Location was great, but having to go to another hotel for breakfast was an issue. Advertising was a bit misleading, but overall an ok hotel.

Location 10/10
But this hotel needs a rehabilitation bad! The bathroom hardware was rusted over, the cloth painting on the wall had mold/dirt on it, the blinds on the window were peeling, mirrored wall was peeling around the edges. I'm 6 months pregnant and took the stairs because the elevator was a "death-trap". For me the convenience of the location doesn’t make up for the lack of care. The free breakfast/welcome drink were nice.
1.0
I would give 0 stars if I have a chance.
Room smells of mold
Probably has bed bugs
Disgusting cleanliness of corridors
Not worth the price for breakfast(scrambled eggs,soggy waffles,diluted coffee,corn flakes) + rude waitress
Note: breakfast and pool are in the next hotel at back and need to walk it down.
Overall there are better hotels to stay for a decent price and breakfast in the next street.

Enjoyed the hotel. Only issue was with mattress. It was a bit bouncy springy for my liking. Could use for an updated mattress. Everything else was great! Location is optimal for food drink ocean

Perfect location for south beach and sunrise! Cute boutique hotel that shares amenities with hotel next to it.

The rooms are cramped and a bit worn. The front desk doesn’t have shower caps that many women use.

Room was nice close to the beach
They held my bags so I was able to go to the beach comfortably before check in

Easy last minute booking. Helpful staff. Location in the middle of all south Beach action. These guys take their penguins seriously.
5.0
Have stayed in South Beach many times. This hotel is nice because it’s on the northern part of South Beach so it’s a little quieter. Resort fee amenities are generous, the hotels, clean, and overall a great deal.

Was OK overall. I had an issue with my reservation and was told to email the front desk with my issue yet they didn't respond. They have no phone number and no one can help you other than the front desk people that can only be reached by email. My issue may not have been resolvable but ignoring my email is not acceptable...

Well, the hotel does show it's age, unfortunately I'd say it's not as nice as it looks. There are no other services at the Penguin hotel, you have to go to their sister hotel, The President Hotel for the bar, pool, etc. Also, there is no staff at the desk at night, you have to contact the President Hotel if you need anything.
2.0
Location is everything! The hotel is old, but in good repair. There are no amenities at this location. The bar and pool are at the sister hotel. But this hotel is right across from the beach! Be aware there are a few stairs to get into the hotel. Also, taxis cannot drive you to the door as the street is blocked to traffic. You must haul your suitcases a little bit.
3.0
Pretty nice. Was expecting worse based on other reviews. Our room was very clean and presentable. Overall hotel was dated but trying to get there. Bar/front restauarnt wasn't open.
The resort fee us a joke you have to pay it for breakfast and a bottle of water per day.
The breakfast was hard to get find in another building and line out the door. Not worth the wait or resort fee.
It's no resort.

We loved how kind all of the staff was! It's a quaint little hotel on the main stripe, across from the beach and close to all of the action in town...we didn't have to walk far to get to all of the site and restaurants.
8.0
I loved the decor and attention to details. Staff was excellent. The elevator was broken twice so that we had to carry our bags down from the 3rd floor. I chose your facility because you had an in house bar and breakfast. You really need to let bookings know that neither of those are at your facility. Seems misleading.
Your staff saved the rating with cleanliness and trying to be helpful.

The receptionist is so helpful. The breakfast is wonderful. The location is perfect.
10.0
The property is located in a very convenient location close to the beach, dining places, shops, etc. Rooms are little small and don't expect a luxury experience in this hotel. It's good for stopover stay for few nights. Overall I would recommend this hotel to stay on Ocean Drive in a budget.
2.0
Not so great. The hotel is old and was renovated badly. Furniture was cheap and damaged. It was inconvenient to have to go to another hotel to get breakfast/drinks. The street in front of the hotel has been closed for some time but that is not mentioned in the description
Location was great. Beach was just across the street
10.0
This was our second time staying at The Penguin Hotel! It’s clean and convenient and located around everything you would need. The beach is right across the street. Your booking comes with free drinks, beach towels, breakfast, pool, and luggage storage. What more would we need? 😊
8.0
Very quaint - it’s outdated but that’s part of the charm. Clean and easy to get to restaurants. It’s partnered with the President Hotel and the breakfast is off site which may not be easy for everyone.

Location location location! Right beside the ocean with lots of restaurants steps away. Ocean blvd is lively (there was an art deco weekend when we were there) and so much fun.
I would stay here again!

Only one night before flying back home.
The room was ok, the AC was making so much noise if i have to complain about something.
Drink and breakfast is at the hotel on the back street. Note to self the are always closing the art deco street over xmas/newyears so remember you cant drop of your bags outside the hotel, so you have to carry it al the way from were you park your car.

Bad service
2.0
First and foremost, basic amenities like a toothbrush were missing from the room. The overall cleanliness was appalling, with a dirty and unsafe environment that made my stay uncomfortable.
I was particularly concerned about the hotel's policy of copying my photo ID and credit card, which raised serious privacy issues. The room itself was incredibly small and lacked even basic furniture like a table, severely impacting the comfort and practicality of my stay.
Though advertised as an ocean view room, the view of the ocean was barely visible, which was a major letdown considering the high price of the room. Additionally, there was no housekeeping service provided during my stay, adding to the unhygienic and unkempt atmosphere of the place.
To make matters worse, all the amenities that one would expect were not available on site but rather in a sister hotel, which was inconvenient and misleading. My nights were disturbed by constant noise, further detracting from the overall experience.
In conclusion, this hotel did not meet the standards expected for the price paid, and I would not recommend it to others looking for a pleasant stay in Miami Beach.

The staff was excellent -- very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and it was very nice to have a desk and a small refridgerator in the room. The location is excellent -- near the beach and easily walkable to restaurants, the convention center, and other amenities and entertainment. Highly recommend.

They charged us for resort fees for daily beverages and clean every day but they didn't clean 2 days and water only on first day
2.0
Customer service was fantastic and the location can't be beat. The continental breakfast at the sister hotel was great. The rooms are in need of some updates and the walls are quite thin (we were woken up by neighbors that were out later). It's pretty on par with the price. Great place if you don't need a lot in your travels.
10.0
Convenient location to every attraction in South Beach.
Trash truck is very loud on days of service.
6.0
It was not wat I expected, since the hotel is part of other hotel that has the facilities that are announced. It is necessary to go to other place to enter and have access to the pool, and also to take the breakfast. There was a strange smell in the hallway of the bedroom floor. There is no parking in the property. Also be aware that you must pay a warranty of US$200.00 when you get there for the check in. The breakfast was ok.
10.0
Affordable and you could walk to many attractions. Their sister hotel El Presidente was where you go for breakfast. Henry from El presidente was amazing! He was very helpful and kind. They also helped store our luggage as our flight was not until later in the afternoon.
