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 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aimable Nov 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Aimable Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jared Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Jared Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Geir Arne Nov 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hi, good place, nice pool, great roof top terrasse.
