We stayed at the Penaga a number of times in the 2010s and came back for the first time since Corona. How sad, what used to be a charming little hotel is a shadow of its former self: poorly maintained, dirty chairs on the balcony; one (!) hanger in the closet; the small but functional swimming pool

This hotel was not, by our standard, worthy of its 4 stars rating. It is well placed reasonably quiet but the room was poorly maintained. The toilet did not flush properly. The shower box was a disgrace the a huge stain on the shower tray and you would worry to get an infection by something if you s
