The Vincci Flora Park is an intimate budget hotel that is in a part of Hammamet that is less dominated by tourists but still within walking distance of the beach. There is a small spa and a large restaurant located within the hotel so there are ample activities to plan if you want to spend a day inside unwinding. The restaurant serves local and Mediterranean favourites but will cater to individual tastes and intolerances.
Colourful and quirky, the Sun Garden Hotel is a fun and vibrant budget accommodation. There is an all-inclusive option but the overall price is very affordable.

The Hotel Club President is recognized as one of the best budget hotels in Hammamet by Trip Advisor. There are eight room varieties to choose from when booking at this hotel, not a common aspect among affordable resorts. There are rooms that do have balconies that overlook the Mediterranean Sea that would rival those from luxury hotels. There is even entertainment programming available that is children friendly.
Family friendly
The majority of hotels in the Hammamet area of kid-friendly and happily accommodate families with children of all ages. Many of the hotels listed in other categories here would be appropriate for families but there are some that are specifically recognized for their service for those with little ones.

There are a series of three large swimming pools and activities that are kid-friendly throughout the days. There is also convenient beach access from the Club Med so there will be ample fun to be had. This hotel is an all-inclusive so the costs can be higher than the average family hotel stay.
The Iberostar chain of hotels has numerous resorts throughout Tunisia and they're all well-regarded for luxury. The Iberostar Belisaire and Chich Khan are popular with families. The Iberostar Belisaire is recognized by Trip Advisor® for being one of the best top-end in Hammamet. Despite its warranted place on the top-end section of this list, the Iberostar Belisaire goes out of its way to accommodate children. The staff entertains and caters to the guests' kids including special meals and performers.
The Iberostar Chich Khan is slightly smaller than its counterpart but just as family-friendly. Both of the resorts sit on a private stretch of beach and have a large series of pools. The children-friendly entertainment is not as well-rated at the Chich Khan but it will not disappoint. The décor of each hotel varies slightly. The Iberostar Chich Khan has more traditional Tunisian or Moorish style where the Belisaire is more Western in design. For photos that show off that you were in Hammamet, the Chich Khan may be the more appealing choice.
Hotel Le Sultan has a more sophisticated environment but a family hotel just the same. This sleek hotel is located right on the beach and has indoor and outdoor pools in addition. The indoor pool helps this hotel stand out and could be a welcomed reprieve from the heavy heat during a Tunisian summer.

There is also a zoo nearby which can be a fantastic way to keep your children excited and provide a break from beaches.

There are over 300 rooms on the sprawling grounds of the hotel, which are carefully manicured to feel like an oasis amidst the Tunisian desert. The Hotel Mediterranee has several swimming pools, including one that is indoors, and quick access to a local beach. Because of the carefully manicured lawns, this hotel feels very intimate and much smaller than expected.

Despite the chic accommodations, the hotel is staffed by approachable and knowledgeable employees that have earned a friendly and excellent reputation.
Set further off of the beach than many other luxury hotels, the Russelior Hotel & Spa is quieter than most. Because it is not directly located on a beach, the rates are generally more affordable, the hotel is quieter from having fewer guests without sacrificing top end details.

Boutique & B&Bs

The hotel has charming décor alongside a hotel bar, swimming pools, convenient beach access, a kitchenette available for each room and shuttle bus service to local attractions.
When choosing a boutique or small hotel in Hammamet, it can be hard to find a hotel option that is popular with English-speaking tourists. Many of the smaller hotels in the region are popular with French tourists so the staff is more likely to speak French than English. However, the Riu Marco Paulo is accommodating to English-speaking tourists. This small hotel has large rooms, a spacious swimming pool area and it is located just a short walk away from the shores of the Mediterranean. There is a bar inside the hotel so you won't have to leave to enjoy a cocktail or pint.
