In the centre of Dar Es Salaam, The Golden Tulip Hotel has 55 rooms spread over 20 floors, each with modern decor, comfortable beds, a flatscreen TV, air-conditioning, coffee and tea facilities and free Wi-Fi. All rooms look out over the city, the ocean or the harbour, and a few even have their own jacuzzi. If you feel like something to eat, head to the Citrus Lounge on the ground floor or to the Fire Restaurant on the 20th floor for good food with a view. From the hotel it is easy to explore the city on foot, with Kariakoo, the fish market, the Indian street with its temples and the National Museum – all just a few minutes’ walk away.
