Run down, under renovation for years. Works seem to never end.
Apartments kitchen are in unacceptable condition
But still the cheapest option around….
For travelers ready to compromise

Overall the stay was okay, my apartment needed some updating. It had no shower curtain so the bathroom got flooded everytime we showered. There was no microwave in the apartment. Getting towels for showering was a chore. My bed had rips in it. Overall the property is beautiful, we enjoyed the pools and enjoyed walks looking out at the ocean. I should note that upon entry into the lobby there was a looming stench. Employee Fethi was amazing and was a help to us upon arrival and departure of property. The owner of the boutique within the hotel was also friendly. Desk service was abrupt and dismissive, it did not matter who was tending to the desk.

Golden should be manly about it and give back at least two stars. It is a 3 stars property. Dirty. Filthy dirty. The employees have no manners to the point that to make them stop i threatened to call the police at 1:00 am. This place should be closed for a health inspection, demoted by the Tourism Ministry and delisted from Expedia.

The residence we had was old, sofa dirty, ac remote did not work, tv did not work and bathroom sink would not drain. Paid to sleep in a decent bed and swim in a pool that bad no towels. Reception and cleaning ladies nice. Should have been offered a new room right away, instead waited for maintenance that took forever so we gave up.

Comfortable place but room for improvement

The room itself is very clean, comfortable, and nice. My unit had plenty of space with a kitchenette, living room with a couch, and a bedroom. I saw two cockroaches on my unit, but other than that it was clean for the 3 weeks I stayed there.

Front Desk: All of the front desk people understand and speak English. You may to repeat it a few times in order for them to completely understand it, but they understand better than most of the Tunisian population. If you come with bags, the bag boy/guy holds your bag ransom for tips.

Maintenance/Housekeeping: It's a hit or miss when requesting housekeeping. I've requested it 4x but housekeeping only stopped by 2x. They will give you a fresh bottle of water each time which is nice. But everything else may be inconsistent. When I arrived there were only 2 bath towels. First housekeeping gave me 2 bath towels and a hand towel. 2nd housekeeping took my hand towel away and didn't replace. She also used my shopping bag as a trash can bag. So it seems like they run out of materials.

Location: location is kind of secluded from the city. It's great if you're looking for peace and quiet. But if you're looking for sightseeing or somewhere to walk around the city, you would have to catch a taxi (the one parked in the hotel are rip offs/they will charge you 4x as much). Make sure their meter works and is not covered. If it's covered, they are ripping you off, find another taxi.

Apartment was nice, with everything you'd expect. Lots of space for a good price and was comfortable. Breakfast buffet was big and hotel in which the restaurant was location, was stunning. Apartments portion of the hotel needs a bit of an update, but still was a good holiday.

Great experience

Service is great. Wifi is very strong, was able to stream netflix without interruption. Hotel has an indian restaurant that is surprisingly very good.
Location is great, five minute drive or taxi ride to marsa. Staff is very friendly. The hotel could use a bit of updating but overall pretty comfortable. Would stay again.

Relaxing hotel - but no wifi

The hotel is modern and comfortable. The staff are helpful. The food is good (breakfast and Calcutta restaurant). Fitness centre is good.

But the stay was ruined by the wifi not working in the Residence room. So I would not stay (in Residence again). Also there was no kettle. No water was supplied and the shop was closed - so it was not possible to make a drink.

Disappointing

The Hotels.com web site places 5 stars against this hotel, which is a gross exaggeration. I may have been unlucky, but my room had far too many faults (lights not functioning, air conditioning control only partly functional, no water provided, door to patio unlockable, etc). Staff are charming, but don't seem too motivated to provide service (examples: nobody offers tea or coffee at breakfast....you have to go to ask, if you sit in the coffee area mid-morning, nobody comes to serve you...you have to go to ask). I get the feeling that this is a management problem rather than a staff problem. If higher standards were demanded by the bosses, the staff look willing enough to raise their game.....if some rooms were randomly inspected each day by the management and those responsible \"gripped\" if things aren't up to standard, then rooms would be of a higher standard. This hotel is most certainly NOT a 5 star hotel. I was disappointed by it and will not return.

Nice resort, apartments may need some work

Had a very nice stay, hotel staff were generally very friendly.Would have like to have seen more management of taxis allowed onsite.

Apartments are 4* but need some work. Very few utensils were in my apartment and one cupboard had no bottom in it so was absolutely pointless!! Some small handyman jobs and very minor repairs would get this definitely into 4*, I'd suggest that the room I had was closer to a 3*.

Housekeeping was generally thorough although noisy with a lot of shouting across apartment blocks to each other. I asked for the floor to be mopped when I arrived, as long hairs from a previous occupant were on bedroom and living room floor, but this was rectified very courteously.

I would go back, it was nice to be able to use the hotel facilities, lovely pools, and a very safe area of Tunis and short cheap pop in a taxi down the hill into La Marsa (with meter!).

Watch your belongings. Bad service

My portable battery (power bank) was removed from the room!! It was removed on the day before my last stay and I could not report to the police. The service was not good either. I asked for the hair dryer upon arrival on the first day and I had to keep asking 7 times and I finally got it at the front desk next day. Is it so difficult for 4star hotel??

Sympa! A faire

hotel tres bien situé. le paysage est magnifique. le centre ville est situee à 5 min en taxi ( facilement accessible).
l’hotel residence est en soi sympa mais meriterait un petit rafraîchissement ( carrelage cassé, four inutilisable, beignoir sans bouchon, vaiselle qui reste à l’exterieur ... toute la journee...)
concernant le personnel : dans l’ensemble très agréable et à l’ecoute, hotel sous tres haute sécurité... on vous demande le numero de votre chambre au moins 3 fois par jour.. cela donne parfois une mauvaise sensation..
Pour les mauvais côtés : femme de chambre qui oubli 3 jrs de suite de vois changer les serviettes, de mettre du papier toilette , télécommande de télévison qui ne fonctionne pas , salle de fete de mariage qui n’est pas insonorisée.. une nuit en moins de sommeil... autant de petites choses qui font que cela devient désagréable !
A l’accueil, une seule personne m’a été désagréable, un monsieur d’un certain age qui vous regarde de haut quand vous demandez la réservation d’une navette aeroport.. en vous indiquant qu’il verra en fonction.(??!)
côté repas: je n’ai testé que le petit dejeuner et ce que je peux en dire est juste superbe! au top : beaucoup de choix , tres bon et personnel au petit soin.
en conclusion , l’hotel est perché au sommet d’une colline avec un point de vue magnifique , calme, sympathique , ideal pour un sejour detente et chouchouté.
je le recommande (avec les quelques réflexions faites en moins ...)

Hotel moyen

le wifi dans les chambres est compliqué à avoir ce qui est très inconfortable pour bosser. La propreté n'est pas au top, l'impression que la chambre n'a pas été très bien faite que les draps ont été utilisé avant que je n'arrive. Le petit déjeuner n'est pas à la hauteur de cet hôtel, les produits ne sont pas frais
