Hotel Sindbad Reviews

Not recommended. The rooms are filthy the bathroom is disgusting, food inedible, staff pester you all day for tips and money. aircon in rooms non exsisting.

Tunisia is a horrible place to go to very third world ish people horrible not friendly at all always wanting your money and giving sly and dirty remarks. Sahar excursion was good except the hotel we stayed in overnight it was dirty the bar staff short changed you there where cockaroaches no hot water staff not friendly at all and on the excurtion you are on the coach more times than when you were off the coach. the only best thing about it was are rep his name is john he is a lovely man very funny and told you straight if it wasnt for john i would off been crying on that horrible holiday so thanks john it was really nice to off met you

The restaurant in the hotel was excellent. The hotel was generally very clean. Staff were most helpful and friendly.

The only downfall was that my son's mobile phone went missing from our room whilst we were out. Therefore make sure that your valuables are locked in your safety deposit box.

The desert trip was a definite 'DO NOT MISS'. Especially the Red Lizard Train journey. Our tour guide, with Saphire Tours, bus number 38, on this 3 day excursion was brilliant, his knowledge was exceptional. Our coach driver was good. The hotels we stayed in on the 2 nights could not be faulted in any way.

Also a trip to Madhia on the metro from Sousse was well worth trying.

Be prepared to haggle hard in the medina. Be a price maker not a price taker!

Tunisia's beaches could have been cleaner!

Try the old Turkish (Moorish) baths in Sousse medina, the real thing, not a hotel copy. A massage that will discover muscles you never knew you had!! All for just 5 dinars!

The hotel is on the outskirts of Sousse but not too far away from the centre to be a problem. If you want to visit the nearby towns and don't fancy the walk there are lots of taxis in the area, haggle with the drivers and you'll get the fare reduced by a couple of Dinars.

The hotel itself was spotlessly clean, there was an endless supply of hot water, rooms were cleaned and towels were changed every day. All the staff were helpful and very friendly. There is a nice, clean pool and a sunbathing terrace where beds are handed out to you as you arrive so there's rarely a case of all the best spots being claimed before breakfast. If you'd rather visit the beach it's within walking distance. There was a good choice of food for every meal as well as basic cooking facilities and a fridge in the room.

It's hard to understand why this hotel is a 2 star, there were 'officials' visiting during our stay so hopefully they will be upgraded to a more suitable rating.

If I had any complaints about the holiday it would be with the airline, Nouvelle Air, we had a five hour delay going and over two hours delay coming home.

As a 17 year old female i was a bit apprehensive of going to tunisia after reading some of the reviews about the males in tunisia, and yes you will be stared at and have comments made at you but i in no way felt threatned by any men and would often wonder down to the beach on my own. if you do not stop and jus look straight on the men will not do anything and will often jus carry on doing what they were doing.

the hotel itself is very clean and all the staff are very friendly and helpfull. the entertainment is ok however dont expect it to start at the time it says as in tunisia this rarely happens, however oncce it did start it was usully good and there was a range of activities such as traditional belly dancing. snake charming and a chareoke.

As for going on trips in tunisia we took a 4 day trip to the sahara where we visited the star wars set, an oasis and even took a camal ride at sunrise into the dessert. Although this trip was good i would not recomend it for families with young children as it gets extremly hot and is very tiring especially with the 5 o clock morning starts.

All in all i thought that my trip to tunisia was exellent and my family and i are seriously considering going back next year and to the same hotel. all i will say is that if you are going to tunisia go with and open mind and also a bit of sense of humour and youl be fine.
