krisek's travel recommendations

The Phenix de Mahdia was a relatively well appointed hotel that paid attention to detail with regard to the decor. Rooms were clean, and the double rooms had giant super king size beds. The bathrooms were modern and clean. The toiletries were provided. There were phones, small refrigerators, tv sets, and spacious wardrobes. The beds were comfortable, had two bedside cabinets, and the sheets were crispy clean. Single rooms were TND70 (€35) and the doubles were twice that. The rooftop bar with swimming pool was disused. The water in the pool was green and the pool was infested by seagulls, which were very reluctant to leave. The downstairs bar and lobby were terrible! The hotel seemed to allow locals to use the venue for business meetings. And they smoked thousands of cigarettes! The air in the lobby was positively grey. Such a shame, because the lobby boasted nicely comfortable armchairs and sofas.
