The hotel offers comfortable and well-appointed rooms with a nice business corner and high-speed internet connection. However, the service was careless and disappointing, lacking enthusiasm and sympathy. The location is excellent, near the port for easy access to Kerkennah islands, but had ongoing renovation smells. The dining experience was poor, with limited and overpriced options. Despite these drawbacks, the facilities were satisfactory.

When I first arrived, the room was a bit noisy from traffic, but it quietened down at night, making for a comfortable stay. The 'business corner' with high-speed internet was a nice touch for working travelers, although there was a slight smell of paint due to renovations. The hotel's location near the port is convenient, especially for those planning to visit the Kerkennah islands, but the surrounding area had some negatives.

The hotel is conveniently located near the port, making it ideal for those planning to visit the Kerkennah islands. The rooms, although spacious and well-furnished with a handy business corner, needed better cleanliness upon arrival. The service, unfortunately, fell short of expectations with issues surrounding a substitution without notice and lack of enthusiasm for assistance. The location's great breakfast and overall excellence were slightly marred by ongoing renovations. The dining was satisfactory, but nothing exceptional. The hotel facilities were decent but lacking standout features.

The hotel offers spacious and quiet rooms with large showers and plenty of hot water. The balcony in each room adds a nice touch to the overall comfort. The location is convenient for business trips but may not be ideal for tourists due to ongoing renovations and limited tourist attractions. The dining options could be more inspiring, but the North African specialties are a delightful treat. The hotel staff are knowledgeable and accommodating, although some minor issues with service were noted. Overall, it's a good choice for business travelers seeking a comfortable stay in Sfax.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite spacious, clean, and equipped with a nice business corner for work, but there were noticeable stains in some areas. The service was a real ying and yang - some staff were knowledgeable, but others were disappointing, like when they replaced my wine order without informing me. The location is noisy and still undergoing renovations, but it's conveniently situated near the port for Kerkennah islands trips. The dining options were lackluster with minimal variety, but the warm bread was a standout. The facilities were decent, but there is room for improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located near the port, making it a good choice for those planning to visit the Kerkennah islands. The rooms, especially those at the end of the hall, are spacious and come equipped with a nice and functional 'business corner' with high-speed internet. However, there were some odors of paint due to renovations nearing completion. The breakfast was excellent, but the dining options lack variety, mainly in the grilled dishes. Facilities are modern and in line with the ever-increasing demands of the hospitality industry.
