This hotel has spectacular common areas, but all pools were empty of water and looked as though they'd been that way for a while. Wasn't staying, just brought here for lunch on a 2 day trip. Walked the grounds and I noticed several dangerously deep holes in the middle of the pathways. You wouldn't want to keep your eyes off... More

One can't reserve one's neighbours, and the couple next door were in loud, throwing-things relationship trouble, BUT: the hotel was fine, with outrageous decor, beautiful grounds, helpful staff and an excellent restaurant....It probably helps that I wasn't paying for it lol.... More

This hotel is probably the best in this out-of-the-way industrial city. If you HAVE to stay here, it won't kill you. The location is an oasis, quite beautiful, but isolated and quite far from the city. The grounds are very pretty. The hotel is old with a re-do of sorts. The room was fine: kind of Arabian Nights campy, and... More

Set in a peaceful green oasis on the outskirts of an otherwise dusty and drab working town, you can walk from the hotel into the desert wastes and wonder at a sunset that bathes the bare rocks of the nearby mountains in a luminous orange light. Beyond the hotel's impressive and highly decorated entrance hall, the bedrooms are fairly typical... More

What an astonishing hotel! The decor is really quite mad - I was so astonished by the painted ceiling in reception that I just had to lie on the floor and photograph it! It's an astonishing mixture of styles and influences, part rococo, part baroque, part arabian nights and even some Egyptian thrown in. Our bedroom was salmon and gold,... More

I read the reviews of Jugurtha Palace and decided I did not want to stay there. However, I got voted down. I am a little ashamed to say that I loved the one night I spent there and would not have minded spending another. It is definitely over the top - even more so in December with its Christmas/New Year... More

This is a great hotel, well designed and the setting is really authentic. The real location of Jugurtha Palace is actually GAfsa ville towards and on your way to Tozeur. More

We heard that this hotel had re-opened fairly recently after refurbishment, and I can truly say I have never seen anything like it. Over the top, or what?! The large reception area was generally moorish, with beautiful painted ceilings. The bar was reminiscent of the Middle East in the 1930s (sort of overtones of Agatha Christie). The rooms were, well,... More
