Downtown Little Italy

The hotel is in a great spot for everything Little Italy. Parking in the garage is a bit pricey $35 a night.

Charming and Convenient Stay in Little Italy

I recently stayed at La Pensione Hotel for a solo trip and couldn’t have been more pleased. It’s a small boutique hotel with a lot of character—clean, cozy, and full of charm. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Little Italy, with great restaurants, coffee shops, and public transit just steps away. The room was compact but, perfect for a couple of nights. The price was very reasonable for the area, especially considering how central it is. It felt like a hidden gem—comfortable, welcoming, and a great value. I’d absolutely stay here again.
Juan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, friendly staff, older hotel.

Good location in Little Italy close to public transport, very friendly reception staff, and relatively quiet room. However, furniture and hotel are older and need some maintenance.

Birthday Vacation

I loved the unique hotel as well as the location in little italy in San Diego. It was a small type of boutique hotel vibe feeling. Overall great experience.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location, but could use some improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located in a fun area of the city, but rooms are very small and lacking much storage. Shower was very small and difficult to maneuver inside, and hot water was unavailable one day.

Perfect location!

Perfect location right in the heart of little Italy. My queen room was quaint but did the job. Mini fridge was nice to have and bed was comfy. Staff was very accommodating, was my second stay here and I’d definitely stay again!

We really loved staying in Little Italy and found the hotel to be perfect for our needs. Our room was upgraded as we were celebrating a birthday and the room was good. The staff were really helpful and the English bar cross the road was enjoyable in the evenings.

Great location

Room was good but carpet were not clean. Edges or carpets had not seen a vacuum in a long time . Let the room down. No tea or coffee in room. Great area to stay.

A Comfortable Stay

Location was great; room was small but comfortable and quiet. Front staff was friendly and helpful. We liked that the housekeeping policy (no room cleaning except a "refresh" if requested) was clearly indicated, so we knew what to expect. Personally, we really like to have breakfast included at the hotel, so not having that was a minus for us, even though we were surrounded by restaurants.

Location is awesome

The hotel is literally steps away fromthe Little Italy sign. Restaurants surround you. Amazing view of the bay as well. Rooms are small but the bed was very comfy. Lovely atrium and a coffee shop are downstairs.
