Bao Yen Trip

Location is everything and the Penguin provides exactly that. You are just steps away from the beach, right at Lummus Park and Ocean Drive, but without the noise of all the restaurants on Ocean Drive. The staff is very nice. The rooms, especially the bathrooms are small. Most rooms will not have a view. However, the rooms are clean and provide everything you need to rest up at night before going back outside to enjoy everything South Beach Miami has to offer. The AC units are a bit older and noisy, something that could be improved on, as well as the shelf right above the sink, which should be moved to the other side. Additional areas to hang wet clothes or towels would be nice too. The bedding was simple but clean. A headboard would have been nice and could spruce up the room instantly. The pool area provides a nice view of downtown Miami. It’s not big but if you want a pool, they got one. The Penguin is nothing fancy but was exactly what we needed during our stay, affordable, right at the beach, watching sunrises every morning with only a few steps to the beach and in walking distance to all the hot spots. We were happy with our decision to stay at the Penguin.

Location is perfect for South Beach, with direct access to the beach via a cut through. Rooms were clean and functional. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was very good as well. I would definitely recommend!

Great location, friendly staff

Pros: Clean rooms, nice staff, close to the beach. Cons: resort fees per day, and hearing the noise outside my room (inside the hotel from staff or other guests). Overall, it was a nice and peaceful experience.

The Anglers Hotel was clean with friendly staff available just few blocks from beach. It was our first time in Miami and we will be coming back! I loved food in Miami hands down the best I have tasted on vacation. I highly recommend hotel and Miami South beach!!!
