Golden Carthage Hotel Tunis ★★★★★

Nice & quiet hotel

Far from facilities

Nice pool. Not close to the beach at all.

Not close to the beach at all.

Good size room and balcony. Not an overly busy time to stay at the hotel, so plenty of space to oneself. Friendly staff, room service knocked on door twice aday to ask if we needed fresh towels or more bottles of water.

Not all the restaurants appeared to be open. Big hotel and layout a little disorienting.

Swimming pool

Tv channel

Relax and clean

Pool service, only one waiter

Clean

The furniture and other room items looked very old and from another era

clean, nice enough, service was good

construction work that was loud. They did move me the second day to the quite section. The front desk receptionists were kind. I do think they should not put customers in the loud section in the first place. No beach

Very large hotel with 5 swimming pools and gitness, spacious rooms and very good breakfast

Some renovation works at fitness centre

Overall, we had a great time here with our one year old baby. But largely due to visiting in low season, at the start of November, we did have mixed feelings about a number of things. Let’s start off with the good stuff: The low season room rate we got through booking with genius discount was very good. We got a very large suite at a price level where you normally get a standard room in most places. Upon arrival there was a plate of fresh fruits and also a vase with gorgeous fresh flowers. The staff really make this place shine. In almost all of the interactions, the staff went well above and beyond to meet our needs. You really feel welcome-welcome and not fake welcome if you know what I mean. We spent considerable time in the executive lounge on the sixth floor. A nice space with ample refreshments. Definitely worth booking a room that grants you access. Great sunset view from there. My wife enjoyed the massage, which was priced very fair compared to this class of hotels.

On to the things that were not so pleasant, again, largely due to the low season but it would have been better if we had known some of the following up front: Only the main outside pool was open and it was not heated. This was very unfortunate for us because our baby was too small for the cold water. We explicitly booked a hotel with a swimming pool so that he could enjoy this on hot days. So not allowing him in the pool while we were taking a dive ourselves was really tough on us. Due to the low guest count, both the breakfast and dinner buffet selection was a LOT more limited than what you see in most of the high season pictures here. Apart from the massages, all of the spa facilities were closed. The location doesn’t give immediate access to the beach. Lastly, a room was being renovated above ours during week days. Most guests don’t spend time in the room during the day, but if you are like us and your kids need a nap, the melody of power drills doesn’t exactly help. So overall, this big hotel clearly caters more to business and conference visitors as there were little to no children specific facilities, but the staff works with heart and soul to make it work for families like ours.

Very nice hotel with good pool area. Enjoyed the breakfasts. Nice comfortable bed, slept well. Tucked away but easy enough to get a taxi

A little dated in some places but looked like they were on the case.

Nice,elegant & comfortable

Nothing

Intermittent WiFi and smoking in the building

like the food and the culture

I did not have time to look around

1. The room was being tidied up - including the bed - at least twice a day. 2. The towels were regularly being replaced. 3. It had a nice balcony to smoke outside.

1. Lack of Muslim shower in the toilet. 2. Problem of sockets for charging of mobile phones. 3. Air conditioning temperature control not properly working.

Quit location , good services from the staff, cleanliness.

Need more accompaniment when introduce the bedroom. How to use material or facilities during the stay.

The location is good if you intend to spend sometime around the capital city

It does not have beach access =/ The hotel had seen better days, its alittle old, it seemed like the time has stopped. It could use some renovation specially the bathroom.

I liked the hotel facilities and staff.

the breakfast was poor for such hotel and i was a bit disappointed.

very good breakfast, nice hammam and pool, big rooms

the location is a little bit far form the city/village/beach and the hotel is outdated

The door didn’t have a security chain lock inside the door. The housekeeper unlocked our ground floor, sliding glass door to the outside. So unsafe!!! This really upset me. Thankfully I checked it again before I went to bed. The shower didn’t work so we had to change rooms after we’d unpacked. Then there was a problem w the bathroom water in the new room. When you ran the water a very loud noise came from behind the walls in the bathroom.

See above. I liked that the ventilation in the bar was good so that the smoking wasn’t too much to handle

Open at 1am

Booking.com did not allow me to pay in advance for my traveler YET again. We have had this problem multiple times.
