    I found the music from the restaurant too loud so I had to close the door although I would have preferred to keep it open.

    Central location, lovely room, large terrasse, gorgeous view, kettle in the room ! fully-functionnig almost silent air conditioning, the breakfast, the very helpful, professional and accommodating owner/manager....more or less everything

    Can't think of any negatives!

    The staff were super helpful when it came to booking day trips. The room was massive and comfortable. It is within walking distance of a number of different restaurants, beaches, etc. Overall, a great place to stay in Dahab.

    Penguin Hotel in Dahab offers a serene escape just minutes from the city center and a stunning lagoon. They arranged for us the best taxi service from Sharm el Sheikh Airport. The breathtaking views, delectable breakfast, and exceptional service exceeded expectations. The staff, known for their kindness and friendliness, added a special touch to our stay. We can't wait to return to this oasis of tranquility. We did a little interview at the end of our stay that you can look on the website :)

    Really loved the balcony, you could get some sun there, while being a little bit protected by the wind. The service was great, i got a voucher for the breakfast and they arranged a taxi driver for me to continue my travels immediately as requested. The room was clean and extras like coffee, tea & water were provided.

    I think the bathrooms should be renovated, as well as the water pressure system. It would be nice to have soundproof windows too.

    I came to Dahab for diving and I can say the Penguins diving center is 10/10. They have all the necessary equipment and friendly and professional guides. It was so comfortable just to walk downstairs and prepare for the dive in the morning. As for the hotel, my general impression is very positive too. The guys working here are very friendly and try their best to make you a perfect stay. Special thanks to Osama who helped me with everything. My room had an amazing sea view balcony, it was exactly as in the pictures.

    So firstly, the hotel staff were just amazing. Osama and Belal always helped me with my 101 queries, always happy and smiling. Such an easy quick check-in process and also I wanted to extend my stay and they sorted this out in no time. Nothing was too much to ask for her. Always checking if I red anything and if I am okay. Anything I needed just drop a quick message to reception or pop downstairs. Easy Access to the strip. Everything is within walking distance. Food shops and restaurants right outside the hotel. Launderette right outside the hotel, shops to buy snacks. All open until very late. I felt very safe inside and outside the hotel. I had a beautiful sea facing room alwith a beautiful view! The room was SO spacious, I could have fit my friends and family in there! Bathroom is also very spacious. I will definitely be back, very soon!

    Me and my 2 sisters had the best stay here. it might be a 3 star hotel, but everything is 5 star about it! Sea view is amazing especially during sunrise. We have stayed at many hotels over the world and this has to be the best value for money, the owners treat you as people rather than numbers. 1000/10 service. would definitely come back and recommend to others
