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.

Great boutique hotel in the heart of Little Italy. Just steps away from cafes, rooftop bars and lounges, and some of the best Italian restaurants. The hotel staff were friendly and professional. The rooms were small but decent and could benefit from some upgrades and renovations.
At cafe Italia.

The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere when you walk in is very pretty. The rooms are small, but I didn’t mind. I did think the room cleanliness could be higher since there was dust in the corners of the room… but the bed and bathroom were very clean. The location is prime and walking distance from many amazing restaurants. Overall, a great stay!
