The Highly Upmarket "Hostel"
I needed a room for the night and this place didn't disappoint. I would consider it a highly upmarket hostel over being a hotel... And only because it does have a shared bathroom. Nonetheless, everything was clean, tidy and in good working order.
The location is also great and a short walk from the Little Italy neighbourhood of San Diego.

Amazing get away!
This hotel was an AMAZING experience. I was worried that with the log in instructions and codes to get in doors that it would be shady bug it was beautiful and perfect for our little get away!

Great option but issues checking in
Hard to put a number on this review. Stayed here for 1 night as we were stopping over in San Diego before flying onwards.
The negative - we were provided two door codes when arriving, since the hotel is unstaffed in the evening. The front door code worked fine, the room code did not. We were unable to get a response from the property via the provided email and phone number. Thankfully hotels.com support did manage to get a response from them and after ~30 minutes we were able to access the room via a new code.
The positives - everything else! Convenient location for Little Italy. Huge room for the price/location, and pretty comfortable. Great social areas and selection of tea/coffee and breakfast snacks. If we hadn't had issues when checking-in, would be a 5* review.

Parking was not what I expected, but other than the property not having its own designated parking area the property itself was fantastic and the location was great!

Nice not having to work with people. Although, if there was an issue, I’m not sure how great that part would be. Only stayed one night so it was perfect.

Hotel Zindel was great! Our first stay in this style of hotel where there isn’t a large onsite staff presence.
Place was great. Very clean and such a perfect walkable area.
