Splendid room. Friendly reception from Abdslem

“Great place and people”

Beautiful building - arrival felt like coming straight into a museum. Abdslem and all staff were so lovely and welcoming too and made arriving in Tunisia so great. Without a doubt the first thing I’d look to do when visiting Tunis again would be booking here. Also breakfast was terrific

Beautiful historical Dar. With great rooftop. Neighbourhood was very nice, walking distance of say 20 min to Medina. Nice staff, I felt at home.

Everything was amazing! We loved the buildin, the neighborhood, the owner and the stuff. We will definately come back to this wonderful place as we felt like home.

Staying in such a historic place was a really special and unforgettable experience.

“Cute traditional stay on a budget”

Very pretty common areas and rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, plenty of hot water, not too far from the centre, and fairly priced.

“It's like living in a museum!”

This is the most beautiful place to stay with exquisite traditional design features. The breakfast is perfect and served in the beautiful courtyard. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and went out of their way to be of assistance.

Beautiful traditional Tunisian residence in downtown Tunis, walking distance from the city center. Extremely helpful and polite hosts. Rooms are simple but clean and functional. Breakfast was simple but good.

“Become part of the family at the Dar Hayder-la Medina!”

The staff were really welcoming and helpful. They were happy for me to check in at 9.30 pm and have breakfast early one day so as to be ready for an excursion. They explained that a TV company was filming at the dar all week and I had the option of moving to the other property they run if I wish. I chose to stay put. I can still hear the director saying, "Action!" The staff gave me a lot of useful information and arranged excursions for me to the spectacular Roman sites at El Jem and Dougga. That gave me the chance to see a lot more of the country. Youssef and Zainab were my guides for both trips, which were very enjoyable. The dar is located in the medina-Tunis's old town. When the TV cameras weren't running in the evening, it was really peaceful and quiet. Some of Tunis's historic sights, such as the royal tombs, are a short walk away. There are several restaurants and markets within walking distance. Tunis's 'new town' is a 25 minute walk away through the medina; the Bardo Museum and Carthage are further away. The views of Tunis from the roof terrace were great! A very big 'Thank you!' to Khaled, Omar, Youssef, Zainab and everyone else for making my stay so memorable.

The atmosphere of the place

“Very helpful staff & beautiful architecture were the main features of our stay.”

Boiler problems caused us to deal with a situation that did not have consistent hot water and heat.

“Quality/price very high. Recommended”

The guys who run the property were very kind, they helped with everything and gave suggestions. The villa is historic and well kept, the room was spacious and clean. The breakfast is rich and we liked it a lot. Absolutely recommended

“Really lovely, helpful staff who all went out of their way to give advice and recommendations.”

Very beautiful, traditional old medina house. Fantastic, friendly and efficient staff. Good breakfast with croissants or pain au chocolat, good coffee and tea, fruit juice, bread and jam.

“Lovely 314 year old house close to the Medina and with great staff”

Lovely staff all around: Omar, Khalil, Mohammed and Yasmin were really helpful, nice and friendly. Welcomed us, gave us tips and helped us with whatever we needed. The breakfast was delicious (especially the croissant with dates!) and there was always water available. The house is incredible and rooms are super well taken care of.

“Elegant building with friendly service”

Lovely 300 year old building. Roof terrace with a view of the city. Very quiet. Slightly away from the centre but quiet because of that.

“Loveliest staff, extremely well kept and decorated house, with an astonishing rooftop view”

So beautiful, so elegant, just looking like a wow

It was a beautiful place in the upskirts of the medina. It was very clean and the breakfast was really tasty. I have to give a special mention to the staff that worked the day we arrived and the next one because they were really friendly and helpful.

“Amazing !”

Dar Hayder is like a little gem hidden on the outskirt of Medina. Beautiful inside , gently renovated to preserve amazing history of this place . Very easy go get to and from, friendly helpful staff, when we stayed place was very quiet but when we needed a help there was always someone there. Lady who looked after breakfast and in general she clean the whole place was very friendly and accommodating. When we asked her if we can east outside, she with a smile on the face moved our breakfast to the outside space. Highly recommended.

“Warm, caring, efficient and welcoming”

Perfect madam Radia was an absolute star, incredibly gentle kind and friendly! She made me feel at home all the time! Thank you to her! Also the other staff were very supportive and friendly, Khalil and Mohamed-Anis!

“Friendly staff and beautiful house”

Staff was friendly, amazing rooftop, breakfast was nice, beautiful house, 10 mins walk to Medina
