Hôtel Résidence Monia COMPLETELY RENOVATED

This hotel is a good budget/local option in an excellent location, within a few minutes’ walk of the beach, restaurants, and shops. It was also convenient for day trips, as the louage station for places like El Jem and Kairouan was only a taxi ride away. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and appeared recently renovated. When we arrived in early May, the air conditioning had not yet been switched on for the season, and the room felt quite hot. My friend is prone to heat stroke, so we contacted the owner, Taher, via WhatsApp and the AC remote was provided later that evening so we could use it. Taher also gave us some recommendations for restaurants and advice on travelling to historical sites. Overall, Taher was very responsive over WhatsApp, which we appreciated.

There were signs of plumbing/leak issues. We were given a bucket to place under the AC when using it, and there was another bucket under the bathroom basin, suggesting the basin leaked too. The bathroom has no separate shower area, so the floor floods when showering. The basin was installed at a slope, so toiletries kept sliding off, and the basin itself clogged up with water. The toilet had been fitted unusually high, meaning your feet don’t touch the ground when sitting on it. There is no elevator/lift in the building despite there being at least four floors. On arrival, the receptionist explained he had recently had a heart attack and therefore could not help carry luggage upstairs, which was understandable. On departure, the owner arranged for both the receptionist and cleaner to assist, but because of the receptionist’s recent heart attack, I did not feel comfortable asking him to carry heavy luggage, so the cleaner and I carried the suitcase downstairs together. Overall, this hotel worked well because of its location and clean, spacious rooms, but the maintenance issues and lack of elevator/lift are worth being aware of, especially if travelling with heavy luggage or mobility issues.

Przyjemny hotel na krótszy pobyt, bardzo czysto, personel przyjazny i pomocny :) bez żadnego problemu przechował nasze bagaże

The gentlemen at the front desk were very pleasant and helpful on both arrival and departure (e.g., finding a spot for some breakfast). It is very well located.

Although the price was clearly attractive, the room was not up to what I expect from a Booking.com rating as high as it was (8.9). It definitely had not been recently renovated. Having become accustomed to breakfast being included in Tunisia properties, it is a minus to not have it.

Hotel realmente ristrutturato e quindi nuovissimo. Ho alloggiato nella camera con balcone ed ho dormito molto bene. Ottima la pulizia, la gentilezza dello staff e la posizione migliore in assoluto. Presenza anche del frigorifero. Rapporto qualità-prezzo ottimo.

Le tende delle finestre dovrebbero essere più oscuranti perché lasciano entrare molta luce. Manca l'ascensore, anche se i gradini sono bassi e quindi non sono affatto faticosi. Potrebbero mettere un asciugacapelli in dotazione.

1) 駅から近距離であること 2) 口コミでヘアドライヤーがないと記載があったが、ダメ元でフロントに訊くと、ヘアドライヤーを提供してもらえたこと 3) 口コミ通りお風呂とトイレの仕切りがないため、シャワーを利用するとトイレやその付近の床濡れるが、お風呂に水を掃くための添字用具があったこと (時期が故か、床はすぐに乾燥しやすかったため、利用しなかったが)

エレベーターはないため、スーツケースを上階へ運ぶのには一苦労

Hôtel Résidence Monia is a good choice for exploring Sousse and its surrounding sites and cities. Close to the beach, close to the Medina, close to many restaurants and cafés. The room was clean and comfortable for a few days.
