La Dolce Vita

This darling little hotel in the heart of Little Italy made me think I really was in Italy. The room was small, but efficient. The bathroom was updated with a nice stone tiled shower. The linens were soft and the pillows were comfortable. There is a sweet little outdoor courtyard adjacent to the lobby and the Italian coffee shop. This stay was a win.

Downtown Little Italy

The hotel is in a great spot for everything Little Italy. Parking in the garage is a bit pricey $35 a night.

Great location, friendly staff, older hotel.

Good location in Little Italy close to public transport, very friendly reception staff, and relatively quiet room. However, furniture and hotel are older and need some maintenance.

Charming and Convenient Stay in Little Italy

I recently stayed at La Pensione Hotel for a solo trip and couldn’t have been more pleased. It’s a small boutique hotel with a lot of character—clean, cozy, and full of charm. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Little Italy, with great restaurants, coffee shops, and public transit just steps away. The room was compact but, perfect for a couple of nights. The price was very reasonable for the area, especially considering how central it is. It felt like a hidden gem—comfortable, welcoming, and a great value. I’d absolutely stay here again.
