Our stay at Hotel Zindel was great! The bed was SUPER comfy. I would say there needs to be better communication between the hotel itself and the concierge services about what amenities the hotel can actually provide. The concierge service was incredible, and there were so many great recommendations.Thoroughly enjoyed, Little Italy, the neighborhood the hotel borders!

Very nice
Easy check in. Good communication. Great location. Close to lots of restaurants and bars, and can drive to most attractions within 10 minutes. Nice hotel. Older building that has been completely renovated. Highly recommend it.

Jim’s review
We liked the hotel. You need to make the daily amenity fee optional. We used none of them. I resent paying that fee.
It is not the best neighborhood and therefore we were nervous about leaving our car parked by the freeway and the ugly lot across the street from the hotel. But it turned out ok. Better, I suppose, than paying the highway robbery fee of $60-65 per night that hotels downtown charge.
We enjoyed Little Italy and the proximity to Balboa Park. I wish the outdoor patio when you first come in from the street was a little cleaner and had a few amenities.
I still rate the hotel 5, but it’s pricey. Remove or make optional the amenity fee.
