Best views
Rooms facing east or west may offer a glimpse of the Mediterranean Sea or the city skyline, respectively, although the hotel's urban location means that views may be partially obstructed by surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors

Tunis-Carthage Airport → Place Barcelone (near Hotel Princesse)
💡 Bus stop is outside terminal 1 exit. Ask driver for 'Barcelone' stop. Then it's a 10-minute walk east along Avenue Habib Bourguiba to the hotel. Watch for pickpockets near the bus station.
Tunis Marine station → Place Barcelone station
💡 For Hotel Princesse, get off at Place Barcelone (not Tunis Marine). The hotel is a 2-minute walk from the station exit. Avoid riding during 08:00–09:00 and 17:00–18:00 — it's rammed. Buy a rechargeable card at any station kiosk.
Tunis Marine station → La Marsa
💡 Great for a day trip to the coast. Ride the TGM north from Tunis Marine to Sidi Bou Said (blue-and-white village) or La Marsa beach. The railway runs right along the sea — sit on the left for the view. Valid with the same rechargeable card.
Tunis-Carthage Airport → Hotel Princesse
💡 Ignore drivers offering fixed prices inside arrivals. Walk to the official taxi rank outside; meters start at 0.500 TND. Have small bills — drivers rarely have change for 20 TND notes.
