Room was great, late night staff courteous and helpful BUT the daytime front desk woman mostly engaged with was consistently HORRIBLE with customer service through my long weekend stay. She was all smiles with her colleagues (clearly having fun with them), but facial expression would turn to scowl as soon as a guest walked up. She also avoided engaging with customers as best she could, acted like she was bothered when she did need to engage. You have to wonder why some people would sign up for or be hired for such an important customer-facing position. Leave it to bad customer service to ruin an otherwise pleasant stay.

Wouldn’t stay here again, the ac doesn’t work and when asking for service to fix it, staff members didn’t do anything and said to deal with it. Room service like clean sheets and towels was not expected unless we requested it. The pictures online do not represent what the rooms look like at all.

It was a nice place to stay at due to it being close to gaslamp & other nice restaurants. There had been a power outage when we arrived to check in so that was a bummer. The AC had leaked water all over our clothes. Rooms are definitely small.

Hotel is located at the heart of Little Italy so you get a lot of food and coffee option, farmers market will be right in front of it on Saturdays so it's great if you like shopping for local produce or try new foods. It'll get a bit noisy at night from the nightlife but I had no trouble sleeping, room is clean, but the hotel's layout can get confusing if you are taking the stairs which I recommend since the elevator is slow.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
La Pensione was perfectly located in Little Italy. I loved the walk ability. We could even walk to the bay and relax by the water, buy souvenirs, or visit museums. The hotel was about 10 minutes by car from the airport, so instead of taking an Uber for $45, we caught the city bus from the airport to a place close to the hotel and walked about 10 minutes to the hotel. This was a great experience all by itself. The lobby was chic but our room (418), needed some updates. The view of Little Italy from the room was amazing. I did appreciate bathe number of big bath towels they initially provided knowing that housekeeping is only upon request. I would definitely stay here again.
