As there were not any comparable option in Kairouan, the Kasbah met our needs. The property was beautiful, clean, safe, and the state were truly kind and professional. The hotel is somewhat centrally located that you can walk to the medina, the grand mosque, the tomb of Sahbee. However, dining options you needed to walk further. There’s nice dining, however, it’s mostly local restaurants that are typically for takeaway.
Thought the hotel mentions air conditioning in the details of the amenities, make sure you ask for it in advance and make sure upon arrival they provide you with a room that has air conditioning that you can control. In the off season the main air conditioning is off, only a fan is blowing through the HVAC. We visited in the middle of May, over 40 degrees celcius and air conditioning was important to have.
The breakfast was included which was pretty much your typical morning cute buffet. They had an espresso machine, though I prefer freshly brewed coffee. The restaurant was extremely warm which made it uncomfortable to enjoy the breakfast, but we managed.
We have been choosing small properties for our travels because the service is much more catered. Though we enjoyed meeting all the staff who were always there when we looked for them Moheeb and Sadek… everyone else did their job well. But we didn’t sense anyone was going above and beyond. It’s fine as it’s not a complaint. It just helps when it comes to tipping to want that unique experience with staff.
