  • Simple nice place, good staff, perfect location, amazing sea view from restaurant roof, they were nice to upgrade my reservation from shared bath to private one , the only bad thing is the internet not exist in the room but they have Cyber anyway and good signal in lobby, beware of mosquito and buy spray on your arrival, Real value for money place.

  • The only thing I didn't like about the hostel was that there is only one key for the shared dorm. I was locked in the room once (because the other guest kept the key), and twice was locked out. Other than that, the hostel was great! Really good location, staff is AMAZINGLY helpful, and the value for the money is unbeatable. Rooms and the showers were a little dirty, but I would definitely recommend this place!

  • Great time at Penguin Village...With a small BUT...we booked a tour with them to hike the Sinai.At the exact moment we were supposed to leave to reach the St.Kathrin Monastery and start the hike,they said us that Bedouins close the route to reach it.BUT if we could pay for a private tour with a taxi,there wouldn't be any problem...just say "The tour doesn't leave because there are not enough people"!!Just be honest!!!!

  • The Penguin Village is the perfect place for a lonely traveller. The dorm had excellent beds and the restaurant is a great place to chill out, play backgammon and meet other travellers. The staff was so helpful, so welcoming and I ended up staying here longer than I intended.
