The hotels are in general not good value for the money. They are expensive compared to other third world countries – especially considering that they have no heat. Although we are usually happy to stay in the ‘budget’ category of hotels (per Lonely Planet/Let’s Go) in the case of Tunisia, the budget hotels were not up to par – they were not as clean as we would have liked. In some cities, the most expensive hotel was still not at what we would consider an acceptable level of cleanliness.

I recommend the hotel ariha, its about a 20 min walk from the “tunis big ben” as the locals call it. it cost me 68 dinar (about 50 american) a night for a double. They had highspeed internet, hot water, very clean, large rooms, decent breakfast, balconies, and a very friendly staff who spoke a decent amount of english. it seems a little out of the way and my first night walking alone to the town square I was a little nervous of the neighborhood. But after a few nights the walk to downtown was a nice stroll and I felt very safe. By the way, the price of a taxi from the hotel to downtown is only about 2 to 3 dinars.
