Just a basic airport hotel. Check in process took a long time, even though we arrived well after the noted check-in time. I had also pre-booked an airport shuttle through the hotel, but they had no record of it the next morning so we had to pay for a private taxi.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Chose the hotel for proximity to airport since I had a 3am flight. (Walkable distance but not in the middle of the night) Their charge for the 3min drive was exorbitant, so I arranged on my own.

Disappointment
Outlets were not working when we came in the room the first time. Had to call maintenance to get them working. Coffee pot in the morning was not working either. Had to call the desk and get the instruction to find us switch all the wind back to turn on the outlet. Why not prepare the room for guest to arrive when it’s ready

I stayed in the hotel for one night before leaving Zanzibar, If you are looking for a 5 star hotel experience, with a spa, nice restaurant, safety, and quiet. Also a 5 min walk to the airport (or shuttle) This place is great! You can always take tours from here, and return to a nice cozy feeling of home. But if you're looking to wake up in stone town or the beach, this is not that place. That being said, the staff is 10/10, amenities are 10/10, the restaurant and breakfast are fantastic. This is a perfect place to stay if you have kids, or are somewhat skeptical of the island (you shouldn't be, it's safe). Or if you just want a luxury experience! Whenever I come to Zanzibar, I will always make it a point to stay here for my first night, or on my last night!

We really really enjoyed our stay at the Golden Tulip. We arrived late night into Zanzibar and this hotel was the perfect accommodation. The hotel provided a shuttle from airport which is walkable but a bit much with luggage and late at night. We arrived to a warm greeting and reception from the front desk staff and restaurant. The following day, the hotel arranged a driver for us to see Stone Town while we stored our luggage after checkout. We only stayed a night but will return again when we come back. Be sure to tip everyone you meet, they are most gracious and really set the tone for our entire trip in Tanzania.

The property is lovely and feels very safe. The staff was very kind and helpful once we arrived. Getting transportation from the airport when we arrived much later than planned was a challenge, so we had to take a taxi. No hot water in the shower unfortunately.

On the Airport doorstep.
The Hotel is on the doorstep of the airport so is great if you have an early flight. Check-in was friendly but lengthy for an airport hotel. The guys slouching over the Xray at entrance need to be help with bags - their attitude was lazy and unwelcoming and let the entire team down. Rooms were good and clean. Avoid Room 104 (I changed) as its above the extractor vent and had a continuous droning sound that may disturb you too. Not a problem to change rooms.
