Pensione Hotel Sydney - Haymarket

The bed was hard. I and my husband didn't sleep well. Located was good but located on the main road. Although we stayed in 3 floor, it was noise from the vehicles. We stayed one night. It still acceptable. If you intend to stay few days. Please consider.

This is a hotel to stay in if you are in sydney. Fresh towels, Hot water, clean rooms,spacious toliets and most importantly: friendly hotel stuff and convience to all the tourist attractions. Very worth staying if you are in sydney for 3-4 days

Even though this is an old hotel it is kept in very good condition, has good kitchen and lounge facilities, is very comfortable with very pleasant and helpful staff, also it is so handy to public transport. I would definitely recommend this hotel to a friend.

Uninviting entrance. Dull decor throughout .Room very small for 3 people. Hotel more suited to backerpackers and not suitable for families. Not up to hotel standards

Good budget hotel. Stayed in Pettie Double and it was small, as expected, but it was clean and tidy. Staff friendly and helpful, suggestions for food and activities very good. Location great, close to train station and buses right outside. Lots of good places to eat nearby. Was a bit noisy on Saturday night but that goes with location. Would definitely […] stay again.

The receptionist that checked us in has a bad attitude. The rooms were dim and cluttered. There was no air dryer and the dark hallways and corridoors fail terribly in extending any warm feelings

ii love staying at the sydney pensione for a quick overnight stay. (I am from the country) It is handy to everything, comfortable and clean and has beautiful coffee. thank you. B Denny

The hotel is and older building with narrow hallways. An small elevator can be entered right on George St. There was step up on each level - Fawltey Tower like. Reception is on the first floor (one floor up from ground). Staff werre friendly and helpful. Room was very plain and a bit worn, but clean. Bathroom with shower was a good size. Toiletries, […] a hair dryer, kettle, tea and instant coffe with milk in the fridge were included. Room had a modern flat screen TV. Location was great- a short walk to Darling Harbour , China Town and The Botanic Gardens. A free shuttle took us to Circular Quay. Lots of young people were about, as there are hostels in the area. We walked in the evening and felt completely safe. Lots of places to eat and sit and watch passersby. Not fancy , but good value for the price in the CBD Læs mere

A basic hotel with a good vibe in a CBD location which still managed to be reasonably quiet & comfy. The family room we stayed in was quite large.

We're 2 young men from Denmark who stayed our first night in Sydney at the Pensione Hotel after a very long flight. We we're satisfied with the condition of the room and especially the toilet and bath-facilities. Nothing to put a finger on, and we would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Great hotel, location and service of the staff. would definitely stay again.

Location - short walk to Darling Harbour, Paddy's Market & Chinatown; Coles supermarket across the road; about 10-15mins walk to Pitt Street/Westfields shopping area; 45mins walk to the Opera house; short walk from Town Centre metro station. Staff - Lovely :) Petit Double room - small as expected, clean, spacious shower. Bed - Small! And I'm vertically […] challenged at 5ft, my feet stuck out at the ends?! There's a kitchen/communal area with laundry facilities $3 a load. Læs mere

location is really great,the staff is nice as well.the room is quiet small but the price is reasonable.

The hotel is ideally located for first-timers who want to be close to everything. The room is immaculate! This we truly appreciated as I am particular about the cleanliness and smell of the restroom. I was pleasantly surprised. The bathroom was recently remodeled. Yes, it is small but that goes with the price. It is an old building. Some refurbishing […] would useful to enliven the place. Overall, great for the money! Læs mere

- location is great, central Sydney, Chinatown - we had room 406 which was a great spacious room with a small kitchen in it - at the 3rd night our lock of the room didn't work anymore and we where transferred to a smaller room - we could return to 406 after the lock was repaired - we got a late checkout for free and after asking a free Internet voucher […] (which should we free always (and in every hotel)) - unfortunately the Internet wifi on the 4th floor didn't work, on lower floors it did - good beds - nice shower - great atmosphere, nicely renovated old building - taxi to airport 35 - 40 Australian dollars Læs mere

Room very small, no closet space, clean, bathroom is decent size. Located in chinatown area. Not a bad place but certainly not great.

