My husband's and my introduction to La Pensione was through his work several years ago and we instantly became hooked. We were there 'pre-renovation' and we loved it then and since the renovation even more so. The rooms are contemporary in design and we loved our last room with a balcony overlooking the Little Italy strip. Mark and the entire... More

Mark, Javier and the rest of the staff at La Pensione were really great to deal with. They answered any and all questions we had, helped find some places of interest. Very accommodating people and always a smile! The hotel itself was quite cozy and well decorated. Little Italy is a great area to stay in, we felt very safe... More

We used this literally as a place to lay our heads. Decidedly average in every respect. Our friends were given a room with a balcony that overlooked a coffee shop that couldn't even fit one person. Fine for visiting San Diego but don't go if you expect any form of luxury or comfort.

Over 3 nights we had about 6 different people on reception and without exception were all excellent. The room whilst being smaller than others was decorated and kitted out in superb style and was exceptionally clean. The hotel also has underground car parking as San Diego is surprisingly big you need a car. If you like an Italian feel this... More

My wife and I enjoy San Diego. This hotel had a friendly staff who cared about our stay. Parking was convenient. Cell phone service was very good throughout our stay. We slept well and did not hear noise in the hallways.

Super location, just off the freeway as you come into San Diego and easy to find. Very modern decor in rooms with a great rain shower. Some of the other reviews talk about the room size; our room was more like a European double rather than US sizes for even a Queen room. But as they say "Location is everything".... More

I have waited a while to write a review as I wanted to make sure I was as neutral as possible. Let me address the management of the hotel first... It is family owned and operated.. hence the very cute dog that sits on the furniture in the lobby. My husband and I go to Little Italy for a light... More

La Pensione is a delight and its location next to the Little Italy street sign means you are close to some wonderful Italian restaurants and the tourist trolley stop is very close.The rooms are not large but beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. I was in room 403 with good views from the windows and it was very... More
