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.

My second time in this hotel, because I liked it very much! It's clean, perfectly located: just at the entrance to the old town, slightly higher, which gives an amazing panoramic view, especially from the roof terrace and the dining room. My single room was comfortable, had a balcony and bathroom. All clean. Coffee machine, tee and coffee available. Only the pillow was uncomfortable for me. The breakfast buffet was fine with hot and cold, sweet and savoury options. However, the choice was not too big. I missed vegetables. All in all, I enjoyed staying in the hotel!

The staff at Hotel La Perla were all lovely and friendly and polite. I lost an expensive bracelet whilst there, and I believe a member of staff handed it in at reception, which I was very grateful for. We stayed in the villa, which was spacious, and it was cleaned to a high standard. There was plenty of choice for breakfast each morning.

The hotel is a little bit outdated, but this didn't bother us too much. It was very clean, which is what really matters.

The staff were super nice and friendly… rooms and everything were very clean. The hotel is in a great location close to the bus station and many touristic places. There is a rooftop terrace, it is without service but you can just sit there relax and enjoy the stunning view of the Lake Maggiore and Ascona town. The breakfast was great though there were no much veggies options. Additionally, they generously provided transportation tickets for buses and trains in Ticino during my stay, which was a very thoughtful touch!

The room was not the same as the one I booked, and they showed on the website, it had different view from the balcony. The first photo is from my booking, while the last photo is the actual view of the room they gave me. There weren't many vegetable choices.

Staff was absolutely amazing, reception staff are really great at their job, and so very nice! The location of the hotel is really great, a few steps away from all the sights and the old town. We also had lake view from our balcony which was awesome! Beds and linens were comfortable, and the breakfast was also really abundant and great!

Overall the structure and the rooms are very dated. I understand that the location is the main selling point of this accommodation at this affordable price, so any renewal would result in a higher price, however it's well maintained so I would still recommend. Parking, while fairly priced, is very very tight and had me quite nervous to park in and out.

I particularly like the kindness of the personnel. They were absolutely more than helpful after I had made a huge blunder on my booking. The view on the mountains and lake are beautiful. Gluten free options are available also for breakfast. Loved the style of the place and the modernised bathrooms.

I wasnt expecting much given the star rating of the hotel but I was positively surprised to find a comfortable and clean room, with a partial view to the lake, silent enough at night to leave the windows open (important during this particularly hot summer - a ventilator was helping too), and a great location close to the main promenade by the lake maggiore. Besides, the breakfast was amazing. Good value for what was payed, considering the expensive country.

parking space was tight but that was expected in an old building

This hotel has a great location, just outside the pedestrian zone of Ascona. Private parking is available. Rooms are comfortable and functional. Views from the restaurant terrace is fantastic and breakfast is very good.

Nothing. I liked everything.

The staff was very friendly and nice.

Nothing! Perfect location, very clean, ideal for families, good breakfast, good staff, beautiful view from the room, even a kitchen available with oven and fridge and a private room with table to eat with kids. Close to bus, lake and city center.

Very friendly staff, great view from the hotel, big rooms, close to the center

The hotel itself is a bit old and could need some rework (carpet, bathroom etc.)
