Bottom Line

Located on the fringe of the Chinatown district, this upper-middle-range, 72-room boutique has a historic facade and modern interiors. Each of the 68 rooms are small but clean and filled with character; they feature crisp white bedding, whimsical prints, and flat-screen TVs. Sleek bathrooms offer stall showers complete with rainforest showerheads. One big perk here is the guest lounge with comfy seating, a small kitchenette, computers for guest use, vending machines, and laundry facilities. It's a small property, so guests shouldn't expect much else in the way of amenities.

Oyster Hotel Review

1831 Boutique Hotel

Location

In the Central Business District, within walking distance of Chinatown and Town Hall

Pensione Hotel is just outside of Chinatown in the central business district of Sydney. It is within walking distance of shops, bars, restaurants, and several popular sights. An extra bonus about the location is the fact that the George Street free shuttle going to Sydney Harbour picks up just outside the door.

Sydney is Australia's most populous city and its cultural hub. Festivals, theater, fashion, and a famous opera house can all be found here, along with the retail and restaurants that naturally accompany them. The weather is excellent, with an average of 300 sunny days a year, and beaches are within a short drive from the city center.
