The Dar Said in Sidi Bou Said was the first of the group of historic property, boutique hotels to have opened in Tunisia in the last decade or so. The setting perched on a hill in the picturesque Sidi Bou Said makes it a wonderful place to stay. Rooms are each slightly different due to the old architecture, the Andalusian... More

Dar Said’s location is unrivalled, and the views stunning, but unfortunately the service does not live up to what should be one of Tunisia’s best boutique hotels. I stayed here for night before, and the night of my wedding, and I was apparently given the best suite in the hotel. What is unfortunate about Dar Said is that the bathrooms... More

Dar Said is very lucky it has no competition. It enjoys a stunning location but it is understaffed and poorly maintained and, despite being listed in SLH (small luxury hotels) it is not in the least bit luxurious. SLH is mainly a marketing organisation to which you pay an annual membership fee and whilst it purports to monitor its members... More

It's a nice hotel full of charm and character. The hotel has a nice faded grandeur and a good location from which to mix with the locals. Better value meals, outside of the hotel, are to be found nearer the railway station. Although I enjoyed staying here I thought it was a bit expensive for what you get.

My friend (American) and I (British) with our families (two husbands and three kids 10,8 &3) recently stayed here for 10 days in Room 6 The Suite and Room 8 ( a mini suite). Room 6 is one of the most expensive rooms and overlooks both the sea and pool. Whilst we thought the room itself was very spacious comfortable... More

This village is a place for Americans to get to know and the hotel Dar Said is a great place to relax and enjoy one of the world's great spots. When we were there in May 2011, there was so much uncertainty about the revolution that a curfew was in effect at 9:00pm. Even in a curfew, this was a... More

The rooms at Dar Said were unique and lovely, the service commendable, and the scent of jasmine in the cool evening intoxicating. But what makes staying at Dar Said so memorable is the awe-inspiring view. Perched high on the cliff above the charming blue and white buildings of Sidi Bou Said, the location is unmatched. We loved spending our last... More

I stayed at Hotel Dar Said with a friend, while visiting my son who is working in Tunis. My daughter and her boyfriend were also there for some of the time with us. My friend and I shared a twin room, which we found to be very comfortable, attractive and spacious, with everything we needed. Although it didn't have a... More

Stayed at this nice and friendly place during a business trip and loved it. It's located in the middle of the lovely town of Sidi Bou Said. Rooms are charming and spacious, well equipped though slightly in need of renovation. There's a pool we didn't use because weather was not so good but which has a nice view over the... More

As many have said before, this is a nice property with loads of character in a beautiful location. However, the price vis a' vis the service, attention to detail and so on, just doesn't match. The rooms are spacious and clean, but the details are where things start to unravel. There is paint on the glass doors, chipped plaster in... More
