Hôtel Sidi Salem

Hôtel Sidi Salem

10/10 Excellent
"This is a great hotel for exploring Bizerte. The staff are super helpful, especially the reception staff Haikul and Mohammad. Housekeeping were amazing bringing extra towels whenever needed. The pool area is great for relaxing and there's a pool bar that has brilliant staff who serve a selection of beverages and food including authentic tunisian cuisine. The best thing about the hotel is the location. There is great access to local amenities, including the port which is only 10 minutes away."
