"It was a pretty good hotel room with useful studio apartment accommodations (electric stove, microwave, mini-fridge). I will say the shower water temperature was the easiest to control out of the 6 accommodations I stayed at on this Euro trip. I also liked all the Tunisian restaurants around the hotel, and it was pretty easy to take the train (or even walk) to places like Cours Julien & Old Port.
