Delicious Meals

The food at Tulia was simply amazing! I was particularly impressed with the variety on the a la carte menu, which often provided me with a good dinner for just £15. The flavors truly brought a taste of Tanzania to my experience, making each meal nice.

Perfect Poolside Relaxation

Although I didn't get to use the pool because of the cool weather, I really enjoyed lounging by it on the comfortable sun loungers. It was a great place to unwind after a long day, and I appreciated the tranquility of the area.

Spacious Accommodations

My room was quite spacious and provided a comfortable retreat after my long travels. Even though the lighting was a bit dim, I found the room very functional, and it was perfect for my needs during the trip.

Fun Outdoor Area

I loved the grassy area where I played football with my son. It really added to our family experience and allowed us to enjoy some outdoor fun before our safari adventure. The space was welcoming and well-kept.

We had a mixed experience at this hotel. While our initial rooms were quite outdated and not ideal for a family, our second night's stay was much better thanks to our guide's intervention, placing us in modern and spacious rooms. The meals could take a long time, and service wasn't the quickest, leading to some frustrations, especially with our young child. Breakfast was alright, but the wait was sometimes inconvenient. Overall, it was reasonably priced, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

Rooms

7.0

The first set of rooms we stayed in felt old and were not very family-friendly, but the second set in the main building was spacious and clean, equipped with modern amenities.

Service

6.0

The service during our stay was hit or miss. While housekeeping was exceptional, the meal service could be quite slow and the front desk staff was a little inconsistent in addressing our needs.

Location

5.0

The hotel's location isn't ideal as it's a bit of a walk to the central market and other attractions, making it necessary to rely on transportation.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast buffet was decent, but meals in the evening often had very long waits. It would be more convenient if all meals were offered as buffets, as it took a while to get the service we needed.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. While the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the hotel itself fell short of what I expected from a boutique experience. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms were commendable, but there was a lack of attention to detail. Additionally, the breakfast was a highlight, but again, it set high expectations that weren’t consistently met throughout my stay.

Tulia is a delightful retreat that offered my family a soothing escape after our travels. The staff made us feel right at home, and we thoroughly enjoyed the amazing food. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there were a few minor issues related to amenities and inconsistencies in service. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially for pre- or post-safari accommodations.

This hotel is conveniently located off the main highway, making it easy to access safari companies and local attractions. The staff here are exceptional and truly make the experience memorable. Although the rooms could use some maintenance and the dining options were quite basic, the overall stay was quite pleasant and felt safe, especially as we were exploring the vibrant local community around the hotel.

Rooms