Like a back-packers hotel. Very basic. Our bedroom looked down on a Chinese "restaurant" at which people ate and talked all night long. Wardrobe, but no hangers. Windows sealed shut with secondary glazing. Not sure if this is legal.

we had a comfortable stay,good bed ,got upgraded on arival to a double bed from 2 singles,all polite and welcoming,on ground is a bar to watch sport and a good little chineese food eatery convenient and tasty. short walks to central station and darling harbour.

The hotel was conveniently located and the staff were great. We stayed in the deluxe refurbished rooms which was lovely. However on our last night, there was a cockcroach in our room and in the other room that we occupied.

Fairly convenient location but tiny room. Room contained a bed and bedside table and barely any room to open luggage and still move around. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Strategic location, closeby Chinatown, convenient to walk or take a bus out of the city. Very accessible to food and shops within minutes of walk. Excellent service and cleanliness.

I found the hotel very nice, with a comfortable room for my mother who enjoyed the stay. Good to have lift access for her. A nice communal lounge/kitchen area above a really good Thai takeaway was convenient and atmospheric. Service was polite and prompt, and very friendly all round. WE would be happy to return there on our next Sydney trip.

Its a little cramped, the rooms are tiny but it has been recently refurbished and is ok for the prices they charge.

My mother and I came to Sydney for a couple of nights to see a concert at the Opera House and loved our stay at the Pensione.The room was great and the location was unbeatable!

This is a small hotel w/ reception upstairs. Somewhat hard to find be/c the signs are small. Great location in Chinatown but surrounding area is a little seedy. But it's right on the bus line, just a few blocks from Darling Harbour, a McDonalds in around the corner for free wi-fi, and Paddys Market is just down the street. The room was very clean, but […] VERY small. Great bed, nice shower, and very helpful/friendly staff. Overall, a great find in very expensive Sydney. Læs mere

reasonable price, very convient location and a clean environment.

The room was an upgrade and was very small.The service was wonderful. The shower in the small bathroom had a half glass wall and the water splashed onto the floor. The heater did not work well to keep the room as warm as we would have liked.

I was nervous staying somewhere that no one had recommended to me. I was just going by the positive reviews. However, I am here to say definitely dont hold back in staying there. The location is walkable to all the tourist sightsee's. Yes the room was small but they say good things come in small packages! It was easy to swallow with all the other p […] ositives. Læs mere

This very cute, centrally located (in downtown) boutique hotel is a fantastic opportunity to not spend a fortune and still get a very nice room - if you get a renovated one. Upon checking in we were told that we received a complimentary upgrade - so I was excited - until I got to the room. It was a very, very small room with an even smaller bathroom. […] The room was very dark (inner courtyard) and the overhead lighting was poor at best. The carpet was very old looking and overall the room was depressing. I didn't think that we were going to be able to manage a whole week in these conditions, but since we booked (and pre-payed) with Hotels.com there wasn't much that I could do about it. The short story is that the hotel would have to "let us get out of the contract" with hotels.com with a written letter or email and that wasn't a road that I really wanted to venture down. So instead, we suffered through one night and then spoke to the manager on duty the next morning seeking to move to a more suitable room. The manager (even though she was working alone) took a few minutes to show us another room - which was very beautiful and newly renovated - a much better option. We spent the next 5 nights feeling very comfortable in our new room with every detail taken care of. The staff is amazingly accommodating and pleasant - they even learned our first names after a day or so. Very personable touch. The place is very quiet, there's a guest lounge with a kitchen and refrigerator and there's access to internet - which is a little expensive and kinda slow - but there's a ton of internet cafes right around the corner - so no big deal. The neighborhood is a little busy but within walking distance to Central Station, there is a bus stop right out front on George (free bus, too) and it's right around the corner from The Patty Markets where you can get all your Australia souvenirs for about 80% less than all the "souvenir shops" around town. I would not hesitate to stay here again - pro Læs mere

My daughter and I spent two nights in this hotel in Sydney. The staff was friendly and helpful and made us feel welcomed. Our room was small, but clean and the shower had plenty of hot water. The hotel was nicely decorated and was a great value for a city hotel. Staying on George Street was a perfect spot to start our sightseeing adventures. Would definately […] recommend it to friends visiting from the states. Læs mere

