Hotel Perla is a small lower-middle-range hotel located on a lively pedestrian street lined with cafes and restaurants. Its 23 guest rooms are simply decorated, but comfortable and kept impeccably clean, and all have balconies. Breakfast costs extra, but guests receive a discount at the on-site restaurant. The hotel is located in Lapad, a popular beach area just outside of Dubrovnik city center. The beach is a two-minute walk away, and the bus to Dubrovnik's Old Town stops close by, making it a convenient place to stay. Travelers should also compare rates with nearby Hotel Zagreb, a charming old villa with a large, lush garden, and breakfast included in room rates -- but no elevator or in-room minibars.
