Cap Bon
Don't be put off by the dingy reception: rooms at this quiet spot are basic but an absolute steal. Doors open onto a verdant (though slightly overgrown)…
Must-see hotels in Tunisia
Southern Tunisia
The best of Gafsa's cheapies, the Khalfallah is OK for its basic offerings. Some rooms are pretty spacious, with some ostentatious plasterwork and bunker…
Tunisia
Within walking distance of Monastir's town centre but in a quiet nook of the Corniche overlooking the old fishing port, this run-down hotel has a variety…
Southern Tunisia
Look past the dusty curtains and grubby plate glass on the ground floor, this is a good hotel suffering from a lack of custom – the rooms are better than…
Southern Tunisia
The only hotel and restaurant in town, the Zaafrane’s simple aesthetic and no-frills rooms are fair value, and there's a bar where you can get a cold beer…
Hammamet
This hotel's cream-coloured, gold-studded central atrium, rooms and pool are reminiscent of a huge 1980s cruise liner that's docked across the street from…
Bizerte
This mini-resort has faced better days – the bungalow rooms almost cut it among the scraggly garden, and the pool water is a highly suspicious colour –…
Tunisia
Overlooking the sprawling ruins of Sufetula from a hillock 2km north of the town centre, this renovated three-star hotel has spotless rooms with balconies…
Bizerte
Clean and simple, this place has an excellent central location and 25 smallish but cheerful rooms. The en-suite rooms have tiny bathrooms, but the showers…
Hammamet
Its prime beachfront location near the centre make this hotel an attractive option, but its once-vibrant Moorish architecture and sea-view rooms are…
Tunisia
Much is promised by the lovely mosaic floor in this hotel's foyer, but sadly the rest of the building is a disappointment. While the rooms are clean, they…
Sousse
On a small side street only a block from Ave Habib Bourguiba, the Monia has clean though dark rooms with bathrooms that don't always have hot water. It's…
Tunis
One of the better-maintained cheap hotels in Centre Ville, the Ritza offers small, clean but very basic rooms. The location opposite Parc Habib Thameur is…
Douz
A fair choice with a flowering courtyard and spacious rooms – the bathrooms are larger than the sleeping space you get in a lot of budget hotels. The in…
Southern Tunisia
This place look a little tatty from the outside, but the rooms themselves (with shutters and high ceilings) are slightly nicer than you’d expect from the…
Northern Tunisia
This dusty relic of a hunting lodge is looking a bit tatty these days (ageing along with its wild-boar-trophy decor). The rooms are better than you'd…
Tozeur
The friendly El Amen, on a side street off Ave Abdulkacem Chebbi, is a bit poky but nevertheless has cute little rooms. Rooftop rooms share a large…
Douz
For this price, the views of town from the rooftop patio are a steal. The small rooms with arched ceilings are adequate – think about the price and that…
Southern Tunisia
A troglodyte option on the road out of town towards Douz.Long labyrinthine passages lead to simple bedroom grottoes and shared bathrooms. Meals are…
Djerba
While it doesn't have any style or atmosphere, this place near the bus and louage stations is worth considering for its clean, neat and well-priced rooms.
Southern Tunisia
This simple campground with just eight tents is ideally located next to the hot springs on the northern edge of the oasis. The restaurant serves alcohol.
Northern Tunisia
Southeast of Place de l’Indépendance, this central plain-fronted hotel has 14 clean, bright, pretty rooms. There's a good restaurant downstairs.
Tunisia
Friendly but definitely in need of an overhaul, this clean budget choice offers dark rooms that can be noisy because of the street and cafe below.
Southern Tunisia
This is an acceptable, modern, two-star hotel on the outskirts of town – comfortably bland, but reassuring enough for a night’s stay.
Tunisia
This friendly, centrally located two-star option offers unadorned but clean rooms with satellite TV. Noise can be a problem.
Southern Tunisia
Unexciting high-rise hotel with comfortably bland rooms, convenient for the centre of Gafsa.

Djerba
Almost directly across the street from Houmt Souk's amphitheatre, friendly Dar Faïza feels like the private villa of a once-prosperous family whose…
Tunis
Designed by Paul Baron in 1913 and renovated in 2011, the building is splendid but the hotel inside is a grave disappointment. Standard rooms are well…
Hammamet
For its location at a chaotic intersection a few kilometres from the beach, this place is surprisingly quiet but only worth staying at if you're on a…
Cap Bon
In need of a spruce up, this basic hotel has spartan, white-walled rooms and is a place to lay your head but not much more. Half- and full-board options…
Cap Bon
This institutional blue-and-white building, not far from the road leading up to Fort de Kelibia, is a cheap, basic place to spend the night, though solo…
Tunisia
Never mind the scent from the fishmonger downstairs, this centrally located hotel has 14 basic but clean rooms and is a good option for travellers on a…
Douz
A super-basic cheapie. Avoid the rooms downstairs, which have only internal windows; those upstairs are better. Those wanting to splurge on a few frills…
Southern Tunisia
A basic cheapie, Ben Njima can at least be applauded for its effort. Rooms are simple but decent. The busy road junction outside is noisy, but there are…
Tunisia
If you need to stay in Sbeitla overnight, this brightly painted, family-run establishment is a bargain. The 12 smallish, old-fashioned rooms are off a…
Cap Bon
This well-located hotel has decently sized rooms, but it's fraying at the edges and is in need of renovation. There's a restaurant and pool where parties…
Hammamet
This midsized, frumpy hotel has a relaxing terrace out front, a pool and simple rooms with balconies. Guests have access to a private beach hidden behind…
Southern Tunisia
This tired place is located 3km from the oasis, on the route to the National Guard barracks. That makes it a little isolated from the interest of the…
Southern Tunisia
If you need somewhere to stay in an emergency, this ultra-cheapie might do. Rooms are small and bathrooms are shared (some rooms have showers and sinks).
