Wonderful overnight stay for the start of our safari. Staff and facilities were delightful. Ambiance was warm and welcoming. Our dinner and breakfast buffet were great. We had a short but very pleasant stay. Would definitely come again.

Well located hotel central to Arusha
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

Great Customer Service
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.

Just a quick stay over from cross-country travel before flying out, but very nice property, very attentive staff and very professional hotel manager. Rooms were big, bright, clean well appointed and lovely. Also, very nice bar area, restaurant, pool area and cute gift shop. Also, nice and quiet for a good night's sleep!
