Hotel la Residence Hammamet

Great hotel and location Staff very friendly. Rooms spacious and comfortable cleaned daily. Breakfast is good. 4 th time staying at la residence and will return again. Highly recommend. Area is near beach and castle . Many restraunts nearby

I stayed here in August 2023. On entry to the hotel the first impression was a classical, well aged building.and furnishings.. the stains on the seats were for sure well aged. The smell was also authentic, I thought there was a dead cat or bird within the sofa. The check.in process was friendly and quick and we were given an old school metal key with huge brass keyring. We were escorted to the rooms by an older gentleman who helped us with our bags and demonstrated the amenities, there was Aircon and it was functional. The opinion of the establishment quickly reduced when the stairs were used.. there we found a scaffold fitted to the building with 8mm steel wire protruding into the walkway. Children would be injured very quickly. Once settled we went to bar.. the bar had a smell which was similar to the dead cat smell in reception but it was more like a mixture of urine and cigarettes. The prices are reasonable in the bar. So one night at 9pm I was walking to my room and saw a pool of vomit on the hall by my room... I walked past it hoping someone would report it and have it cleaned... it was still there at 06.15 the following morning when I reported it to reception; I was told that the cleaners start at 07.00🤣 The morning shower was not correct temperature for a hot water system to remain safe for human use, in Europe we would have failed the compliance check for legionella. The hot water temp.was between 30 and 36 degrees. The shower curtain had some serious stories to tell, and I woidl say it also had its own bioculture. The toilet in my room would flush clean, but then turn brown... it must have had some back flow issues, the smell of my room was unreal... Like troopers we carried on and savoured the experience, eating out in glorious local restaurants and working during the day. One night I noticed how upset the plants looked in the reception, perhaps they were mourning for the loss of their fav cat. Major incident must be reported because at 01.00 hotel staff entered my room, by mistake. I had a heated discussion with the staff who had opened room 218 instead of room 318, the guest in 318 had locked her key in the room.... the hotel staff did not follow professional standard when opening rooms at night. The incompetence and unprofessionalism forced me to ask my boss to rebook, and I left! I add a few photos, the sofa is not wet, it is stained, like the pillows and bead sheets... Being a ginger it was alarming to find black public hair on the bath edge 3 days into the trip.

Avoid this place which is difficult to name a hotel. Dirty and smelling. The food was no so bad but the choice was extremely limited. Awful service. The receptionist is extremely rude and refused even to say his name. The air conditioning didn't work properly when the heat outside was above 40 degrees. The hotel has no private beach. There is a small space in the public beach for no more than 10 of its guests.

Stayed in this hotel in June 2022, I was a little disappointed as the pictures seem to show it has having a beach which is in fact the public beach that you need to cross the road, the air con is a little noisy at night, staff do try their best and are friendly, remember this is a budget 3 star hotel in a great location, locals very friendly, has a bar open to early hours next door, personally I always travel bed & breakfast so I can enjoy the great local food which is very god value and fresh, would I stay again here, yes if I need a cheap base to stay is excellent value. My only complaint would be please resolve the noise issues in the room.

This is the worst hotel the room was so small and so deity so to be serious I have never seen a mesirable hotel like this one the pool is so small and its lack to cleaning. also, in the room the air conditioner is making noise that does not allow you to sleep. the beach is very small that is not enough for many people so the only good thing in this hotel is its location .

Worst hotel in my life ever I found this hotel so miserable Except the rooms and the beach that were quite ok , the food at the restaurant was so little regarding the choice .. light not so good inside .. The toilets near the reception were smelling so disgusting Pple were not at all respecting the sanitary measures and worst : pple who were coming  were only there to drink tunisian beer and were sometimes agressive and not polite Where the pool is lacked so much cleaning and sometimes the  beer bottles remained long before being cleaned up. Really I will never recommend this hotel that I will better call desert hotel!!!
