โรงแรมลาเปนซิโอเน

Property was in a great location if you want to be close to restaurants and the city action. Hotel staff was super friendly and check in was really quick. The only downside was that parking was expensive and in a very very small underground lot. I wouldn’t recommend if you are traveling solo or have a car bigger than a sedan. Parking was stressful.

I've stayed here many times over the last two years, but this time I found the room to need some work. The smell was musty (like a bit of mildew in the AC perhaps), the area in front of the hotel smelled like dog poo every time I walked in or out, and overall the property is just a little grody. Some fresh paint on the trim in the rooms and cleaning the AC would go a long way, I think. I still had a good experience with the comfy bed etc. Staff are always super pleasant and helpful. Just needs a bit of love.

Parking garage is a nightmare: beware it only can accommodate very small cars and is very hard to maneuver in / out of unless other spots are open. Farmers market on Saturdays from 8-2 was a wonderful surprise. No microwave. No daily cleaning service unless you request it. No hot water or complimentary coffee in the rooms. Bottled water upon request. Often staff looked put out / bothered when asked questions at the front desk. Cute neighborhood, close to the harbor, great eating options all around.

Was a great experience

Friendly staff, lot of food options nearby

Fun area to be in. Good coffee nearby.

Always my family go to- and we love this place ! Being Sicilian , when I come to stay in San Diego - we come and stay at La Pensione ALWAYS! The location of this charming hotel is right in the heart of little Italy 🇮🇹❤️the staff is welcoming and accommodating! Thank you for another wonderful stay , see you soon! Ciao

Hotel had a hostile feel. Clean but dated. Bed was ok, pillows were terrible some hard as a rock others flimsy. Very small room, very small tv, no in room coffee, limited amenities. Having small fridge a plus. Awesome as it was right in little italy, close to quality food and activities. Best part of staying there. Service was average, inconsistent. For example heard a guest offered water on check in, we were not. Check out very minimal engagement or gratitude. Did not service room or replenish toiletries.

Room was hard to navigate. Bed was comfortable. Halls and room were less than clean. Wallpaper was torn. Staff failed to inform us of the farmers market taking place the morning after our checkin. Great city location but loud.

The room was nice, great location, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The MTS Trolley is blocks away and for $2.50/ride it will take you to different tourist areas in town. Saved me a lot of $ in ubers. The little italy area is lively so it is noisy at night. On my last night there was a giant cockroach in my room. The maintenance worker claimed he found it outside my room in the hallway and killed it and threw it out. I call bs! No proof, didn't happen. Also claimed there were no rooms open that night so needless to say i did not get much sleep.

Didn’t realize this is in the heart of little Italy. 8 min walk from the train station. Modernized quaint hotel. Rooms aren’t big but super cozy, updated and well kept. Walk out and you’re right at the farmers market on Saturday mornings. If you haven’t experienced the little Italy farmers market then you’re missing out ! The hotel provides free water bottles . We didn’t anticipate 88 degree weather in San Diego so the water came in handy. They also provide tea / coffee in the mornings. It’s a prime location. Restaurants, bars, a night club across the street. Amazing staff to top it off. 100% recommend. We will be back La Pensione. Thank you for a great Labor Day weekend.

Right in the heart of Little Italy. Close to everything. Cute property and nice staff

Minimal amenities. Smelly garage.

Terrible

The AC was noisy in our room and the staff were quick to take care of us and move us to another room. They even moved our belongings for us! Excellent service!

The location of this hotel is awesome! You are in the heart of Little Italy. One thing I did not like was that for the price of this hotel there is no parking. You need to find a meter parking on the street and carry your luggage to the hotel. Aside from the parking everything was good!

Clean rooms

The rooms are TINY. Fine if you’re traveling alone but not enough for two or more. Room has a mini-fridge, but no microwave, so it’s kinda pointless. The rooms are mostly clean but the dressers could be replaced/updated. My room had spiders and termites, so keep an eye out. Also, the parking situation is unacceptable. $35 a DAY but no guaranteed parking in their extremely cramped underground lot. They warn you when you get there that your car needs to be compact, but every car down there was an SUV and it was impossible to move safely. The space is way too small to turn your car around if there are no spaces to park. You might literally have to back up and then back your way up the hill back onto the street. It’s that small! Shouldn’t even be allowed. Also they do NOTHING about the homeless people sleeping out the front of the building. Great location overall, but overpriced for the rooms/amenities

Great place. Great location. Exactly what you expect of boutique hotel.
