Reviews for Penguin Resort Hotel

Review 1：Once you are in your room, you're isolated. The road to the hotel is miserable and there is a locked gate protecting the premises. Like being in a penitentiary.

Review 2：The hotel is inexpensive.

Review 3：Showers need modernising, hot water intermittent, no shower cubicles so whole of bathroom floor gets wet.

Review 4：Small , quiet, friendly & clean hotel. Manager & staff very helpful & accommodating. We were able to leave our luggage which we didn't need to take with us for the safari. Very comfortable beds. Good value for money. Very homely. We would happily visit again.

Review 5：Away from the main area so not always easy to get to. Also, most taxi drivers have never heard of it.

Review 6：Good basic accommodation. Very friendly staff. Away from the city centre so quiet.

Review 7：The breakfast was poor. They have WIFI but the speed is really slow and most of the times it did not really work. The rooms are not clean.

Review 8：Friendly staff

Review 9：Too far from city center or bus stations. About 5-10USD or 10,000-20,000 TZ shillings by taxi depending on which two bus stops you are going to. Poor wifi (slow internet connection is common in Africa)

Review 10：Clean, safe place. Close to middle class supermarket

Review 11：>too far from city center. Required to take taxi to reach bus stations. Cost 20,000 Tz shillings (USD12) between Penguin to bus stop (Riverside&East African that goes to Nairobi). >location of hotel on Google map is incorrect (Date accessed July2014). It is not located on Nairobi road. >Close to a middle-class supermarket, and some local pubs, but pretty much far from elsewhere. >smell of burning trash. Next door neighbor burns them on the two days i stayed there. I strongly recommend choosing another hostel closer to the city center, unless your safari operator will pick you up OR you don't mind paying extra to travel to city center/bus station.

Review 12：>clean, quiet (except for cows mooing next door), safe environment.

Review 13：This was a night stop over before travelling to Tarangire National Park. Very clean and great service. A cow and cockerels next to the hotel kept us awake but added to the experience. Food was good and they arranged transport for us to travel 2 hours to the park the next day. We didn't feel that you would walk outside of the hotels gates alone but this was an excellent value for money hotel as a stop over whilst travelling.

Review 14：Food was nothing special. Be careful if you get them to organise taxis etc...they gave us price in US Dollars and when we wanted to pay in Tanzanian Shillings the exchange rate was crazy. Almost double why it should have been!

Review 15：Friendly staff. Clean room with good hot shower. Good value for money.

Review 16：WAY overpriced....and kind of out of the way.

Review 17：Polite and friendly staff.

Review 18：Difficult to find the hotel, google maps displays location on a totally different place. Even local people do not know exactly where this hotel is.

Review 19：need a taxi to get there

Review 20：clean good breakfast

Review 21：Very poor kitchen services(too much delay when one orders a meal). The road Is very bad and dirty

Review 22：The staff were hospitable & its quiet.
