“Arrogant and indifferent”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2012

We arrived at late evening and was shown to a rather filthy room. The next morning we went down to have some breakfast, which was included in out " All inclusive" and at was okay, but after a week not very exiting anymore. We were there out of season so there was room for all the guests, but have we been the during he summer season, there wold not have been food or room for all the people. The "wartier" were slow and and arrogant ans yelling at the guests, much like the people in the Reception, which were not helpful at all regarding any questions. Where were not even looking at you while you spoke to them and half the time they didn't understand English, and the other half there were yelling at you. Whe spa was non existing and the massages which you had to pay for (even thought it was included in the "all inclusive") was poor as not very good.
The pool area was nice and there were loads of sun cards but the music was VERY load, and there were playing 2-3 different songs at the same time which was kinda confusion. The water slides very old and worn out. And the hurt like H*** to slide in the because the assemblies were to wide, my BF even bleed on the back after sliding down one of them.
The beach was very nice and the water was lovely, so this I can recommend, perhaps just at another hotel.

“worst hotel ever, definitely not a 3star”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2012

we arrived at night and got a room in the old building. the room was simple, dirty and old. the cleaning was poor and one day they didn´t clean at all. the corridor felt like a mental hospital and the hotel wasn´t nice at all. one day the staff at the reception was yelling to a guest who complained about the room. very unprofessional. the breakfast was 75% bread and the restaurant had no feeling of cozyness at all. one day the restaurant floor was filled with water that smelled awful.

the only good thing was the water park at the pool area and the dinner buffet was ok. but all in all i wouldn´t stay here even if somebody paid me. definitely not a 3star, more a 1star hotel.

Room Tip: choose another hotel, byt in the newest buildning if you really need to stay here.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 14, 2012

spent a lovely 4 nights at this hote and it is top notch. Granted, it is not the height of luxery, but for the price we payed it was great with its own private beech attended by really helpful staff, good wifi, really nice restaurant and generous breakfast buffet. What more could you ask for?

“one week in sousse”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 8, 2012

If you want some peace and quiet, at night, make sure you don't get a room in the first block, facing the streetside! the disco opposit the hotel starts at midnight till morning, every day! the food was alright but always the same and often cold. waiting in a row for beverages with your meal, is not relaxing. having to ask for forks and knifes and spoons all the time....the swimmingpool is lovely and the waterslides very amusing! okay beach but watch out for sandflees, cause I brought them back home and that's worry! all in-formula is not much at all. alright animation but if you want something, it costs...rooms were only cleaned in the bathroom and the beds made but that's it! friendly people at service, sometimes too friendly...I have enjoyed my stay in Sousse but it could be better!!!

“Food is terrible”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 27, 2012

I agree with the last reviewer.
We were there in August and Pool and beach is great . Weather nice ,Water park attached to the pool is good
If you get the New wing then Rooms ok but the old wing is awful.
However bring or buy soap as the Hotel Hotel skimps on services like soap and bed changes

It is also worth knowing that If reception tell you to come back later when you ask for somthing ,This means it is not going to happen.

Be firm with them or otherwise be ignored.

However the main problem with the hotel is the restaurent .
The food is really awful and should be avoided at all costs .
If you can get a rate without meals then it is fine but if you are paying for the food then it is not good enough .
They can cook as the other restaurentat the Hotel where you pay and it is fine ,they just seem unable to to do it in the main restaurent .

Avoid trips into the Medina ,it is full of rubbish and horrible shop keepers and pick pockets .
it will just spoil your holiday .

Room Tip: New wing only
