This is the worst hotel i have ever stayed in.The food was awful and always cold. The place was filled with Libyan injured war veterans who do nothing but sit around the lobby and restuarants smoking. There are no smoking signs but they all still smoke and the hotel staff dont police this, my eyes stung when walking through the... More

This hotel claims to be a 5 star, I would say it was no more than a 2. The food was awful, overcooked and tasteless, the drinks were outrageously expensive, the lobby was full of Libyan rebels who smoked constantly so I nearly choked to death every time I passed through the downstairs. My room was nice but the staff... More

This hotel is in no way a 5 star. The food is inedible. At breakfast the boiled eggs are so hard the yolk is powder. The bread is hard before it's even toasted, the pastries are thick and doughy. The hot breakfasts are few and are also tasteless. The dinner is also a buffet and everything is either overcooked and... More

Hv been there for a long weekend plus three days working. Location is slightly more far than desirable on the beach of Gammarth, few kilometers away from La Marsa, near few others hotels (Golden Tulip and El Mouradi Gammarth) . We originally wanted to stay at Moevenpick but it was fully booked. The rate here is much milder (30/40% less)... More

We found quite a few hair in our bed, we waited 1.30 hours to get new sheets that we had to change ourselves. Well maybe we were not lucky with the persons at reception but this made us feel bad for our stay. More

Where to start? The Barcelo Carthage looked like a building site as we approached it from the road & felt like a building site once checked-in...for 4 days. While the lobby felt authentic and had a rustic North African feel, once you took the dark, cold corridors in search of your room, things went downhill; dubious cleanliness, no views &... More
