    parking nightmare
    lack of upgrades

    i almost thought this place could be nice, but the parking was an absolute nightmare and nobody acted like they even cared. to top it off, i was really hoping for an upgrade but got nothing—definitley not the royal treatment i expected. i woudl ve been happy, but just couldn’t.

    helpful staff
    inviting outdoor pool
    superb meals
    overwhelming parking

    The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, ensuring our stay was pleasant. The laundry service was a lifesaver, and the outdoor pool was inviting, offering a great spot to unwind after long days of exploring. The restaurant's meals were superb, particularly the breakfast, which was one of the best I had during my travels in East Africa!

    However, the parking could be a bit overwhelming at times.

    impressive breakfast
    powerful shower
    convenient amenities
    chaotic parking
    limited entertainment

    The African Tulip offered a delightful stay in Arusha. My room was spacious, boasting a powerful shower, air conditioning, and a hot and cold water filter, which I found incredibly convenient. The breakfast spread was impressive, featuring fresh-made omelettes and local dishes, a great start to my day. I also enjoyed the cozy bar area and the attentive service from the staff, who even prepared a special meal for my dietary needs. Initially, I faced a bit of a hiccup with parking, which felt a bit chaotic but was manageable in the end. I would have appreciated some more evening entertainment options, especially for families. Overall, a lovely spot to rejuvenate before or after a safari.

    concierge service
    outdoor pool
    parking issue

    We had an awesome stay where the concierge helped us squeeze in an afternoon drive before dinner, which was an unexpected treat. The outdoor pool and quiet garden area were perfect for relaxing after a long day. A small hiccup with parking wasn’t a big deal. I’d recommend arriving early for a smoother experience! 😊

    comfortable bed

    Just an excellent fit for an overnight stopping in Arusha with value for price. The bed was super comfy, truly one of the best I’ve slept in during my trip. Arrive early to enjoy the breakfast buffet, it's really worth it.
