Location couldn’t have been more central. In checking in, Phil was super friendly & knowledgeable. Hotel and rooms were all very clean and comfortable. The door locks were very modern and felt safe & secure. There was even fruit, small selection of drinks and coffee included. We will definitely stay again if returning to Penguin in the future.

The stairs were a little daunting with suitcases. The room was lovely but in need of a makeover. Downstairs entry and foyer area were very nice, we enjoyed the complimentary port and sherry.

The Madsen was situated in a beautiful location. The staff were thoughtful, brilliant and accommodating.
The only issue I see is the accommodation needed a lift, however due to heritage restrictions apparently this is not available. This makes people with disabilities a problem.
Would definitely stay here again, just need to ensure I booked lower level.

Location great for walking to restaurants. Unfortunately very noisy (delivery trucks at 6am) and no privacy as room window faced driveway at ground level so needed to have curtains closed at all times. Would choose differently next time.

If you enjoy listening to guests talking, walking around and going to the toilet then this is the perfect property for you. Bring industrial earplugs if you want to sleep. Property looks nice, staff friendly but hugely disappointing to pay hotel rates for motel standard
2.0
Room is in desperate need of repairs, bathroom sink cracked, big crack in ceiling above our bed and stained carpet. Very noisy hotel, as we could hear the guest in the room above us snoring and guests coming down the stars in front of our room being loud, which woke us up at 6am.
5.0
We had such a nice and relaxing time at this hotel, our host Phil was so helpful and knowledgeable about the area and made excellent suggestions of things to do in the area.

The Madsen was a lovely old building, but being old there where no lifts and had to carry suit case upstairs. The service was very basic. The room was not very big and was not value for money. Over all I thought it was over priced.

stayed in the Penthouse, spacious room with sea views and high tech devices, large spa bath and king bed.
only down side would be the stairs to get access to the room.