We were very pleased with the Pensione. Our flight got in at 9:30 AM that morning and they let us check in early, even upgrading us for free when our room wasn't ready. Everything was clean and comfortable, *especially* for the price - the best we found in town. The only thing we would change is the charges for internet (funny pricing structure) and […] phone calls (confusing). Otherwise, we would definitely stay here again. Læs mere

This took a while to get used to the layout, which is spread between (at least) two buildings, with multiple elevators going different places, and need to leave the hotel to go from one room to another. However, it all made sense, and the staff was gracious in providing assistance. The main plus here is the location - four short blocks to the central […] train station, and a city bus stop right outside the hotel. Læs mere

enjoyed our stay, had a little trouble with the lift keys

As I stated in a previous hotel review for the same business trip that took me to both Sydney and Melbourne over 8 days, I'm a seasoned business traveler, and I'm only looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay. I'm not looking for extravagance. While the Pensione in Sydney was Fantastic, the hotel in Melbourne was the worst hotel experience I've […] ever had. Thankfully, after spending the first three days in Sydney at the Pensione, three horrible days in Melbourne, I was happy to come back to one last day in Sydney at the Pensione before flying out the next morning. Now keep in mind, this is not a fancy hotel by any means. But the staff could not have been nicer, more accommodating, or more helpful. The rooms are very basic. Large clean beds, large bathrooms, even in the smallest rooms, but a fridge and freezer plus coffee maker in the room, as well as cable TV. Both rooms were well ventilated but also had great AC & Heating systems. But again, I choose two basic rooms, which at half the cost that I spent on the Melbourne hotel that was rated 4 starts, this hotel was luxury compared to the hotel I stayed in in Melbourne. This hotel is right on the main strip on George Street. And it's the third stop off the train from the Airport (Central Station). That's a total of 9 minutes on the train from the airport, then just a two minute walk from the station about 4 blocks. I'll be honest, the numbering on the buildings made a bit trying at first to find it. Plus it's in a very classic old building that you don't expect a hotel to be in. The signage could be a bit bigger. They should just advertise its next to the Charlie Chan's bar, what appears to be a famous bar in town. You are right across from a huge shopping center, and just a very inexpensive bus or train ride away from the Sydney Harbor, The Opera House and Botanical Gardens. And if you do as I did, and purchase a 1 week rail pass at the airport for $59.00, you can ride any train, bus or ferry as many times a Læs mere

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and found it very central with the free bus stop just outside the hotel. The staff on reception were more than happy to offer advice with what tours to do. Our room was very modern and clean with large shower. Would stay here again and have no problem recommending this fab hotel.

Pensione is a a terrible hole in the wall hotel. If you like yourself, your money, and want to have a nice time, DO NOT SAY AT PENSIONE! You'll be lucky if the toilet works properly and if your bed is made, not to talk about cleanliness and cocroach free room. The service people are rude. We didn't get the room we orderd, and then the bed wasn't made, […] so we called the front desk, and the lady came upstairsw and bitched about making the bed whiole she was pregnant. Then we went away for one night and came back, and again we asked for a room iwth two twin beds, and got only one bed, and had to switch. At night the fire alarm went off and then for the next 2 hours the manager said on the loud speakrws that it was a false alarm. Can't get any worse, even that George hotel accross the street with shared bathrooms is better. I didn't believe all the bad comments about this ploace, I thought the rooms were only small, but that was the least of the problems. When we checked out the manager gave us a long speech about how rude we wer to the staff, eventhough we told him we were in a hurry to catch a plane. Læs mere

The rooms are so small, my friend stayed at room 113 and even did not have a closet. He had to hang his clothing on the wall. I stayed on the 2nd floor, it is a little better than the first level. Anyway, I can only give 1 star or no star.

Better than expected service at check-in as my wife and I had arrived at about 8.45 am after 23 hours flying from the UK and they got a room ready for us by 9.30 am! Excellent service and much appreciated as we were, naturally, extremely tired. Rooms are not particularly large but adequate for a city break as, after all, surely you do not spend a lot […] of time in your room? The room was kept clean and the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Læs mere

The hotel is ideally located in Sydney city centre and close to all the major attractions. Our stay was made all the better by the excellent staff in the Hotel. The only negative was the actually size of the rooms which were a little on the small size. Again we would highly recommend a stay in this Hotel.
