Thank you Miriam for your help with this booking. The room was great, with beautiful city view as requested. The lobby is a bit small and too busy, does not give relaxing vibes after a long day. Breakfast restaurant is wonderful, with nice views and breeze in the afternoon. The food was great too. All staff we met were warm and welcoming. FO, HK and Service. The male receptionist on Sunday morning shift when we checked out was very kind to us. Overall great stay, my only issue is space. Consider decluttering the public areas for great relaxation when one enters the hotel lobby from a long day.

Everyone was exceptional to me during my stay at the Golden Tulip. I was attending a conference and unfortunately came down with a bad case of food poisoning from a restaurant near the conference. The Manager and specifially Damien took very good care of me ensuring I had green tea, toast, and soup to help me in my recovery. They even helped me get some medication from a local pharmacy!!

Ok but a little tired

The service was excellent and the hotel is well situated but the building is very tired and room was in need of refurbishment. The fact the hotel doesn’t serve alcohol should be clearly indicated before booking.

Amazing check in experience! Staff was very responsive. Clean hotel, very spacious. My only issue was that I wasn’t a fan of the hard mattress. Also, there wasn’t any hot water per se. Other than that it’s locate close to the port and walkable area. The restaurant was great also.
