Dar Alouini

A very unique guesthouse located in the heart of the walled city of Kairouan. The guesthouse has a somewhat nondescript front door, but luckily a local saw our struggle to find it and graciously took us to the entrance! We had a rental car, and loved having the option to park in their underground garage for the night. The guesthouse is incredibly unique, tiled walls, a center courtyard, everything was beautiful and very authentic for the area. There also was a small indoor pool/sauna, but we didn't end up using it. The room we had was very clean, and we were provided snacks, fruit, and a bottle of water in our room upon arrival. The only hiccup we experienced was that there were rolling blackouts the night we were there, which knocked the power out for the entire block in the the town. Overall, it lasted probably less than an hour but the manager on duty was incredibly apologetic, going above and behind to help, even bringing candles to our room, and lighting the courtyard with even more candles. The next morning, there was a free breakfast offered. There were options of meats, cheeses, nuts, and bread, etc. As not a huge egg eater with dietary restrictions, I felt bad that a frittata was made for me without ordering it. I only wish they informed us what we were being served and had given us the option whether to have it or not. Oh! there is also a fantastic, very large roof/sitting area with incredible views of the city -- definitely worth checking out. Overall, a super unique stay and the location can't be beat!

Very friendly welcome from the family. Pity we didn’t book ahead and have dinner in the hotel as I’m sure it would have been good. Car parking in the basement but best to stop nearby and ask them to show you. Luxuriously furnished traditional rooms
