I stayed in the Marhaba Royal Salem and thought it was brill!

Had such a great time, the weather was gorgeous and the staff were soo friendly, especially with my little brother who they all adored!

The food was nice but sometimes I think we ate 2 much in one go, I cant tell you how great all the staff were, they really made the holiday.

The facilities are great - with the spa, gym, pools evrything u need. the location was great being so close to the beach and the hotel gardens were beautiful but on the main there was lots of works goin to build a pathway - when thats finished it will be perfect.

The shops were good too and it was nice being able to do so many different things just in the hotel area. Nightimes were great too especially next door in the marhaba salem - snake charmers, folkdance, kareoke, the nightclub is fun too it looks like something out of scarface - 70s with all mirrors etc.

The entertainment staff are the best part of the hotel L'd say - the guys are so funny and easy going and cute!met some really nice people and wil definetely be going back soon!

I stayed at this hotel with my friend and her two children for christmas. The hotel it's self was great it was a taxi ride from sousse witch cost 3.000 that is about

This was our first visit to Tunisia and this hotel, so we had done our research via this site and I can tell you that we were not disappointed.

The hotel itself is a good size and is kept very clean at all times. The gardens are tended everyday and give you the opportunity for a pleasent stroll each day in nice surroundings. The room we stayed in was on the 3rd floor of a block, away from the main hotel building and it was very quiet at all times. The room itself was basic, but fine and was cleaned on a daily basis, beds made / sheets changed, fresh towels etc. We had a small balcony with a partial view of the sea, which was nice and it also gave us fantastic views of the sunrise each morning.

The main hotel pool is a very decent size and has a roped off shallow end for the kids, so you don't have to worry too much that they will stray out of their depth. The main pool is where all the entertainment is based throughout the day and night. The entertainment is run by the "Animation" team. These are some of the hardest working people I have ever met!! Mou-Mou, Sou-Sou, Serg, Juliene etc (5 or 6 staff in all)generally work from 9:30am through to midnight 6 days a week. Music is played everyday around the main pool and activites vary each day with things like, Crazy darts, Mini Golf, Arabic lessons and on a daily basis at 11:30am Aqua Aerobics & then the "Club Dance" by the side of the pool.

The evening entertainment started every night with the kids disco at around 8:30pm which all the kids loved and then went onto "Cash" bingo (you will be amazed at how Mou-Mou can read each number out in 6 different languages with such speed!!). After bingo (usually around 10:30pm) there would be further entertainment like s Singer, Strong Man, Balancing act, Beauty contest, Karaoke etc. I know this maybe isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it kept us amused most evenings.

There are 3 or 4 places to eat on the hotel site, Beach snack bar, Morish Cafe, main dining rooms etc, all of which do excellent food and very cheap. We mainly ate in the snack bars for lunch and would pay around 15 dinars for the meal and drinks for the 3 of us (about

This is our 4th time back to the Hotel Salem, and we all still enjoyed ourselves and had a great time, like the other times.

The hotel is situated in a perfect location. At the top of the road is the medina city centre where you can buy anything and everything, all at a low price!

Then about 15 minutes away by taxi or tuc-tuc whichever you prefer, is the Sousse Medina centre, you can buy presents, food, clothes, also at a very low cost, but you may have to barter the shop owners to lower the price even more, eventually they will! It has its own beach, snack bar, 4 swimming pools, shops, nightclub and hairdressers!

The hotel itself is spectacular! The staff are very friendly and will do anything for you, to make you feel welcome, the maids, porters, waitiers, everyone!
The entertainment staff do their job to a very high standard and make sure you are kept occupied both day and night.

During the day they have activities such as water-aerobics, which is a great laugh and waterpolo for the children and adults. at night they have a childrens disco, a game of bingo and live entertainment which varies each night. The 4entertainers, lead by the entertainment manager Mou-mou are Sou-sou, Radar, Sergie and Julia, there is also a young girl who does the childrens club through the day.

The food is ok, with different buffets everynight.

As always we will be definitely going back there next year!!

