El Mouradi Gammarth

8/10 Good
"The hotel is clean, and overall the stay was okay, but there were several issues: ​Limited Amenities: Water bottles were provided only on the first day, and the bathroom had nothing available except soap and towls. ​Air Conditioning Issue: The AC unit was very loud and noisy. We reported it to reception, and a technician came to inspect it, but the problem was never resolved. ​"
