This is quite a nice hotel that is on the outskirts of the nicest areas in Stone Town. The swimming pool is very nice as well as the roof top area that offers breakfast

I landed at Golden Tulip because Trip.com messed up my booking elsewhere, and I only found out about it at the last minute. The location is right by the port, on a side of town that feels quite sketchy. However, Stone Town is small and safe, so it didn’t matter too much. The rooms are nice enough. They have everything you need. People are friendly all over Zanzibar, and at the Golden Tulip no less. The pool is lovely, and service is okay. Sometimes I had to ask more than once, phone down because my towel had disappeared, or guide them through my own bill. The restaurant is pretty bad. I’m not a particularly fussy eater, but don’t feel the need to eat bad food. I ordered three tester dishes on my first day, and didn’t finish any. Another traveler had a similar experience. Breakfast is okay. There is fruit, yoghurt, pastries, omelettes on request, toast, cereal sometimes, and a variety of hot dishes. Nobody seems to notice when the table has no cutlery or when the coffee, milk or a given hot dish runs out. Most days, I found the cereal (if they had it), fruit, and at least one hot dish edible.

The Golden tulip Hotel and Zanzibar in general was an amazing experience. We stayed at the Golden Tulip Hotel for a few days in our Zanzibar vacation n the staff there are warm hearted, the rooms are clean and the hotel has beautiful views from the roof top restaurant whose food is also very tasty with a wide variety to choose from. One of my greatest highlights was meeting the Hotel manager Mr. Hasham who was also very welcoming and spoke highly of Zambia and it’s people and how much he enjoyed staying and working from Zambia in the 3yrs he worked in Zambia prior to his relocation to Zanzibar citing that Zambia is indeed his second home. Stone town generally is a beautiful place, the streets are windy and refreshing, it's well known for its beautiful doors, and the houses built out of stone and sand.. The streets of stone town are full of art and beautifully crafted bags and clothes it's a UNESCO heritage with beautiful history. You can visit the forodhoni food market and see the museum.. You can visit prison Island and Nakupenda also known as vanishing Island.. If you are planning a trip to Zanzibar don't forget to visit stone town and enjoy your stay st Golden tulip hotel. Ujambo is a famous word on the streets of stone town so don't forget to say it the kids enjoy..
Response from Property: Dear Miss Kombo, Muli Bwanji ! Warm greetings and sincere gratitude for your gracious review of Golden Tulip Hotel in Zanzibar. I am truly honored to have left a positive impression on your visit. It was a pleasure meeting you sharing my experiences in Zambia and connecting over the warmth of its people. I am delighted that our staff's warm-hearted hospitality resonated with you, and your appreciation of the cleanliness and culinary offerings, especially at our rooftop restaurant, fills us with joy. Your exploration of Stone Town's unique charm and the UNESCO heritage it holds is truly commendable. Your thoughtful recommendations for fellow travelers are invaluable, and we eagerly anticipate the pleasure of hosting you again for another memorable Zanzibar experience. Asante sana & Zikomo !

Nestled atop Golden Tulip Stone town, the rooftop restaurant Curry House offers panoramic views that enchant. However, the culinary journey left much to be desired.... Despite the warm welcome, the Indian fare fell short. The menu, though promising, lacked variety, missing several quintessential dishes. Disappointingly, the pani puri arrived without its signature pani, and when queried, we were told it's served that way—an unexpected deviation. The chutneys were nice! Service, while not unpleasant, bordered on average, failing to match the grandeur of the setting. However, the attentive staff did contribute positively to the ambiance. Ultimately, it was the unparalleled vistas that stole the show, casting a spellbinding charm over the entire experience. With improvements in menu diversity and culinary execution, this rooftop gem could truly shine.

Initially I was disappointed with the location so near the port and felt cheated that breakfast was not included. For the price range I consider it should have been included. I came round to it though, the rooms were just so cool in the old style building, no Aircon required, the bedding was crisp and beautiful, the outside pool area was generally quiet and relaxing. Could do with some shade though. Or some chairs in the garden in the shade. Nice walk distance to the central along the seafront. The restaurant food was always delicious and good value for money. It is also a nice relaxed area. All the staff very helpful efficient and friendly. Started off not liking it but it turned me around. Thank you I enjoyed my stay.

I spent ten nights in this hotel in mid January. All the staff were extremely polite. The rooms were cleaned everyday. The location of this hotel is very close by to the beach and a lot of restaurants are waking distance. The food at the hotel was very good and breakfast had a lot of variety.

We stayed here for 4 nights and had 2 separate rooms. The worst experience from start to the end of our stay. Firstly, there were no hand towels or hand soap in both rooms and we only had one bath towel in each room. After several requests we finally got the towels but still no hand soap until the next day after we’d complained to our travel agent. Second night, there was a leak from the air conditioning unit right above our son’s bed which was reported. Unfortunately this was not repaired & our son had to share the bed with our daughter. Day 3 our bath towels were taken from both rooms but these were not replaced. We asked housekeeping to give us towels to no avail. We called reception to get the towels and still nothing . In the end we spoke to our travel agent to help which they did & the “manager“ came to our room but with beach towels by which time our daughter & I had already had a shower & used the hand towels to dry ourselves since we couldn’t wait as we were meeting family. The duvet in our children’s room was taken & not replaced until we complained. During the checkout, we were charged for water bottles from the restaurant & we asked for the bill. We were advised that the bill would be sent to our travel agent which we found to be strange. Eventually after trying to speak to the “manager, Ravindra Mishra)”we managed to get the bill. For children’s room, they had put in another single bed when they could have just separated the two single beds which were already in the room. The safe in our room did not work even after the technician tried to fix it. We were then given another safe which also did not work so we were left without a safe. Also, the duvet we had was not big enough for a double bed. Breakfast choice is limited. At checkout when complained to Mr Mishra about our entire stay he did not know what to say.
