Sousse - Monastir, Tunisia Hotel Rooms at the Independent

I passed an Amazing Time , Staff was friendly everything was great !

Nice familly or for fun vacation. I will go back for next vacation for sure.

Positive things: - good food and plenty dish to choose from; - the pool is gorgeous: big, lots of palms and little bridges; - the staff is ok but they look like they are always expecting a tip, in fact, some of them have a spectacular change of attitude afetr you tip them. Not so positive things: - the cleaning service didn't satisfied me at all: we have the sheets changed after 5 days of staying and the cleaning lady kept the balcony door open with one of my shoes. - the bed in our room was making all kind of noises.

A nice facility with well-kept grounds and a spacious, light lobby. Very clean inside and out. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was good and offered a good variety. No smoking was allowed in the restaurant, which was nice from a non-smoker's viewpoint, however the lobby became quite smoke-filled after dinner when we wanted to play cards with other guests - not pleasant! The indoor pool is nice, and there's a whirlpool area within the pool. A nice addition might have been a separate hot tub-type jacuzzi. A good bargain for the money.

Because we have been staying at hostels and sleeping in train stations for the majority of our trip, this hotel is probably put under better light by this review. It's along a line of resorts, but don't think you'll be staying at one even close. The room was badly cleaned, but they had AC available and when the windows were shut, it kept a good deal of the noise out. However, Tunisian people like to stay up VERY late, so you shouldn't be upset to hear a lot of ruckus up until 4am or so. The staff were very friendly and we were lucky to have the night security speak a great deal of English as we know almost no French or Arabic. But communication was fine when we tried. We felt secure for the most part, but a lot of the loud noises could be jarring and the only thing that helped that was not being on the first floor. Our AC in the first room was broken and it was SO hot and stuffy but when we asked to change rooms they were very nice about it. Overall it was a pleasant experience, but I can see many people being highly disappointed with the cleanliness and location (street noise).

Have stayed in many of Tunisia's hotels as my husband and I are resident there.This one had mixed reviews but was really excellent as Tunisian hotels go.Food was very good,staff unfailingly pleasant.Will use in future as our stopover hotel.(show not very good but funny) Room was a mini suite and slightly tired looking but spotless.

I have stayed in some of the worlds best and worst hotels and one rule still applies - you get what you pay for. If you pay a modest outlay for a holiday then you can normally expect a modestly priced hotel in return and that is where this hotel sits. It is not perfect, of course not, which hotels are, but if you manage your expectation you can enjoy all what PE Kantoui has to offer in a good hotel for a very modest outlay. Most guests are middle aged and are either German, French or Russian. Brits are very fimly in the minority here - so if you like to be amongst british guests think again about coming here. Bedrooms are quite spacious are carpeted and come with a bathroom which is well appointed with a fully functional shower with excellent water pressure, bath, toilet and a built in sink with plenty of storage space. tHE BEACH ..is simply gorgeous. White, fine sand and a lovely warm sea. dINING AND FOOD The first point is as this is All Inclusive you cannot and should not expect Al la carte food. The food is aimed at mass catering but still maintaining quality and I think as a general foodie they achieved that. if you want sun, sea and sand in a good hotel on the beach for a reasonable cost you cannot go wrong here. If you want European style sophistication then don't come to Tunisia. This hotel, may not be a 5 star luxury but is is a well managed hotel and the staff are very keen to ensure you have a good time and will be very accomodating for you.

i wouldn stay there again if they pay me money. the hotel ,facility, confort, food , cleanliness,staff performance etc etc all need massive improvement to satisfy guests

Very bad experience. We was so disapointed with all. Even the pictures of expedia dont was the real situation of hotel. We travel 24 hours to sleep in a very bad place. Really bad experience. I dont recommend.

The hotel is certainly not five star by UK standards. The rooms are in need of rennovation, but are reasonably sized. I would describe the rooms as three star (by UK standards). The general decor of the hotel is tired. The leisure facilities at the hotel were very good. The outdoor pool was large (if a little cold in April) and the indoor pool was well maintained and warm (31C in April). The tennis courts looked good. What really lets this hotel down is its service though. We were originally given a room with twin beds (rather than a double as requested) without a working shower. The reception staff we extremely unhelpful and unfriendly, and only when we threatened to change hotel did they offer us another room. The breakfast serving staff were also very rude. Given the range of leisure facilities available, this hotel is quite good value, but don't expect too much from the rooms or the service!
