Nice hotel in the heart of little italy. Accros from the finest restaurants and a pub! Room price may be a bit steap, but you have to take in that San Diego is expensive and that you would want a nice, friendly and safe neighbourhood to spent your little get-a-way. We spent 5 nights and enjoyed every minute of it.... More

This hotel is located in Little Italy, San Diego -- one of my most favorite spots to visit. La Pensione is located in the heart of Little Italy. It is walking distance or a train or bus ride to all the hot spots you will want to visit. The hotel rooms are small; yet, quaint and cozy. The only negative... More

The lady at reception was a bit grumpy, but this doesn't matter since this hotel is so well located. Underground car park is handy but not cheap. The rooms are small but functional. Plenty places nearby to eat. The coffee place next door has free wifi so you can piggyback on it. Some hairs found in the shower from the... More

I stayed at La Pensione Hotel because of the great value. This was part of the package that had been offered, but I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem, particularly with the location. It is a small place, but if you do not intend to spend all your time in the room, which I don't, it works. It's in... More

Recently stayed here for 5 nights in March while doing the tourist thing in San Diego. It's a well-priced alternative to the usual expensive San Diego hotels, and extremely well located in the heart of Little Italy - walking distance to almost everything except Old Town. About 15-20min to Horton Plaza and Gastown, good 20-30 min (uphill) to Balboa Park,... More

First of all, if you are in town for a conference forget the $200 hotel and stay here. It's $110 with free wireless internet! What is not to love about that. It is a great part of town with plenty of restaurants and a great vibe. The rooms are small yes--rather European like. But if you are in town for... More

A terrific hotel in a great location. The old adage goes that you get what you pay for - and in accommodation this is very true. But La Pensione delivers more than you expect for the tarrif they charge. A previous reviewer made some mention of a dorm type feel to the place and that is the case. But it's... More

I recently stayed at La Pensione for 4 nights while attending a conference in San Diego. It was a perfectly adequate hotel, though certainly not one of my all-time favorites. La Pensione met all my basic needs: the price was excellent, the hotel is about 3 blocks from the County Center/Little Italy trolley stop, and I thought the surrounding neighborhood... More

We stayed in this hotel last September at the start of our Californian trip. It's in a fantastic spot in Little Italy. The room was clean and had an ensuite bathroom, wardrobe, dressing table, TV and fridge. The staff on the reception were very helpful indeed, especially when it came to advising us where to go and how to get... More
