“Looking for a dirty hotel?”

Reviewed May 24, 2013 NEW

If you are looking for an ugly, dirty hotel you found the right place: airs everywhere on the carpet, bed linen not fresh and last time they cleaned the windows was during the Olympics Games in Sydney. The bathrooms are the smallest in town and the sink measure 30 x 20 cm: even when you wash your teeth you have... More

“Alright for a simple room”

Reviewed May 19, 2013 NEW

The Pensione in Melbourne is the perfect space for when you just really need a bed and a bathroom somewhere in the city. The service staff were very welcoming and made sure that all my needs were taken care of. Rooms were reasonably well appointed although the size of the bathrooms left a lot to be desired. Also, there was... More

“Very charming, excellent location”

Reviewed May 14, 2013

Stayed for 2 nights in May 13. Valued for money, charming modern hotel housed in an old building. Very courteous and helpful staff. We were upgraded to a 'bigger room' facing Spencer Street on the highest level, i.e. 4th level. The room itself looks new, clean and comfortable. However, the toilet and bathroom is extremely small. Wi-fi is NOT FREE,... More

“Overrated”

Reviewed May 11, 2013

I needed to find a cheap city-based hotel to stay just for one night and selected this hotel based on its location and some of the reviews I read. I wasn't expecting much because of the price but even then, the Pensione was a bit of a disappointment. I was given a tiny room on the first floor which had... More

“Second visit does not disappoint”

Reviewed May 4, 2013

This was a second visit to the Pensione. Once again, comfort, cleanliness, location, value and the friendly and helpful staff made it a very pleasant stay. My only problem on my first stay was that I needed another blanket, so, on this occasion, I asked in advance for this and it was efficiently attended to. The bathroom was sparkling clean,... More

Stayed in this hotel for our trip to Melbourne. The location of the hotel is fantastic - on the corner of Spencer St with a tram stop just round the corner. A 7 eleven is nearby for snacks and drinks which you can keep in the fridge supplied. The hotel was stylish and our standard double room "round the back"... More

“Great value”

This hotel has a lot going for it - great location (easily walkable from Spencer St Station), clean, friendly, helpful staff, and whilst the rooms are very small, they are tastefully furnished and very comfortable - the bed is to die for.
