I arrived last night around midnight, and there were indeed buses to hotels. The bus to my hotel was only once an hour, so I took a taxi for 10 dinars - none of the taxi drivers I asked would use their meter from the airport, otherwise it would have been closer to 6 dinars.
I am staying at the Golf Royal Hotel in Central Tunis. It was labeled at 3-star but it barely qualifies as a 1-star. There appears to be no Internet access at the hotel, even though it's an official WSIS hotel. I asked two staff members about it and they didnt seem to know anything about it.
>From the hotel this morning, there was supposed to be a bus at 10:20 but it never came, so I took a taxi instead to the badging center. I was also told at the hotel that there would be only two buses per morning rather than an hourly service - they did not explain why that was the case.
Badging was very quick - less than 10 minutes from start to finish. I'm using one of the PCs set up here, and other people are using wifi.
