The Penguin Hotel – Miami Beach

This hotel was perfect. It's right on Ocean Drive and just a short walk from everything!! The beach is right outside the hote also. The service here was great as well. Very friendly staff.

I stayed here because it was a last minute deal and cheap. But you get what you pay for. Small Cheap Noise.

yes I do understand that we stepped back in time but the rooms needed much help. If you are selling the Bogie and Bacall experience than do so, otherwise update the bathrooms and sleeping areas and at least install a quiet air conditioner that is (not) behind a heavy drape, get a coffee pot in the room, and rearrange the furniture. Get rid of the red […] transparent bed side 1960's plastic box. We were not crazy about the car parking and the rates seemed high considering zero choices. The breakfast arrangements, meager. We walked to a neighbor the next day. The people were great, the service was prompt and courteous and the building was cool but behind the doors, come on. We planed this for a long time, a sad disappointment. We will not go back. Další informace

The hotel was reasonably clean, but very outdated and worn. The location is great though!

The hotel was filthy and unclean. The shower was broken - sheets were dirty - not worth the $200 they charged me for a day at all. Only one plus is location - it is right on the ocean drive.

This hotel was featured on Hotel Impossible on TV, which turned it around to a beautiful hotel on TV. It is NOTHING like that in person. LOBBY: When you walk in, you can see they do not care about upkeep or cleanliness. The white leather dining chairs were all dirty with dirty hand prints on the top. The couches in their lobby were covered with an old […] couch cover that had stains and dirt marks. There were clumps of hair on the floor. The bar area was filthy. The hallways are very dark and narrow. ROOM: The room was disgusting. The floors were very dirty, leaving chalky marks on my bags. The beds were very old, sinking in on each side and very uncomfortable. The sheets had MULTIPLE BLOOD STAINS on them. The walls were covered in dust. Dust was all over the place. The handle to the faucet in the bathroom came off. FOOD: All of their food is made in the hotel across the alley behind the hotel. This includes the continental breakfast that was really just toast, cereal, coffee and orange juice. By the looks of everything else, I would never eat there. We had to go through a back alley to get to the other hotel to eat. VALET: The valet took 30 minutes to get my car. Worth it to pay $30 a day to valet than $20 per entrance to parking garage. SERVICE: The people there were nice, but nothing worth mentioning. When I told the lady at the front desk about our experience, she couldn't have looked any more disinterested. Další informace

the hotel was pricey, it's frustrating to learn you have to pay $19+tax/day resort fee upon arrival on top of what's paid. When booked I paid for 3d person to stay in a 2 beds room, but resort fee only included breakfast for 2. Breakfast is cheap. The beds were squeaky and uncomfortable. The only good thing is location.

The only thing I didnt like was the bed seems alike cheap

The staff at the Penguin was the best we have ever had. We have stayed at much more expensive hotels and the staff could not compare to the Penguin . The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. You will have to pay for valet parking unless you want to keep going to the parking meter across the street and put in money. It's like that at most […] hotels in Miami. Parking is scarce. I would recommend The Penguin Hotel to anyone. Další informace

We had previously stayed at this hotel 10 years ago so were excited to see it pop up on expedia and that they had updated it since then... being an older property and the excellent location the upgrades were to the rooms only in the furnishings which were in the art deco era style, so it made the room look spacious, this is a hard hotel to rate because […] of its excellent location, the price was good for what we got... has a restaurant on site,so an overall score of 3.5 would be a better one from me....I would not hesitate to recommend it and would stay again if I was in the area Další informace

I liked it, I stayed on the 1st floor....great location. Less noisy than most parts of the strip.

Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia

The staff we interacted with was nice, the location was good, and the view was nice out the front (I wouldn't want any of the rooms that look out over the alley or the back of the hotel). We only stayed one night before a cruise, and one night was enough. The rooms are old and dated and much in need of maintenance. Not to say they were dirty, just run […] down. The tub looked so decrepit that neither of us even took a shower before we checked out. The TV was basically just a fuzzy mess, nothing came in clear. We'll stay someplace else next time.

It was a great location because I could wake up every morning and just walk across the street to get to the beach, but it was also a touristy area. There were many restaurants but most of them were not places I would chose to eat.

