La propriété — My Appartment
La Goulette is a breezy, working-class port suburb 10km east of central Tunis, and My Appartment sits in a quiet residential street a five-minute walk from the beach. The lobby is tiled, functional and unpretentious – think key-coded door, a small reception desk and a stairwell that smells faintly of bleach. Its USP is straightforward self-catering accommodation with a kitchenette, aimed at independent travellers who want a base near the sea, not a hotel with a pool. It suits budget-conscious couples or solo visitors who value space and a washing-up sink over service and style.
Chroniques de Tunis
Tunis was founded by the Berbers, expanded by the Phoenicians, and rose to regional power under the Hafsid dynasty in the 13th century. The medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, still echoes its medieval role as a crossroads of Mediterranean trade, with its souks, mosques and fondouks. Under the French protectorate (1881–1956), the city gained a wide, tree-lined Avenue Habib Bourguiba and neo-Moorish public buildings. Today Tunis is a sprawling, chaotic capital where satellite dishes sprout from Ottoman-era roofs, and French and Arabic mix in the street chatter. Its identity centres on the tension between a conservative Islamic past and a secular, outward-looking present.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Tunis →Meilleurs mois
May and June, when daytime highs sit around 26-30°C, the Mediterranean is swimmable and the sky is clear – before July’s heat and August’s crowds hit.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are peak domestic and European tourist season. The city fills with families, hotel rates rise by 30-50%, and midday temperatures regularly exceed 35°C. The main driver is summer school holidays and the concurrent festival season, including the Carthage International Festival in July.
La saison des épaules
April and October give mild 22-25°C days, hotel discounts of 20-30%, and empty beaches. Crowds are thin and the city feels more local.
Météo & Emballage
Tunis has a Mediterranean climate but can get a chilling sirocco wind from the Sahara that lifts sand and dust. Pack a lightweight scarf or buff to cover your mouth and nose on windy days, plus a thin fleece for sudden evening coolness even in July.
Briefing de la ville — Tunis
- The Tunis-Carthage Airport is undergoing terminal renovation until late 2026; allow extra 15-20 mins check-in time.
- A new light-rail line (TGM extension) from Tunis Marine to La Goulette has been delayed; buses remain the best public route.
- July 3-4 falls within the Carthage International Festival – book museum and site tickets online in advance as day-visitor caps are strict.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to My Appartment, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4 facing the rear courtyard. These floors avoid street-level noise and benefit from the lift being small and slow, so fewer people use upper floors.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms facing the street on floors 1 and 2. The hotel is on a main road in central Tunis, so traffic noise is constant, and the lift opening/closing echoes in the hallway on lower floors.
Best views
Best view is a top-floor room facing the city centre – you see the medina skyline and rooftops, not the busy street below.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 offer the quietest experience. The lift is limited in capacity, so fewer guests go up high, and these floors sit above street clamour.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Avenue Habib Bourguiba filters up – especially buses and scooters. The lift has a mechanical clunk, audible in adjacent rooms on floors 1-2.
Insider tips
Check in after 3pm to request a courtyard room – the reception staff are flexible if they're not busy. Parking is limited to street spots; arrive early evening to find a space before the evening rush.
- 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

Principales attractions à Tunis
💡 Check the board outside for free organ concerts on some weekends. Photography is allowed without flash.
💡 Enter via Rue de la Kasbah and follow the main arteries to avoid getting lost. Haggle politely in the souks.
💡 Bring a picnic and aim for late afternoon when the light is best and families gather. The zoo is cheap but basic.
💡 Take the TGM light rail from Tunis Marine station (about €0.50). Visit early to avoid crowds. The Café des Nattes on the main square is a classic spot for mint tea.
💡 Go on a Sunday morning when it is quieter. The audio guide is worth the small extra cost.
