I am not sure how this property got such high reviews. It's gotta be the location. After my stay this past weekend, I have to say, that was the only highlight of my stay, the location. Close to great dining options, walkable and we were pleasantly surprised with a farmers market on a Saturday that set up right in front of the hotel. Other than that, all bad. The rooms are smaller than what's pictured. Looks are deceiving. I know it's a boutique hotel but it felt like we were in a box. When we arrived in our room, there was no TV remote. We had to call the front desk to get a remote sent up and that took about 20 minutes. Mind you, this is a 4 floor boutique hotel. The rooms are in need of an upgrade. The carpets are dirty and the restrooms, although clean, were full of rust and water damage on the ceiling of the shower. Likely from years of steam. I also requested body wash since my wife and I ran out. It took them 30 minutes to get me the body wash. When they arrived to deliver it, the gentleman seemed annoyed and said he was sorry. That he was the only one working at the front desk and couldn't get to us any quicker. Overall, I had a poor experience during my stay. Little Italy is a fantastic location to stay in San Diego. But look for another hotel for your stay. The Pensione was a disappointment.

Great location, but noisy on Saturdays

Great location in the heart of Little Italy. So close that on Saturday mornings starting at 6am you can hear the Farmers Market vendors setting up outside. Not fancy but would definitely stay there again!

I love the style of my hotel especially the cafe connected to the property. The room is a bit tight, if I wasn’t by myself. I probably would’ve booked somewhere else for better comfort. It’s the perfect location to try different restaurant in the area & not too far from the harbor for morning jogs or to watch the sunset.

Okay stay

Very friendly staff and convenient location. However some cleanliness issues- when we arrived the front desk staff was attempting to kill a roach near the entrance, there was also a roach in our room one morning. Also no daily cleaning services.

Great location, super comfy bed.

The location is great, tons of restaurants and cafes right outside. The bed is super comfy and while the room is a little small, it does not feel cramped and has everything you would want. The only thing I would call out is the sink is a bit high, if you are on the shorter side it might be difficult to use.

Lovely property in walking distance to a ton of great Little Italy restaurants. The room was small but clean and comfortable. Uber pickup is convenient. The street market on the weekend was a nice place to browse and pick up souvenirs. I would stay here again if I’m in San Diego.

Cute hotel in the heart of Little Italy. The rooms are adequately maintained, you could see dust build-up at the corners of the floors, and behind the furniture. Otherwise, the main room, bathroom and bed were clean. The bed was very comfortable and cozy. The area is highly walkable, with lots of good dining options for most diets, and you won’t have a problem catching a ride share if you don’t have a car. I’d definitely stay again.
