A friend and I stayed here for 2 nights. The rooms were on the small side but for the most part in good shape (our bathroom could have used a bit of work). The rooms facing the back of the property have a pretty nice view but also lots of noise from the trains. "Little Italy" is a 2 block... more

This was the first accommodation I have booked using Trip Advisor. I was apprehensive after reading all the comments but my experience was a positive one. The hotel is well placed next to Little Italy. I had a 20 min walk to the Conference Centre as expected which was no problem. The staff were very helpful and there were no... more

We stayed here for three nights. The rooms were a bit small but they were clean. The hotel itself was situated in the Italian quarter, so there were a few nice restauants close by. There was also a nice courtyard which led through to a busy italian for breakfast. Some of the staff in there were very nice and some... more

For me, La Pensione was a great hotel. It's cheap ($90) and well located in San Diego's lively Little Italy district, 2 blocks from a trolley stop (and about 6 blocks from the downtown core). There are lots of restaurants and grocery stores within a few blocks. But La Pensione is very basic. It's clean and comfortable enough. There's not... more

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was very convenient to everything I needed and the price was perfect. I was attending a convention at the San Diego Convention center and was able to walk there. It is close to public transportation. The only problem was that the Wi-Fi did not work in the 4th floor rooms. So most... more

We stayed at La Pensione for 1 night post-cruise. We like quirky hotels and La Pensione is very interesting from the outside. The staff were friendly as was Penny the canine greeter! The corridors are very institutional/hostel like. Our room was a good size but with cheap furniture. The bathroom was big. If it has been "re-decorated" as we were... more

The hotel was nice but no good if you have a car. The rooms were the smallest I've ever seen. They were clean though and adequately equipped. The location was great, especially for the price and I had a good nights sleep there. However, as with anywhere in that part of San Diego I was woken up by the train... more

I have to admit I was a bit nervous booking this hotel after reading some of the negative reviews. Although most of the people seemed to be angry about the parking situation and I knew I wouldn't have a car so I decided to check it out. I was in for a convention and this was a perfect spot. It... more

my husband and I stayed here for two nights in March and it was the perfect location and close to the trolley system which can take you anywhere you want to go! It is also 2 blocks from the waterfront and close to the airport and right in the heart of Little Italy, which on a weekend was buzzing with... more
