One night stay
Wife and I found this stay to be very pleasant, nice sea view out the window and very lean, only bit of a downer is parking, right outside the hotel is in the town and only 30-60 mins during the day, had to park down the street a bit to avoid parking fine

Comfortable old world charm
The Madsen is an old bank converted to units. This shows in the bathroom etc set up. On the whole very comfortable and close to all aspects of Penguin.

Nice stay with great view and bath
We had a really nice stay in the penthouse of the Madsen. It was a very relaxing stay and the view from the bath was fantastic. Check in and check out were contactless and very easy. The bed was comfy and the penthouse was massive and very spacious.