We loved this hotel. Public areas eg Dining room spotlessly clean, although the maid service for our room wasn't quite as good, which is why I have only given it a mark of 4. Had to ask for soap after our first cake was gone (after 1 week), forgot to leave us sheets one day (but night porters delivered us some in a matter of minutes), didn't dust our room in the 2 weeks we were there, although thoroughly cleaned bathrooms and washed floors daily.

The food was something else, huge huge selection, lovely cooking, buffet starter before waiter service for main/desert. You could become seriously overweight in this hotel!

Location - just perfect for us, about midway between Sousse and PEK centres. Huge gardens, direct access to clean beach with free seats and parasols.

Staff - really lovely and helpful, waiters outstanding, couldnt do enough to help us.

Something for everyone on the entertainment board, from aqua-aerobics, to darts, kids disco to Karaoke. The animaters worked so very hard, but didn't push you if you didn't want to join in.

Would definitely come back here again, although a 3 star hotel, the grounds were shared with the 4 star royal salem, so outwith the hotel buildings the environment and activites were 4 star.

We have just returned from a seven night break at the Hotel Salem.

We took a Thomson price-breaker package where the Hotel Salem was one of the three possible hotels that we would be allocated upon arrival.

At 0300hrs in the morning of our arrival the bedrooms were a little disappointing, but that was all that there was to have a grumble about.

The hotel is kept clinically clean, the marble floors in the public areas in particular. The hotel allows easy access to both Sousse and Port El Kantoui by either taxi & Tuk-Tuk (4 Dinars each way)or by the Noddy train (3.500 dinars return).

There is a bank at the end of the road that allows you to withdraw Dinars direct from your UK bank account, so no need to worry about running out of cash.

The food is plentiful and of a high standard and even the most picky of diners will find something to satisfy the pallet. All staff were really pleasant and willing to help you in any way possible, they also appreciate the tips at the end of your stay.

If you do not like getting involved in the on site entertainment, then tough luck. Even the must reluctant guests are up there strutting their stuff on the dancefloor, being used by the various guest entertainers in their acts (bloke lying on beds of nails and things when we were there!!!).

The highlight for us (in particular the missus)was the three entertainers that never stop all day.
MouMou (4yrs service) Bob(2 weeks service and a natural) and SouSou (4 weeks service and the missus' fave)all work really hard to make your holiday. A credit to the hotel.

Just make sure that anything that you value is stored in the safety deposit boxes as there was a spate of thefts from the ground floor rooms when we were there. Also the ground floor seems to have a problem with cockroaches, however the treatments to get rid of them started when we were there.

I can't say any bad words about the hotel.

The food was great - actually already missing the food and service. You could eat as much as you liked and usually ended up eating too much.

The location was also great, because the hotel is situated right by the sea and the hotel has a private beach. Also the chairs at the beach were free - which is not very common.

It wasn't also too far from the center of the city and from shopping centers.

Hotel staff were very professional and nice. Can't say anything bad about no-one. Special thanks to the hotel manager for making us feel very welcome.

Entertainment was probably the best thing in the hotel. Haven't had that great time for some time. There was always something to do - playing volleyball, throwing darts, playing minigolf or doing water aerobics.

If you are looking for a place to just relax and do some sports, this is the hotel to visit.

I would go back there any time. And wouldn't change this hotel for any other.

First time in Tunisia and although the first couple of days were a bit cold we had the indoor pool, which was lovely. The food in the hotel is excellent and plentiful but remember the buffet is only the starter, there is still the main course and desserts to follow. All staff were great, so many of them there to take care of you. Eamon and Moomoo were lovely and made sure we all had fun. An excellent choice for a winter break, will definately go again.

Hotel rooms are very basic. But the facilities are great.

The indoor pool is fab, but freezing.

The buffet at night time is a bit confusing - so don

This is our third time back to the hotel salem and each time we have all loved it. The hotel is situated in the centre of sousse and we did not have to move off the hotel grounds as everything is there for you. There is a childrens club, shops, nightclub, snackbar, 4 swimming pools, its own beach and plenty of activities to do during the day. You are entertained both day and night by the 4 entertainers Nu-Nu, Moo-Moo, La-La and the entertainment manager Racheed. The hotel is very clean and the food is gorgeous with a hot bar and a salad bar followed by a main meal and dessert. The hotel staff are very friendly and cant do enough for you.
