I stayed in a large and elegant room with beautiful architectural details. Nice breakfast and overall a very special place with a pleasant courtyard.

Dar Ya is conveniently located in Tunis’ medina with friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms and common areas, nice rooftop terrace, and great breakfast (both sweet and savoury options available). One downside was that the wifi was only available in the common courtyard, but not too big of a deal as there’s plenty of seating there.

This property is a real gem. Easy walk down to the Medina but very quiet and out of the way. A bit tricky to find but the amazing staff met me out on the street and showed me in. All staff members were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the breakfast was wonderful. I loved this property!

Beautiful and friendly hostel
Lovely hostel, great friendly staff who always greeted us with a smile, really nice breakfast. Really good location in the Medina, near all the sites but also quiet, and absolutely beautiful looking hostel with all the tiles. Rooftop terrace was a great bonus with lovely views of the city. 10/10.

Great value and friendly staff
The three staff I met at the hostel were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were always available and willing to provide information about places to eat and how to get around. I had a single room and it was beautifully decorated and very warm (perfect since it was cold outside). The breakfast was much bigger than I would expect at a hostel and was an incredible deal. Located in the heart of the Medina, Dar Ya Hostel was a great place to stay.

8/10 Very Good

This is called a hostel simply because of the shared toilets and shower rooms, but the rooms are individual rooms and are beautiful and clean. It is few minutes away from the main part of souk. I gave it a 4 because I don't like having to walk out of my bedroom to get to the toilet in the middle of the night.

Beautiful house with warm welcome
This is a beautiful house, close to the heart of the Tunis medina. The room was very spacious and we enjoyed eating breakfast in the covered courtyard. The rooftop terrace has a good view but there were no tables or chairs. The host spoke good English and gave us excellent advice for finding local vegetarian food.

Perfect Medina Stay
Amazing! A ride from the airport was only 15€! All of the guys working at the front desk were so kind and friendly. Very clean rooms. Loved the simple breakfast in the morning. Great social area and also a rooftop available.

They overbooked our room, means they had no room for us after a reservation 3 month before. Not recommended to stay there!

Disappointing local, nice staff
The hotel is located in an area inaccessible by car so taxis will leave you outside of the medina and you have to take a walk through the confusing small streets to get there (not recommended at night). the room was very cramped and extremely hot with very dim light on the roof top with only a small fan. I could not sleep all night. the breakfast was ok and the staff were very nice and welcoming.

4/10 Fair

The location of this property is right in the heart of the action of the Medina. There are elements to the physical building and decorations that feel authentic. I arrived around 11 am, and I was checked in promptly. Several disappointing things from the check in: The person who checked me in didn’t speak any English, which isn’t a necessity, but also did not provide any other information to me in my native tongue, specifically accessing the building or offer assistance regarding an ongoing issue with iPhones connecting to the WiFi. My initial room looked GREAT-until I was trying to sleep and was awoken by incessant jack-hammering on the wall 2 feet from the bed. Tired from several days of travel, I asked to be moved to another room; it was MUCH smaller, and less welcoming asthetivall

Well staffed with helpful and outgoing people who are willing to help problem solve with their visitors. The breakfast buffet is small but with adequate variety, instant coffee. I booked their 3 day/2 night tour upon arrival (not sure if in tourist season this is possible) and had a wonderful time seeing the South. My driver/ guide was pleasant. And the sites I was easily able to see had variety which provided a snap shot into many aspects of life. Enjoyed my stay very much

A beautiful place right in the old medina. Very nicely decorated with extremely helpful staff. All the rooms face out into the central courtyard, so it was a bit loud while people were talking, but once everyone went to bed it was absolutely silent. I really loved the nicely painted furnishings, they gave a lot of character and appeal to the room. The breakfast was nice for the region with a good selection.

6/10 Good

Quaint but nice
I would call the hostel quaint, if you are wanting the authentic experience then this may be for you. As it is winter it was cold outside, however the central heating in the room was on full blast (lucky us). There were stairs on the wall which led to an upstairs area/room, but it was empty, gathering dust. The main aspect of the stay that stuck out to me was the communal bathroom... I must have missed it when I booked it and got quite of a shock when I found out.
