Hôtel Les Pins

Tunisia


About 1.5km east of town on the road to Tunis, this good-value hotel – surrounding a courtyard pool that's heavenly in summer – is a bit old-fashioned but clean and bright. Because it's on the outskirts of town, you lose some of Le Kef's charm, but it's the only recommendable full-scale hotel, and it's good for families.
