Good place for the price
Good place to stay in Stone town. About 10 min walk from "the main events". Felt safe and comfortable, good palace for the price, also the pool was nice. Did not try the restaurant at the top, but good food was close by as well. Would stay again

The Golden Tulip Hotel is ideally located for travelers seeking accessible accommodations while exploring the beauty of Zanzibar. Its convenient position allows easy access to nearby attractions and services, often without the need for transportation. I particularly appreciated the friendly and welcoming demeanor of both the hotel staff and the local community around the seaport. Accessing tour guides was effortless, which enhanced my experience. However, I would suggest considering upgrades to some beds, as the one in my room was slightly noisy. Overall, the hotel provides an excellent experience and is highly recommended.

Location great. Staff very supportive especially. I was on 3rd floor and above is 4th floor which has the dinning. From 4am a lot of noise furniture continuously moved to prepare for breakfast. Windows not cleaned and look dirty when you want to open.

AC was so loud in our room and making loud bangs all day and night. We could hear all the street noise non-stop and hotel noise (under construction/ renovation). The elevator was not working so keep that in mind if you have lots of luggages. Not peaceful/ restful if your room is facing the front but great location. Staff very friendly and nice!

Lovely service, comfortable beds, nice breakfast on beautiful terrace, fascinating neighborhood, nice pool and spa services, but most of all: the staff. Helpful, accommodating, and thoughtful. We were surprised with the area in front of the hotel, with the rough road and busy with parked cars, and a little dusty, but learned this is typical of the neighborhood, so no big deal. Super convenient to the ferry from Dar. Really nice experience.

The AC in the room didn’t work properly for 3 days. We called every night and every day to have it fixed and it never was. It kept turning off after 15 minutes. Hot water also very minimal.
