Steigenberger Marhaba Thalasso Hammamet

It was in no way a conventional 5* hotel, it's a "tunisian 5* hotel", the stuff are 50/50, communicating with you only if you're either tunisian or giving them money, the room is big and empty, usually badly maintained, beds are very rigid and only single without even the possibility of transforming into a twin bed, the food is very basic with a minimal choice and slow serving creating lines of waiting people, outside the dining hours there is basically nothing to eat, the pools're not heated, with sand (bad cleaning), working from 10 to 18 "officially", unsupervised children everywhere, the booz is either too diluted or too concentrated, depend on your luck with the bar, there is no fresh juices or a variety of non alcoholic drinks, tea and coffee are undrinkable. The is no medical help, and they dont even help you with organising it (thank god we had a good insurance). The hotel imposes on you a ton of rules upon arrival, but none of theme are respected later on buy anyone. If you have to travel to Tunisia and want to fell kinda 5*, then maybe it's your choice, otherwise i dont recommend neither the country nor this hotel.

BON HOTEL MAIS CRAFAR QUI SE PROMENAIT AU COULOIR ET CLIMATISATION INEXISTANTE Hôtel en générale très bien mais il faut perfectionner les détails. Inadmissible voir un crafar qui courrait sur le long du couloir et avec une température chaude se faire dire qu'on a le chauffage. On est sorti de l'hôtel pour aller ailleurs. La nuit on a dormi avec la porte du balcon ouverte pour la chaleure

Nothing unique, restaurant was nice, buffet was laid out very well and staff very nice, not all speak english, so there was some issues with languages. Bed was nice, room had ussues, especially air conditioner, but we mived the bed to the middle of the room to sleep somewhat cool.

Needs lots of improvement I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Steigenberger Marhaba Thalasso Hotel in Hammamet, Tunisia, a property with great potential and a beautiful architectural structure. However, I feel compelled to share a number of serious concerns observed during my stay, with the hope that you will consider taking appropriate action. The in-room air conditioning is centrally controlled, leaving guests unable to adjust the temperature according to their comfort. The bathrooms are not equipped with a window, fan, or aspirator, which creates obvious issues with ventilation and hygiene. There is no business corner available to guests — not even a single computer or printer, which today should be a basic amenity in a hotel of this category. After restaurant hours, there is no vending machine or service point available to purchase a drink or snack. In-room information is severely lacking: no directory, no internal phone list, and no guide to services or emergency contact numbers. The general cleanliness is below standard. The room carpets and those in the hallways are worn out, smelly, and visibly stained — a clear sign of neglect. The housekeeping staff, although doing their best, seem to lack adequate equipment, such as professional vacuum cleaners or proper cleaning tools, which hinders their efficiency. It is apparent that the hotel is understaffed and that the existing team is overextended. This impacts both service quality and overall guest experience.
