1 night stay in golden tulip Headington Ruwi
Nice comfortable room. We stayed only for 1 night. We did a very late night check in. Staff was courteous and offered us pineapple juice at 2am also! Very helpful and took our bags to our room. Parking available in the basement. Room is neat and comfy with all amenities. Staff also helped us with directions to nearby supermarket.

Average hotel
Hi, its good hotel but considering 4* star level quality is missing. Entrance lobby is fantastic bit tiny rooms & small toilets no space to move.
The price they offer is low in comparison, therefore it is preferred by business travellers who stay in heart of city.

This hotel is a fabulous place! Newer property with good amenities at a great price point. The staff were incredibly helpful, welcoming, and diligent. If you are without a car it’s just blocks from the Ruwi bus station that has city routes and a bus to the airport. I stayed here sort of by accident when I found my prebooked hotel was under renovations. I relocated to the Golden Tulip as a result and I couldn’t have been happier with my accommodations!

The entrance to the hotel needed to be a bit more wide enough to facilitate short term waiting by pick up cars.
