Everything was perfectly clean. The front desk staff were very friendly and willing to answer any questions. They ensured I was comfortable for my stay and offered any assistance required. The cleaning staff were always smiling and greeting me. The building is amazing. Not only in a great location but the building itself is historical which means the hallways were... more

We stayed at Pensione Sydney in December 2009. Since we stayed at Pensione Melbourne before goiong to Sydeny, we kinda know what to expect of the hotel. You can't expect much space in a city hotel especially if it is conveniently located like this one. The room was small but enough to get by. In fact, the bathroom was bigger... more

We stayed 2 nights and on entering Reception we felt quite depressed. The hotel needed a good lick of paint and updating. It got worse when we reached our room which was supposed to be a deluxe petit double. Petit it certainly was with no room either side of bed for even a small chest of drawers, therefore having to... more

Chinatown end of the city - on the spot for plenty of good food and shopping- easy walk to the Entertainmment Centre and Darling Harbour. Bus stop right out front- including the free 555 city circuit bus that will get you around town/ down to The Rocks/ Circular Quay. Being handy to Central and Town Hall trains stations, as well... more

no where to put anything in bathroom, room extremely small, room near reception very noisy at night, staff not very friendly. more

I headed into the city for a friends birthday and wanted somewhere close and well priced. We were all very pleased with the Pensione. Right out the front of the hotel is a busstop allowing us to catch the FREE CBD shuttle bus up to the harbour. The hotel was right around the corner from some amazing chinese restaurants, and... more

Loved the location, has the free Green city bus stopping outside the hotel. Room was small but who cares when you can walk barefoot on the carpet and lay on the fluffy white bed without being grossed out, we were on the 3rd Floor and I believe that they have been renovated. Great hotel price on the internet, so so... more

I've stayed at the Pensione many times and I am pretty shocked at all these reviews. The hotel is in a perfect location right in the center of Sydney. And you'd have to be kidding yourself if you didn't expect a little noise when staying in the countries busiest cities. Although I had no problems from the bar below I... more

You have done an amazing decorating job with this old hotel . It was exactly what we needed for our overnight stay, but...it was the noisiest hoel I have ever stayed in in inner sydney. We were in rm 216(I think) and we felt like we were in the middle of a party all night. We could smell cigarette smoke... more
