Hotel Perla

Quiet family run hotel in a great location for the beach and restaurants.

Rooms at Perla are on the small side but very clean. If you can get on the top floor, some rooms have large terraces. The staff was very friendly and helpful, indoor/outdoor restaurant is very pleasant. The neighborhood of Lapad where the hotel is located is very nice....it's on a pedestrian walkway, lots of small hotels, sidewalk cafes, trees, and a harbor at the end of the walkway with a coastal walking path. A five minute walk to the number 6 bus which runs every 15 minutes and takes about 15 minutes to the main entrance to the old city. To me this very slight inconvenience was more than made up for by being able to get away from the super-crowded atmosphere in the old city to a more relaxing neighborhood. Highly recommend Perla and the family that runs it.
