Best rooms
Request a room on floors 2 or 3 facing the courtyard. These are high enough to avoid street-level noise but low enough for the lift to be convenient; also less foot traffic than the floor 4 service area.
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the courtyard (away from the street). These upper floors get more natural light and less street noise from the Tunis traffic below.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 1 (directly above the reception and street-facing) and floor 4 near the service entrance — the lift motor and staff noise are noticeable in the morning.
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the reception or breakfast area – they take the brunt of early-morning foot traffic and kitchen clatter. Also skip rooms on the 1st floor directly above the entrance lobby, as the buzz from check-ins and taxi drop-offs carries up.
