We stayed for one night as a transit to Serengeti booked by Easy Travel. We very much enjoyed our short stay here. The staff were courteous, excellent food added to that was an express laundry service at a reasonable price. African Tulip is a perfect stopover at Arusha and would highly recommend it.

We stayed at the African Tulip for the first time and were bringing a small group with us. The staff were ALL very nice indeed and couldn't have been more helpful. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The public area and pool were nice. The staff set up a table for us by the pool for dinner which was lovely. The food was very good. Although we were in the middle of Arusha it was quiet at night.

I had the opportunity to stay for two nights. Staff was very accommodating with my requests. I had laundry service which was brought back fresh,folded and quickly. Dined in their restaurant for a few meals and the food was bursting with different flavors. An amazing experience and great sleep.

After 24 hours of travel, The Tulip was a delight, rooms were large and very clean; but the staff is what makes it a wonderful experience. There was a problem created by our tour company about what day that we were to arrive. The staff assisted us in resolving the problem and provide us with refreshments as we waited to get checked it. The restaurant staff was also wonderful as well.

After a 24-hour trip from New York to Arusha, the African Tulip was the perfect place to relax and get ready for my upcoming safari. The staff was wonderful and greeted you the minute you walked through the door. The room was very comfortable and there was a great view of the hotel pool and the trees surrounding the grounds (in particular the Jacaranda trees were gorgeous). There is a television in the room, which was welcomed as it allowed me to watch an Arsenal match! There were many choices for breakfast, which is served in a beautifully decorated dining area. I was at the hotel for just one night, but I found it charming and welcoming. I would highly recommend it.

We stayed here for a total of 3 nights and had a great time. The location is in the city centre and relatively a safe neighbourhood. The staff is helpful and the rooms are clean. The breakfast spread was amazing and the chef made sure we had abundant options since we are all vegetarians!

We stayed here for one night before we began our safari and had a lovely time. The dinner and breakfast was well priced and very tasty and the room was spacious and clean. The building was also beautiful and very unique; the tree in the centre of the restaurant was a very nice touch. We had a bit of confusion regarding the bill but this was very quickly resolved. Would definitely recommend.

Beautifully appointed boutique hotel inspired by British colonial design. Staff was exceptionally friendly and competent. Food was delicious and the room elegant and spacious. It will be my first choice when we go back to Arusha! I just wish we could have stayed longer.
