“Great Value for money”

Ideally situated for us, close to CBD and Darling Harbour, with good buses down to Circular Quay and the Opera House, Although not to far to walk to anywhere of interest. Room was small, but clean and tidy, and it is a boutique hotel after all. Had a room on the front, but double glazing did it's job and we had two good nights sleep. Lots of places to eat nearby, but the harbour was favourite , for the views. Staff were fantastic, and very helpful. Only downside, being picky, were the carpets and decor being a bit tired. All in all a great stay and well worth the money.

“Perfect for what we wanted”

Great stay, four of us stayed in one of the triple rooms for two nights. It was small but totally what we expected and great value. We just wanted somewhere to sleep that wasn't a full on backpacker hostel. Very central, clean and well looked after. Only annoying thing was that we weren't told that our late checkout of 12 noon that we paid extra for would mean you don't get discount parking but everything else was great.

“Best shower I've ever used in a hotel and excellent split system for temp control”

So impressed with this hotel. We where after a budget stay, so the Pensione was a good option for us. The hotel has been nicely refurbished, room was comfortable and easily accomodated our family of 4's needs for our 3 night stay. The shower was AMAZING, steady, hot, water that was easy to control. None of these crap water saving heads that you spend 3 times as long in because you have to chase the drips of water around. Our room had a split system airconditioner which was fantastic. It allowed us to cool the room down to our prefered temp, especially good for sleeping at night. (last hotel we stayed in was more upmarket but only had evap cooling and the climate control was non existant!!) Rooms where basic, with a bar fridge, and equipment to make coffee/tea. plenty of storage space. Excellent location on Sydney's George Street, only 5 min walk to Darling Harbour precinct, ferry's, monorail station, train station and backing on to Chinatown. Definitely would recommend.

“A great place to stay”

Friendly service was fantastic. Room was exceptionally clean, the bed very comfortable and although the room had limited floorspace, it felt roomy due to high ceilings and large window. Air conditioning was lovely and added to our comfort. Excellent.

“Awesomeness in Sydney's China Town”

This was the second time staying at Pensione Hotel and we had great time. Perfect location for China Town and Darling Harbour means that everything is just a short walk away. There is a bus stop right outside the hotel on George Street so you are able to catch a lot of buses, including the free city bus (555). There is a Westpac bank and ATM just down the road which is great. The hotel staff are friendly and really helpful. There is a shared kitchen and lounge room which has cooking facilities. The hotel shares our views on being eco-friendly so you have the option to choose for your room not to be vacuumed daily and are able to re-use your towels/sheets. All up we have stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks and definitely recommend it.

“Exceptional value; think tiny room, though”

Perfect location in the Chinatown/Hay Market area of Sydney. Able to walk to Darling Harbor. Close to train station for airport transfer. Clean rooms, just tiny. They have a lovely "common area" with newspapers, microwave, dishes & comfortable couches. We would return !

“Beyond expectation”

Daniel and Mark made our vacation memorable. They are so friendly and Knowledgeable. The common area is just great idea where you can chill out have a cocktail or warm up you breakfast.
