Overview of the offer
Tunisia is a highly touristic country, so the range of accommodation is vast, generally offering good value and lower rates than in Europe, even though prices logically rise (sharply) in season. You’ll find campsites, guesthouses, all kinds of hotels—including all-inclusive options—as well as guesthouses. It’s often possible to negotiate room prices, especially if you stay for several nights or outside peak season.
Hotels
The full range of hotels is available, catering to all tastes and budgets, including the highest.
Budget
These are logically the cheapest but also the most basic (sometimes even squalid). You can find doubles for just under 10 €. In cities, these hotels are usually located in the medina. That said, unless you’re looking for the absolute cheapest option, it might be worth considering higher categories, which often offer better value for money.
Mid-range
The most interesting for backpackers. These are generally better-equipped local establishments. You can stay for around 20 € per night for two. Overall, they’re a good choice for those who don’t want to spend too much on accommodation while still enjoying decent comfort. The only downside: there aren’t always many options in highly frequented coastal areas, which tend to cater more to all-inclusive clientele.
High-end and All-inclusive
High-end hotels are found in major cities but especially in tourist zones (often on the outskirts) of beach resorts. Most remain affordable as all-inclusive packages, but prices skyrocket if you only book one or two nights, particularly in season.
Youth Hostels
There are several youth hostels in the country, offering dorm beds for generally less than 5 € per night (private rooms are often available too). Note that there are two categories: those affiliated with the International Federation and the others, "Youth Houses," run by the Tunisian government. The former are by far the best and most pleasant.
Camping
Camping as it’s known in Europe isn’t very common in Tunisia. Campsites are few, often basic, and primarily designed for campervans. Expect to pay 3 € or 4 € per person. Alternatively, you can ask a landowner for permission to camp on their property. However, given the affordable accommodation rates in the country, camping isn’t necessarily the best value for money, except for those traveling with their own campervan.