Check-in was smooth with friendly and helpful staff. Bedroom was clean and airy with effective (if noisy) A/C. Strong shower with plenty hot water. I picked this hotel for location...right on the strip with access to shops, bars and restaurants. Optional resort fee USD15 per room per night gives wi-fi, 2 drinks at bar during happy hours and continental […] breakfast at nearby sister hotel. This is an OK price for wi-fi and a couple of beers...the continental breakfast is nothing to get excited about coffee/juice/toast. Další informace

We stayed here because of the location on the beach and also close to shops and many eating establishments. There is a $15 resort fee per room which gives you Internet, 2 cocktails in bar, water in your room ( although very small bottles) and continental breakfast in another nearby hotel but you don't have to pay it if you don't want the above. Room […] had a fantastic feature wall, very spacious with all the usual bathroom amenities. Elevator quite scary as the building is very old. Front desk staff very helpful and booked taxi for us the next day after check out, we were able to leave luggage and go walking before it arrived. Would consider this hotel should we be in the Miami area again. Další informace

Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia

The room was dirty, sheets stained, and had an unbearable stench of air freshener. The bed was uncomfortable and the only window covering was a sheer, white veil which made it seem as if we were sleeping directly on the beach once the sun rose. There are far better options in the area. We switched to the Riviera Suites (one of the South Beach Group's […] hotels) and were much happier. Další informace

This little hotel is well located, friendly and good quality. The appearance of the reception desk is a little off-putting, and there are some modest signs of wear around the public corridors, but the staff is great, the rooms are clean and the hotel is a good value,

For the price, the quality and location can't be beat. My husband and I have stayed at several similarly priced hotels on the same beachfront street, and this was by far the best for the price. The penguin theme is cute. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful.

I am very unbiased during my reviews and do not take them lightly or use them to bash hotels. This hotel is very small but located across from the beach, a great location, even compared to every other hotel on South Beach. No exercise room, I guess I overlooked this fine detail, and all gyms in South Beach are to upscale and "fancy" for my taste. They […] charged UP FRONT a deposit, and that was unexpected, and took a lot from my spending funds as I only had enough for a weekend. The rooms were run down, and I never understood other reviews about thin walls and hearing people talk clearly through them, but here I learned about it. Only about 5 channels worked, none of the channels were likable by my taste. Staff was wonderful and helpful each day we were around. I would recommend this hotel for a quick cheap trip, but if a person wanted comfort then I would not recommend this hotel. The rooms had no chairs, and I love a chair to sit in and eat, not side saddled on the rock hard matress. The rooms did have refridgerators, which is always helpful for me on vacation. The hotel itself was overall just run down, but if you fall asleep easy/quick, never watch tv, never eat in your room, and are barely in your room at all from partying so hard, then go for this hotel. I actually wanted relaxation, and regret my choice. Overall a good time either way. Probably will look for other hotel options next time! Další informace

Autentické hodnocení od zákazníka společnosti Expedia

It`s one of the cheapest hotel on Ocean Drive. Not a luxurious one and probably not for a one-week or longer stay or for honeymoon. But its not that bad as other reviews show. Or at least I was lucky with personnel and room :) It`s location is simply perfect, all South Beach entertainment is in 10 mins walk, beach is less than 2 minutes. It`s on Ocean […] Drive, so it`s quite noisy, preferring a quiet place, better stay bit far away from the beach area. Corridors need some renewal and much more light, you feel yourself on a dark ship. Reception is nice, combined with a bar and a patio, both person in reception were very nice and helpful. Room is okay, nothing special: mixed European and American style. Bed/mattress is very noisy. Bathroom is nice, clean and really stylish. Continental breakfast is quite poor, if you want something more mouth-watering, try any bar in the neighborhood or order a `la carte breakfast in their restaurant for an extra fee. This hotel is a good choice if you spend some nights on SoBe and you don`t wanna pay all your money on hotel rooms. Yep, and there is an extra 15 USD resort fee (for beach towels, breakfast, beach chairs, WiFi, etc.), which has to be paid on arrival, but you get for it 2 free cocktails in the bar between 5-7pm, and they prepare strong drinks :) Další informace

Great location but isn't worth the money. If you plan to be busy in the Art Deco area it is the ideal hotel to lay your head and change clothes. If you are accustomed in lounging and relaxing within the facility you will be disappointed
