Amazing guesthouse from the 1600s with great antiques, right in the middle of La Medina. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful and went out of their way to help make dinner reservations, show me local lunch places, help me with a cab to the airport, etc.

A pleasant hotel with friendly service and good location that serves as a great introduction to the historic Tunis. We enjoyed the breakfast and exploring areas of the hotel. An airport transfer was arranged that cost 30 Tunisian dinar. Our room was interesting but much smaller and less comfortable (including the shower room) than expected from the pictures so we felt overcharged and less happy than we might have been overall.

Incredible guesthouse with really friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was fantastic. Lovely local feel to the place, nice architectural touches and great location in the medina, although just enough away from the hustle and bustle to be a little oasis. Really highly recommended.

Great boutique hotel that oozes character from youths minute you step through the front door. It is well positioned right near the Markets in the old town. The staff were some of the most friendly that I have ever encountered & they really went out of their way ( particularly Mr Daali) to ensure we a most memorable & comfortable stay. Will definitely return there when traveling back to Tunis.

We had a nice time at Dar Ben-Gacem. It was well located and the service was great. Our room was very quiet and spacious. It was great to see something traditional. The breakfast on the last day was great, and we enjoyed the coffee and delicious fruit every morning and they are happy to give more of everything. There is a beautiful roof deck with an amazing view of the medina.
The downsides: the room gets very warm if the air conditioning was not running as there were only two very small windows for air. Other rooms appeared to have much better windows. There was only a tub in our room, which made taking showers difficult. The breakfast was bread, cheese, and fruit on two of our three days, which is a bit plain, but there were good eggs the last day. There may have been eggs for other days as well, but we did not ask so that may be our fault.
The room was clean but the floors are traditional so a bit dusty, and the rugs on the floor and around the bed are worn.

This converted home is centrally located in the middle of the kasbah and affords lots of charm and convenience. For an authentic Tunisia experience, avoid the typical western style hotels and immerse yourself in the controlled chaos of the kasbah. Hotel staff is flawless and very helpful. The breakfast is homemade with love by a local cook and shes amazing.

A centuries-old home turned into a guest house, this hotel, oozed atmosphere and character. It is set on the edge of the medina, and is an integral part of the old city. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were fine. All in, we quite enjoyed our stay.
