Very nice hotel, clean and comfortable. The room is large, clean and comfortable with good bedding. The daily cleaning service is fast and efficient without any false notes and without forgetting to restock. The breakfast is very good in the form of a copious buffet.
The only downside is the lack of elevators. On the other hand, due to the heat, the cleanliness of the swimming pool leaves a little to be desired.

I've stayed for several nights in this hotel whilst on a business in Dar Es Salaam and my first impression upon arrival was really good. Unfortunately, this changed as the time passed. The staff is very kind and friendly and does the fantastic job in making one's stay as comfortable as possible. Nevertheless they cannot cover certain issues that are clearly visible.
1. Hotel is very outdated and desperately needs attention, rooms are old, furniture used and shabby. En suite bathrooms are overall in worse condition than rooms themselves.
2. Floor tiles and outdoor pool tiles are broken in numerous places, windows are old, roof in the main reception building (above the stairs leading
to first floor rooms) is leaking during rain.
2. Staff lacks training - they really need to be properly trained how to use coffee machines properly to deliver hot - not lukewarm coffee.
On the positive side - views are nice (sea view rooms) and breakfast (served from 06:00) is really great.
Overall acceptable, however only for one stay only and definitely does not deserve four stars.

The hotel has everything you need when considering the location and views from the room. The personnel are excellent at their jobs. The free breakfast was good and had many options. If the long overdue update to the property was made, then I would be one of the best places in the city. The furniture is outdated and lacking imagination. Also, a key is needed to open the door even though a card system appears to be available. Could be five stars.

My first ever stay here on May 2024 as i have been to other hotels in Dar but this hotel was referred to me by a friend and I'm happy to have not only stayed here for my business trip but also experience the opulence and luxury they offer at affordable rates.
Mr. Nilesh, the F&B (Food & Beverage) Manager, went out of his way to ensure my stay was as comfortable and restful after a tiring day at work with the best and various mouth watering food dishes with a variety to suit your taste buds. He is an all rounder making my stay as comfortable and contented as possible.
I would recommend this place to anyone who would want to unwind with breath taking views of the ocean with excellent service.

My trip to Tanzania was truly magical, and the Golden Tulip hotel added to the charm. The customer care was exceptional, with warm, attentive staff who made every moment feel special. The swimming pool was the best of those I visited, offering a serene retreat perfect for a romantic evening.
While the rooms were comfortable and beautifully appointed, with a wonderful bed and inviting ambiance, the doors could use some updating to match the overall elegance. Despite these minor quirks, the Golden Tulip provides a delightful and memorable stay. If you’re seeking a place where outstanding service and a captivating atmosphere come together, this hotel is an ideal choice.

When I arrived at this particular establishment-Golden Tulip by the beach, I informed them that I'd had recent bad experiences at other hotels regarding Noise and other guest causing sound disturbances. And Fu*** sure enough, two night's of my 3 night stay they had placed individuals right next to my room who consistently between 2-4 am drug, banged chairs across the room floor and played the tv loudly!! I'll never patronize them again.

The service was horrible. The waiter ripped us off. They quoted us one price that was less than the menu and then charged us higher than the menu. The views are nice but the fact that they are fine with you ripping you off doesn’t make the trip worthwhile.

Due to the conducive environment of Golden Tulip Hotel in Dar es Salaam with our nice seminar and supportive conference rooms also can give us so much fun and entertainment. From our regular stressed activities in our dairy life, we need to take a place out of our normal works in order to increase our thinking and concentrations in our objectives . We selected the Golden Tulip Hotel because we expected to have nice seminar with attractive environment and refreshments that what we received ,thank you so much to all team who facilitated that to happen.On behalf of my team I can appreciate that we had our breakfast ,lunch and dinner in a restaurant and it was really delicious. We took so many photos and wish to visit and to conduct again more seminar in your place because that was a fun time. It was very nice care moment and experienced to be here,Thank you very much again and again.

Because this is not part of my needs, I really don't know. Maybe the hotel may be able to help you.
At the busy periods, it can take almost an hour to reach this hotel from bus stand. But normally about 30 minutes.
I think you can use the gym but cannot be sure as we did not use it ourselves.
Pool opening hours are 7:00 am till 6:00 p.m. and we charge fix fee for non residents @ 20,000 tsh/-
