Hotel La Perla

Cleanliness, very nice service, great location

Fabulous

From the very beginning the staff were the most friendly and made us feel very welcome at check in. Especially Isabella at the front desk was very kind and clearly enjoyed her job which gave us a very homey feeling. The hotel is slightly old but not run down. The room was very spacious and the balcony gave us a wonderful view of the whole ascona area. In addition you're just a 5 minute walk away from the old town. Everything was clean and comfortable and matched the price well.

The parking situation was not ideal. It was very tight and also costed an extra 9 Euros for a spot. A small thing but still wasn't quite expected.

The location of the hotel was great. The AC in the room was also a life saver on a hot weekend. I also appreciated that easiness of checking in online. We also had a beautiful view from our balcony.

I think we definitely were paying for the location, rather than the quality of the room. The bed wasn't very comfortable, the pillows were quite flat and the room felt very stuffy without the AC on. When we arrived, it seemed like the cleaners hadn't finished cleaning up as there were two empty beer bottles in the bathroom and dirty dishes on the balcony. We also noticed the bath had some dirt around the side and one of the towels had some yellow stains. The towel was replaced the following day, and the new towel was clean. There were also some spots of dirt on the carpet. We also were woken up multiple times in the night by other guests who were very loud on the stairs, but that's not really the hotels fault. For such a great location it was fine, but there were some small details as mentioned that made it feel disappointing that we had paid so much for the room.
