La Pensione Hotel is truly in the heart of Little Italy - and that brings both good and bad. The Good: - Very nice building that, although a bit dated, is surrounded by an excellent selection of restaurants as well as Wed/Sat farmers markets - A few blocks from the Trolley and a bit further from downtown and Santa Fe Depot The Bad: - Across the street from Coco Maya, which plays loud music late into the night - Air inside rooms can be very dry In general, I'd categorize my stay as pleasant during the day and awful at night. I was sleep deprived every single night due to noise continuing past 1 AM, a hard mattress, and the dry air. In addition, whenever I came back to the hotel, because my room faced the sun it was always 10 degrees hotter inside than in the hallway and very dry. But the staff were friendly, the location is otherwise excellent as a base for exploring San Diego, and although I probably wouldn't stay here again (just because of the aforementioned sleeping issues), if you're staying during the week and are able to avoid Friday and Saturday nights, this is a great spot with FANTASTIC brunch and dinner options just across the street.

Located right in the middle of Little Italy, plenty of dining options. The area was very lively over the weekend. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

I've stayed here several times while doing business in San Diego. Staff helpful and friendly. Café with good coffee and bagels attached. Great location in the heart of Little Italy. Great Uber service. Meets my needs for several days or a week.

Really not good. But it is smack in the middle of Little Italy. Staff were very nice/friendly but does not make up for the mediocre room.

Ideal location. Reasonably priced. Perfect home base if your plans are to be very active during your stay in SD and only need a hotel room to shower and sleep in.

Amazing property! Convenient and in the heart of Little Italy. Perfect for dinner options, desserts, drinks and music. The only issue is the parking. It’s $35 a day and absolutely horrible. Limited with small spaces and just a mess. Do parking research beforehand or use a ride share option when in town.

The location is fantastic, especially as we only had planned a short visit to SD. Lots to do and eat within walking distance and otherwise very conveniently located (Balboa Park and the Airport were quick rides). The room was comfortable and clean. The bed and shower were great. It was a bit noisy in the evening but that’s a worthy trade-off to be so central. The only ‘negative’ was that the whole room became unusually humid and warm after a shower. For the price though, I’ll come back here without a doubt if I travel back to SD someday.
