Das Eigentum — Chems el Hana
A straightforward three-star hotel a short walk from Sousse's beach and the medina, Chems el Hana offers clean, functional rooms and a large pool shaded by palms. The lobby is bright and tiled, with a small reception desk and a bar off to the side — no frills, but efficient. It suits budget-conscious families or couples who want a base for sun, sea and history, not a boutique experience.
Chroniken von Sousse
Sousse was founded by the Phoenicians around the 9th century BC as Hadrumetum, later becoming a key Roman port. Its medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1988, retains its 9th-century Aghlabid layout, including the Ribat fortress and the Great Mosque. The French colonial era added wide boulevards and European-style buildings. Today, it's a lively mix of ancient souks, beachfront tourism and a growing student population from the university.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Sousse-Guide →Die besten Monate
May, June and September offer high-20s°C heat, low humidity and far lighter crowds than July–August.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are peak season, driven by European family holidays. Hotel prices can double from shoulder rates; the Sousse International Festival (usually late July to August) brings concerts and events to the medina.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and October: beach weather often holds, flights and rooms drop 30–50% from peak, and the medina is less packed.
Wetter & Verpackung
Sousse gets a hot, dry desert wind (sirocco) that can spike temperatures above 40°C for a day or two in summer. Pack a lightweight scarf, sun hat and high-SPF sunscreen; loose, breathable linen or cotton long-sleeved shirts work for both sun and modesty at mosques.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Sousse
- The Tunisian government has extended the evening curfew in Sousse through August, from 11 pm to 5 am, though hotel guests are exempt on their property.
- A new direct bus line (Route 28) now runs from Sousse train station to Port El Kantaoui every 20 minutes, making the marina and golf courses easier to reach without a taxi.
- The medina's main souk streets are being repaved through July 2026 — some stalls are closed and detours are in place, so expect dust and limited access near the Ribat.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Chems el Hana, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard (away from the street). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within the lift's reach, and the courtyard side is quieter than the front.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (street noise, passers-by, and potential smells from the lobby or service areas) and any room facing the main road at the front—this hotel is on a street in Sousse, so traffic and pedestrian noise can be intrusive.
Best views
The best view is from a rear-facing room on the 4th floor, looking over the courtyard or neighbouring rooftops—not spectacular, but calmer than the street front. Front-facing rooms overlook the Sousse street, which is busy during the day.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4—these are above the street-level din but below the roof, which might have equipment or maintenance noise.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a street in Sousse, so expect traffic noise from mopeds, cars, and street vendors, especially from about 7am to 10pm. The lift may produce a low hum, particularly on adjacent rooms (rooms ending in 01 or 02 are often nearest the lift shaft).
Insider tips
1. If you're driving, ask reception about free on-street parking spots nearby; the hotel doesn't have its own car park, so arrive early to snag a space. 2. Request a late checkout (usually possible for a small fee) if you want a quiet afternoon—the afternoon rush of street noise picks up around 4pm.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Sousse
💡 You can see the Ribat's defensive architecture from outside without paying. If you want the inner chambers and tower climb, the 5 TND ticket is cheap and worth it. Best photographed late afternoon.
💡 Best for chilling from late afternoon onwards. Avoid the plastic deck chairs rented out by locals — just bring a towel and find a free spot.
💡 Visit early morning before 9am to avoid heat and crowds. The view from the top of the Ribat fort costs a small fee but is worth it for the panorama.
💡 Free entry for visitors under 18 or over 60 (bring proof). Allow 90 minutes; go on a weekday morning to avoid school groups.
💡 Walk to the end of the west pier for a spot to watch the sunset. Bring your own snacks; marina cafes are overpriced.
