Hotel Zindel

I stayed at Hotel Zindel during Comic Con weekend and had an absolute blast! The location couldn’t have been better—it’s right in the heart of downtown, which made getting to and from the convention super convenient. The hotel itself was clean, stylish, and had great energy all weekend long. The housekeepers were so friendly and always greeted me warmly. A big shoutout to Stephanie at the front desk she was a total sweetheart and incredibly accommodating. She made everything feel so welcoming and easy. only downside is no parking and limited snacks but overall great stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. It was a prime location in the Little Italy area of San Diego and we enjoyed walking to dinner, the farmer’s market and the game at the baseball stadium. This is the perfect place for the right visitor. We had a great conversation with Rich, who let us know that the hotel was recently renovated and he asked for our input on what they could do better. It was nice to see that they care about the opinions and want to improve. We let him know that there was a glitch in the process because we booked the hotel through a third-party that they haven’t had a lot of traffic from, so we didn’t receive our codes to enter the hotel. He let us know he would work to solve that issue. When we arrived, we called the number listed and originally no one answered. We received a text that they were sorry they missed our call and asked how they could help. The staff was able to assist us and we enjoyed our stay. The shared common areas are beautifully modern and they had some simple breakfast items to grab on the go (oatmeal, fruit, pre-packaged pastries, etc.) Please be aware that not all of the rooms have their own bathroom, but when you have a shared bathroom, you have your own code to access the bathroom, one person at a time. The floor felt a little dirty and the provided toiletries were watered down but got the job done. Please also be aware that there is no parking designated to this hotel, but we did not have any issues finding parking along the nearby streets at no cost. I loved that there were quiet hour signs posted and it was relatively quiet other than the closing of hotel doors and the downtown traffic sounds. They provided ear plugs and white noise machines which definitely were a plus. The location, atmosphere, and general cleanliness of this hotel made it the best option in this location for its price point.

Hotel Zindel is an amazing and convenient spot, especially if you're looking to stay near little Italy. it's a smaller hotel, but very comfortable and cozy but has no parking. everyone was great, but Stephanie at the front desk was wonderful! she was super friendly, welcoming and went out of her way to help us get settled into our room. Highly recommend!

Perfect European style hotel. It was strange at first, to become accustom to tech sign in for the hotel, rooms and bathroom, but once I got used to it, it was fine. Stephanie and Emily were fantastic, and you were responsive to all communications. Cleaners were also friendly. Nicely appointed rooms. Lived the outdoor patio. Reasonable price. Bathroom and shower clean and updated. Fridge in the room was nice touch too. Saw others enjoyed the billiards and mini kitchen. within a five minute walk to everywhere I wanted to be. Definitely will stay here again and recommend two friends

Overall, it's GREAT VALUE and amazing for a hostel. It's just okay if you're expecting a "hotel." This is one of those Top Chef moments where a chef gets too creative, names something everyone knows and understands something else fancier, and creates misaligned expectations. So, no matter how great that thing is, it's not what the consumer is expecting, creating confusion or, worse, disappointment. It's not a hotel in the traditional definition; it's a superb hostel, featuring private rooms and a few shared bathrooms amongst you and your closest 40 friends. The good: *It's a 5-star hostel that's well thought out *It has excellent design and feels retro, but also fresh and new *lots of nice touches and extras, especially in the common areas, such as free designer coffee and usable communal spaces *The beds are super comfortable. They managed to get king-sized beds in small rooms without making it feel impossibly small. The bad: *The bathroom floors are gross, which is the last thing you want to share with others. Although, I think it's just stained tiles; they looked grossly dirty. * There are no desks for working in the rooms, other than a long row in the common areas upstairs, which creates a lot of extra noise if people are working or talking on their phones in the halls. *It is loud when people are in the hallways or common areas. Overall, I would recommend it. If you like the hostel experience, then you will LOVE it here.

The room was super cute. The vibes were everything! We were in a suite so there was a living and kitchenette. Had friends over for games and drinks and they loved the room too. Think luxury hipster chic. The fire pits welcome gathering and meeting new folks since it is a mixed unit property (hostel style and private suites).Close to many attractions, restaurants, and lounges. Appreciated the contactless check in. Only issue was no on-site parking, kinda crazy for this area. Would def stay here again .

The hotel itself was really a treat. Our room looked good, if a bit tight with a king bed in it. The bed was comfortable, the sound machine and earplugs were helpful, and the shower was lovely. Breakfast was not impressive, consisting of just prepackaged pastries or oatmeal and some apples, oranges and Keurig coffee. But the staff was really helpful when our TV remote needed a fix. Our only major problem was finding parking where we could stay overnight. We ended up finding indoor parking about 10 minutes away that cost $50 for 15 hours of parking, so we ended up paying $150 to park. There was uncoverd parking closer, but the app they used never could recognize the lot we were parked in or were limited to 6 hours. We ended up moving our car 5 times before we found the 15 hour option. We had to add time 3 times during our stay. The hotel location was excellent if you like Little Italy or want to go to the Maritime Museum and see the ships. Overall, we really liked the hotel and our visit! It is a unique hotel with old time charm but modern amenities.

Great and convenient location. Amenities were great. No 24 hour agent or housekeeping on-site but when service is needed, comunicating with the hotel staff via text is easy and they are very responsive to your needs. No on-site parking but easy to find lots or garages in the area. I recommend this hotel fully.

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.
