Amilcar Hotel

My husband and I went to Tunis for a week on business and pleasure; we have been living in Algiers for 6 months now so I did not have the luxury of booking on the net but I did however see it on the net and thought it was ok. When we arrived, the entrance looks impressive and the view of the sea and the beach looked nice. When we checked in (for just one night to start with) we were led around a maze of a hotel, the first thing that struck me was the smell! Also the floors were dirty with fag butts on the floor and lots of dust, it looked very grubby and dirty. The hotel room was not much better, the air-con was crap and didn't make any difference, the bath was rusty and the shower attachment didn’t work, and I was certainly not having a bath in that old thing. The towels were old and past it, and the room also smelt, so much so I used half a tin of deodorant to attempt to mask the smell. The staff were rude and unhelpful. We were hungry and tired after our journey but the state of the hotel put me off eating there, besides after leaving our room to get something to eat there was three massive cockroaches. This hotel is disgusting I would not leave my dog here. It is advertised as a three stars, I’ve stayed in nicer 2 stars! We checked out the following day - be very aware.
