Understanding that were in Tanzania, if you need a quiet, clean place to stay WITH hot water, I can recommend this hotel. It is an enclave within a market and, for westerners, it may be a little daunting. The staff was super nice, especially Hajida, Emmanuel and Joseph. That said, the restaurant sucks! The pizza was soggy and we had to send it back to be cooked more. Another table ordered pizza, they sent it back and got pasta instead. I asked for a Mediterranean vegetable sandwich as I’m vegetarian… it had chicken in it! As always, the staff was super nice.

Generally has a nice vibe and the staff are nice. Was able to store my bag there for a few days. I could hear people talking in both rooms I stayed in. The grounds are nice enough but just outside the gate is a rutted dirt road. Just a short drive off the highway. There's a money changing place and ATM at a nearby gas station.

We have Expedia Gold status. With Expedia Gold you qualify for room upgrades in some properties. When we checked into the Tulia Hotel we received a downgrade. The room was at the back of the hotel as be felt claustrophobic. It was in poor disrepair. It had no nightables. It was small with little room to move around the bed. We asked for another room and to the hotels credit they did give us another room but not until the next day. The new room was a huge improvement over the previous room. My issue is that we should not have had to ask to move. If you are looking at the Tulia Hotel be aware that there are no safes in the rooms. This is a huge inconvenience. You will need to bring your valuables with you on any excursions. We had several items go missing including 2 rings and headphones. Let me be clear that I am not saying these items disappeared at the Tulia Hotel, however they did disappear sometime between arriving at the Tulia Hotel and the second day of the next Hotel, Riu Jambo Zanzibar. I only pont this out so people are aware prior to booking with the Tulia as this is a important consideration. The area around the Tulia Hotel is not very nice. The hotel does have a decent restaurant with good food however. For the type of hotel it is I think it is overpriced. Overall I wouldn't recommend Tulia Hotel

The Tulia is an affordable version of the big tourist resorts we used while on safari. We stayed there a total of 5 nights before and after our safari, used their airport transport (safe and efficient), ate many meals in their restaurant, and enjoyed the relaxing, shady and green property. Serves a lot of Americans, but also lots of other international guests, good company to compare travel notes. Staff is warm, friendly, eager to meet individual needs, and speaks plenty of good English,

I have stayed at the Tulia Boutique Hotel and Spa several times and always return because I like the ambiance and friendliness of the staff. This is a great place to stay and the onsite restaurant is good with a variety of menu choices.
