A couple of years ago this was not a great place to stay but now the Golden Tulip is much improved. The room was great (it helped to be put into one of the suites) and the staff were very friendly, from the reception through to all the other parts of the hotel. There is still the odd eccentricity but... More

Returning from safari and 4 days relaxing at The Fumba Beach Lodge (also 5*) on Zanzibar, we chose the Golden Tulip for its VERY attractive rate ($104.50 - prepaid), description and photos... We were not disappointed!!! The facility is located about 4-1/2 mile from City Center in Dar es Salaam's best neighborhood on Toure Road just past the many foreign... More

Apparently under new management, and not good news. This place used to be a Lonely Plannet-recommended place to go for a swim, looking out over the bay; use of the pool used to cost 5000 shillings for a child, 10000 for an adult. "New management" has put it up to US$15 each; and even if you only want to supervise... More

This is rated a 3 star hotel and for the price you get no more than 3 star service. Our superior room was clean and functional although next to the next door resturant we were only the 3rd floor. Only saw a single mosquito in the room all week and no bites, there are no nets, the room was fumigated... More

The service from the reception Especially the night staff was an eye opener.The night Manager was was from another planet, rude and some times abusive, He verbally attacked us and members of our Friends without a single reason. The general Manager laughed off our complain telling us to take our business some where else, Which we gladly did and didn't... More
