Our stay of 3 nights was fun and super comfortable. The location is close to the city centre and has a relatively safe neighbourhood. The staff was helpful and the rooms were neat & clean The overall dining experience was fantastic. The entire F & B staff including the Head chef ensured we ate adequately even though we are vegetarians!

Good place. Had this hotel booked through a travel company for my trip. Good rooms and staff. Management clearly cares a lot. Food was really good. Specifically, the Chef as of January 2023 was an Indian gentleman and his Indian food was truly fantastic (and my standards for that are pretty high).

A great place to stay in Arusha. We enjoyed two nights here before our amazing safari with Roy Safaris. Nice staff, excellent laundry service, great food, and a nice little gift shop with items from the local area.

The reception was good. The rooms are spacious and clean. The restaurant is okay, good Indian food, good breakfast, the F&B manager was very attentive and ensured all our needs were met, the chef came out to greet us and ensure we were happy with the food. I would recommend the Indian menu. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel manager was not very welcoming, did not bother to meet or talk to guests or find out about the stay even though her office was right next to the reception area.

We stayed here twice on our safari, first after almost a full day of air travel and then again at journey’s end. On both occasions, the African Tulip staff was uniformly friendly and helpful; it seemed there was nothing they were unwilling to do to make our visits the most pleasant possible. The public areas and our rooms were entirely first-rate in terms of the quality and condition. We would absolutely choose to stay here again should we return to Arusha. Highly recommended.

One night stay as part of a recent African safari. Room was ok, seemed a little outdated to me, but was spacious for one person. I was left with a negative feeling after being ripped out in paying for my beers at dinner in USD. I felt that they simply just kept the change as a tip without asking me. Food was pretty average, not really that good.
