We had a wonderful stay at Dar El Yasmine! Helene and Mohammed were wonderful hosts from helping us with our taxi from the airport until our departure. The room was wonderful, quiet, even spacious. The entire grounds are lovely. The breakfasts were remarkable! Homemade jams and yogurt complimented delightful pastries and juices. We had a room with a small kitchen that allowed us to have an occasional meal there.
As other reviews have noted, this spot isn’t in the most exciting neighborhood. Rather, this is in a residential area (with some nearby cafes and a grocery market in walking distance). We got between the B&B and the rest of Tunis via (very affordable) taxis using the Bolt app, which I recommend highly for getting around the city. With that in mind, the location was great since it’s about halfway between Carthage/Sidi Bou Said/beaches to the east and the medina/European city to the west. Rides were seldom more than 15 minutes and 5 USD/Euro.
Moreover, Helene’s advice on what to see and how to visit all of Tunis’s fabulous sites was absolutely indispensable. We wouldn’t have had such a great trip without it. Next time I’m in Tunis, I’ll absolutely stay here.

Tunisian hospitality and accommodation
Posted 1 Jun 2022 on HotelsAs soon as our host opened the gate from the residential Tunisian street we found ourselves in a beautiful garden. Breakfast was charmingly served in that garden which included loquats from their tree. Our host even took us on a tour of newly renovated units featuring artwork by a local artist. Mohammed assisted us in setting up a tour to the Roman ruins at Dougga as well and made good suggestions for restaurants and assisted us with logistics. In Tunis, using “Bolt”, ( think Uber) helps with city transportation and he showed us how to download and use this system.

A home away from home
Posted 11 Nov 2018 on HotelsI had a very relaxing stay at Dar El Yasmine. The room was very comfortable and clean and had a terrace, breakfast each morning was delicious, the hosts Helene and Muhammad were very helpful and answered all my questions and provided recommendations for sights to see on the weekend and nice places to eat in. It is located between the the Lacs and La Marsa which was convenient for traveling to business meetings in different parts of the city. Finally, the wifi was very important to me as I was on a business trip and it never failed me. Helene and Muhammad made me feel at home and I really felt that Dar El Yasmine was a home away from home rather than a Guest House. .

Avoid this place. It is very inconvenient. There are no restaurants, no grocery stores,no business of any kind close by. False advertising. Stay away from any place with the name of Dar in it.owner falsely claimed air conditioning wasn't working, didn't offer to fix since it wasn't broken as I happened to check by chance minutes before leaving to airport. Room smelled. Bad and hasn't been cleaned for some time. Is not worth the price paid. Many of the services mentioned aren't provided. Breakfast is awful and tasteless and provided on the cheap. Flies were all over the place druing the day and mosquitoes at nights. Bathroom is very tiny and difficult to utilize.

Dear Mr Salem S,
Thank you for your feedback .We would like to comment as follows:
You stayed with us 2 nights ( 1 full day, late arrival , early departure).
Check in time at our guest house finishes at 10pm but nevertheless we waited until midnight for your arrival although no answer to our various messages
Indeed the A/C in your room went down unfortunately a couple of hours on that same day and it was then too late to bring someone in to fix it . You were advised immediately upon arrival and offered to stay in another room for 2 people (as this was the only room left). You mentioned it was not a major issue as in Arizona where you live the temperature is much higher.
We provided you with a fan which was found broken and put in the wardrobe .
The A/C has been fixed and works now fine.
Best regards

A special experience
Posted 2 Feb 2018 on HotelsA very pleasant stay with welcoming and friendly people. The property is very comfortable with a useful kitchenette area. A very good breakfast with homemade jam, yoghourt, fresh juice, eggs, and good coffee. Suitable for 1 or 2 nights at beginning or end of stay as you have to rely on taxis for Tunis centre (although these are not expensive, approx 3 euros). Very handy for airport, Carthage and Sidi Bou Said. French owner speaks perfect English
