              Excellent position however near taxi and ferry terminal so a bit noisy, however transport on your doorstep. Rooms very clean, towels, soap, shampoo provided. Breakfast very basic but many food options down the road. Night food market walking distance from hotel. Also you don't have to book online for stone town tours, locals are available outside hotel area at fraction of the price. Good stay highly recommend golden tulip

              Very well maintained property with wonderful outdoor pool. The staff is very very co-operative. Housekeeping is the best.

Can't forget to mention Ms Habiba and Ms Zawadi(restaurant) who were so very kind to help going out of the way. Thanks Team Golden Tulip for making our stay so very comfortable.

              “2 Nights in Stone Town”

              We enjoyed staying at Golden Tulip Hotel Stone Town. The double room was comfortable enough (the mattress could be better) and had air conditioning, which is welcome in hot and humid Zanzibar. The hotel itself is pleasant, with nice art lining the walls and a warm and welcoming entrance. They arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport for $20, which was convenient, but also you might be able to get a cheaper price through a tertiary company. Breakfast on the roof was a good addition with lots of options and we would recommend purchasing this with your room stay. It was very close to the port and sea front. Overall, we would stay again for a couple of nights.

              I spent one month at the Golden Tulip and had a very happy and enjoyable stay. The hotel's location is convenient for the main attractions, all of which are within a short walking distance. The hotel itself, has a calm and tranquil feel to it and is well-maintained. My room on the third floor was quiet, cosy and comfortable and cleaned to a very high standard. The food in the rooftop restaurant is of the highest quality and the menu is extensive. The staff in all departments are superb and are very pleasant, friendly and helpful at all times.

              “Dangerous Fittings, Blocked Drains, and 3 minutes of Hot Water”

              Absolutely 'shocking'room! Read on to see why that could mean more than one thing... For starters, the 15 litre water heater gives approx. 3 minutes of shower time before water goes freezing cold - then you'll have to wait 30-40 mins for it to heat up again, for the next person to be able to shower. The Drain in the shower overflows after a few seconds, and the entire area becomes a swamp! Toilet was loose, and not fixed to the floor. Bathroom had a 230v plug socket right next to the sink, which is obviously highly dangerous, and potentially 'shocking'! Breakfast is laughable! Supposed to start at 0730h, but you'll be lucky to see anyone until around 0800h when they'll start bringing out some stale bread and warm fruit. The chef will turn up shortly afterwards and start frying eggs to order. Hotel is completely dry - doesn't serve any alcohol. Maybe that's a plus point for some, but it's certainly not made clear before booking. Pool is tiny, unclean, and cold. Sunloungers have all seen better days. To top it off and to take the award for the worst hotel we stayed in while in Zanzibar for 2 weeks, their laundry bleached my shirt and ruined it. Obviously their T&Cs say they'll only compensate with a few peanuts! Only plus side of this hotel, was most of the staff were friendly. Location is also pretty good. Overall, I'd never be able to recommend this hotel, nor would I ever stay there again.
