The place is gorgeous but it needs to close and go through an entire renovation. The staff is nice but they need to be trained to an international standard (apart from a very professional lady at the reception).
Location is awesome if you’re looking for a local experience, just at the entrance of the kasbah and at the end of a beautiful boulevard.

Ideal location to explore the medina, as it’s on your doorstep.
Rooms didn’t look like the pictures on hotels.com, the room & bathroom was as lot smaller.
AC just blowed out hot air, when I went to reception I was told that they did not blow cold air. Maybe they only switch on the cold function in summer. This meant opening the window because the room got stuffy, subsequently was bitten quite a few times by mosquitoes.
Rooftop was closed for renovation when we stayed.
Breakfast buffet was OK but I’ve had better.
TV reception poor.
Friendly staff.

Good service and right next to the medina. Nice cosy room with a balcony. Breakfast adequate but nothing special.

The hotel is in a great location. The hotel staff were friendly - the breakfast staff went above and beyond. The hotel itself is quite tired. The hot water was on and off. There is very little communal space. The roof was closed. The cafe at the front had limited opening times. There was not much security. The TV didn't work. There was nothing in the mini-bar.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful old building. The location between the medina and the modern shopping strip is excellent, and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Good hotel with history. Great location and close to everything, very convenience.

This historic hotel, boasting a few centuries of respectable heritage, enjoys a prime location adjacent to the French gate, the heart of Tunis. While the room's small size slightly compromised comfort, its proximity to high traffic areas posed a challenge for my asthma (perhaps I should have kept the windows closed). A notable highlight was the courteous staff, who kindly provided us with umbrellas when raining.

Very Nice Hotel. The Royal Victoria is a very nice hotel just outside the Tunis Medina. The hotel is showing some wear but perfectly acceptable accommodations. The staff are amazing, from Omar and Hassan at the front desk to the ladies managing the kitchen at breakfast. All very accommodating to ensure your stay is perfect. My only complaints: (1) the air conditioning in out suite did not cool the room. Not sure it was working. Notified staff but no improvement. And (2) the WiFi is spotty. We stayed in one of the suites at the end of the hall, and the WiFi rarely connected.

Beautiful hotel but getting old

The hotel was ok. AC was not turned on. Staff were friendly. Unfortunately, we left three days early and were promised a refund. They never issued the refund.
The location is not good. Everything around is run down and in disrepair. Pigeons everywhere. There are VERY FEW decent restaurant choices and almost none accept credit cards. I would advise against staying in Tunis. It is run down, dirty and crowded. Make your base of operation in another town (perhaps on the beach). Having said this, the people are friendly and very helpful.

This hotel is about location. Right next to the famous Medina and to Avenue Habiba Burghariba. Courteous and prompt staff, excellent breakfast!’
Downside: Noise from the street below can filter in your room, which is unavoidable.

I was there in March 2023 and found the room to be cold. While there was a thermostat, I could never get the temperature in the room to get above 17C. The manager told me it was at its maximum. They brought an extra comforter and small heater, but the heater really did not work very well.

Amazing location, very friendly staff, excellent food, and it was like being in a museum in terms of decor. The only real problem was the poor internet quality. It was so poor that you couldn't even watch YouTube videos without them freezing. Other than that, I would for sure stay there again. Just don't plan on working online for an extended period of time while there.

It used to be a very good hotel in past, but it's super old now and they did not do a great maintenance. The shower is a disaster. Breakfast is very bad. The location is a little dangerous at night and super full during the day (it's right at the medina). I would not recommend.
