The hotel is located 2km out of town and has great views over the desert. The architecture is interesting and the hotel caters almost exclusively for desert safari tourists in 4X4 vehicles. The rooms are acceptable but nothing special. The pool looks nice but needs cleaning. The restaurant is like a canteen the buffet evening meal looked ropey and we... more

This hotel has an outdoor bar/swimming pool area with a lovely view over the desert - a great place to get away from the tourist botherers in Matmata. It's expensive by Tunisian standards (66TD/person/night half-board) and appears to cater mostly for overnight tour groups. The faux-troglodite style rooms are interesting, but lack windows, which makes them very dark at night.... more

Spent one night there last april. Hotel architecture is nice and interesting. Lovely view from the hotel. Service not so friendly. Food and restaurant is "cafeteria" style. I would not reccomend this hotel for an extended stay. more

Ours was NOT a pleasant stay. There was an oder, a horrible stench, which seemed to permeate the entire place. The rooms were not clean, the airconditioner should NOT be called an airconditioner but rather a fan... If one wishes to stay in "rooms to let".. then ok, this is just the place... but by no means should it be... more

I stayed in this hotel in august 2005 with my girlfriend for one night. Matmata is a fantastic place to visit (one of the best place in Tunisia). If you want to sleep in matmata and if you want to stay in a troglodite house you must stay in this hotel. Cleaness was Ok, but you have to consider that... more

this is a troglodyte style cave room ... with a flimsy shower. It does get quite cold in the room. Breakfast variety was very limited. (We were travelling on a package tour.) We experienced our first cockroach sighting in Tunis (2 of them); and this hotel delivered us 1 in the morning. Having travelled quite a bit, I know they... more

The view outside of the hotel is lovely, but you dont see that... more
