Just wrapped up my five night stay at the Pensione. I really enjoyed my stay. I felt comfortable, safe, and really appreciated the fact that I could walk everywhere. Staff at the hotel were very friendly, welcoming and kind. I had a Petite Queen room which was definitely small but adequate for one person. There was limited space to put your things: three clothes hangers, a coat hook, but again it was fine for one person traveling with only a small suitcase. The room was clean and provided a safe, a mini fridge, a kettle, coffee, tea, coffee cream, glasses and cups. Housekeeping was available daily. My bed was very comfortable with a soft mattress (which I love) but I noticed the room was a bit dusty. I appreciated the fact that you could open a window slightly for fresh air. Overall, the 7th floor was quiet, despite being right by the elevator. Just the room doors are rather loud when opened/ closed. The location of the hotel is one block away from the CBD. You will notice some people experiencing homelessness in the hotel vicinity, which shocked me a bit when I first arrived, but I felt safe throughout my stay as a female traveling solo. But I also never returned to the hotel later than 8pm. The location of the hotel is perfect and I could walk everywhere. Consider participating in one of the city's free walking tours! Being so close to the CBD, lots of shops, restaurants, supermarkets, cafés in walking distance. I really enjoyed the Japanese restaurant "Jigoro" a few steps from the hotel. I took the airport train ($5.20 one way) to the hotel and got off at McIver Station as instructed by Google Maps. I arrived around 7pm and the station was rather empty and only a small, poorly lit walkway lead to the main streets. It took me a while to find the correct direction and I definitely felt a bit uneasy as some unhoused people hung around nearby. If you arrive after dark and are by yourself, I advise you to get off at Perth Station. It'll take a few minutes longer to reach the hotel but it avoids the dark side streets and you'll be coming through the CBD which is well lit and there'll be people. All in all, I would absolutely stay here again primarily due to the hotel's friendly staff, its warm and cozy atmosphere and its location allowing me to walk everywhere including getting to the airport train.
