I have been a traveller all of my life and have never stayed at a place where the staff is so committed to ensuring you have the best visit possible to their city. You get 5 start quality with the intimacy of being treated as a beloved family member.

Excellent welcome and continued excellent service and help from Lars and the team.

This is not a faceless hotel, but a boutique B&B, where contact with staff is frequent and a must.
The guys here can’t do enough for you, recommending things to do, places to visit and proving maps with key reference points, all to enhance your stay.
The friendliness and fun nature of the team really helped us settle straight into our trip to Mexico/Guadalajara.

The B&B is well located with easy walking distance to downtown (centre) of Guadalajara as well as convenient for transport to other places eg places to visit and train/bus stations.

The building itself is sympathetically restored and has real character, with some fun twists (rooftop bar).
Tere does an excellent job keeping the place clean and also serving a lovely buffet breakfast.

I can’t recommend this place enough. There’s a personal and accommodating approach that you can’t get at so many places.

Hosts and staff were extremely helpful with recommendations for sightseeing, dining, etc. They provided nightly cocktail hour with fascinating conversations. Hotel is lovely, but be aware of many stairs. Neighborhood is walkable to many attractions and Uber is simple and cheap.

Perfect in Guadalajara

Great stay, wonderful hosts. Give yourself a break from big hotels. Central neighbourhood but quiet street. But what puts it over the top is the exceptional hospitality .. made us feel like honoured guests and friends from the get go.

The owners are just wonderful, taking care to learn what we are interested in and making suggestions to fit each guest’s needs. They are delightful, truly caring and lots of fun. The property is well-situated within walking distance of the Historical Center and many bars and restaurants. We loved our time here!

The team at La Perla went above and beyond to make our recent trip truly unforgettable. Not only did they provide exceptional accommodations and service at their beautiful hotel, but they also facilitated a personalized trip to my family's hometown. I mentioned that I had family in a town near Guadalajara that I had not seen in 30 years, and Memo suggested making the visit a reality. This is something I did not think was possible due to the distance and remoteness, but Memo put everything into action. This was the highlight of the trip and Memo quickly became a welcome guest at my family’s ranch, even leaving with parting gifts from the family.

For the other part of the trip, Lars gave us great itineraries and suggestions to see popular sights and towns with an insider’s perspective. We also met wonderful guests and shared experiences during breakfast and evening margaritas. The whole La Perla team became dear friends, making our stay at La Perla feel like a home away from home. Their warm hospitality and genuine care for their guests truly set La Perla apart.

This place is beyond great, and I feel compelled to elaborate on my extraordinary experience there! As a solo traveler on my first trip to GDL, I wanted to stay in a smaller venue, and La Perla delivered. The house is just beautiful and conveniently-located. The room (I booked the Grand Queen) was attractive, well-decorated, spotless and roomy, and kept clean and well attended to by Teresa. And while everything about the physical space was great, my love for this hotel was about its people. Lorenzo and Guillermo were so friendly and attended to every detail. Breakfast on the rooftop with the whole crew was so enjoyable and informative. I immediately felt I was amongst friends, and was treated as such. Antonio prepares a great spread and was also much fun to be with. The highlight of my trip, among many close contenders, occurred on my last day when I booked a tour with Guillermo to the pyramids of Guachimontones and to Tequila. Guillermo gets to know each guest and tailors each trip accordingly, giving great history and mini-detours along the way. I fell in love with La Perla and will be back!

The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly for first time visitors. They walked us to places in the neighborhood and supplied great personalized maps and information. The place was immaculate and beautiful. Overall, one of the best stays we have ever had in over 30 years of travel throughout the world. Highly recommend a stay of any length at La Perla!

A great experience!

La Perla is not only a wonderful boutique hotel, but it's much more! It's really an experience! Lorenzo, Guillermo and Antonio treat each guest as a member of the family, and the interaction with them, and other guests, is what makes the experience totally unique and special. They are warm, engaging hosts who quickly make you feel like friends. They are also very knowledgeable about Guadalajara and the surrounding area, and can offer very helpful hints (and personalized, hand drawn walking maps) of Guadalajara, Tlaquepaque, Tonala’ or whatever. Every night everyone (remember, this is a very small hotel, so we’re talking about maybe one or two additional guests) meets up in the rooftop bar for Lorenzo’s frozen margaritas (or bring your own wine or drink of choice), and the hosts show an enthusiastic interest in what you did, and can provide a lot of perspective on what’s you share, from a local’s point of view. Breakfast is delightful, and again, everyone is in attendance, and the conversation is engaging and informative, and can help you plan your day’s activities, or just be fun repartee. Of course, if you prefer privacy or to do your own thing, you can choose to do that too. The hotel itself, from the entrance to the common areas, to the breakfast room, to the rooftop bar, to the rooms themselves, is extraordinarily tastefully decorated and feels more like a curated showcase, without feeling fragile, or like you have to walk on eggs. It's a complete experience!

When you stay at La Perla, it feels like coming home. From the moment that your taxi drops you off in front of this beautiful hotel and staff greet with open arms, everything about their experience reinforced how much care has been put into making sure every guest feels welcome—even if only for a short time! The rooms are decorated beautifully yet still provide all modern amenities; there's always activities happening nearby or on site such as happy hour outdoors on the rooftop terrace. Serenity everywhere ~this place is magic!

The layout and decor of the building--gorgeous, evoking an earlier time. The real draw, however, is the spirit of hospitality, the care for each guest's specific needs. Lars and Memo are wonderful hosts. It's worth the trip to Guadalajara just to stay at La Perla!

La Perla was an amazing place to stay.

The hotel: The room was quiet at night, and I could also keep it cold with the air conditioning and dark with the window shutters. As a gay man, I chose this hotel as it is gay friendly and was not disappointed. The hotel is rumored to be haunted - and I do think a ghost turned on a light in my room while I was sleeping. I wasn't scared - but rather happy that I had a story to share at breakfast.

Speaking of breakfast: every morning was a continental breakfast with breads, jam, fruit, juice, eggs, water, and coffee. The conversation with the hosts and the other guests lingered some mornings and never felt rushed.

The hosts: They gave me as much privacy as I wanted but also were as engaged when I needed. Lars provided a wonderful walking tour which allowed me to see the centro and also feel immediately connected. Thanks to Lars and Guillermo I learned how locals eat lunch for 70 pesos, I learned about options for nightlife, I saw the Independence Day parade, I experienced a shopping mall, and much more. The hotel has a happy hour at the end of the day which again never felt rushed and was a great way to meet the other guests and compare daily activities. I felt like a long time friend of Lars and Guillermo. I loved the email notes received weekly before my trip which helped build my excitement about the trip!

Location: A short uber ride to other parts of town.

Wonderful B&B and a wonderful host.

Wonderful B&B with a wonderful host. The property is located in the heart of Guadalajara and is perfect for explorers of the city. The rooms are comfortable and charmingly decorated. The host and the staff are very helpful in every aspect, from directions and attraction suggestions to even moving of the breakfast time to accommodate our departure for the airport. High marks on everything.
