I had a hotel pickup at 6am and the driver got me to the hotel on a quick and crazy ride. Fortunately they were able to offer early check-in and even early breakfast. No attendant at the host stand so I just walked in. No one manning the egg or fresh bread station... I finally asked for an omelette and... More

The Residence was recommended by a business colleague as an ideal spot to hold business meetings over three days. After a circuitous tour by a taxi driver who said he had never heard of the hotel we arrived at a securely guarded gate, politely scrutinised and then allowed through. Security was on all occasions thorough, professional and polite. 10/10 on... More

First time at this hotel, and was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is a resort in the Gammarath area, which is about 15-20 minutes from the center of town and close to Carthage, so you need to plan your routes, as traffic can get bad in Tunis. The staff at the reception were quite helpful, and a nice bonus, spoke good... More

If you are going to spend some time near tunis I can very much recommend this hotel. The attitude of the staff is first class, the food excellent and the spa one of the most extensive I have visited anywhere. Our room was also very comfortable. Well done to all More

This is a great option for luxury holidays. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly, helpful, professional staff. I think it’s a bit too far from Tunis for business travel (Taxi is at least 10 dinars, and during peak hour the commute could be around an hour). Make sure you have time for hammam, pool and other spa-services. You can also walk down... More

I was only here for one night and did not get to really enjoy this hotel but from the little I saw it was amazing. I had a room that looked out just the way the picture shows. At night they light the area up and it is beautiful early in the morning. I remember eating breakfast there and that... More

Really loved the hotel. Rooms are beautiful, restaurants are wonderful. Was there in Jan 2012, and it is clear that Tunis in general needs more tourists. A few small issues: Elevator had a bad smell all week and I got stuck in it the day I was checking out. Service is amazing though. The spa is huge and lovely, but... More

We had a wonderful experience at The Residence Tunis. They were extremely accommodating. The nicest hotel I have ever stayed in!!! Their golf course was amazing. The attention to detail was incredible. The lobby was gorgeous! The room was cleaned multiple times a day and the towels were changed out a couple times a day to make sure they were... More

Overall, very good. I enjoyed my stay which was for business. This is not really a business hotel, its about 20-25 min drive to the city, but a great retreat after the end of a business day, and a pleasant place to wake up and enjoy the scenery, and spa before the start of business. Staff are very courteous, and... More
