Das Eigentum — Le Diamant du Lac
Le Diamant du Lac is a quiet, business-style 3-star hotel overlooking the Lake of Tunis. The lobby is modern and clean, with polite, efficient staff. It suits travellers who prefer a calm, practical base over character or local buzz. The USP is the lakeside location, away from the medina's noise but still easy to reach the city centre.
Chroniken von Tunis
Tunis was founded by the Berbers in the 4th century BC, then expanded by the Romans and later the Aghlabids. Its medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, grew under the Hafsid dynasty in the 13th century, with narrow alleys and grand mosques. The French Protectorate (1881-1956) added wide boulevards and art deco buildings, visible along Avenue Habib Bourguiba. Today, Tunis blends its Arab-Islamic heritage with a modern, Mediterranean vibe. The city is known for its museums, markets, and as a gateway to Carthage and Sidi Bou Said.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Le Diamant du Lac, 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 inner courtyard (away from Avenue Habib Bourguiba). These upper floors reduce street noise and offer a calmer stay with a glimpse of the garden or pool area.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the ground or 1st floor near the lift lobby and entrance — they catch lobby chatter, lift dings, and early check-in traffic. Also avoid rooms at the front of the hotel directly on Avenue Habib Bourguiba; the boulevard carries car horns and scooters until late.
Best views
The best view is from upper floor rooms facing the courtyard or pool — you’ll see greenery and not the busy avenue. Street-facing rooms offer a classic Tunis cityscape but with traffic noise trade-off.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are the quietest, being far enough from street level and above the lift’s ground-floor noise. The 2nd floor is acceptable but can catch some kitchen prep sounds from the restaurant below.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenue Habib Bourguiba is a major artery with constant traffic (cars, scooters, buses) and occasional honking, peaking in early morning and evening. The hotel’s own bar and restaurant generate background chatter on lower floors until about 11pm. Ask for a courtyard-side room to mitigate.
Insider tips
1. If you drive, request a spot in the small hotel car park at check-in — street parking is scarce and patrolled. 2. For a quieter stay, book a courtyard-facing room directly; the reception can assign one if you call 48 hours ahead.
- 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
