Novotel Tunis

Comfortable and clean room, good location, friendly and helpful staff and nice Rooftop Bar

Not much variety for breakfast

This is a letter I sent to TRAVELURO - beware of being scammed as you can read from other people who were not as fortunate as me! Should be 0 stars, but 1 star is minimum to make a review!! ******* Thankyou for refunding me within 10 minutes of making the booking for a £12 "special offer" against the normal price of £156 on "Booking com" for a 1 night stay in the NOVOTEL TUNIS! I was astonished to see the £12 back in my account so quickly! I broke my own rules by not first checking Trust Pilot, Trip Advisor and other review sites about TRAVELURO before I booked with your "disgusting company"! I see now "the scam"!!! You return this small amount of money, give me 10% "bonus" off my next booking which will encourage me to rebook with TRAVELURO at the Novotel or other hotels of this standard at a much higher "Normal" price. Then, that is when you will complete the scam by giving me a false sense of security with this refund and an apologetic letter explaining the "technical difficulties with the booking". I then make ANOTHER more expensive booking with TRAVELURO and never see my money again and the hotel concerned denies having any dealings with"TRAVELURO" when I arrive at the reception!! I have always used reliable Booking.com for 15 years travel to 45 countries without not even one problem!!! So thankyou for the £12 "refund" and in case you had any ideas about trying to obtain money from the card I paid it by - don't bother - the card is cancelled!!!! 😂 I shall also be warning all my contacts about TRAVELURO and the scam repeating that "if it looks to good to be true" then it probably isn't true! If this letter just stops only one person from being scammed, it will be a victory!!!! I only know of TRAVELURO on looking at NOVOTEL in Tunis! Be aware of this company when booking hotels, anywhere in the world!!! It certainly is brining the name of Novotel Tunis into disrepute with these "scam" bookings! ******* Happy travels and be warned! 👍

Location

Place is tired and in dire need of a proper revamp

Roof top pool and lounge area v nice Rooms were basic but comfortable Wifi was good Staff were friendly

Breakfast was not geared for Europeans Coffee was poor No real juices No omelette , toast etc etc

the boulevard in front of the hotel is very busy and the hotel is not well soundproofed, so it's very noisy in the room.

Parking and cleaning staff

Staff ( in the restaurant) not friendly and breakfast very limited

The staff are friendly and very welcoming, location is nearby the downtown 5 minutes walking distance to all locations and markets.

room design was weird, The toilet is separated from the bathroom and basin and you need to walk out to a different door in order to wash your hands, Air condition is very loud even on the lowest settings.

One of the worst novotel hotels i hv stayed in . Rooms r small , dated , furniture chipped and dirty, horrible breakfast with flies all over the food. Staff at the bar and breakfast are not helpful. The staff are more intrested in tips. At lunch the staff and extra meal which i said i didnt order he the started saying it would be big problem for him so i paid for 1 extra dish. As i thought it may hv been an honest mistake. When we went for a walk we saw a lot of con artists one telling us he works at our hotel and needed 20 dinar to feed his family and will pay me back. At the checkout the bell boy got us a taxi and he was on the phone while he got us a taxi and when the taxi arrived i told the bell boy and taxi guy to take me and my family to airport carthge and the taxi driver drove us around 5 min kept circling the area . Luckly i had google maps on and was tracking the route then he took a turn to a different motorway so i stop him . he pretended he didnt knew we were going to airport and said i thought you were going to carthage city then he started calling someone i m pretty sure it was the bell boy . I said take me back to the hotel or airport i had to tell him to follow the google maps route. On reaching the airport he quickly turned off the meter its was either 6 or 7 dinar i payed him 10 dinar . Be really carefull when staying at this hotel or in this area i will not recommend it to anyone
