We had a wonderful weekend stay at Zindel in Little Italy. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and welcoming. The gentleman at the front desk went above and beyond by helping carry our bags up the stairs, which we truly appreciated. The stocked fridge in the common area was such a thoughtful touch, especially the cold bottled waters that were very much needed. The location is perfect: walking distance to Little Italy and all the amazing restaurants, yet the hotel itself remained quiet and peaceful despite being fully booked. Our room was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was calm and relaxing. The staff was incredibly responsive and easy to reach, especially when we accidentally locked our keys in the safe. Housekeeping was also on site and very helpful when we requested extra towels. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend Zindel.

If you are looking for a great hotel in San Diego, look no further. Hotel Zindel is a great place to stay. Conveniently located in Little Italy, just walking distance to great restaurants like Filippi’s and Landini’s. The hotel has a modern vibe and very clean. Upon entering, you are immediately greeted by a spacious lobby with ample seating areas. Near the lobby, they have another warm reception area with a full coffee bar, snacks and drinks available for guests to enjoy. The rooms are very modern and spacious equipped with everything that you need to make your stay comfortable. The beds and pillows were very soft luxurious. The location of the hotel feels very safe even at night. We are a family with small kids and we felt comfortable walking around the surroundings and exploring the beauty of Little Italy. I highly recommend Hotel Zindel when visiting San Diego!

Stayed here for 4 days through New Years! Highly recommended. I read some negative reviews on this place and felt they were way off and were based on some assumptions. They communicate extremely well and promptly through the stay and the reservation process! I booked the Classic/Modern King with its own private bathroom. They have communal options, but would highly suggest the private bathroom. They do have an attended/at the front desk until 11pm. They are very helpful! Just like anything, read and ask questions to avoid any misunderstandings while booking. This place was perfect! Brooklyn was amazing!!

First time staying here, and it was an amazing experience. We are normally used to large chain hotels and were not sure what to expect. From the moment you arrive, the service is second to none, and the attention to detail does not go unnoticed. All of the staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and truly focused on making your stay as pleasant as possible. The accommodations are comfortable and clean. Lastly, the location is perfect, within walking distance of many great bars and restaurants.

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Zindel. The location in Little Italy is perfect – we walked everywhere for dinner, drinks, and exploring the neighborhood. The hotel itself feels like a chic little hideaway: beautifully designed rooms, super clean, and really comfy beds. The self check-in and keyless entry were so easy, and any time we had a question the virtual concierge team was quick to respond via text. The courtyard with the fire pits and the common area with the pool table and coffee/snack station were a huge plus – we spent our evenings hanging by the fire, playing pool, and then heading out for food and cocktails just a few blocks away.  Whether you’re visiting from out of town or doing a local staycation with friends, I’d 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish, hassle-free spot in Little Italy.

We had the best time here! My sister came from out of town and I'm local to san diego, so this was the perfect staycation for me. Everything was so centrally located and walking distance to everything in Little Italy! The service was exceptional and the room was gorgeous. We would highly recommend this spot to tourists or anyone wanting a fun staycation in san diego. Also love that it's pet friendly! Definitely recommend!

had a wonderful 2-night stay! The hotel has a fresh feel with new renovation, and Lyn and the team here is genuinely friendly and helpful. When I had a noise issue with my first room, the staff responded promptly and moved me to a new one right away, which I really appreciated. The location is also fantastic—super convenient for getting around. Overall, a great experience and I’d happily stay again!

Great location in bustling Little Italy. Walking distance from Saturday farmers market, and near eveything, with shopping galore! Great atmosphere and cool vibes, wonderful people! I love the independent check in and check out processes. The team does a great job staying connected and meeting even the slightest need promptly. Decor is trendy and artistic. Highly recommended for a fun getaway.

This is a hostel not a hotel, like others I misinterpreted due to the name. Location is convenient. Room was clean. Bathroom is communal. There's a nice fire pit and waterfall area when you enter. Wasn't a bad stay, wasn't what I thought it would be.

If you are visiting San Diego, you need to check out the hotel Zinder It has a modern fun vibe, spacious rooms, and contactless check in! Hotel Zindel is right in the heart of little Italy with a short walk to all the best restaurants. We checked out @buonappetitogroup for dinner and @loftycoffeeco for breakfast, and it was all walking distance from the hotel! Come check out Hotel Zindel for your next vacation!

My boyfriend and I recently spent a weekend at Hotel Zindel in Little Italy, San Diego. Although I wasn't initially informed about the shared bathroom arrangement, we were pleasantly surprised to find that each unit had its own bathroom. However, we would have preferred a room with a private bathroom. Communication with the hotel was electronic, and we received a code for our room, which was convenient, but some guests experienced issues with getting locked out. Our room was spacious, clean, and had a comfortable bed. The only drawback was the lack of a vending machine for water or snacks, but fortunately, there's a 7-Eleven nearby.

Stayed here this past weekend, Place is more like an Airbnb they give you access code for the main gate and your room itself. You have a shared bathroom with all the other units just depending on your unit which I wasn't aware about and made my stay pretty uncomfortable. The main door to enter to your units is ridiculously loud. You can hear it slam and shake your door all night, it woke us up all night. The Room over all is pretty small just your bed and mini fridge and miniature sink for your hands. It was a nice room but I don't think I'll stay here again.

Not a hotel. This is a hostel. Terrible customer service. Do not book here. I canceled right when we got there due to the dirty shared bathroom and you have to code in to every door. I'm mean every door. I asked about my refund and they said I have to get it from the booking company. The booking company said I have to get it back from them. Total bs from the get go. Do yourself a favor and never stay here

Do not book this hotel! They will sell your room and then try to upsell you. I booked through Expedia. The day of my arrival I was told they sold my bed but they could give me another for a higher price. Scam!!!

Hostel not a hotel. Read the fine print. Room was great (although we moved as the first one faced a brick wall with no daylight), with soft sheets and a comfy bed. We didn't have a sink like someone else did. We had a shared bathroom. That's a hostel, not a hotel.
