Stayed before, came back but a little disappointed. Pool was not working. Told it would be but never was. Ice machine broken and water was not put in rooms daily as advised. Shame. Nice location though.

Overall decent property, beware the pool is on the rooftop of another hotel around the corner to which we have access. Pretty good budget option if your into that sort of thing.

Great staff, location…everything!

We loved the Penguin; the staff were really helpful and kind. The location on beach front with nothing but the park and the palms in front, 2mins walk to the sea, in the middle of the lively Art Deco area and a block from a Walgreens for water and other forgotten bits is absolutely perfect. Breakfast is really good with hot and cold options and again, lovely staff doing all they can to help. There were always loungers at the pool, which could do with a better filter as it wasn’t that clean sadly. Our room was spotless and had two queens which were extremely comfortable, the wardrobe area kept out stuff out of the way which was perfect and the shower was a great pressure. I would say a few hooks around the place to hang stuff would be brilliant as no room to hang 3 towels when wet. I think it would be nicer to have frosted glass in the main room window as having the blind down all the time was a bit miserable, but saying that, we were only in the room for changing and sleeping and packing. If you are staying for more than a few nights, with 3 or 4, I would say to get a bigger room. All in all, we loved everything about the Penguin and no reason to go anywhere else if we return to Miami. Thank you x
