The property is beautiful and the staff are very attentive. I would highly recommend The African Tulip Hotel. It is excellent value for the money.

Everything was perfect! Cleanness, staff, breakfast.

Spacious and very clean. We were upgraded to a suite for our family (2A2K) free of charge, which was nice. Very nice pool and deck. Continental breakfast was excellent.

Excellent choice for our Arusha stay!

Clean, airy and caring staff. Great restaurant, reasonably priced.

We stayed at The African Tulip Hotel for 2 nights before taking a safari. We arrived late in the evening and the front desk was staffed and a bellman available to take our bags to our room. I travel with my own breakfast food and requested that a glass of milk be sent to my room at 6:00 am. At 6:00 am on the dot, there was a knock at the door. Our room was safari themed, was spacious and clean and even had universal outlets for our electronic devices. The water is not safe to drink (or anywhere else in Tanzania) but is safe to brush your teeth...but we did not take that risk. The hotel provided ample bottles of water. They have a nice bar and restaurant. We had Indian food which was very, very good. The staff...from the manager on down to the bellman are customer focused and are there to please. The hotel is gated and has a security guard at the entrance. The pool is on the small side but we did not go to Tanzania to swim so it was fine for us. I would definitely stay there again should our travels take us back to Arusha.

Fabulous staff. Nice restaurant. Room was lovely. There isn’t anything I didn’t like about this hotel.

Food, service and accommodations were all excellent. Wish it was in a better part of town, but it was well-secured and safe.

If you like to sleep on concrete, and pay top dollar for the experience, then this is the hotel for you!I have travelled and stayed in all manner of accomodation, this was clean, rooms airconditioned, but the bed was the WORST I have EVER slept in. It was so bad that for our remaining two nights, I relocated to the 'day bed' to sleep. And I thought the beds in SE Asia were hard..... they are positively plush in comparison. Thankfully this was the only hotel we came across during our travels around Tanzania that had such beds. We arrived late following an extremely long flight and a three hour wait for bags that didn't make the flight and were told by the receptionist that the dining room was open. We put our hand lughage into our room, and went straight down. We were not offered any menus, just that the waiter would bring soup and then we could help ourselves to the buffet that I suspect had seen better days. There were some crumbs left on the 'dessert' table, and not a great deal else. They still had the Christmas lights up, which would have been nice, had they not been accompanied by a tacky tune you'd expect from a child's toy constantly repeating. It wasn't until the following day that we discovered there was a cheaper, simple menu we could have ordered from. The breakfast was very good, so no complaints there. The staff were very nice, but we watched the interactions with them and the manager, and we gathered from bloody language, tone etc that he wasn't particular

Fantastic boutique hotel in the heart of Arusha. The staff are service focused and food at the restaurant was delicious.

Amazing place to stay at. The staff members went above and beyond to make sure the stay was comfortable. The food here is pretty tasty as well.

Ended a 3 week trip here and it was really fantastic! I love the safari and Kilimanjaro climbing rents, but this was the perfect way to ease back into regular life. They arranged an airport shuttle, have great balconies for hanging out, and very comfortable rooms! Totally recommend the African Tulip.

Everything was five star - staff, service, food and rooms. They let me stay past checkout at no extra charge, as my ride to the airport wasnt until 2pm.

A beautiful hotel with very accommodating staff. A wonderful place to stay following a long safari. In the heart of Arusha, great to access safaris, post office etc. Dinner was delicious at the Baobab restaurant, but the free breakfast was less than average.

We had a very relaxing stay here, staff were very helpful. Room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Dining room had excellent buffet dinner which we really enjoyed. Would recommend it highly.

Despite a problem with our understanding that we would have a full-sized bed rather than a cot in our room for our teenager, the problem was eventually resolved to our satisfaction. The late evening front desk staff spoke almost no English, but our driver from the airport was able to translate a bit of the issue, though I'm sure he couldn't comprehend the problem. We were all exhausted from our flight from Canada, so it was a bit of a downer having to deal with the issue for 30 min upon our arrival. On reflection, the hotel was technically correct regarding giving us a cot, but I had sent the hotel 2 emails prior to our arrival that we wanted a regular bed for our tall, very grown up teen. They'd written back that would be fine. The hotel has character - lovely wooden floors, plants, a sense of place, comfortable beds and an attractive restaurant - a nice intro to Tanzania. We ordered room service that night - expensive, particularly a bunch of saran wrapped very stale chips and some unappetizing soup. But that's from the perspective of exhausted travellers who were dying for a beer n simple sandwich at 11pm. Most importantly, we all had a very comfortable first night in Tanzania and the lounge area was a very nice spot to meet with our safari company rep the following morning to discuss our safari beginning that day.

It is a lovely hotel, clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet is also great.

Staff are lovely and very helpful. Room was large and clean. Disappointed there was no bath after 7 days on safari. Restaurant good food at reasonable prices. Pool lovely.

We used the hotel before and after our Kili climb. The staff could not have been more helpful with storing baggage and valuables, making ad hoc calls to our tour company etc. The hotel is very clean, comfortable and has a good restaurant

The African Tulip hotel is a great and luxurious place to stay in Arusha, a real treasure. Decorations both inside and outside in the garden are beautiful. Our room was very spacious and had a wonderful bathroom with tub. Great indian food in the restaurant. Only thing that bothered me were the charges for internet and a 4% additional charge on any bill paid by credit card.

Accommodating and clean, we had a comfortable stay at the African .

The African Tulip is a beautiful hotel with friendly staff providing great customer service. Barclays ATM is located just down the street. Hotel is within walking distance to Arusha city center.

This hotel was a pleasure to stay in, within walking distance to Arusha city. No traffic noise though!! Room was spacious and clean, bed comfy !!

friendly helpful staff, great atmosphere, would highly recommend. I hope to go back in future

A small, tidy and refined hotel, the staffs are very friendly. The hotel is historic but well keeped. Very quite environment, and wonderful serivce.

Very nice small hotel in Arusha with large well-appointed room and nice public area and bar. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was only OK.

Very nice quiet place just outside of main hub-bub of Arusha, which is otherwise noisy and dirty.
