The property is well-positioned in town. Everything is within walking distance. The rooms are very small, but I was only using it to sleep. The staff is fantastic.

Small but great location. If you’re doing long vacation with 4 suitcases (couple) not enough room. We had 2 large suitcases/ no extra room! We would stay there again.

Check-in was a breeze, the staff were very friendly, and the location can't be beat - right in the heart of Little Italy, a quick taxi ride from the airport, and a 15 minute walk to the cruise ship terminal. The room was quite small but we were only in San Diego for the night so all the pros far outweighed this one con.

La Pensione Hotel is truly in the heart of Little Italy - and that brings both good and bad. The Good: - Very nice building that, although a bit dated, is surrounded by an excellent selection of restaurants as well as Wed/Sat farmers markets - A few blocks from the Trolley and a bit further from downtown and Santa Fe Depot The Bad: - Across the street from Coco Maya, which plays loud music late into the night - Air inside rooms can be very dry In general, I'd categorize my stay as pleasant during the day and awful at night. I was sleep deprived every single night due to noise continuing past 1 AM, a hard mattress, and the dry air. In addition, whenever I came back to the hotel, because my room faced the sun it was always 10 degrees hotter inside than in the hallway and very dry. But the staff were friendly, the location is otherwise excellent as a base for exploring San Diego, and although I probably wouldn't stay here again (just because of the aforementioned sleeping issues), if you're staying during the week and are able to avoid Friday and Saturday nights, this is a great spot with FANTASTIC brunch and dinner options just across the street.
