Terrific staff, friendly service. Room was clean, provided everything I needed for overnight stay. Downtown is under so much construction (not the hotel’s fault); the area is congested and dirty. The restaurant FIRE on the 20th floor was pleasant, with good food at a reasonable price and a great view!

Amazing check in experience! Staff was very responsive. Clean hotel, very spacious. My only issue was that I wasn’t a fan of the hard mattress. Also, there wasn’t any hot water per se. Other than that it’s locate close to the port and walkable area. The restaurant was great also.

Everyone was exceptional to me during my stay at the Golden Tulip. I was attending a conference and unfortunately came down with a bad case of food poisoning from a restaurant near the conference. The Manager and specifially Damien took very good care of me ensuring I had green tea, toast, and soup to help me in my recovery. They even helped me get some medication from a local pharmacy!!

Ok but a little tired

The service was excellent and the hotel is well situated but the building is very tired and room was in need of refurbishment. The fact the hotel doesn’t serve alcohol should be clearly indicated before booking.
