Customer reviewpenguin was great, but i suggest you take cash to pay for your hostel at end of stay because they cgarge for cards. We got charged extra for our hostel because hostel bookers was english, in pounds, but they sent the bill to penguin in euro's! Not good exchange so we paid more than we should have! penguin staff were really understanding and helped us out. |

Customer reviewGreat location, right on the reef. My only complaint is that the toilets are always clogged and their tours are way overpriced. |

Jason BennettThe room we had was a great deal - sea side view with air conditioning, for an incredible price. When you walked downstairs from your room, you were literally already on the sea (but so were the other countless hotels/hostels on the promenade). The hotel also offered free breakfast every day at their AWESOME restaurant on the sea, Penguin Restaurant, which had delicious food. They didn't really remind anyone that breakfast was included, so make sure when you go there for breakfast you tell the waiter your room number at the hotel, to make sure you each get a free breakfast (worth 15 LE per person). The only thing I would not recommend is the hotel's dive shop, Penguin Divers. The equipment is old and falling apart, and our guide was not very helpful or pleasant. Go to Sphinx Divers just a couple minutes walk further down on the promenade - they were so much better, for the same price. |

Customer reviewThe staff were quite friendly, giving us good and honest advice for travel and excursions and the property was right on the oceanfront (Red Sea rather!). |

Shaun LohmanClean bathrooms and rooms, good facilities (dive centre, restaurant). There was no warm water in the bathrooms and all water is salt water. Salt water is common in Dahab. |
