Quick stay in central Stone Town

Great location for central Stone Town, helpful & friendly staff, very clean. Issues: high AC noise & problem with using the remote control to get temp settings right; TV set to subscription channels as default - no obvious free channels; no water in room on arrival, breakfast buffet not close to being laid out at 07:30 open; no bar

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.

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.
