Love the location in Little Italy and it's also very convenient to public transportation. Climate control was a bit funky so the room was constantly a bit humid. And the automatic light kept turning off while I was in the shower .

Nice Room for One

Had a great experience here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was a little cramped. Hard to navigate with 2 people and our luggage. The room didn't have a full length mirror

This room was right on the main street of Little Italy with a lovely little balcony. I was worried that street noise on a Satuday nite would disrupt my sleep, but slept like a baby on wonderful mattresses. Location cannot be beat. No complaints.

Convenient location for public transportation and dinning spots. Right in the heart of little Italy. Attached to the hotel is a great coffee spot. The room was a decent size for a quick couple night stay. The hotel concierge was very welcoming besides the male with a very dule and rude attitude, besides that every was great!

The property was in a really cool area lots of dining options and cute markets. I didn’t feel like the hotel was as clean as I would’ve wanted it. The bed seem clean, but the carpets were dirty, and the room was kind of dusty. I had to ask for bottles of water. I also saw a bug in the bathroom.

The location is absolutely amazing and the price was fair, but don’t expect a luxury experience—it definitely has more of a motel feel than a hotel. The room was clean, but the walls had noticeable scuff marks, and we heard a loud banging noise each night that seemed to be coming from somewhere in the hotel. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated. A few things to note: they don’t provide beach towels, and housekeeping is only available upon request. If you’re just staying for a quick weekend, it’s fine—but go in with realistic expectations. This is a true 3-star stay.

La Pensione A overpriced cozy hotel

Nice cozy hotel in a lovely location and surroundings, close to all attractions & port. On the flip side the room size was very small and could have been better for the hefty price they are charging. Car parking was additional as usual but was the best option available. Overall nice hotel..but very expensive for its size
