Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Medina de Tunis
For travelers arriving in the region, Tunis-Carthage International Airport (TUN) is the only airport situated within the city and serves as the primary international gateway. It is the most convenient choice for accessing the city center, offering affordable public transport and quick taxi access. The other airports are not in the city of Tunis at all and require significant travel time to reach the capital. Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport (NBE) is a regional airport often used for tourism; travelers here usually rely on private transfers or direct train services. Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport (MIR) is a major coastal hub, and visitors to Tunis would face a long train or car ride, making it less practical for city-centric itineraries. Tabarka–Aïn Draham International Airport (TBJ) and Pantelleria Airport (PNL) are located in remote or cross-border areas and are generally not recommended for direct access to Tunis unless your travel plans specifically include those regions. Most visitors prioritize TUN to minimize transit time and costs.

The location is in the center of Medina. You need to pass through the market to arrive. After all, it is an African country, which is a bit scary.
The room is very big and has a bathtub, which is luxurious
I had an allergy after eating breakfast. The hotel helped me call the doctor.FromUS$173

The hotel is in the heart of the medina. The hotel manager met us at the car park and we had to walk quite a way to arrive at the hotel. The experience is one not to miss. The hotel is centuries old and they have kept the vibe of that time in the decorating. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Breakfast was simple but had everything we need and it was good.FromUS$50

This “hotel” did not match with me. Not a four star hotel. Location is fine and it’s a nice old building but that is what they lean on.
The service and amenities are poor, breakfast very standard and really limited attention to detail for guests. Expect a 3* guesthouse with friendly staff.FromUS$69

I highly recommend this place. Since it's newly opened, it's very clean, and the staff are genuinely friendly. The location is also great as it isn't too far from the main street. A simple free breakfast is provided, consisting of bread, milk, dates, and yogurt. The hot water in the bathroom works very well, and the air conditioning is available for use. There is a water dispenser in the lobby, so you can drink water and even make instant noodles with the hot water. However, I expected a kitchen, but since I booked the smallest room, it didn't have one like a regular hotel kitchen. It seems they are only available in the larger rooms. Anyway, it is the best value for the price.FromUS$29

Excellent hotel! It's in a very convenient location with cafes nearby. There's a beautiful courtyard, all designed in a traditional style. The staff are very polite. There's a pleasant restaurant on the rooftop, and in the evening, you get a beautiful view of the city. The excellent and hearty breakfast is definitely worth a special mention. Make sure to bring your own toothpaste and toothbrush, as the hotel doesn't provide them.FromUS$73

The hotel is really well located at the entrance to the Medina. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good if you like Tunisian-style. The shower needs some work as the shower head would not stay up (my father’s room was the same). Otherwise a good stay. Will be back later in the week.FromUS$64

Beautiful hotel. Single room a little too small. Really accurate and precise service with towel change in the evening and room check. Only negative note they didn't call me for the wake up call even though I recommended it... I hope next time they give me a bigger room 😀FromUS$80

Mixed review, but overall too pricy hostel for the quality of the service. Having a good location and a cute decoration isn’t enough. Pros and cons below :
Pros :
- Amazing location in the heart of the Medina ideally located
- Cute hostel with beautiful tiles
- Kind and helpful staff
Cons :
- The room we booked in advance was not available when we arrived. Instead of a double bed room, we were put in a bunk beds room with no explication or apologies. No solution, accommodations or compensation were offered to us afterwards. Very poor service from the hotel on that side and I saw online afterwards it’s not the first time they’re doing that
- Noisy hostel with no soundproof rooms at all. All the rooms are close to each other and open to the dining area with the breakfast starting at 7:30am and people coming back very late at night. Earplugs very much needed
- Average breakfast, the quality of the products is poor knowing what is available in the area. Be careful with water as some plastic bottles for breakfast are filled with tap water
- Be aware you’ll have to walk at least 5min in little paved streets after taking off your taxi and finding a taxi to leave the area won’t be always very easyFromUS$40
