"We come here for an annual 3 night escape without the kids during our vacation…breakfast is nice as always. Definite improvement on the spa services from 2 yrs ago. Check-in is never on time and we had to go on an adventure looking for cash to pay because they said their system was down and couldn’t pay with card...at least we discovered that there is a small “mall” nextdoor. The pool remains a scene to watch with the drama of the “reserved cabanas”…but I just put out our towels in one of them each morning and don’t care about what he thinks. All around ok stay."

"A gem of a hotel right in the heart of Sidi Bou Said. Everything you need is a walking distance. Everything about it was worth the money. Stayed about 1 week and everyday was blown away by the views, either from the room itself or from the rooftop which was easily one of the best views you can get in any city. The service was 5star from the beginning, Walid and his team were the most helpful, friendly and cheerful staff I've met, we ordered the massage in the spa and that was fantastic. The pool area and loungers were great. All i can say is if you ever want to take to a trip to Sidi Bou Said make sure you stop over at Neira, its amazing. Many thanks and appreciation to all the team there from the cleaners, the breakfast ladies, Ibrahim and Feriel the most amazing hotel staff."
