Hotel la Perla

Hidden Affordable Gem Stayed one night on my way to Agerola for a wedding. For a few hundred a night I had stunning balcony with 270 degree ocean view. Definitely get a balcony unit. Location was ideal for relaxed stay as it was situated in quiet Praiano halfway between popular (but overcrowded) Positano and Amalfi towns with bus stop right across the street. The beach (stone) and water access were about ten minutes walk down steep hill but very doable for any healthy person. You can rent umbrellas and chairs for swimming and sun bathing. Also, the walkway down was dotted with multiple good restaurants and bars with ocean views. There was also a convenience store 100M up main road where you can also get the bus passes and an ATM (but not a bank so be careful to decline dynamic conversion offer to avoid fees). I did not have a car but I think they offer parking. This was a lovely spot to relax and you can use the bus to explore but relying on the bus alone can be time consuming as it doesn’t stop if it’s full so a car will be desirable if you want on demand mobility. Taxis are extremely expensive ($90 Euro to Amalfi) and sometimes hard to book. You could just stay at the hotel area to relax for several days and pay for guided tours (Amalfi, Capri, Positano, Sorrento, etc) but bring a car if you want to be independently mobile. Note that parking in the towns will also be really expensive though.

The staff was so helpful, the location and view are amazing. The room is simple, but exactly what we needed it to be. We had a great experience!

Clean, friendly bar staff. Near some good landmarks.

Ótima localização e um hotel gostoso Hotel bem localizado em Praiano pois em frente fica um dos locais mais charmosos da Costa amalfitana. Uma praia pequena com um belo visual e ótimos restaurantes. Praiano fica bem no meio do caminho entre Amalfi e Positano. O que facilita muito o deslocamento. O hotel tem um bom estacionamento, bom café da manhã e um bom quarto. O visual da varado hotel é incrível e inspirador.

O hotel é muito agradavel, bonito, em um local otimo, com uma vista maravilhosa! Os funcionários são prestativos. Voltaria com certeza!!!

Disappointing Convenient location close to the beach and the bus stop, okay breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. However, if you’re considering booking a standard room you run the risk of being put in some sort of dungeon, with a magnificent view straight into a wall and the hotel’s trash bins (pictured). If you’re considering booking a standard room I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere, or at least that you upgrade to a deluxe room.
