“Personal touch - much appreciated”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

Return trip to the Pensione - it's in a great location, not far from Central Station (making it super easy to get to from the airport) and close to great dining options like Thai Town, China Town and the like. Plenty of pubs nearby too. My friend and I traveled up for a half marathon and were left a note... More

“Cool inner city hotel”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Right on George St, with Chinatown at its back, this is a super little inner city hotel, small but pretty well formed. Cool rooms , excellent guest lounge and great service for what is a fairly cheap hotel. Excellent value for money. Just stayed for a second time, and it was perfect for my two night stay.

Thank you so much for your kind review of the Pensione Hotel Sydney, it seems that you know your way around the city so we will have to share some of our favourite places next time you are in...

“Worth a try”

Reviewed 15 May 2013

We stayed at this hotel for a night. Staffs were very helpful and room was satisfactory. Location is very convenient as jst a few steps from the pickup point for Sydney Tourist Free Shuttle & located at central of CBD.

Dear CutieShu, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback.

“Great Things Come in SMALL Packages”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

If 8 Hotels isn't Australia's coolest small hotel group, I'm dying to see who is!? Pensione Sydney is almost as good as Pensione Melbourne (except, clearly it's in Sydney) I must first state, I like little hotel rooms, I don't want any excuse to hang around a hotel room while on holiday. Having said that, I love stylish, well thought... More

“could not have been better”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

The Pensione Hotel in Sydney delivers exactly what it promises, and then gives you just a little bit more for good measure. I had booked one of the petite rooms, which was cosy as the name suggests but was clean and neat and exactly what I'd paid for - no complaints. After a minor request could not be resolved by... More

Dear Claire C, I would like to apologise for there being an issue with the bed in the first place, however thrilled to read that the team was able to find you an alternative solution that was equally, if not more comfortable than the last. While only a small team at the Pensione, we do pride ourselves on the service... More

“Good Value”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

You get what you pay for with the Pensione. It's well located. the petite rooms are very small but ideal for a single person. The bed is comfortable, bathroom clean and functional and it basically meets the basic needs of a quick visit to Sydney on the cheap. the staff were also very friendly.

Dear Dania V, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. It is always great to see when a guest enjoys their stay at the Pensione, so please ensure you contact us directly next time you are in Sydney as we love to see familiar faces! sydney@pensione.com.au More

“Value for not much money”

Reviewed 22 April 2013 via mobile

The negative reviews of this place miss the point. This is NOT the Hyatt or the Shangri-La, but it does not profess to be. If you want a luxury experience, with the cost that entails, don't stay here. But if you want an adequate, clean bed in the centre of town for a very low price, near transport to everywhere,... More
