Hotel in Chinatown

Pensione Hotel is a small hotel that does not have a hotel shuttle from airport. It's best to take a taxi from the airport and take the O'Riordan street and not the highway because it's more expensive. The hotel is in the middle of Chinatown which is great for walking to restaurants. The reception is on the 1st floor so stay on ground level to use the elevators but the hotel is so tiny and circled and even if you take elevators there are still so many stairs to take so be aware of that. The rooms are so tiny and so are the hallways but I really enjoyed it. We traveled to Melbourne and New Zealand and stayed at other hotels although they were larger, we missed Pensione Hotel the best. We got there early and check in is still 14:00 but it was already ready for us so that was a nice bonus. They had enough towels for all of us, unlike other hotels.

stayed three nights (Aug. 2010)

stayed three nights (Aug. 2010) in triple deluxe room which was very comfortable. Guests lounge with lockers was very handy for guest arriving early and departing late in the day. Free Green CBD bus at the door made getting around easy. Thoroughly recommend this Hotel for long or short stays.

My daughter and I stayed at Pensione

My daughter and I stayed at Pensione in Sydney-we found it very comfortable and clean, the room and bathroom were very small but all we needed the reception staff were very helpful and the location was just great. Would definitely stay again for the price it was terrific. Reminded me of Paris!!

Great location. Lift very slow, was easier to walk up the stairs to level one that wait for the lift, except for when I had my luggage. Small room, but that wasn't a problem, there was only me and I only needed a bed and bathroom.

For a short stay reasonably priced

For a short stay reasonably priced and near to the heart of Sydney this was a good choice of clean and reasonable accommodation. Noise at night can be disconcerting but didn't feel scared. Shower in the afternoon was only luke warm recommend showering in morning.

It was a pretty good location, close to Chinatown, Central and Capitol Theatre where we went to catch Wicked. The rooms were nicely refurbished with a huge television. Would stay again.
