Must-see hotels in Southern Tunisia

  • Hôtel Gafsa Palace

    Southern Tunisia

    This high-rise hotel near the Gafsa stadium on the edge of town is fair value – unexciting rooms but reasonably comfortable, with large grounds and a…

  • Hôtel-Résidence Niffer

    Tozeur

    Occupying one of the busiest intersections in Tozeur, this small hotel has spacious but basic rooms. That said, it's clean and friendly and great value…

  • Hôtel Atlantic

    Southern Tunisia

    Like an ageing movie star, the Atlantic’s gorgeous ornate 1923 facade is best seen at night when its painted face is more sensitively lit. It's…

  • Hotel Caravanserail

    Southern Tunisia

    This resort has seen better days, but Nefta's downturn has seen prices fall, making this decent value. Half- and full-board options are available. The…

  • Hotel Rahma

    Southern Tunisia

    The Rahma has small, modern, well-kept rooms. View a couple of rooms – some are dark with little natural light, others are bright and airy; some at the…

  • Yadis Oasis Kebili

    Southern Tunisia

    This hotel outside the town centre has some rather grand desert-style resort architecture, two pools, a hammam and rather overstuffed but comfortable…

  • Camping Les Beaux Rêves

    Tozeur

    Small and a little run-down, this place is, however, pleasantly shaded by trees – you can even set up a hammock to sleep – and is in a convenient, if busy…

  • Tataouine Les Bains

    Southern Tunisia

    A simple whitewashed house on the outskirts of Tataouine with pleasing brick details and a garden being nurtured out of the desert. Rooms are clean and…

  • Hotel Khalfallah

    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…

  • Hôtel Zaafrane

    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…

  • Hôtel Tacapes

    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…

  • Hôtel Medina

    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…

  • Hôtel Le Sahara

    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…

  • Residence El Amen

    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…

  • Hôtel El Marzougoui

    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…

  • Hôtel Les Berbères

    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…

  • Camping Ghilane

    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.

  • Hôtel Kitam

    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.

  • Hôtel Gafsa

    Southern Tunisia

    Unexciting high-rise hotel with comfortably bland rooms, convenient for the centre of Gafsa.

  • Hôtel de la Tente

    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…

  • Hôtel Ben Njima

    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…

  • Campement El Bibène

    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…

  • Hôtel Habib

    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).
