Hôtel Carlton

Tunis


The only boutique option in Centre Ville (and only tenuously so), this hotel on the main drag offers good-sized rooms with small work desks, satellite TVs and small but squeaky-clean bathrooms. The decor is as hip as the Ville gets, with some decent contemporary art on the walls, and comfort levels are reasonably high. A safe choice.
