    For a new hotel there was NO lift, if this is important to you. Breakfast was basic but sufficed. WI FI kept dropping out. As there are only two hotels in El Jem, this one is about a 41-minute walk out of the town. Basically, in the middle of nowhere. You need to get reception to call you a taxi and it is about a 15-minute wait. However, it served it's purpose. Hotel Julius is right next to the train station and the amphitheatre.

    Nice new hotel and friendly staff.

    Unfortunately, the restaurant and the bar do not match the quality of the hotel.

    The hotel is really well kept, perfectly neat and in order. Far above Tunisian standards to be honest. Personnel very educated and available.

    Dar Ammar is located just outside the highway exit to El Djem, where the traffic is not crazy. I was on a road trip, so it worked well for me. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Cute welcome lemonade drink at check-in. Decent dinner.

    The rooms were cold. It seemed like they were doing their best to be an upmarket hotel but a lot missing, I had to ask for wifi code, tv wasnt working, no instructions about anything in the room, not even fire escape information. No bin in the bathroom. Staff did their best but need a bit more training. No one on checkout when I left. No lift, so you may have to carry bags up a few flights of stairs. Quite a way out of town.

    It is trying to be a boutique hotel but just missing the mark a bit. Good clean rooms, Breakfast excellent

    Had to purchase an additional room or find an alternative because I was traveling with friends of the opposite gender. It you're going to El Jem, there's a hotel that's much closer to the monument.

    The water pressure, heat and facilities were spotless. The hotel is dead quiet and remote.

    A below average 4 star hotel

    At the time of my booking, it indicates that there is a swimming pool, however it is not exist in reality, I suppose it is under construction, I can see some excavation work at the back yard of the hotel. The facilities in the room is really undesirable, the worst I met in my 21 days trip in Tunisia, just list some: 1. no air conditioning - you got central circulation of air without air conditioning; 2. broken chair provide in side; 3. no glass in room, 4. sliding door to balcony cant be locked; 5. no lift to upper floor. The breakfast and dinner is something below average, the staff for the dinner is invisible, you have either find the opposite fast food stall staff to find him or you find him in the kitchen !!! The food quality of the dinner is really below average in Tunisia.

    The welcome drink is good idea to please guest. There are not many guest at the time of our stay, it is really quiet, the hotel is located at a place about 5 minutes away from town and there is no building around so it is very safe with a guard controlled gate for in and out.

    I didn't like that the second bed in our twin room was not made up properly (sheet arranged in a way that was not useable, just artistically arranged). You don't expect to have to make your own bed in a 4*hotel. I pointed this out and the guy just pointed to thick duvet in cupboard. Ideally a light blanket option would be nice for the spring. Bedside lights didn't work at all (neither of them). No lift, despite looking for it and asking staff, so if you are disabled ask for ground floor room (most were first or second floor). We found it inappropriate that a member of staff in his 20s would give his personal contact details to 2 married women in their 50s and 80s who he had only just met and shown to their room. This is disrespectful and frankly, a bit creepy.

    New hotel, building of high quality, nice rooms, nice shower, enjoyed the balcony, good view, quiet as away from town centre. Lovely breakfast and friendly cafe staff. Had a play area for children.

    I didn't realise it was so far out of town, had to eat there. No glasses in bedroom., Too remote

    The spaciousness of the place, collecting us from the Colessium, the friendliness of staff. Breakfast was good as Continental breakfasts go
